Post a video of you doing the experiment...
I did wonder myself.
I did not read many of the [FM], but I did read the one where 210 stackers had been tagged within the story. It was a nice fun touch, but it likely also was done with the goal of bringing more eyes/sats to the story so as to increase its zaprank...
I didn't check if it worked.

That's very specific. Hmmm, maybe you are using AI~~
But it's a bit more surprising that one experimental treatment can have lasting impacts on overall cognitive levels over a four month period, unless those tests were directly related to the experimental treatment.
I think the study ran over 4 months, with repeated sessions.
Don't want to appeal to authority, but the affiliation of the authors seems to indicate this was likely done thoroughly. Also, the fact it made number 1 spot on HN is not a bad indicator of quality.
208-page preprint... maybe we should ask AI to summarize it.
does it free up our time and mental energy to think about other tasks?
Yes. I often ask AI to give me a first summary of a paper before diving into the math myself.
Thanks. I finally got around to checking what are the "definitions" for each of the labels. I didn't even know about Gen Alpha and Gen-X. I just know I am a millennial, my parents are boomers, and the people that I don't understand are Gen-Z.
I think some people just like labels. My wife loves talking about her being INFJ. I still don't remember my letters, even though I did the test, and she knows my labels. She got annoyed once by the fact i did not remember, but then suddenly accepted it when she read somewhere that INFJ care about the letters while my subgroup is known for not caring about the letters.

Wow didn't realize you put so much work in those summaries. I even at some point cheaply assumed you were using AI to curate them...
Appreciate the work!
That's what is being used on SN, e.g. see https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/pull/1910

I understand your sentiment, but from a technical point of view, Cato Institute says Hongkong implements an MFP pension system, not a PAYG system. I.e., you contribute to your own pension; your contributions are not being used for the pension of current retirees.
IMO, the former is much more sustainable than the latter. Ofc, you are still dependent on market conditions and the funds where the money is being invested to. And ofc, it also depends on the government's goodwill, as illustrated here.
Instead of tokenizing papers and playing with shitcoins (cfr sci-net), she maybe should look into real censorship resistant tech like nostr.
Love to see this kind of project bringing new eyes to Bitcoin.
Practical question, how did you generate the private keys? One must trust you did not keep a copy of each of those keys, right? Are the envelopes tamper proof? What postal service do you use?
and secure their gift
So this a manual that teaches the recipient how to transfer the funds to an exchange or hardware wallet with truly private keys?
The amounts are small, so these questions are mostly out of curiosity. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages of this approach, so still think this is a great project.
The computer cluster has ;)
Doing a lot of HPC these days.
Not as much as a few years back, though; at the time, I was running jobs on 10,000 CPUs in parallel.
Today I learnt that
shell treats numbers as octal: $((10#$2)) vs $(($2)) when my second argument was 08, completely messing up a script. I only noticed it two weeks into the calculation. fmlI did not read the article, so this is just a hot-take. My hunch is that to have children, one must already be happier than others to even consider it. Here, lots of childless couples carry some heavy childhood trauma, making them, on average, less happy, not wanting to pass on their burden and genes to someone else, and thus, less likely to have children. Basically, it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Happy coz of no kids, or no kids coz of not happy, that is the question. Just a hunch though.

From XKCD.
Interesting turn of events.
Just a good reminder that (i) prediction markets will be gamed and (ii) arrogance is a vice (@denlillaapan and myself counting our chickens before the year is hatched).
But that's what makes it entertaining, so let's keep degen betting and counting chickens~~
Should we open a prediction matket to find out who @247bf84fda is? With the proper odds, and thanks to his delicious sense of irony, I'm sure we can trigger him to reveal himself by manipulating the market once more~~
