We have one for my city centered around socializing and meeting people. We haven’t been getting any of the kinds of problems that everyone else here have faced.

Still, some are closer to the source of these ideas than others, think about awards attributed to individuals for example.

This is where the researchers would disagree with you. I don’t know if you’ve ever been involved in research (or startups). There’s a common saying that ideas are a dime a dozen. It’s much more so the work you do that’s important, not the idea itself.

singers, actors, politicians, or youtubers

Notice how being in the spotlight is an important aspect of all the professions you’ve listed. That naturally selects for people who are comfortable with or enjoy being on camera and are good at that kind of live performance. Similarly, science selects for people who are good at doing science. Sometimes, there’s an overlap, but it’s not that common.

If you’re interested in interviews with prominent scientists, Lex Fridman does quite a few of those. But if you want more people to do this, you’ll have to contend with the fact that most scientists simply have no interest in being on camera and probably never developed the skills needed for it.

We likely don’t know much about the researchers of modern technology because they’re often created by a huge team of hundreds of people. There’s no single person responsible for the bulk of the work. In the case of ChatGPT and the line of work leading up to it, it was very much also the researchers’ choice as well to not name a specific person as being the main contributor. For example, the transformer paper had all the author names shuffled so the credit doesn’t all end up with one person.

Same. I keep thinking back to my time TAing for an intro programming course and getting students who just add random braces until their code compiles. That’s me right now with Rust pointers.

Markov chains, but without being Markovian.

The numbers you want to look at are PDCASS and/or DIAAS scores of each protein source.

But… I like the solitude of night time. :(

I think the part that stinks is all the dead skin sticking to the hair and all the skin oils and bacteria accumulating on that mass.

You can do the protein powder first. Just make sure that when you pour in the water, it stays on top of the protein and doesn’t seep through to the bottom. Then flip the bottle over, shake it (without flipping) until all the powder unsticks from the bottom, then proceed to shake normally.

Alternatively, fill the bottle with about an inch of water, add the powder, then fill the rest of the way with water and shake normally.

The problem with water first is that you can’t stick the scoop into the bottle and protein powder flies off everywhere.

Having come from the world of C++, this was a huge step up.

Interesting that you list vice versa. What do you typically use instead?

This one amuses me. It looks all fancy in writing. But if someone says “milk toast” and you don’t know what it means, they just sound like an idiot.

That’s the fun thing about food (and wine especially). You don’t need to have the ingredient present for it to taste like that ingredient. I made chocolate chip cookies once that tasted like bananas, and I most definitely didn’t add bananas to them.

I’ve never seen anyone use “demure” in a serious context. It seems to always be used to convey a mocking tone.

Relevant XKCD

Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I’ll never get to.

There’s one major problem with this kind of website that I’ve been wanting a solution for, and it’s that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it’s actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that’s intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.

Rules for thee, but not for me

I’ve heard a lot about the Rwandan genocide, but this is my first time hearing of OP’s thing. It’s more interesting to read about something novel, which is probably why you see more of this being shared.

The first half of your comment made sense in isolation. The second half also made sense in isolation. It was the whole thing put together that didn’t make sense.
