I'm probably out of my depth here but, in general, there is certainly value to the act of popularizing scientific ideas. He's like the John Hull of evolution! Even his Oxford chair was awarded on that premise, as best as I can tell. Whether that should or should not give him a platform to express h...

I think you need to transform LHS according to simple multiplication formulas and next use the fact that the arithmetic average is not smaller than the geometric one. I'd calculate it, but I got high on frankincense (https://www.mei.edu/sqcc/frankincense). Burnt sage is also good - to repel evil spi...

Many women should have never had children. (That's why I'm not going to have them )

A nice animation of sneaky little RL-trained agents playing hide and seek to make the world a better place Are they looking for VC funding? Agent technology was hype around 2001, especially mobile agents. Ir's too difficult. It's OpenAI/Musk - always looking for VC :-) It actually shows that reinfo...

Thanks, Trackstar and Bearish. Indeed the recipe contained too much of the ingredient for it to be truffles. I got the recipe book from a raw vegan restaurant in Oslo. Jeg liker sjampinjong! (men jeg liker sjokolade mer ;-D) Cuchulainn, печериці (UA) and pieczarki (PL) - from печерa / pieczara (cave...
