Why is ferrocene ungraphable or in this context unable to be modelled in that way?

Would you care to share that paragraph with the rest of the class in that case?

Are accuracy and relevance calculable?

I recently needed to download Orion on a new computer and I couldnt find it in the AppStore.

No problem directly downloading from the source (arguably better cuz I can keep the installer) but is there a reason Apple isnt allowing Orion on the AppStore or was that a choice on Kagi's part?

This headline ("looking to") seems to soften the previous headlines I've seen about this. Is this a proclamation or a public negotiation???

Do you think this pivot-middle idea is generalizable to other domains?

What is the logic or context that allows them such latitude and autonomy or to even conceptually exist at all? Are they specialized in such a way that they are qualified and expected to focus on higher-quality problems or difficult to hire for or they maybe dont have to deal directly with people in some sense

How does one become sufficiently shrewd to capitalize or orient oneself towards that Golidlocks zone?

Ironically, tho, sometimes I wish there was a parallel collection without the music videos because I kind of enjoy their actual real-world misadventures and them being "on the road" out in public (menace) more than the hilarious music video critique sessions

Whatever they are living of needs to be equalized so they are taxed irl much the same as a normal person. They often get away with this by getting ultra low interest loans backed by their holdings as collateral and living off credit.

That needs to change. They need to feel the same taxation everyone else has, it makes it harder to survive and they need to live by the same sword

Are you aware of any distinction between extensive sitting vs extensive reclining like on a divan?

My intution is there is a distinction besides the fact both are sedate behaviors

If time dilation is said to being a product of computation, why is it that anaesthetic drugs that are taken not to the point of actual unconsciousness cause it. Dont anaesthetics sort of shut everything down/inhibit all that kind of cognitive activity (compute?)

For sure, I like Gabor Mate's focus also not necessarily on why the specific drug but why the hurt
