What are your favorite computer science Twitter accounts?

gtt — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 11:51:04 +0000

After removing politics from my Twitter feed, I found it much more enjoyable and interesting. I'm looking to follow some good mathematics and computer science accounts. Any recommendations?

How significant is the difference in Elo scores for the end user? Should I use Claude Opus if I already have GPT4, despite its similar score?

Additionally, how much better is Claude for coding?

In my opinion science should be about Truth, the rest should be left to people and their leaders. Truth being central to the process of science is what makes science unique and allows for societies to accumulate knowledge.

I think currently is all of them, until we figure it all out. The costs of obesity overweight benefits of convenience of above mentioned things. (You can argue about adenoviruses -- I've got two shots of the adenovirus based vaccine).

>This is a very strong claim that is lacking a source

They are citing overfeeding experiments.

>>Simple logic would suggest that our food is the main culprit.

Then, why does it happen in wild animals? They are not eating processed foods.

Even if the food is main culprit, it leads to the question of what is exactly wrong with the food?

p.s. we have enough data to understand overall historical trends and authors cite it:

>>I'm usually all about investigations like this but the repeated claims that obesity is, for sure, not caused by diet is a leap.

I think authors list convincing arguments:

1) the diets on average not working for weight loss

2) experiments with overfeeding causing a little of easily revertible weight gain

3) lipostate theory with understood possible pathways

When I've tried to predict social unrest or market volatility from the news, I've found, than news actually trailing important events and are useless for any sorts of prediction.

Of course, but you are not actually owning those commodities, then. You are not buying them and this is the point -- with bitcoin you are really in control.
