Using Firefox Mobile reader mode turns the page into one, continuous brick of text. No way of discerning sections, lists, or anything since no newlines seems to work. I might have missed something, but that ain't a fix. I'd prefer scrolling sideways.
My thoughts as well. He himself went ALL the way through the educational system broadly and were into arts and so on, so did his friend and collaborator Morris. Granted, PG has seen tech talent and success unfold on a scale that few will experience, which gives him a unique perspective. I'm still left wondering what role he attributes having close friends like he did, peers, mentors, community and collaboration...
I for one adore and cherish the works of Plato, and in general put him amongst the most important persons to have lived. Imaging that he could have been overseen, forgotten, or ridiculed fully, perhaps the proper question is: What can I, you, and we accomplish to remedy a norm where money & power override truth, where false beliefs aren't questioned no more. Not in the dumb sense, where some preconceptions of truth rules, but in a truly questioning, scientific style.
As if people aren't accustomed to free speech, free science, free people, free for all, and countless other examples where free refers to freedom. The basic assumption falls flat on the ground.
Petar Veličković et al has a concept of geometric deep learning, see this forthcoming book: https://geometricdeeplearning.com/
There is also the Categories for AI, cats.for.ai, course which deals with the applying category theory into ML.
Get a paid job with experts who enjoy sharing their knowledge and thought processes. Work hard and gain expertise, then share it yourself. Transition from one domain to a related, or step up a higher level. That's the money part. Make sure to have a few, true hobbies with fun, dedicated, and serious folks. But most importantly, be an expert in living a fulfilling, wholesome life with people where love and friendship is the main theme.
Terry Wahls, the doctor who claims she reversed her MS through diet would only partly agree. In her book 'The Wahls Protocol', she spells a diet regime out from a functional medicine perspective.
Unfortunately for people with MS (like myself) she’s wrong. Her original experience is in fact quite “normal” for the behaviour of MS. It gets significantly worse, then significantly better, then worse, etc etc.
Her study that then followed up did find a positive result, but had a very small sample size, nowhere near large enough for a highly variable condition like MS. Drug companies have to spend billions running 5-10-20 year studies with 1000’s of participants to verify the efficacy of their MS treatments for good reason.
A recent Cochrane review on diet interventions for MS which references her study (amongst others obviously) concluded that “at present there is insufficient evidence to determine whether supplementation with antioxidants or other dietary interventions have any impact on MS related outcomes.”
The biggest giveaway that a medical treatment is snake oil in my experience is when it comes with a book for sale for £20 on Amazon.
Meta: I deeply appreciate this article explicitly stating "The evidence is current to May 2019." It's so hard for noobs like me to sherlock this stuff.
> supplementation with antioxidants or other dietary interventions
Those other interventions are macronutrients, to benefit your mitochondria. I'll go back and look, but I don't recall Wahls saying much about antioxidants.
FWIW, I believe, but cannot prove, that Wahl's advice to resume eating meat, esp organ meat, benefitted me. I had been working towards vegetarian and suffering terribly from inflammation and autoimmune stuff. I have no idea how or why. I only know that whenever I resume my prior dietary habits (more carbs, less meat), I decline. My fat and produce consumption has remained more or less constant. A lot coconut oil, olive oil, and every big leafy green that fits into the blender.
