Back and shoulder surgery contra/indications must pass through an AND gate. Appropriate age, symptoms, duration, no response to drugs, specific target in the MRI. If one fails, it is contraindicated, which happens in 95-99%, at least for my patients.

This is an amazing endeavour for a child but I am sceptical about the transfer of this dexterity to real life achievements and eventually happiness. My son was obsesssed at that age with LEGO, making his own sets and uploading them to public repos, and now at 11 yo all he wants is to be a soccer player with no interest in any intellectual activity.

Soccer is not just physical - it's also team work, strategy, diet, tenacity, etc. A lot of those skills can be learned from almost any activity, including building lego sets online.

The best soccer players are incredibly intelligent and fast thinking.

Cells are specialized to their function, as well as to their diseases. The trade offs mentioned in the article seem simplistic, trying to capture the billions of years of evolution. Repair, regeneration, regrowth and cancer have distinct mechanisms that vary from cell type to type.

Liver regeneration has been known since the ancient times: in Greek mythology an eagle was eating the liver of Prometheus every day for thousands of years after Zeus punished him for donating the fire to humans but he survived to be saved by Hercules.

I love when I can reason about and follow the LLMs' output, when I learn from it. I hate when it makes me dumber and less efficient.

There were the fundaments of communism two centuries ago.

Hemispheric neurons seem totally different than those of brain stem, the latter being more like an extention of spinal cord. Higher neurons are not only specialized but they form sophisticated centres and complicated networks that process the highest sensory and motor signals and form what human is. The brain stem only contains nuclei and autonomic centres that are of low complexity. We knew they are different, kudos to the team that explored, proved, published and even applied this knowledge.

In ancient Greek the word Logos means Reason and Analogy. He explicitly states that they are not the same. So I guess we have a debate.

I suggest we support the, already in use, name of America for the whole continent, so, almost for free, USA means all north and south America countries together and we are done with land. Now the oceans are tricky: Atlantic can become East American sea and Pacific, West American sea. Or just Little Boy and Fat Man.

May be that's the reason for the alpha naming. We are waiting for a stable release (just kidding).

I wonder where does Linux have more share, in personal desktops, in private companies or in government.
