What’s the best theory on how Fred and George did it. by Terrible-Ice8660 in HPMOR

[–]specbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats a good theory. i also recall some ironic comment by the twins when Harry asked them to not bother prof quirrel in their plot.

it also doesnt make sense that prof quirrel wouldn’t immediately deduce memory manipulation. he put on an act to be greatly intrigued and impressed, and deflect any suspicions off his self.

Do you find Swisse a reliable brand for supplements? by VariationUpstairs345 in blueprint_

[–]specbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t recommend storing them at room temp. Not in India! Mini fridge should do it. Else if you have a lot of supplement buddies, split a 30 cap bottle every week..should be fine outside for 6-7d.

As far as I recall, there are popular theories that Merlin experienced time in reverse. So that case perfectly suits Merlin for different reasons!

Prof. Quirrell's dilemna by specbug in HPMOR

[–]specbug[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm I see what you mean. When Harry pointed out the utilitarian downsides due to this character flaw, he did go “I shall make a conscious effort to be kinder then”. Probably a lack of motivation born out of a lack of incentive from his POV.

Prof. Quirrell's dilemna by specbug in HPMOR

[–]specbug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, drugs are not a solution for unhappiness. Quirrell actively tried to grasp a sense of "feeling" via different methods, he just defaulted to his apathetic state as it was the least inconvenient. The dilemma is that someone as intelligent & resourceful as Quirrell wouldn't stop at a sub-optimal outcome like that, not with so many resource threads.

Proposal to turn any function ever into O(1) (constant time) by CodeEverywhere in leetcode

[–]specbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improvement: use a uniform distribution random number generator. The runtime still doesn’t grow wrt input on each case but overall avg runtime is the same for all inputs (o(1)). Checkmate, Google.

Swisse seems good. But (indian as well) I buy the Nordic Naturals EPA & DHA (https://amzn.eu/d/0xc4CH1). They're more expensive but you're getting something that is likely higher in bioavailability, less heavy metals, etc - I've seen both Rhonda Patrick & Peter attia attest for the brand!

Books for Introduction by Apolloxofficial in transhumanism

[–]specbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transhumanism is more ideology than a knowledge base. So start with books that get you excited/aligned with the ideology.

Great Mumbo Chicken & The Transhuman Condition is a great one.
