How a children's game proves ADHD really is all in... →
I feel that the title and mood of this piece is extremely unfounded. The story is about a system that helps kids manage by improving their concentration. It is certainly preferable to medication, but in no way does it prove that ADHD is fake. Either way, this is great news for parents. It suggests that similar results could come from meditation or maybe some of those mind force games that have...

This is much more awesome then it appears. On the surface it is a stupid tool to make an incomprehensibly complicated definition for any word. In fact, it may be the key to having thinking AI. The difficulty with creating thinking machines is, among other things, that there is a massive language and cultural barrier. Although you may not notice it, language is necessarily related to the biology...
Proof that animals are the first to sense an earthquake. So tight.
Another cool new sporting machine, it looks like they need to add a spring in there or something, not quite ready for commercial use.
I think this is about as close to human flight as you can get, and looks far cheaper than other methods. It’d be nice if he could get an engine on this bad boy, but other than that it looks tight.

An unrelated end of a world
fishbowlman:

A new study shows that prions (proteins that turn other proteins into themselves) are capable of evolution, meaning, among other things, that life could have originally formed without “instructions” as is the case with DNA.
