Ebook available only on Amazon? Bah. Normal epub or something that I can read in a normal ebook reader app pls.

I disagree with your claim in general.

But also, more specifically,

The quintessential example of explosive skill acquisition is foreign language learning. It’s standard advice that if you really want to speak Spanish, you should do a language immersion—travel to Mexico and only speak Spanish while there—rather than practicing with apps and textbooks for an hour a week. I’d bet that the person who spent two months hanging around Tijuana - or who immersed themselves in spanish media and telenovellas for a few months, is going to be better at Spanish than the person who has a million Duolingo points.

I did move to a Spanish-speaking country a year ago. I did try to use Spanish with other people in that country wherever I went. And no, after two months my friend with a million Duolingo points but no experience in an actual Spanish-speaking country was still better than me.

I don't think that if you don't respond to a comment arguing with you, people will think you've lost the argument. I wouldn't think like that. I would just evaluate your argument on my own and I would evaluate the counterargument in the comment on my own. I don't bother to respond to comments very often and I haven't seen anything bad come out of it.

What about some examples from your real life? Asking because we don't really know many details behind the 2 given examples.

It says it's open source but I couldn't find where to download the weights.

How do people react to the sight of you in that mask?

You should make an even bigger emphasis that this is about Asians' preferences in the US. Also, I disbelieve that feminized faces are more attractive to women. Perhaps the study you cited is erroneous in some way. Also, I didn't like so many discussions of "is this racism? is this not racism?" in the article. I think this is too judgmental and detracts from the article. However, overall, I found it an interesting read. I liked it that you posted abl bunch of plots and statistics.

If I ever decide to have kids, which is unlikely, hour blog will surely be a big part of the source of motivation.

I'm not enthusiastic about your definition of fairness. Also, I would study how fair the division of gains from this trade are.

I think the first puzzle would be difficult for an average human to solve unless they are good with math. Because how would you know that your solution is optimal? You can notice a theorem that if a solution never moved any piece away from its target, then it's optimal, and then realize that this puzzle does allow such a solution, but this requires to have experience with mathematical reasoning.
