Welcome.

Thanks, though late.

The isolation-experiment-based research is not new and didn't originate with Lilly. AFAIK, it was first recorded (and possibly also originated) with Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn-e Sina is the full, correct name).

And he was not an Ayrab (Salmon in his intro CS book claims Al-Khuarezmi was an Arabic scholar--which is false and made me lose all respect for Salmon as an educator. If he got such an elementary fact wrong, what else is there that could be incomplete?)

PS: Yes Alkhuarezmi wrote in Arabic, but he was not an Arab. All classical Persian scholars at the time were fluent in Arabic as it was the lingua franca of science, medicine, philosophy and theology.

i had Bolt create an interactive app teaching me Oberon language but despite several attempts to fix issues, there were still glitches in unexpected places. So the experience was... meh.

Then I went back to a book written by humans (Eric Nikitin's "Realm of Oberon").

yeah, it smelled Slop.

you mean like in Oberon?

exactly. if you don't like it, don't read it.

Oh, by the way, it's grammar, not grammer. ;)

Comments like yours is the main reason I read HN.

it took me 11 seconds to realize it was AI slop.

Antony Trollope says in 'Eustace Diamonds' that he feels in a lot of professions, experience creates more competent people than mere learning. (Rough paraphrase). In other words, you don't get to be truly competent unless you are earning that experience!

the culprit is not the sun-- but overdoing it. If you overdrink water, it is fatal, too.

The sun is responsible for benefiting over 200 processes in the body. And you don't need to be out in the sun all day to get the benefits (if your job does not demand it).

I'm reading Trollope these days. There's a massive difference between the two authors. Trollope is more psychological, focused on relationship dynamics (at least in the books I've read so far, such as "He knew he was right").

A bit dull at the start but it quickly ramps up and escalates to pitch fever excitement. Can't wait to see what Lizzie would do wrt to her diamonds. :)

Eh... I don't think a man capable of such poetry to be that asshole. He says as much in the second preface. I think he may have used the narrator in the first part of the novel as his own mouthpiece.
