Right? "Go find outsized success, but I'm going to put a non negotiable cap on the size. You can pick a bad direction for good reasons, but only you will be responsible if there ar…

I've been running Affinity Photo on Fedora for a while by running this installation script[1]. Works flawlessly and they recently upgraded the script to install Affinity 3.0. I hav…

You’re getting awfully close to being rude. There’s no reason to try to go around imposing your perspective when it’s just you venting about feeling stuck. We all feel stuck from t…

Thank you for that! I think I read about this a long time ago, internalized it, and forgot it. Pretty on the nose in this conversation... haha.

Hey, I know what the article wanted to say, see the last two-ish sentences of my previous response. My point, is that the article might be mis-interpreting what the causes and solu…

Yes, I agree. I'm not against the idea that the brain can "store" things. Just whether our concept of how a "memory" "feels" is useful to us further understanding the brain's funct…

I mean an LLM (bad example, but good enough for what I'm trying to convey) doesn't need any sort of "memory" to be able to reconstruct something that looks like intelligence. It st…

I'm not convinced the brain stores memories, or that memory storage is required for human intelligence. And we "hallucinate" all the time. See: eye witness testimony being wrong re…

I think the play was something along the lines of being "the new iOS". Lots of new apps (see: LLMs) are browser-first, forgoing building platform-targeting apps entirely. When they…

As someone who grew up in Dubai, the tourism industry everywhere breaks the soul of the place. Dubai, especially the places where people actually live and set up a livelihood, is a…

Other commenters are wrong. Live-cell can be done with older single-molecule localization microscopy using techniques like PAINT. The fluorophore is usually strategically added in …

Couple more notes: 1. Stephen Hell has been theorizing about how to do super-res microscopy since the mid-90s, so the article saying it was sci-fi "20 years ago" is off by about 10…

If you ask most neuroscientists they’d say the same. Only a small subset of us would cite the literature that the brain’s caloric neuronal activity is ~10-15% unaccounted for by th…

Access logs + maintaining backups + version control + relying on the hope that no one’s cat runs on their backspace key during the session where access control says they logged in …

Bingo! A file sent out creates a specific paper trail and accountability for all parties. If I want to make sure there’s a record of me sending documentation to someone, I’m not re…

Never. The Apple bet, the North Star, is that personal computing is both the present and the future. The minute an exception gets carved out, like “personal computing but not in Eu…

I have disorganized thoughts about this, but it's not just a debate about vertical isolation vs not. 1. The size of Apple/Alphabet/Samsung makes it difficult to enter the market (s…

The funny thing is, I think either goals or a constraint are a tool that should serve the user. Constraints that don't automatically allow the user to achieve goals they would have…

Not if (a) it misses a line of research has been refuted 1-2 years ago, (b) the experiments at recommends (RNA-Seq) are a limited resource that requires a whole lab to be setup to …

Thank you for that. Downloaded. @OP: I'm wondering if more than just sorting, whether filtering could be added? I would want to find both highly rated books with high numbers of re…

A revelatory read that is surely going to end as up one of the year’s standouts. I didn’t expect the twist at the end!

The move fast and break things mantra, at least in my estimation, was always about not being fearful of trying new things. The things that break on the way were always going to bre…

I think the world at large today could use a few more people appealing to our better natures. For that, this is a wonderful statement. I wish there was a way to moderate our modern…

What if there was one further section in the left column that runs across the y axis and tallies ingredients? That way there are three "segments" of the spreadsheet: shopping; prep…

I have been evangelizing this message to my close circle of friends and colleagues lately. None of us are devs. I switched my laptop to Fedora this summer. All my windows problems …
