Basically volunteer-run. Which makes sense in this context; what gets worked on is mostly about what people want to work on.

Man I love toruses/tori For those inclined to multivariable calculus, do your dopamine crow brain a favor and set pencil to paper. It's super-intuitive because everything's a circl…

What kind of uptime/expectations/etc. are you working with? Scraper "attacks" don't take down our robot-specific server very often; it's safe for us to take heavy-handed approaches…

There are definitely patterns you can use against the scrapers. This maintainer just didn't have time for it, which is understandable. We direct scraper traffic to a bot-specific s…

You can see on the bar chart that this is mostly rebound from Q1 contraction. I was curious: professional/scientific/technical saw little to no growth; the areas that would be most…

Woah, bad day? I've noticed or experienced absolutely none of this. The closest thing I can relate to is that I operate on a different intellectual plane from some of my blue-colla…

There's a well-known book that labels programmers as a specific type of pointless job. "Duct tapers" is the category. Also task masters, who would have a foot under the software de…

I host a webserver for a living, so I might be too far removed from the problem; I don't see anything that 1 minute of effort as part of a less-than-10-minute session with an agent…

Most people associate mushrooms and fungi with the smell of their substrate; they commonly don't have a strong smell themselves I doubt it has a smell stronger than the wearer edit…

Women and men have identical dental anatomy, so no, it's not wisdom teeth. Women would technically be earlier and thus have more, if you get into the details. Aristotle has flaws, …

He stated, in a separate work, that women had fewer teeth as an example of his views on their inferiority. Makes you want to take everything he said with a grain of salt. In his de…

I guess that's the crux of the issue

FWIW I've worked in two different academic labs, both of which would have benefited from a runaway worker barreling down random paths, as long as they were being productive in some…

I didn't know that. A poor assumption I made that his amohetamine use shortened his life significantly.

The mathematics are above my intellectual capacities, but I still find the man and his lifestyle fascinating. Though I admit his heart attack probably wasn't a coincidence, sadly. …

He's quoted as saying the truth is worse than the journalism, and you're brushing off the worst part as "may not be true". It's relevant to the discussion that I care a lot about t…

I greatly enjoy the pastime of understanding the various takes on the personal lives of artists. Many are quite pleasant humans. I read novels on the subject. "the private lives of…

I haven't read Master and Commander and likely never will after reading this article. I couldn't get over the bad taste in my mouth I don't think. Fortunate for you to have read th…

Politely, absolutely not. Physics as a domain is a nightmare. Even the employment statistics are hard to understand because, like Philosophy, only the best of the best pursue it. I…

I was under the impression you were getting BOOK.CHAPTER.VERSE references from the model and then sourcing them from a ground truth db. Anyways, impressive app! We haven't tackled …

Is the difference between this and a frontier model that the scripture is guaranteed to be real? I'm on a team that develops a Bible study app, and we're all relatively content wit…

I notice a stark difference between how I view my chronic-onlineness in the midst of it vs. after a hiatus. Once I've had something like a good book or trip with friends take me aw…
