I recall a story where a friend was unable to publish a paper in which he wrote an alternative to a very commonly used commercial tool (that virtually everybody used) with roughly …

Cold calling businesses is definitely not illegal in Germany if you got the contact info from their website.

The huge difference between spiritualism and religion is that religion is dogmatic and systemically organised. In my opinion freeing spirituality from the clutch of religion is the…

Bayes Theorem is one of the most fundamental theorems in the history of mathematics. I have yet to work in a field where it doesn't have deeply fundamental applications. In many ca…

Testing out the demo: SELECT * FROM trips WHERE tip_amount > 500 ORDER BY tip_amount DESC Very interesting :-)

From my very limited understanding the Graphcore machines outperform CUDA only significantly in inference, in training the improvements might not be sufficient to switch technology…

With likely very dire results, yes I think you should. If your mothers insurance rate goes up, since you got one of these dna tests for Christmas, she should be involved in the dec…

But the problems where we apply human labour are vastly different from the ones where we apply machine labour. In (most) tasks where we apply human labour a few errors are tolerate…

Having worked extensively on synthetic data, what's your "verdict" on the topic? People seem to be very divided about it.

To me it's not about input being the bottleneck, but about Vim having a modular grammar, such that my brain can stay in "problem space" instead of "how do I edit the file space". I…

Very interesting. I feel like I have written this exact sentence somewhere online only with the languages reversed. Tried to get into FP multiple times with Haskell, never clicked,…

For some years I was the developer you talk about, who always knew everything better, now I am a manager at a startup. So I was able to see both sides of the discussion. I feel lik…

> Even the example of hosting complexity being replaced by cloud companies seems kind of silly to me. Maybe that’s saving very small companies a sizable fraction of their engineeri…

I just would like to add to all the great comments, that clojure also has access to the python ecosystem via libpython clj.

One could even argue that a lot of startups are VC backed R&D. Only VC does not care for the scientific, not-directly monetizable outcomes.

I haven't figured that part out either ;-)

From what I understand, you asked four questions in one: 1. how do you learn, 2. How do you decide what to learn, 3. How do you manage your learning time and 4. How do you handle t…

Probably not the question you had in mind, but what Lisp and what made you choose it?

AWS has roughly double the market shared. So it is very likely that they take that title. https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-clou...

Thanks for your honesty, I thought I was the only one.

It's a little hard to discuss when you don't actually read my comments and just skim over them. > Technology is already being developed as ASIC PHYs for commercial applications as …

> The higher the frequency, the steeper the gradient. Losses also scale with frequency. And while other acceleration principles have higher voltage gradient, they still can't reach…

That is simply not true, the plasma wakefield accelerators are really a rather new technique but they are NOT meant to be used at such high energies, but rather for small experimen…
