This podcast explains the three theories and adds the Benign Violation Theory: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-so-funny/id15545... . Their theory can be summed up as “s…

I really like the ideas in Annie Duke's "Thinking in Bets". The book would suggest that the rightness of a decision shouldn't vary much with the outcome (or with time). The book su…

Whatever Clickup uses for their Clickup docs, it reliably gets into a confused state and data is lost, during which not all editors show the same state locally.

Tonic.ai seemed to fit that bill, but we ended up rolling our own ETL job due to cost concerns, and some security preferences for a simple to audit tool to do this. tonic.ai does i…

Any comparisons to https://www.tonic.ai ? > Based on policies you define, individual fields can be encrypted/decrypted... Are the policies something like "retool" gets tokenized or…

SICM has a similar complaint about ambiguous notation. See https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/sicm-html/bo... . Footnote 2 in particular is worth reading for a particu…

There was a pretty fun Radiolab episode ( https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91569... ) that suggested that the process of recall changes memories, and that the…

I'm not sure exactly what you believe, but since you're talking about information storage, can I ask if you mean for working memory or for long-term memory? For long-term memory, t…

The headline says working memory, not long-term episodic memory, but the comments (and headline) here don't seem to distinguish between the two. We can disrupt short term memories …

Forgive me, because I still am unsure: can a bot in Slack be given permission to create channels, read from, and delete only the channels it creates? Or must one give the Axolo bot…

I thought street crime was a pretty terrible business for most? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UGC2nLnaes Also, bank robbery isn't usually very lucrative, and they've made it har…

I wonder what we've lost ever since Adam Smith started bemoaning the practice of apprenticeships. 7 years under a master could give a person a very solid understand of the topograp…

Files from FinCEN were leaked in September to Buzzfeed and icij.org

I appreciate the intentions behind this bill, and I'm sure we'll find far more corruption than we ever expected through this bill. I'm reminded of the Patriot Act, and the ways the…

They do in China!

In the Bay Area, it’s more like $60-120/sqft/yr, and that’s triple net. Add in 50-100% because you need walkways and such between offices, bathrooms, security, mail room, IT, and o…

Back in 2008, I was fascinated by TeXmacs’ sessions concept. You could mix rich text with Python, or SAGE. This is long before the days of jupyter and I thought it was the coolest …

No worries! I have no problem with the paper authors. Most of the authors on the paper come from neurosurgery/neurology, and I don't doubt for one second that they have a strong gr…

I hadn't read the paper, just the article. Which is primarily what I was commenting on. When I read "now researchers have identified cells in the human brain that make this sort of…

The years I've gone to SFN, I've been amazed at how fragmented the field is. People get into neuroscience from all sorts of places. Neurosurgery, C. elegans research, optogenetic s…

I thought we had discovered pacemaker cells over 20 years ago. I'd be very surprised if that didn't already factor into hypotheses of how episodic memory is ordered. Either this ar…

It's exciting to see this reborn outside of Dropbox!

To be fair, Dropbox works pretty well as a backup (with the ability to restore deleted files via the web UI), as long as you catch it in the 30 day window. When I worked there, I w…
