Do you by any chance have the base model? I'm trying to see if folks think it's sufficient for their needs. It's hard to calibrate memory needs coming from Intel.

This may be off-topic, but it's incredible how Brian Josephson went off the rails with his paranormal quantum theories. A fascinating read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_dise…

It's worth repeating Mark Kac's famous quote: > In science, as well as in other fields of human endeavor, there are two kinds of geniuses: the “ordinary” and the “magicians.” An or…

Interesting you mention Russia. The leadership of Russia spends a lot of time thinking about how to denigrate LGBTQ+ folks. Racism is alive and thriving in Russia. They even recent…

Sorry honest question: why is that dystopian? Also :+1: gives me the usual yellowish emoji.

Thanks for linking this article! I loved reading it. I'm curious to hear any counterpoints from experts to the main ideas presented here.

Fun fact about sardines: they used to be super popular in the US, until they were massively overfished on the west coast (Cannery Row is the classic example). They were gradually r…

I usually eat them with cheese and homemade bread. Sometimes I'll add a caprese salad on the side, and that's dinner. Another fantastic recipe is pasta con le sarde. It's a classic…

It's exactly the same with quantum computation right now.

This is a wonderful idea. Children (and adults) learn best by doing. There's such a big difference between watching some tv show and making an actual experiment to see structures i…

> relying on vaccination and sterilisation too much, causes the immune system to be weak I think you fundamentally misunderstand the mechanism of vaccination.

True. Our brain also makes similar guesses, e.g. in the blind spot, and in most optical illusions.

They're private companies. They're free to decide which countries to serve in. That is very different from dictating the laws in the countries. In one case, they're sacrificing pro…

Well that's a long reply, and I agree with you by and large. RH has a bright future if they communicate better with their users. Re: Fidelity, by excellent I mean: it does what I w…

I've used Fidelity for many years: the app is excellent.

Do you know if there's an open source PLB like the inReach?

The IPS V2 fixed the quality issues in the early displays. I can honestly recommend buying another GBA and modding it. The panel is 4x upsampled, which brings a very cool look to m…

> you present it as if the non-eurocentric world is more conducive to the continental tradition Ah okay, I see the confusion: I mean "western philosophy".

Warning though: this requires amazing bike infrastructure. In most places in the US, cycling on the road can be an extremely stressful experience.

Sorry, when I say Eurocentric, I include the UK. Europe for most people still includes the British Isles, regardless of the preferences of certain conservatives. Also, wow that's a…

This is such a good point. Pretty much any human endeavor (philosophy, startups, physics, mathematics, literature, music, art, physical training, etc) can be much more fruitful whe…

I'm elated that Andrea Ghez won!! She came to talk at my high school in 2007, and sparked a lot of my interest in astrophysics. Highly deserved. Here's something closely related to…
