Seems normal to me.

Linguist here. It would likely be pronounced with a flap/tap, i.e., it would rhyme with shadow

I remember hearing about an interesting paper; it argued that Zebra finch songs were as complex as recursively enumerable languages on the Chomsky hierarchy. I wanted to see if I c…

Willing to be corrected but I believe this type of automated resume filtering is illegal. Not saying it never happens but my understanding is it is not typical.

My first rule—before doing anything else—when writing a sentence, is to check whether I could have removed the em dashes by re-ordering the elements. Update: in case it’s not obvio…

Breaking knowledge down into combinable modules is a great insight; ultimately, I think that’s the idea behind Zettlekasten.

I’ve started going down a similar path for scent and ADHD. I have a horrible sense of smell and just learned that it might correlate with symptoms of ADHD.

I’ve had surprisingly positive results with these red light glasses: https://www.eye-power.co.uk/product/eyepower-red/ I don’t know who on Hackernews first mentioned these red ligh…

Fantastic tool and love the delivery; no sign up required. Interested to hear how you pulled that off. Also interested to hear if you plan to eventually support an option to add pi…

“What’s the memory bandwidth (GB/s) of the device holding the model weights?” Isn’t the recommended option going to be dog slow at 256 GB/s.

Damn. Amazing response.

I disagree with the author at a surface level; we can retain much more than 90% of what we read. The curious can look up deep reading strategies, e.g., those summarized by Benjamin…

I’m drawing a connection here between red light therapy being most beneficial if done in the morning. Might mitochondria only be able to benefit from “recharging” in a recharge sta…

I don’t know about others but I felt like this article is so high level that it didn’t explain anything at all. Here’s a link to the paper: https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com…

I’ll highlight a note from the developer: Sim Daltonism lets you see through the eyes of someone with a color blindness. While the colors shown are a good approximation of what a c…

Not for the faint of heart but look at figure 3 of the original paper: * https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-56461-1 Amazing!

I really appreciate what Johnny Decimal is trying to solve - we're all struggling with digital organization and the appeal of a clean, simple system is undeniable. Having implement…

Anecdotal, so take this with a grain of salt: I’ve used a pair of red light glasses from a Dr in the UK and saw noticeably improved vision.

Suggestion to the void: update the map so that it shows the counties and districts without power.

I had this exact same thought yesterday. I’d go so far as to add one more layer to monitor this one and stop adding layers. My thinking is that this meta awareness is all you need.…

Do I understand correctly that these apps are able to bypass OS permissions of whether to allow location data?

This almost guaranteed to be a waste of time for others, though, because you created them for yourself, perhaps less so for you. Learning isolated facts via flashcard give you the …

Didn’t see it mentioned but good to know about: UCR matrix profile. The Matrix Profile is honestly one of the most underrated tools in the time series analysis space - it's ridicul…
