How does Zotero compare to Paperpile these days? When I first found Paperpile, I was astonished how seamless the browser extension based citation and PDF auto-import worked and nev…

Congratulations Lachy and the π team! This strikes me as a guide star for neuroscience (for me at least): understanding how the brain achieves physical intelligence. Clearly our br…

The Simons Foundation has had an enormous, transformative impact on neuroscience as well. It’s widely considered among the most incisive, forward-looking sources of funding in the …

I used pipes back in college to randomize our roommate ordering in picking dorm rooms. I had it take the top headline on The NY Times website, hash it, and pull out numbers from 1-…

Years ago I wrote an oscilloscope-style monitor for an ATI load cell using ImGUI in the early days. This library would have been extremely useful. Kudos! Screenshot: https://cloud.…

Summary from the abstract with acronyms expanded: “In sum, we have identified NT (neurotensin) as a neuropeptide that signals valence in the BLA (basolateral amygdala) and showed t…

Not really. Lots of neurons in this part of the brain modulate their activity to movement in heterogeneous ways. The algorithm details vary, but at some level you’re trying to find…

Does anyone know of a way to guard rclone passwords that would be stored in rclone.conf? Is it possible to leverage the keychain or this tool for this? Typically passwords for sftp…

Exactly. I believe the 60 million infections delta was estimated for April 6th (figure 4), so the counterfactual would be considerably worse as of today.

As their website is crawling to a halt, there’s also this story on the Harvard Crimson. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2019/12/3/grad-union-stri...

If you're not specifically looking for Computer Modern fonts in your figures but just want vector graphic WYSIWYG exports with your pick of font (beyond what Matlab renders nativel…

They're not transcribing it, so much as selecting the keys one would need to press in order to type the text. That is, the correct key lights up, and they move the cursor and menta…

Just to add clarification points, the term optogenetics is generally supposed to refer to any gene transfection that involves optical access, but in practice there are two separate…

> Graduate students are students. >> Yes, they are. This case is not about that, as it is not in dispute. I do actually think this is disputable. As a late stage PhD candidate, I'm…

Definitely think it would be interesting to see YC Research's take on economics research, but I'm left wondering, why would someone want to take this position? As opposed to, say, …

It's a great question, and I think this is a pretty good insight into the general state of the field of neuroscience at the cellular level. We know a lot of details about things go…

Paul was a close friend of mine, and we worked together on his research during his neurosurgery residency at Stanford. He was a hell of a human being, brilliant, dedicated, creativ…

This seems to follow Betteridges' Law. No coherent argument made for the case that there's any interaction between tech and jewelry. Intuitively, I think the Millenial generation c…
