She eventually did get a job, though not a great one. At that point she was willing to take pretty much anything.

Even Realities G2, and MemoMind One + NIMO glasses coming soon. Vuzix Z100 if you can find them anywhere as well... All of these are green LED displays though, not a full color HUD…

My mid-50's mother was on quite a long unemployment streak, and I suggested she use realtime ML models to replace her webcam face with a de-aged and improved one. Ageism and being …

I'm not sure people fully comprehend the trickle-down pop-culture/zeitgeist effects that LLM's are having/are going to have on humanity. Because everyone now outsources much of the…

Semi-related: Worked as a landscaper during my youth, one of my first jobs I used to think that the line patterns mowed into grass were a purely aesthetic thing. It turns out, the …

Clickhouse just became the hottest talent-attraction on the market. Congrats Andy, hope you enjoy the ride =)

FWIW, in Kotlin's native JSON library, the API is almost identical. val json = JsonObject( mapOf( "providers" to JsonArray( listOf( JsonPrimitive("SUN"), ) ) ) ) println(json) Of c…

I've never built or worked on a service where the JSON payloads were so large that (de)serialization accounted for a significant portion of the timing profile I'm sure lots of them…

It used to be the case that if you wanted to build a web service on the JVM, you wanted 2 things: 1. An HTTP server library/framework 2. A JSON library We got a decently-performing…

There was actually a VERY recent study on mega-dose creatine for sleep deprivation: > "Single dose creatine improves cognitive performance and induces changes in cerebral high ener…

It got the 3D effect of leg behind the bar at least which is impressive

MULTISET is the SQL native way of doing this but it's only implemented in Oracle, and most people have never heard of it jOOQ emulates this feature for arbitrary databases and has …

The closest thing I know of, is that there was a concurrent queue algo called LCRQ It originally required double-width CAS, but IIRC in recent years someone figured out how to remo…

ResearchRabbit is free and has this feature! https://www.researchrabbit.ai/ ConnectedPapers also has this but they started to limit unless you pay: https://www.connectedpapers.com/…

His primary interest nowadays is LLM's. Unsure if he gets paid for it, but he seems to take it as a dayjob.

Neat! Two questions I had after using it: 1) Is there a way to filter the visual atlas by the search term? For instance, I searched "ribosome" and it gave me a list, but I couldn't…

Despite Muse being relatively average, I've actually used the Meta AI webchat LLM since it released. The reason: Its writing style feels "unique", and I find it pleasant to read fo…

Why would you apply to a job for a company you don't even know what they do?

I have paid personal subs to ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini For science (primary biology/pharmacology) questions, Gemini 3.1 Flash Extended produces the answers I _personally_ find …

What a brilliant idea, neat. Thanks for the link.

Benzedrex is not l-Methamphetamine, it is Propylhexedrine

This is straying a bit from the original post, but agreed, NMDA antagonists and related compounds effecting glutaminergic tone are showing promising directions. N=1, I've had very …

"DXM does nothing", proceeds to link a study whose contents describe significant decreases in cough severity versus placebo. I am convinced that many people ask LLM's "give me a ci…
