On their website, when I enter a digit, the cursor advances to the next input box automatically. Deleting a digit with backspace also jumps back to the previous box. Seems to work …

I used to love browsing GitHub Explore Trending but in the last two years it is almost exclusively AI apps that are slight improvement on the previous trending page of AI apps. Git…

Yes, I searched for the same. No evidence this has anything to do with the European Union. More like a vibe-coded landing page with user signup form. Edit: I am certain this is one…

“We have no cure. I don’t want to know.” If astronomers announced that a large asteroid might strike Earth in twenty years, and that we currently had no way to deflect it, nobody w…

Wow excellent thank you

A sign says: "Dogs must be carried on the escalator." At first glance it seems clear. On a second read, it becomes obvious that what matters is not the dogs, but whether they are b…

Cool! I have worked 100% in 3 comparable systems over the past 10 years. Can you access with ssh? I find it super fluid to work on the HPC directly to develop methods for huge data…

Amazing. Your final point seems to make most sense - not the original team itself having any problems.

This topic is fascinating to me. The Toy Story film workflow is a perfect illustration of intentional compensation: artists pushed greens in the digital master because 35 mm film w…

Yes, I spend a majority of my professional life on similar systems writing code in vim and running massive jobs via slurm. Required for processing TBs of data on secured environmen…

Wow, already stumbled into some good humour. Well done

I’ve just finished reading Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs. His vision was extraordinary, recognising that even the design of the stores was integral to the product itsel…

Non-AI experts gives their opinion about AI, noting that the data is messy. The goal of the method was to train and work on messy data. The quote is basically pointless. Ironically…

Very sorry to hear about those people. It reminded me of something from childhood. It’s no comment on this story - just a personal anecdote. We were on a family road trip, and I wa…

Wall of text written by LLM. Great demo

Doesn’t that make perfect sense? First test in animals. If carcinogenic in animals then don’t move to humans. A lack of studies in human is hardly a basis for ruling it safe. That …

Side track, but does anyone have suggestions about how to better present such content. I am struggling with similar docs/demos. As a documentation page, each section is laid out un…

I just stop working with people who request or send me data as .xlsx

To note, the placebo group is typically getting the best current existing treatment. Rather than nothing. Although in some cases the best treatment is still nothing, which sucks.

I would disagree with this. Regulators that I have worked with in US and EU knew what it meant. Maybe not the most amazing technical people I’ve ever worked with, but they were as …

Interesting story. I wonder about this “technical tool” put on servers to bypass encryption. Surely encryption and decryption occurs on the user side only. Sounds more like the com…

Right, super popular for death metal guitarists, for some reason.

That is a great story. Thanks for writing it up.
