Working on a python library for combining shell commands and python functions with pipeline operator syntax. Hasn't progressed beyond an experimental prototype, some of the tests (…

I can't say I know much about AI stuff or BEAM. But my best guess is that elixir native ML should integrate well with OTP's distributed computing capabilities. As an outsider to th…

Another python alternative that work well with numpy arrays is astropy.units (also mentioned on the pint website): https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/units/

Needs a few more constraints, otherwise someone could just maintain a session for a week and this task would be trivial

Is it a matter of not finding the problems solved by LAMP/js frameworks interesting? Or in the cases where you solve the same issues as the frameworks, are you not finding the upsi…

Could be worded better but I would interpret it as "No web development skills required to start developing web apps entirely in R/Python". You're still expected to learn web develo…

I was about to disagree but the automated risk evaluation (ARE) part definitely qualifies your whole statement. Going to go off on a tangent: how do we introduce automated risk eva…

Text-based interfaces still have the same issue with being able to make a typo or tab completing without checking. Seems like the major advantage is that these text based tools are…

Platforms such as Etsy, Gumroad and ironically Substack are significantly (if not totally) targeted towards the long tail. An argument can be made that these platforms are not succ…

You can model passive circuits with RLC ordinary differential equations (depending on the setup of the equations there's some algorithms such as Runge Kutta to solve them numerical…

The water molecules aren't chemically bonded to the ions, but they are "bonded" by intermolecular forces. Although weaker than a chemical (intramolecular) bond, the intermolecular …

That's part of the issue in research though, you don't know what will have value. The actual problems that particle/nuclear physicists attempt to solve might not be valuable but th…

With the dismal quality of search engines being a relatively common topic on HN, I could definitely see the role of reference librarian seeing a resurgence, with a stronger focus o…

Is the ChatGPT threat to knowledge workers an actual threat (let's say in the timeframe of a decade) or only a perceived one? I don't think at the current performance of ChatGPT an…

From a brief look at the citations, there doesn't seem to be any scientific basis behind it. The cited patents are either from the same inventor, describe optical manipulation of t…

While resonance is possible, the resonating wave must still overcome the resistance (or whatever analagous "friction" like quantity for the system) in order for the amplitude of th…

I think its more a comment of how we should be open to people contributing to these efforts (while still being mindful of wild claims). While the concept of perpetual motion machin…

Labour costs would be cheaper with self-driving cars, UberEats/SkipTheDishes/Arbritrary Food Delivery App would most likely own the cars. They would definitely factor the vehicle d…

If you can afford to take a lower salary, you could try getting a position as research technician in an engineering lab. No guarantee that you'll develop the skills you want, but a…

I think it's more about how can you make the most of your life despite being "pipelined". It's not realistic for everyone to pursue fulfillment by aiming to be world renowned in a …
