Even the name "work louder" seems to encourage some sort of post-literacy future; I find it off-putting.

Seems like this post might have put them out of stock.

It was fun to guess these without being familiar. I sort of guessed based on vague knowledge of age and name familiarity. Maybe I was lucky.

Suffering from executive dysfunction obviates that there is no free will, and it's as if good health is simply having that illusion work out harmoniously.

I think you make a good point that much of what we call thinking is really discourse either with another ^[0], with media, or with one's own self. These are largely mediated by lan…

Even if this is a possible factor it most certainly would not be the only cause.

Agreed. I have never heard a scientist use this phrase, but I've heard plenty of left leaning folks use it. As left wing politics absorbs science as it's cause - and not a cause th…

I disagree. You can read a book or listen to a record, watch a dvd, unlimited times, having fairly paid upfront a price for the item. A computer is general purpose and lets you che…

Profitable for sure, but I'm often half surprised by the lack of competition against subscription-based everything these days.

Without having read into this deeper, it sounds like someone could take an original video which has this code embedded as small fluctuations in luminance over time and edit it or p…

This comes up in so many threads here... How can we change the culture of subscriptions back to pay once???

I mean, are the phones themselves really making money off ads or are those totally separate companies? I don't disagree that this brings in business, but I don't agree that this is…

Number one factor for me when buying a phone is how long is it going to last . I mean durability, camera quality, os updates. Will I still want to use/be using it in 5 years? I can…

This brings personal nostalgia to when I was very young and made an "OS" in PowerPoint using links between slides, animations, and the embedded internet explorer object. Similarly,…

Certainly other field are competitive, but the current AI boom has been ridiculous for a while now. As an outside observer, the competition seems to be for the final money, prestig…

To add to that, I agree with the basic sentiment of the article - but it just doesn't seem to be the reflections of an academic. Ending with optimism about AI, to me, makes me thin…

The thesis here is not well elaborated on. Ref [1] for example seems to me to miss more recent progress on our understanding of working memory, and in linguistics, while Chomsky's …

Ofc I love this, as a LibreOffice exclusive user Document signing in Libreoffice on Linux has caused me nothing but trouble, and other critical features a government might want to …

and though the provided biology was vague, I do think it's valid that societal tipping points depend on the fact that individual psychobiology does in fact and obviously cause such…

Generally I agree that this article is throwing vague reference at hormonal processes, but on the other hand I do think that American society's allergy to touch, restriction of all…

In the way that `ggplot2` tries to abstract those common "high dimensional" graphing components into an intuitive grammar , such that you may in many places be able to guess the se…

Out of curiosity, how do you describe your medication making you hyper focus on anything other than work? My psychiatrist has told me that means it's working, yet I feel like it is…

This certainly hurts research. Suddenly every response is trying to tie in some general themes I've asked about in the past, and the already mediocre quality becomes pandering garb…

Another HN reader confused here. I have no idea what this tool is or what it's for or how it's helpful from your website. I think it's a development and documentation tool of some …

Out of curiosity, are there models for speech synthesis which generate speech parametrically and then refine neurally?
