Nifty, but the article should have elaborated on the use cases. It suggested that training is the biggest one, but are these really a substitute for actually feeling real-world thi…

Thanks. The original description made this seem like far-future technological magic. A system that can somehow analyze a random pane of glass and derive all the transformations nee…

As a young man, I would have given nearly anything to attend Stanford or MIT, but I knew I wasn’t quite up to their standards. Now I find their presidents are not up to mine.

Ironically, that ended up teaching him an important lesson about capitalism.

Something laser-guided if you ask me.

Good Lord, all of that sounds horrible. More power to you for whatever else you face ahead on this.

I will. There’s no streaming service that guarantees any level of bitrate or picture quality, and if they can save a few cents by compressing the hell out of my movie, they will. I…

Meanwhile my new EV keeps feeling more and more like a quiet and comfortable tracking collar.

Fellow Alamedan here, same. I was surprised it was across the Bay.

I’m always amused by Americans (and I am one) who think our weather is so great, when we actually have the worst overall weather on Earth.

“It’s not a tumor!” - Kindergarten Cop.

I haven't seen any evidence of this, at all.

That's an interesting question. The Economist attempted to answer it with their series "The Prince" ( https://www.economist.com/theprincepod ), and I believe their conclusion is th…

Based on some of his more candid interviews, especially ones shortly after the collapse, it seems SBF doesn't have much of a moral center. Whether or not he's also autistic, I can'…

Using Tower for Nextflow can help streamline it on AWS, it’s pretty powerful (but costs money for anything beyond trivial use cases): tower.nf

The closest I’ve gotten to local debugging is having the Python scripts that are launched by NextFlow steps connect to a remote debugger process (“remote” but running on the same w…

That seems like a less-than-useful generalization. I know plenty of people who do mushrooms and yet labor away in cubicles to pay for their houses, in which they watch television.

This article may and should be the trigger for thousands of life-affirming resignations.

No, it is not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy_in_...

The video doesn’t really prove anything. Non-superconducting diamagnetic can’t freely levitate due to a fundamental instability; they will always fall out of levitation (unless the…

The film was fascinating, quite nuanced, and beautifully shot. It’s about people, their relationships, and the evolution of their worldviews much more than it was about a detonatio…

Pardon me for asking what sounds like an aggressive or leading question, I assure you it’s not: if you have to take a pill to get your work done, could it be that you’re doing the …

#vanlife at least aspires to some level of tidy and conscientious housekeeping. Motivational speaker Matt Foley doesn’t have a string of solar-powered faerie lights adorning his co…

That’s a really nice-looking product, and inspiring to those of us who’d like to create and sell our own creations.

Interesting point, and one that's difficult to dispute. Belief in the supernatural or divine is baked into human nature. There's significant research showing that human capacity fo…
