Do we really need a $200M study? It seems like the literature is already pretty clear. https://demo.studyrecon.ai/search.html?id=214&preview=true# This example stands out: Eat a ba…

I wouldn't trust any powdered turmeric. Especially in the quantities people are consuming it these days. Buy it fresh and grind it yourself. It tastes better that way anyway.

I've seen a scientific researcher do literature review manually. Search, refine, print, read, highlight, collate. Lots of time can be saved by automating those steps (and many rese…

It's actually possible to use LLMs to assist literature reviews. We built a product that works smashingly. The key is to keyword extract, use a vector database and do search based …

I founded a company working to help companies use AI to organize their private knowledge. We have focused on semantic search and knowledge graphs, but we started integrating a chat…

Wasn't that the previous wave of remote work? And didn't it end badly for IT and software engineering? I'm currently cleaning up a mess left by some well-meaning but unskilled and …

They'd act like a solar sail. Putting them in L1 would not keep them positioned. It would be possible to design an orbital scheme that would keep them in place, but it wouldn't be …

The word "neglect" as it is used creates an incorrect framing. But is actually a great word. The whole problem with Nuclear in the US is that we neglect the projects. Our plan arou…

Can someone tl;dr? Not that the paper is too long, but I think I'd need to go back to university and major in biology or statistics to understand what they discovered and more impo…

I also find this unreadable but for a different reason. I'm on mobile and it's rendering unreadably small. On the one hand maybe I should put more time into my setup. On the other …

This in no way matches my experience. My best employee is in his fifties. He has more experience and knowledge than the next three people put together. We call him in for difficult…

Go look at a Tesla. The Brakes are the same as any other car. Regenerative braking kicks in first so you use it less, but it is all still there. It is exactly the same as a gas car…

Thank you for posting that. I've never read this story before and I love it. It so perfectly captures the tension of gender and turns a common critique of gender transition on its …

I've seen it personally. Totally brazen, no attempt to hide it. Two teenage girls, one had clearly done it before, the other had not and was nervous. They just openly loaded up the…

Are you seriously recommending that people disable security updates as though that somehow makes anything better?

Accepted how? Nobody is cheering. Nobody is making value judgements one way (this was good) or another (this was bad). We talk about breaches and password dumps here all the time. …

Hashed passwords. Not encrypted. Encryption is reversible. Turning the hashed passwords into plaintext requires hash cracking.

Part of it probably has to do with his hatred of short sellers. People who short sell have a vested interest in seeing the stock they've shorted drop. They tend to make their opini…

Just so ya know, inciting violence is not protected speech.

That works until your colo provider tells you to take a walk. Your landlord evicts you from warehouse where you host your backup datacenter space, your ISP cuts you off. It's almos…

Yeah but that usually means switching from AWS to GCP not, build a data center from scratch oh and by the way nobody from electricians to truckers will work with you because your p…

Huh, it's almost like no provider in America is cool with your platform being used to plan an insurrection. Or open calls for violence against and murder of elected officials.

They had months of warning from AWS too. "Hey guys, content calling for violence is violation of our TOS, you should make a plan to keep that off your platform", yeah yeah whatever…

What else should we be using?
