I guess it depends. While doing my PhD at a top German research university, our chair advised multiple of these projects, too (e.g., BMW, Siemens, Audi). Yes - the downsides you me…

a) No. b) It depends. I know the German system quite well and know people who did their PhD in industry, people who did their PhD in an externally funded research project, and peop…

The website gives a very nice and captivating intro to the device. But why do you spell MIDI in lowercase there? > plugs into your piano via midi

There are quite a few people who own a 3D printer but not a laser cutter. And not everyone can or wants to use an external service.

tl;dr: Use this if you don't like doing science or doing things well. It hallucinates references. Seems to be based on https://github.com/swaruplab/operon as evidenced by the autho…

Ah thanks - I couldn't remember the original version. For reference: it's called Kernighan's Law, and can be found in the Second Edition of "The Elements of Programming Style", pag…

> It's been really frustrating that neither Codex nor Opus can make targetted edits to Fable's code without screwing something subtle up. Reminds me of the old adage: don't try to …

Oh my gosh - that article sounds like the winning entry to a 'write like an LLM' contest. So over-the-top that I first thought it was satire. If the author indeed wrote that all by…

I'm not sure whether the Guardian article mentioned this or another one I read: the road segment in question seems to be in the old town which makes it difficult to find an archite…

As the article says: this is not a general speed limit but an experimental speed limit for an apparently very crowded area where many kids cycle to school. As someone whose 'normal…

Hmm, assuming that the AI bubble might pop a little bit after the upcoming IPOs, maybe it's better not to call yourself an AI company then?

Addendum: > "Cast iron and carbon steel have nearly identical thermal conductivity (~52 W/m·K), which surprises most people." is unsourced. And the precise "~52" is quite misleadin…

FWIW, the author writes: > " Ovalbumin coagulates irreversibly at 80°C (Weijers et al., 2003), permanently setting the foam structure." , and the paper by Weijers et al. says: > "A…

A smart approach that does not solve the AI problem - actually flipped classrooms work worse now due to AI usage. My own experience with flipped classrooms (which seems to be share…

Never heard of Flux.ai before. It seems to be a 3D circuit designer with 'AI'. Not sure what the issue between them and Adafruit is. However, people over on Reddit¹ claim that Flux…

I think the parent commenter agrees with you: because there is tight quality assurance and - in many countries - a license needed to practice medicine, the interviewer can just tru…

I absolutely agree. There were no other comments on this post when I wrote my comment. Thus, I wanted to encourage the author and provide some constructive feedback in case nobody …

Fair point. I was initially thinking about rainbow tables. Taking a hash and looking up associated passwords in a table feels like deriving to me - but I'm not a native speaker so …

There are actually a few recent books on the topic (no clue about their quality but reviews look positive): Netmux (2019): Hash Crack: Password Cracking Manual¹ James Leyte-Vidal (…

A few small things. You might call this nitpicking. And, as I wrote, I found the technical details generally accurate. > "Then there is also the fact that having a fully-fledged gr…

Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting. Impressive achievement. This book is currently not really relevant for me, so I just skimmed the samples on Amazon. I found the technica…

Oh - it didn't occur to me that the original poster might have thought about three different circuits - one with a voltmeter, one with an amperemeter, and one driving the light bul…

I think I don't completely understand your idea. The current flowing through the amperemeter¹ depends on the voltage and the resistance of the incandescent(?) lamp. To vary current…

Interesting and well written article that mirrors/foreshadows how LLMs do and will change other scenes. As I don't know much about the CTF scene, I looked for other takes on this t…
