    To be fair I omitted some key information. The 'dirty raw ingredient' mixed in room-temperature purified water wasn't sterilisable. The same process but mixed in 60°C purified wate…

    > Clues for future search of extremophile microbial life on Mars That paragraph is pretty extraordinary with what is being claimed. Crazy to think that anything could survive 25 kG…

    A great read from the author. It reminded me of my previous life as a bioprocess engineer, where I led investigations into biologically contaminated batches in biotech. It was fun …

    I’ve had a very similar experience to what has been described. A few additional elements from my experience: - Trust within the team meaning the required competence and delivering …

    Head tracking is not precise enough from my experimentation. ScrollPods provides a scrolling experience on par to that of a trackpad/mouse in my opinion. Also give horizontal scrol…

    Because of Spatial Audio. Give it a try, you will be positively surprised. Especially on scrolling via turning your head horizontally. On the problem you described I implemented a …

    Fair comment. It’s a macOS app that lets you scroll hands-free with your Apple headphones (AirPods Gen 3+, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max) by gently nodding your head up or down. You …

    Because your title mentions EC, I just learned it’s the EC that approves the market authorisation. I always thought it was the EMA but apparently this is “just” a recommendation an…

    Thank you! With the perception of maturity within HCI, there is a resistance to look at these fundamental building blocks. Instead, they are often taken as fact based on consensus,…

    Let me try again with a tl;dr. You can’t scroll in one window and type in another window at the exact same time. Your hand has to stop typing on the keyboard, move to the mouse and…

    Not sure how this closes the gap to Anthropic and OpenAI for xAI. Is there a play that I am overlooking? If this acquisition goes through the only winner here is Cursor, especially…

    Interesting read, especially as it relates to the product, I'm currently developing. My theories are twofold on this besides what the researchers mention. For digital content, coul…

    I'm not from the US but I would think something like this would go directly against the 1st amendment? Also in general if you're on the losing end of a "fair" vote I assume a decen…
