You can do this with text too (like in spreadsheets, code, etc) to find differences visually.

The Venn diagram for psychedelics include escapism, but it includes a lot more as well. Psychedelics can be a powerful tool, and for all the good that they can bring you, they can …

One thing that seems to work well for me is to push myself into thinking highly random thoughts. I imagine some kind of boring scene from life. Then I change it up, add content, ma…

Now if someone would write an app that checks if your licensed code can be found with Copilot, we would go full circle. It could actually be useful to see if your code is used with…

I can confirm this as well, discovered in a similar way. For me I notice objects start to fade into grey in the periphery. Another cool thing is that blinking seems to reset it for…

{name}{confirmation}{request} is basically a hidden render loop. If you had something like const inputs = [name, confirmation, request] and rendered that via inputs.map() (or just …

If you render the inputs via a list, like const inputs = isBob ? [name, confirmation, request] : [name, request] then it complains that there's no key prop and the issue persists. …

You can probably tokenize the names so they become irrelevant. You can ignore non-functional whitespace, so that code C remains. Maybe one can hash all the training data D such tha…

Reminds me of the bridge story in Margin Call [1]. Or if you'd rather read it, here's the script [2], just search for "Did you know I built a bridge once?". Or condensed: "It went …

Call me cynical, but I feel like the 4 day work week will be forgotten when it comes to reviews.

If you're looking at the money, yes. But how much is the potential happiness and stress reduction worth? 5%? 10%? 20%?

Woah this is really cool and an awesome point of view. Collapsing along the x-axis is just a projection along the vector [1, 0, 0] onto the the y-z plane defined by it and the orig…

I'm sure you've seen this elsewhere in the comments, but multiply two polynomials to see a discrete convolution in action! Here your functions would be discrete.

I can confirm. I've mostly been working from my bed during these Covid times, and once I started going to the gym I was astonished by just how weak my back was, as opposed to my up…

Can confirm the same for me!

I'm a dancer as well and this is spot on. Thanks for putting it into words! Even if you do it competitively, though, the analogy still holds. But then it becomes both that and a sp…

Since it's done by stacking 30-45 min exposures, it would be sharp. All you have to do is align the images well.

You can pretty much make a telescope as large as you'd like, depending on your technological level. Hypothetically, you can use gravitational lensing to make a telescope via the su…

Hubble points via gyroscopes, not thrusters! But they are slow, so that's part of why you need to schedule things well. YouTube video explaining how it points: https://www.youtube.…

Some galaxies have stars in the trillions. Even the Milky way is at something like quarter of a trillion. It's mind-boggling.

Just a nitpick: Hubble is at a much higher altitude than Starlink and as such would never be interfered with.

This leads to a very interesting conclusion - small gains in male attractiveness leads to a much larger perceived gain in their attractiveness. It basically means men have a LOT to…

From what I've seen and heard from my friends, women tend to select for lean-ness. Smaller guy with six pack is usually more attractive to them than a big guy with six pack. And it…

I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but I still think it's not the right point of view. A lot of the compatibility in a long term relationship stems from shared values, experiences, in…

It really is like that. The less effort you put in with every choice in a relationship, the more work you'll end up having to do to save it later on. Every choice is a potential in…
