I looked briefly, but is anyone aware of the differences between Yew[1] and Sycamore[2]? Presumably they are both Elm-influenced(?) Rust web UI libraries named after trees, but it'…

Rendezvous with Rama was one of my favorites as a teenager, hopefully the film adaptation does it justice.

People are often boring in conversation. Therefore, an AI agent doesn't need to be interesting to seem human enough in a Turing test.

It's disappointing to see the myth of the "Christian Dark Ages" still repeated so often. It's true that the collapse of the Western Roman Empire led to a regression in social order…

At the risk of sounding like a hater, I feel like the AI art doesn't add much to this listicle

There were many attention grabbing things (Cold War escalation, civil unrest, etc.) in the world when Feynman wrote those papers. I can't find the exact clip, but I remember seeing…

This is neat! I was wondering if someone would make something cool like this. As someone who knows nothing about sentiment analysis / NLP, what do the units on the x-axis mean? Num…

There could be epigenetic or environmental factors to blame for a disease. But even so, assuming this is a genetic issue, proposing gene therapy in this case is putting the cart be…

I feel like a lot of people in this thread are missing the point of the potatoes with no salt or oil. The entire idea is that this diet is incredibly boring and will make a well-ba…

Based on the article, we don't even fully understand the mechanism behind the disease. Hard to do gene therapy when you aren't sure what genes are to blame.

I guess I'm a member of this "No-Code" generation? My friends and I were playing Minecraft when we were 12 years old, and we're entering the workforce now. I share the skepticism f…

This is really cool and will probably fill the void that Firefox Send left for me. Out of curiosity, how do you deal with all that bandwidth? Are you self-hosted?

For the example of H(X) where X ~ Geom(p), shouldn't the second term be multiplied by (k-1) after breaking up the logarithm? That is, shouldn't pq^(k-1)log(q) be (k-1)pq^(k-1)log(q…
