This is the most insightful comment on this subject I've read yet. I hadn't put those pieces together.

I also learned this term pretty recently, loved it. Another fav tech term is automagically :-)

I thought mine was when claude found a very subtle but important bug in some open source LBM code I was using. It ground at it for hours and didn't give up until it found it. (Back when claude was cheap!). I recently had a my ACTUAL mo

I had this exact problem and came to the same conclusion. But for the exam, give them code and ask what it does, or give broken code and ask where the error is. Waaay less marking. I only asked for 3 small functions written by hand and t

This is probably not a helpful comment because it's basically a daydreamers fantasy, but here goes... Doesn't all the surveillance concern go away if we just remove license plates from cars? Our plates identify us nearly perfectly

"Capitalism tries to deliver the worst possible version for the highest possible price" This is brilliant. So much information packed into one sentence.

We should start with a sustainable colony _on_ earth as a proof of concept. :-)

I think the question is "why do sites put up cookie banners when the only option is Accept?" Gdpr requires an option to opt out, so who are they try to appease here? I sometimes think they do it because people have come expect th

This looks really promising, thank you! I have been using chemicals for things like this but it is not good at multiple conditions so your approach will teally help me. Btw, there is no link to the repo on the docs psge, st least on my ph

So true. I once saw a gardener removing weeds from a moss patch with tweezers. Very meticulous.

You'd get my vote! These boulevard signs are totally out of control. They are technically against bylaws in my town, but nobody enforces it. Two anecdotes about how insane these are: 1. I saw one last week advertising a halloween pa

Easy solution: just don't change your name! Our boys have my last name and our girls (if we'd had any) would have had my wife's last name. We didn't have girls so I don't have data on how that would've worked

It's cute that everyone seems to think this about their own jobs.

Yes, about half is skimmed off the top by the university, called 'overhead'. This is used to fund everything, from research-essential things like paying for heat and maintaining buildings, to less obvious but still research-essen

This is a very important comment. And to flip the perspective, name recognition in our given fields is not just a vanity metric for getting more funding. It is earned by publishing quality work. I can trust people I know who do things corre

Im reading Sapiens at the moment and one statement really got my attention: human society is a marvel, but individually we are embarrassingly similar to Chimps. This mental model really helps put put so much behavior into context, like res

At least he showed up! That is what we call an A for effort.

If this person is so good with statistics, maybe than can compute the number of hours of other people's time they wasted so they could save themselves a few hours of research into best schools. Context: My time has been so oversubscrib

I sometimes wonder if the problem is at least partly because people don't think someone should get paid to have fun. Musicians, artists, writers, etc are basically asking to be paid to pursue their hobbies full time, and 9-5 office wo

I was confused by the article title...the word "some" didn't make sense. Then I finally got the joke. So apparently, I am so used to article titles being fully confident that I subconsciously felt this one was off.

Quarto! The lead dev of quarto dog fooded it to write his own book on data science in R.

Maybe the point is that taking advice from ANY single person is a bad idea since thay are making conclusions from a sample size of 1, while a "scientist" is telling you things that are statistically more likely to help you?

So this! Office is literally the only thing keeping me on windows at this point. And its not as simple as "just use X". There is a lot friction keeping me from switching, a main one being that all my colleagues and collaborator

I recently read an HN post where a LOT of people reported having the same rather specific dream that I have had many times (about being enrolled in a class they forgot about only to remember on the day of the final exam). It literally rocke
