Great overview. Slight shame it leaves out 'lapply' etc though (and says as much at the top). I just remember realising that you can have lists and run functions on them when I was learning R, and it seemed like a superpower.

There was a lot of work on microbiome and cancer immunotherapy... the latest study in the field published in the most prestigious journal there is [1] seemed to show that fibre intake was more important than any specific microbe. In fact th

This example is kind of cherry picked. Life science research has no geniuses. Although it is not possible to run the counterfactual, if Kariko quit then it is almost certainly the case that someone else would have discovered the same thing

Anyone know of a metamaterial actually being used in the real world?

I don’t find the same. Chrome seems to eat the battery a lot in my experience.

Yeah I also enjoy alcohol. I think it is a bit more complicated than you make out. The popularity for millenia is really when the only competing beverage was water, and even clean water was hard to get until recently. In recent times, soft

My theory: Alcoholic drinks have the basic problem that they are generally unpalatable to most people, especially the first time you try them. The alcohol industry has a high advertising to sales ratio [1], presumably because they always ne

I’m not gifted at all (well around here at least). When I was a kid my parents found a retired Russian maths professor to tutor me. In reality he was more like a mentor, he was the first ‘intellectual’ I had ever met. He spent time buildin

I see lots of people deriding LastPass... just wondering what exactly Bitwarden or 1Password do better? I find LastPass a bit clunky at times, and once or twice a year it won't actually save a password, but seems ok in general?

Hmmm... This is the same result basically. Weirdly, the OP paper doesn't cite this paper in Advanced Materials at all, although the OP paper was submitted 2 days before the Advanced Materials paper was published. Anyway, good to see it

Not sure about this. The productive people I have studied don’t do this. Instead they are very disciplined - in other words they train themselves and arrange their life so the mind is in the right mode at the right time.

The original article is unspeakably bad, a shameful incoherent diatribe from an apparently professional academic. Not least because it is bizarrely self-obsessed, the author cites her own research in a complete non sequitur and links to a l

Yeah consumer panels are routinely 18 - 20% efficiency now. But these are the ideal numbers. To be fair he doesn't derate the efficiency of PV as happens in the real world, so the degree to which 10% is an underestimate is mitigated. I

To be clear, I am not advocating for nuclear energy. I don't have a preference for one non-fossil fuel energy source over an other. It is good to see that off-shore wind is becoming much more viable. That slide deck repeats over and ov

I feel your last statement is imprecise and overly optimistic. It seems unusually difficult to find proper calculations about what a fully implemented low emissions strategy would look like for a particular country. The only example I have

Yeah, a cheap joint is usually paying cash without proper rates and benefits (the staff being complicit and not declaring income/violating visa work restrictions if not local). In these places the credit card machine is often ‘broken’

I see, so you wrote your own solution which you have to maintain and extend for each different citation style… pros and cons to that obviously. Why is it so important that a citation system works in 2003 and in 2021? Papers once published b

Interested to hear more about this, so how do you create citations and bibliographies? How do you format the bibliographies according to each journal’s style? It is true that there is no good tool for editing references collaboratively. Pre

My impression is that modern economics has no playbook for something like this, and with the undue influence economics has on high level geopolitics these days, it seems very unlikely to have legs.

It’s not exactly DIY but there are in theory ways to ‘encrypt’ your DNA before it gets sequenced. Something like amplifying/enzymatically modifying the DNA in a way that changes the sequence which you can undo computationally once you
