   This looks interesting, but one potential problem with this method is that you start treating the number of notes or the size of the graph as a success metric. The author even notes how it is 'pleasing' to see their note graph gro

   There is a lot of cool stuff happening in nano materials science I think. It doesn't quite get the mindshare it deserves.

   University seems to just be about self-edification, but it is sometimes not about that at all, and always about a whole lot more. It is clear there are too many people going to University. It has become a status symbol, driven partly by the

   As an Australian, I'm a little surprised, but also very glad, that Australia is able to do consistently world-leading quantum computing research. It is interesting to think about why this is. Looking into it further, there is a governm

    I recall Zoox dumped their CEO founder quite suddenly, this announcement reminded to look up the story. Food for thought re founders and controlling stakes in startups. https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/why

    Interestingly he says one of the great attractions of podcasts is that you don’t really have to pay attention. It’s like sitting in front of two interesting people on a plane. Most modern media is too stimulating. Massive budget 3 hour long

    Beloved? The first time I used the ‘old’ pubmed 15 years ago I remember thinking it really, really sucked. The weird drop down export options, clunky irrelevant filters on the main page but having to click through multiple pages just to app

    Does anyone have an example of a book they love that was turned into a movie or TV series that they also loved? I find it is generally not the case. A Clockwork Orange... the movie was OK, but the book was much much more enjoyable IMHO. Lor

    I have never had luck with sous vide vegetables. The high temperatures required also raise concerns about the stability of the plastic bags.

    Hmm. Well the epigenetic aging clock effects are hard to interpret, but they also show recovery of cognitive performance in aged rats treated with their magic plasma fraction. That is kind of exciting. Nevertheless, there are significant co

    Not saying that it is in any way practical or useful in the real world, but I think there are approaches which are more geared towards what we might understand as 'emulating' rather than modelling an effect. It seems that emulator

    It will be impossible to get an extra 10 billion dollars invested into science without a project like this. In other words probably 10% or less of that money would end up going into other fields of research. Considering all the other things

    Thanks for the response, I do have some questions. How do you decide what constitutes 'many' people? Is vimeo deserving of similar scrutiny or doesn't it reach enough people? What about the video site someone started yesterda

    I don’t understand the free speech arguments here. Youtube is an advertising platform. They can do what they want with their platform. If I own a billboard, and someone wants to advertise their bags for dead kittens, I can say no. There nee
