Doesn't matter if that person can't convince the bean counters and lawyers that it is in the company's long-term interest to release the "proprietary" data.

I think that from a research/academic view of the landscape, building off a mutable API is much less preferred than building of a set of open weights. It would be even better if we had the training data, along with all code and open we

Regarding inflexibility of monitor placement, what are you using as the interface application? Virtual Desktop Streamer let's you move monitors basically anywhere that you want them.

Only 6 of the children were conceived naturally. The rest were from sperm donations. Interesting that he claims that there isn't a difference for him though in how he views his offspring.

Very helpful Simon! I have definitely been hesitant to spin up any agents even in sandboxes that have access to potentially destructive tools, but this guiding principle does ease my concerns a bit.

I agree with you, the problem currently is that the balance of power has shifted so far in favor of the 0.1%. And those people will not want to give up the power that they already have. I fear for a future where the technocrats win out and

VSCode and RStudio Desktop both have visual editor components, although they are not perfect. Positron is another editor that is data science specific built on top of VSCode that has Quarto rendering support. There isn't an 'on-th

Look at Quarto. Markdown input, basically any output you want, including HTML, PDF, DOCX, PPTX, etc... All from the same input. Reuse text chunks, use variables, templates, and more. Then just run 'quarto render'.

Quarto is probably what you're looking for. It's what we've been using for scientific publications in gov science research labs the past couple of years. Can output to LaTeX and incorporate templates and such.

Maybe look at Quarto? Almost every project I start now begins with `quarto project create`. From there I can pivot the material into HTML, .docx, PDF, .PPTX, Typst, LaTeX, and all of them simultaneously.

I would suggest trying the Continue.dev VSCode plugin for selective context injection. The plugin is Apache 2.0 licensed, and you can hook it up to any LLM API including local. It has most of the same features as GitHub Copilot, but a few e

I have been happily using Gel (formerly EdgeDB) for a few projects. I'm curious what you think it is missing in regards to hitting the "graph spot"?

The fraud perpetrated by an individual which misled the field as whole is not the same as 'fraud in government funding'. Again, scientists are human and will do things for personal gain. There are mechanisms being implemented in s

Please provide evidence of fraud in government funding. I have yet to see any real evidence of fraud from the DOGE reports, just contracts and projects that don't align with the current administration's world view and priorities.

It sounds to me like you might not understand the highly interconnected pipeline of scientific research. Additionally, this is much more than just a "funding cut". https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01

Honestly, yes. To sway public opinion, you have to meet your audience where they get their information. I know that my mother gets most of her news from TikTok unfortunately. Reaching out to the public through as many avenues as possible is

Counterpoint, please consider watching Professor Dave discuss the issues with Sabine's talking points. While there are certainly problems within science, Sabine has the most nihilistic view of the field. https://youtu.be&#x2

Yes, there is a LOT of evidence of this allegiance, although maybe just observing Trump's unwillingness to openly criticize Russia and Putin is highly suspect by itself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_betwee
