Actually, what I was asking about was how to handle my storage and later retrieval of hundreds of papers. I don't mean just the database tool -- I currently use Zotero and make sure articles are tagged -- but I'm wondering if I ca

As someone who is starting a master's in science and will be looking at lots of research papers, I've been wondering what the best use of this could be. If I have my own PDFs, I guess I could get ChatGPT to create summaries in som

That's what made me so confused about the framing of the article, because it seemed like it was going to go the other way. > Things you forgot because of React Ah, this is going to be a back-to-basics, here's how great vanill

I would assume that, as the developer of an agent, you could create those goals for them. But, to pre-empt an overly-philosophical reply, can I remind you that this isn't actually self-aware general artificial intelligence, and is mo

The fact that you can have a wonderful signature stamp, but the only way to get the image into the system is to hold an image up to your webcam is insane to me. I have a perfect png signature with transparency, but there's no way to

Huh, my reaction to The Magicians was "let's do Harry Potter where everyone swears a lot and are completely unlikable, and then throw Narnia in as well." It felt really derivative to me. For me, the best fantasy series of a

Yeah, I've never really night that explanation even with a dry brine. With a dry brine it's still going to draw water out to equilibrium. There's no real reason it would overshoot. Mixing with the salt and becoming a wet brin

1 atmosphere is still basically nothing, due to the incompressiblity of meat. The article goes into this. It mentioned that high-pressure machines reach 10,000 atmospheres. That's a lot more that 1. Rather, what that (comparatively)

Well, two things: First, a confounding variable doesn't work like that. It's a hidden variable that's linking that independent and dependent variables that you didn't account for. So, for instance, if you look at the cor

I'm not sure I see how one is easier than the other. In studies where they find that wine, say, causes cancer, they aren't looking at some molecular chain of events, they're simply doing a large (hopefully) study and looking

Indeed, it seems it would be hard to learn current coding standards without currently being in the industry. Could professors really keep themselves within ten years of current practices if they have a full time job as a professor and aren&

Serious question: what would incentive anyone to lend to people who have any risk at all (i.e. everyone)?

Seems like a bit of a trolly-problem: keep doing what you've always been doing, by tradition and contracts, and statically cause more deaths; or make a choice to change and save more lives overall, but some new deaths will be blamed

I use Obsidian for note-taking, but Evernote for my "digital shoebox" of receipts, PDFs, photos of wine labels, insurance statements, etc. They are all quickly findable through a combination of OCR and tags. Does anyone have a goo

Sure, but it doesn't matter whether they actually "care" about the environment, or just about selling cars, an electric car is still better for the environment. Now, if you keep buying new cars to keep up with the latest feat

Right, but when you look at a globe, you're actually seeing less than half of it, unless it is small enough or you are far enough. If you're closer, you can definitely see less land. The "perspective projection" is corre

Sure, but a human could write that too. Surely the onus is on the investor to assess how realistic they think the founders' claims are.

A general question about the benefits of teaching coding: For at least the past ten years, there's been a big emphasis on teaching coding to as many people as possible. I think a big part of that was the general assumption that, for ma
