Excellent. Useful for being on a chromebook, offline and not logged in, so only opening local html files for tools is an option (no Chrome extensions). Will add file saving to my copy.

I made the following comment once before on a thread about a business card with a processor running Linux: In the late 1970s DigiKey was represented by a one-column ad in the back of Popular Electronics. A featured 7400-series chip with fou

A sort of natural prior is that when you close your eyes, it must be black, right? But it is not, as you observe. A sociologist who studied the spiritual cultures concluded there were many conformity-related behaviors at work. Oh, yea, I h

Years ago I realized I was the only person doing software (and original electronic hardware) in a group of 10 people; in addition the larger organization I saw was mostly mechanical engineers. I imagined the term "programmer in a corne

My intuitive response as I started to read this was a sort of "gentle-art" thought: Would it be helpful for someone to start their question: "I don't know if I should know this [already]..." ? If the answer is [in c

I always remember the term 'eidetic' and always think I am misremembering the correct term, but it is "eidetic imagery" I am searching for. To me this refers to the phenomenon of seeing above-threshold-of-perception patt

The British Psychological Society produced a report[1] in 2014 or so from the perspective that specific symptoms can be found in populations on a spectrum, and significant in terms of treatment is the question: Do these cause distress? Look

Yes, surely for established labs with a culture of competence, care, and conscience, which I am sure is the norm in your parts of the world. I suspect we are framing in terms of two different, almost non-intersecting kinds of institution. M

I assume not only physicists have the rule: never trust a scalar or statistic unless you can also see the distribution (histogram) behind it .

Agree that the freewrite looks a little massive compared to the OP's travel-oriented use-case here, and that getting a bluetooth keyboard paired to something is a great use of available items. There is alse a Logitech keyboard (Multide

I was working in a hospital when they discovered the blood lab was not prepared for the Joint Comission, and I saw the panic based on the scale of consequences you describe. My question refers to blinded testing meaning the lab in ques

Great question. One thing to imagine might be a pain or cost curve that has multiple minima and maxima. Pain can be either a demotivator or motivator in different contexts. Pain qua fatique might indicate that a reward slope exists for more

Not precisely on topic, but two professors at U.C. Berkely are involved in helping people identify edible plants in urban settings, particularly Oakland. This excellent piece makes mention of a phone app they are using in conjunction. http

Not an epidemiologist, but prior to Covid I have never seen a professional risk-benefit discussion around screening tests, which did not give serious weight to the various costs of false positives. Patient anxiety. Rounds of invasive biop

Off-topic, but there could come a day when it is safer as a regular patient to be operated upon in a makeshift tent. A doctor with Doctors Without Borders once said in an interview that with field tents, they did not have problems with the

I would like to see QC statistics from some of the large test-processing centers which have IIRC been established. Surely they send a blind fraction of known-negative or control samples through, to get good statistics on false-positive ra

To a less-frequent degree than with 'cases' the meaning of 'gold-standard' seems to have changed as well, or be starting to. As I understand it, a proper gold-standard test is proven to have essentially 100% correlatio

Also an armchair quarterback, but yes, to me one of the great mentionable intellectual/ecological "crimes" is the non-updateability of billions of phones. We don't have infinite retries at using physical resources on the

Not sure, but IIRC the last I saw from Moltex Energy also had some mention of intermediate heat storage, for similar reasons.

(To the OP title: More expensive than disaster?) Many comments here relate more to one-off design. There is also the medium-high-volume manufacturing end. There, a prototype run might be in the dozens or hundreds of units, more than the ent
