My old dentist made and sold these, but the oral appliance is a custom-fit mouthpiece that forces you to keep your lower jaw forward while you sleep, preventing airway collapse.

Form my own POV you’re correct. The market is good, salary offers I get are normal, everything I see looks like the pre-2020 market to me. A lot of these reddit CS subs are full of kids who are either still in college or graduated into the

Unconscious behaviors are often conserved across species and (lower level brain behaviors) in functionally and evolutionarily similar parts of the brain.

Your viewpoint is very American and very Protestant. A lot of these things you call changes I saw as a regular feature in the evangelical south in the early 00s. Going to “basic tenets” and doubling down on sola scriptura is just fundamenta

Those are evangelicals. It goes back to the problem of Protestantism’s sola scriptura philosophy, rejecting 1500 years of theological inquiry and study - something that didn’t happen with Orthodoxy or Catholicism.

It’s a common preprocessing step and I believe that’s how glaze (this lab’s previous work) was defeated.

This is the only real takeaway of the article. “I don’t like this because it’s new to me, therefore it’s universally bad.” I live in Boston and there was a similar freakout about the gas lamps in Beacon Hill being replaced by LEDs. Not a si

The article hadn’t been published (it says so in the article), she escaped retraction because it came up before it was published. In fact it reads as if it hadn’t even been submitted yet and was still being written.

For many labs, there are no resources, time, or ability to rerun every bit of data collection that happens. When I was in academia, our lab had a hard enough time recruiting participants (we were a cog neuro lab) and our experiments were se

I'm a bit late, but me and some friends I met over Reddit built a meme stock exchange in 2017. This was a game that would price meme stocks based on how much engagement some meme (or variants) were getting on social media in realtime.

Open source means just that - it doesn’t imply one sort of distribution mechanism over others.

They have this. Inpainting is just a subset of the image-to-image workflow and you don't have to provide a region if you want to do whole-image manipulation.

What was behind the decision to include just commuter rail and long-distance passenger rail, but not local rapid transit? Is it a resource issue drawing that many vehicles? I love this map, but I'd love to see it with more modes of tra

This is also a problem with IIRC the Acela and other Amtrak routes between Boston and New York, and probably on other routes too.

That’s not how Occam’s Razor works, though, as explained in your link.

The vast majority of work I’ve done at startups of all sizes has been greenfield. The key is not looking at projects as “getting” them, but as recognizing a need, sketching out something that fulfills those needs, and rallying buy-in for th

If only there was an existing way to refer to sports generally! And OP was referring to a specific sport (baseball), not sports generally.

Too early to tell. Might make less invasive neurostimulation therapies, may or may not make them more effective (not all neurons can grow back or grow back to where they are supposed to be).

If you're going to do your own typesetting and everything, markdown won't be powerful enough for what you want. LaTeX can do all this for you, or you can use something like Scrivener which is much more of a WYSIWYG tool. I've

Aspirin's ototoxicity has been known since at least the 60s, luckily it's reversible. When my advisor did animal studies, they used a similar NSAID (if I remember correctly, it's been a long time) to chemically deafen their a

My grad advisor spent the majority of his career developing and improving cochlear implants, and one of my labmates continues that work to this day (dude is brilliant too, MS in EE, PhD in cogneuro).

The paper doesn't even cover the intermediate neuronal stages in the brainstem, which are extremely important for localization and detecting of different features of sound - in fact several of those are well characterized in the brains
