The technology is cool, and I can see the flexible displays being used for putting displays on oddly shaped surfaces, and for other applications where you have somewhere a screen can roll into. But the concept video feels like an April fool

There were many different things, at different stages of my education and career. But I think the hardest was the very first threshold I had to cross, when I first started taking legitimate CS courses. It had more to do with just the sheer

Personally, I think the most growth I had in software engineering was when I had my code reviewed by others, and I participated in reviews of other's code. You learn a lot from other people by looking through their code, and you learn

As someone who worked on RTOS systems and now works on autonomy. These things frighten me everyday. What frightens me even more, is the people who work on autonomy without a real grasp on determinism. It's unfortunate that the people w

Board games are a good one. I recently started picking them up again after not playing since childhood. You get to socialize, get a varying level of mental strategy in there, and it's fun. Depending on how tired or what mood you are in

For me, it leaves a lingering effect on my short term memory and mental performance, that sometimes bleeds into the next day. Long after the high wears off, I sometimes consciously can tell "wow, I am really mentally underperforming to

Personally from experience, the prestige comes with network and the network is where it's at. The connections you have definitely grease the upward escalator.

This is fair. I'm saying all higher education, so if upending your life doesn't work for you, you could choose a local school or community college. Also the regular admissions system would be in place, so higher achievers would st

100% agree, and not the point i'm making. I'm saying it will increase the average level of individual thinking, but not saying that it's a requirement. I'm simply saying those people that forgo schooling because it'

I agree. Yes, it will cost a lot and yes we need to find a way to fund it, but giving all communities fair access to education is in everyone's best interest. Increasing the base level of education makes everyone a more intelligent, in

hmm...It sounds like a very challenging problem to solve with the "passive" approaches you have tried, and others have suggested. I think maybe moving onto an "active" strategy might be the way to go. You can easily devi

I bought a Canon camera battery grip for my Canon 7D DSLR. Normally I buy these kinds of things directly from amazon or other notable sellers to avoid getting scammed, but they were sold out and I had a trip coming up. So I order from what

Alcohol: Maybe once a week. Never more than a drink or two. Caffeine: Sometimes espresso in the morning. Not regularly. I think a juice or a smoothie does a better job of waking me up in the morning. I used to drink a lot more coffee... but

high-res maps help localize the vehicle. All of the sensors on the car (cameras, GPS, radar, lidar, sonar) all have some degree of error, and have their own respective strengths and weaknesses. In order to know where the car is located at a

This seems like it would quickly devolve into health hazard without constant maintenance. Idk, at this point, it seems like it would be a headache just to have this running smoothly. It's cool and all and yeah maybe robots will make ou

It's the same thing as saying "reverse racism". Intelligence is all the same, irrelevant of where it comes from or who has it. It's just another example of humans elevating themselves above the, so far, non-sentient, int

So I agree with everyone who says if you are having an issue, or a struggle, you should see a mental health professional. First and foremost, get the help you need to get your life stable. But as a secondary aside, there has been an awful l

There are a lot of startups popping up these days that are designing IC's for low powered, high speed, neural net processing. Lots of different approaches they are taking. However, many of them are still in stealth, but try scouring ch

I agree that they are moving, but they seem to be innovating without focusing on the user. It's like a bunch of enginerds working on cool projects that they are coming up with. Yeah they might be cool, but will people buy/use them

I'm just curious, what "courageous" changes would you like to see in macOS? Last time I saw a courageous desktop OS change, it was Windows merging their Mobile and desktop OS, and that was a hard fail. It's a workstation

My understanding is the cyclic fasting causes a fat storage response in the body to prepare for periods of low caloric intake. Personally, my brain, emotions, attention, all shuts down when I'm hungry. I bet I could get used to it, but

I think there are two sides to this. Either ignore it, or embrace it and accept it as part of the human experience. If you accept that suffering is inevitable, you recognize the positives in life more readily. To me, this approach allows me
