I mean I guess that's the pitch - lots of stuff not yet demonstrated though

No worries, keen to try out your approach.

Always cool to see stuff from your niche field on hn. Note: this measurement is done at cryogenic temperatures, although somewhat similar molecular spin work (from ~same group [1]) works at ambient. [1]: https://doi.org/10.1

I'm slightly confused. From your comment I expected an AI chat tool, but solveit appears to be more a class?

Yeah I understand all the flashy bits in kitty, but do you need GPU levels of speed? `foot` is much faster than my typing/brain in all cases.

> 'their own issues not unlike the US' I find this kind of opinion hard to understand. The difference is incredibly high contrast to me.

Does anyone get anything out of these GPU accelerated terminals? I am at a bit of a loss for a use-case where my CPU isn't fast enough to keep up. What I do care about is my bitmap font, which all these new terms don't seem to

Sure, but COMSOL does a lot of work for you you couldn't achieve otherwise - I find it hard to see glorified irc (slack) as ever being worth $200k a year!!!

The MNT SoC (etc) drivers are still not up upstreamed, so think you're stuck on debian for a while

At that(/what) point does it become harder for a human to grok a project?

I think you're referring to the TTFP (time to first plot) issue (the package manager is top notch). TTFP has been drastically improved with a bunch of optimisations, and then you can pre-compile your project to keep it fast e.g. betwee

Top journals have good research in them, they cannot be bought like that. The downside is that they get caught in the hype, and only publish articles likely to be more glossy. The way to clean garbage from gems is to spend half a decade plu

If the return isn't there for career scientists, and it takes them 4-6hrs to read a paper properly, then can non-specialists really get much out of the process?

I can vouch, I'm in a heavily particle/astro dominated dept and AMO is looked down upon.

One and the same, economic growth has lead us here & economic growth has been highly tied to population growth.

Apologies but this is such a hilarious Americanism: "If it's not ethnic it's German"

So sick of CPUs in Linux distros, the feature creep is insane!

They are! And they receive fewer funds in my neck of the woods.

I get that. Perhaps things are different in different countries, but where I am materials science/eng is drastically underfunded for this reason. My comment was worded strongly, I meant more that funding could come from different strea

Fair enough. The point of my comment was the incentives are set up in 'science' to research fundamentals (I don't think there are many interesting fundamentals in degradation, but I may be wrong). I am arguing there should be

There is no agreed upon definition of science or the scientific method. I'm sure we could agree upon a demarcation between scientist and engineer, though, and I was drawing that distinction in a way I think we can all intuit.

by casparvitch 3y ago
I disagree that science has the wrong incentives. The place for science is to chase new (e.g.) physics, not build something useful. As a society we have decided that (e.g.) physics should/shall solve our problems with better technology

Pluto is the best notebook system I've used, and development is very rapid so it's getting better all the time.

Have you found any patterns to the people in these two groups? I find that older (50+) people are far more likely to get upset with my interruptions.
