An aside - was the F-19 basically a popular fiction based on sightings by the public of the YF-22 and YF-23 prototypes? Or did something like this really exist?

I'm kind of wondering - at the beginning of the war, the IJN seemed to be on the upper hand with technical innovations, at least at the tactical level, and training. Why did it not keep pace with the tech development vs. the allies?

I was one of the ones that didn't play the political game right (choosing mentors, proper faculty appts etc) so my grant got tossed aside (triaged). Then the choice is to either do another 5 years as essentially a post-doc while th

Of note, the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in LA (near LACMA) has a very well done exhibit on Hayao Miyazaki, including copious sketches, story boards, concept art...well worth going. It's up until June 5.

The problem with this is that the MBA programs that churn out hospital administrators tend not to be very good...focus on mergers, cost cutting, not so much on optimizing care. The pendulum has swung too much onto the MBA for MBA's s

Granted, there's a niche for cash pay docs. Example being psychiatry - it's extremely hard to find a psychiatrist who takes insurance, even Medicare. The good ones are all cash pay...

versus ubuntu where the kernel may be fine, but it's certainly nontrivial to bork some random config file or the nvidia/xwin/wayland configuration setup or some other part of the app layer on top of it, and rather than spend

it sort of reminds me of an interview someone did w/ a farmer's market vendor of gourmet jams/jellies....when they had a spread of 29-30 jams, no one bought any because it was too intimidating/confusion/bred indecis

looking at the SourceForge forums, it looks like the 7zip author still doesn't know where the security breach is coming from, but the security researcher doesn't seem forthcoming in pointing it out to him...

TBH I think MacOS has been optimized for trackpad for so long, it's almost required. Swapping my logitech g400 for the Magic Trackpad was pretty mindblowing

I kind of wonder - these are probably not very experienced neurologists....which if she went to research-heavy academic centers like MGH, it is not uncommon. They spend most of their time writing grants or studying rats in the lab. They k

seizure auras are (at least stereotypically) a foul burning/rubbery smell, i.e. dysosmia, and is fairly acute in time course... vs. gradual loss of smell sensation would suggest some neurodegenerative process. Of which one could argue

that's sad...it would be the perfect vehicle from a form factor standpoint to do this. Would that they could just spend the extra production bux to put extra rustproofing and drain holes in it for this...

Of interest....anosmia is a known prodromal risk factor for Parkinson's disease...whether the similarities are coincidental for 2 different types of brain damage or note remains to be seen I guess.

Honestly, this was just my gut and I've felt prices were artificially low for the past decade or so - maybe because of globalization and offshore manufacturing, and things are really just catching up to what they're actually worth

Ueli, the senior author on the paper, is a good guy. A lot of interesting pubs/software on his site(s). Good matlab packages if you are analyzing single unit neuron recordings! (Albeit in matlab…) I think the gist of this is that

Aesthetic benefits, perceived at least, are worth $200 to some people...and that black thing looked cool. Especially SWEs who work in products w/ zero marginal costs shouldn't complain about market value of a product vs. BOM costs

I remember Siracusa saying something on ATP about it's how they're transitioning the driver model in OS X/iOS away from kernel extensions or something, apparently the benefit is more robust drivers in the future but there are

presumably, a lot of technical info has been coming out of Apple (and hopefully like minded companies) re vetting of chips, mobo, OS-built security, T2 chip encryption etc. Vs. the modular stuff - I'd be more confident if security was

I feel like this is science research in general - it's a battle for money, and only a few groups really manage great research vs. doing the whole grant application shuffle. What do you think about the few groups actually doing electrod

I'm of mixed minds...my PC is useful for certain things. But my Apple laptops w/ iGPU's did not require as much hardware debugging, sketchy firmware downloads/updates, less fans to clean, large PSUs that blew and had to

that's kind of my beef w/ the 3000 series gpu's in general. Yeah, they're fast and all. But at significantly more TDP and with default coolers larger (> 300 mm) that can fit into my (previously perfectly fine "f

What would be interesting in the far future is if, say, Zen 4 (or 5+) and M2(+) claims some of Intel's new foundry capacity...the comparisons would be very interesting...
