I'm not sure I understand this. Isn't web3 mostly just the use of decentralized systems? You don't need crypto for that. If your answer is incentive, I'm not so sure you need that either. For example, if you want to sto

A big problem right now in biology is the framing of these fundamentals in education. We know some things, but they're typically presented fairly piecewise in higher education. One example of the fragmentation: You're in an onc

Does anyone know how to get in touch with media outlets to run these stories? I can't help but notice how some of the issues brought up by John Oliver made decent progress after they ran an episode on it. They have an episode on lead,

Unfortunately, even if a company offered this, in today's world the product would likely have a hidden microphone that isn't listed on the featured hardware. Much like the old physical typewriters had spyware hidden on them with

I thought it was so the site has longer to mine monero using your CPU while you scroll? Ever notice how incredibly slow any device gets when looking at recipes?

What is a common query? facebook.com? Some very impressive search capabilities needed for that query there.

The Stanford lecture by Robert Channing for one of the first courses in chemical engineering (ChE 101?) on youtube is fun for this. He goes through how many of the units are defined and how it has had an effect on various projects throughou

It's especially true for ML in general on HN, but it's generally true for a lot of areas in the public - people often mistake skepticism for expertise or knowledge. I think the phenomenon is similar to the large crowd that crie

That should continue to increase. Hopefully it will be academic misconduct to not release code - but also further, it should be misconduct for the code not to be able to reproduce the paper's output with a one line command.

I wonder how large the democratic deficit would be if the response from any given representative across the country read something a little more like this: "We [insert office] are excited by your interest and have taken your stance int

Put `set -o vi` in your .bashrc That's all you need - you don't need a whole program that collects all of your information.

Doesn't `set -o vi` do this for you? Place it in .bashrc and you're good to go. It's great to use this with awesomewm for windows management, and vimium for browser control. Then you can develop in vim, bash in vim, browse in

What kind of performance can you get with micrograd? It looks to be a few python files (and no external library calls?), so I imagine it's insanely slow . At least with tensirflow/pytorch there are some calls to C in the dependen

What I mean is just the general statement that can be applied to any company or server. Even if they release all of their code as free and open source (not entirely true, as I understand it - their public servers that handle connecting your

Instead of storing both pdf and source text, just store the source. The pdf is generated on demand, in whatever style you like. Although, I had no idea PDFs were smaller than the input. I thought that they were substantially larger actuall

The "train models" or ML portion is what I'm disappointed with unfortunately. I make ML models to predict things from genetic information somewhat regularly, but we all are aware of the enormous issues with that. I am more

Yeah it's safe. The biggest problem SQLite has is it's size limitations. It can only hold ~281 TB in a database unfortunately. If you need more storage than that - that's the only reason I could endorse someone using a differ

Despite how ugly xslt may look, and how little it's used, I think it actually solved a problem in parsing xml on streams (xslt 3.0 I think?) in a way that really isn't that simple (or used often) in any standard languages. I hav

What research have you seen on modeling gene expression? I'm genuinely curious, as I haven't really seen many convincing ab initio studies towards this. I could see finding certain features like this spacing as predictive of per

One thing I would love to see from the arxiv sites is a publicly available download of an SQLite database . They have a bunch of PDFs, and latex source - but the real killer would be a database with just the text for each section, and then

Docker containers don't work for most self hosted solutions, since most self hosted OSes are security focused, and use FreeBSD, instead of Linux, in order to get away from some security vulnerabilities. Docker is a pretty large securi

Docker is not a good solution. Many security focused systems (important for self-hosting) are on FreeBSD. FreeBSD doesn't allow docker, because of it's major security vulnerabilities. Docker is great for getting toy projects to w

You should probably use headscale instead of you care about self hosting. If you don't trust Google drive with your passwords, why would you trust a company's server that manages access to all of your devices?

*headscale If you care about privacy or self hosting, use headscale instead. You have no idea what tailscale is really doing.
