Taxes are different in France and in Spain, and all the prices in every place will show you the price of what you're doing, tax-included. One can move freely between the countries, use the same currency, and settle down in either place

Thank you! I'll take a better look at the whole thing now. It seems like that journal works with a focus on empirical data but empirical doesn't necessarily mean robust statistical methods, however the paper seems to be actually s

I couldn't find the actual paper with this press release, even when searching on the website itself (which ended up just returning blank pages to me for some reason). I found more info through another website[0]. At least this helps

It's a bit of a tough read for outsiders (which I am), but with some basic understanding of the brain and a few lookups I think the paper is actually pretty readable in the end, so I'm attempting a quick explanation. There's

Thanks for answering those questions. I think it's all great news, and for customers it's reassuring to know that running time is really just about the test itself (which I noticed is in the FAQ, so sorry for wasting your time the

Interesting tool! And you've definition given a lot of thought to many of the problems encountered while attempting to do UI testing automation. I've written my fair share of extensive selenium stuff (and appium, but.. let's

I imagine the timing of this post is correlated with release of the documentary Bit Player about Claude Shannon. Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to it. The article does a decent job at graphing and laying out some of the concep

If it's helpful at all to you, I've had success with the list of books from this website: https://mathblog.com/mathematics-books/ Most of them likely have significant previews on amazon. The ones I was inte

There are also other categories of medications which people forget, with the spotlight being on SSRI. Off the top of my head there's also SNRI[0], NRI[1], MAOI[2], RIMA[2], and TCA[3]. Arguably for low to moderate depressive disorders

Their intro shows the bias directly. Quotes between "enrichment", and framing of everything antagonistically, a "vs. enrichment" thing. So let's start where they should start: what is "enrichment" to the a

To me this seemed to get easier as I encountered more "languages of the mind", i.e. more ways to think about things. This, is very much tied to the "nurture" part of our lives, as foundational experiences are more by the

This is the kind of article I'd love to read more of, as in more of each bit! It allowed me to discover the very well made docs to contribute to Firefox[0], which feels very welcoming to an enthusiastic non-genius-expert engineer, who

This is a cool website, and if people go past the landing page they'll find a trove of information and good descriptions of the initiative, as well as rebuttal of the criticisms I've read here so far. For example, the website is a

No doubt it's hard and technically limited too, with the state of customer-grade sensors (like the mimu, or eye-tracking devices) and VR. There are still many hurdles to simply running VR devices, so we're far from the kind of ado

It seems like a daunting task to take on so much, so props for the work put into this. It does kind of read like a beta, with the exception of the bigger thread (which makes it feel a bit more like an alpha). If that's okay, I'd

I hope the current giants in DAWs are doing much experimentation with VR tools, with the addition of multi-modal interfaces (like the mimu gloves and others), which could open up some marvelous ways of re-thinking music creation as a whole-

Well then how do you get to the parts of our universe that are receding at a speed faster than light due to space expansion? I'm not nearly as comfortable with relativity as I'd like to be, but too much in this hypothetical &quo

I'm not sure how they calculate the 1g thing past the speed of light (which takes you something short of a year to get to by classical mechanics). But say we just break physics as we know it, and somehow the prophesized amount of time

I agree with you that it's subjective. Testing logic vs. art is going to bring in this kind of problem to the surface (how do you test art in a comparable way to how you test logic?). This is why I wrote that noticing the thoughts made

Something about the logic being so off is what I intuitively find logical: we're making these AIs "in our image" in a sense (we think of "neural networks", train them with mostly human-generated datasets), and there

This article is fantastic in both shape and content, and I got lost with all the examples because there is so much to wonder at. What hits me most profoundly is that there are so many witty and interesting prompts yet the purely logical sta

Mercurial definitely is easier and prevents a lot of dangerous behaviour, but it's also unfortunately not quite supported enough to do much CI (unless you also want to maintain your own Jenkins setup) and isn't supported by some I

I understand the attitude, especially because most of the new shiny things tend to put a lot of polish and either no doc or overwhelming doc, instead of allowing smooth integration with a respectable learning curve. The only item in your li

That makes sense. As you said, those two sources don't have to be contradicting each other if they complement instead.

I assume your 20 years is a guesstimate, and I do think it misses the point of what Sutton's writing is. The trap here is that there's always to be more computing in the future, so where do we draw the line? The idea is to think

This sounds like the opposite of what Richard Sutton seemed to advocate for in his "Bitter Lesson"[0]. I don't know nearly enough to advocate for one thing or the other, but it is fascinating to see that those approaches seem

Many things can happen, and it's hard to be exhaustive when the stories are so subjective and not a lot of research can be done on psychedelics yet. First, for some people, psychedelics can trigger things they were not aware of (but li
