He was recommended by my therapist. Essentially runs an all-inclusive, boutique medical service; expensive, but actually turned out to be cheaper than all the services I'd previously had to use, for the best care of my life. That said,

My doctor sends out a monthly newsletter sharing things he finds interesting or useful, medical news, etc. Just this weekend he covered this study and shared his own thoughts on this, which I'll summarize since I haven't asked his

I've been trying out Claude Code (the tool I've found most effective in terms of agentic code gen/manipulation) for an emulator project of mine for the last few days. Part of it is a compiler from an architecture definition t

The scramble to get your paper done in time is traditional! (And why my final paper for the onity lock hack ended up with an entire section I decided was better off left unsaid; woops)

Given the number of times I've bricked hardware during reverse-engineering and driver development, I don't find it super likely, tbh. I'm by no means an expert here, but it's one of those things where if you already have

Out of curiosity, have you had luck using LLMs for parser generation? I should really try it out with my parser combinator library; would be cool to be able to throw in sample code and some basic instructions and get a usable parser out for

This has been really interesting to me. I've been learning Spanish for a while and will mix un poco español en my sentences with ChatGPT all the time, and it's cool to see the same thing reflected back to me. It's not uncommo

It's possible to do all of this with current technology. Just... Why? The cost would be exorbitant; even with really clever deployment tech, the launch costs are gonna be dominated by solar panels and radiators. This is a super cool id

Massive radiators. The ISS has radiators that have a dissipation capacity of about 3m^2/kW. If we use that number, we'd need a 3000m^2 radiator per megawatt, which is the scale they're talking about. This could theoretically

In this kind of hierarchy, I'd personally say fedora is third gen (due to it being so similar to Redhat) and that nixOS is fourth gen. Both came out around the same time, but took such vastly different routes with different kinds of it

I wrote a fiction book, which has sold virtually nothing (maybe $50 gross, against an out-of-pocket cost of ~$4k). Both of these would piss me off if they happened to me or my author friends; I also don't think they should be illegal.

As someone both extremely left and extremely anti-IP, it's been ... Interesting for sure. But a lot of the "pro-IP" positions I've seen are more about the ability for artists to continue earning living wages, or about th

You misunderstand the use of "commercial" here. This isn't about private corporations launching their payloads for commerce, it's about private (commercial) entities providing launch services to the ESA and other public

Yeah, this is honestly super interesting as a journey, but not as a destination. The framing takes away from how cool the work really is.

Piracy: not bad, unethical, or immoral. White supremacy: very bad, unethical, and immoral. Maybe reconsider your priorities here.

The author clarifies later that the listed therapeutic dosage is weekly rather than daily, so that's 3500-7000mg/week versus 35mg/week for an average person (from a quick Google, 70kg). Not sure where the 300x is coming from,

I couldn't agree more. This is why I'm investing heavily in companies producing body bags; sure, people are going to die, but the upside for me could be in the five figures by the time it comes for me!
