I'll bite: what quantum things can they run on it? Or, what is its utility as a quantum computing device?

This is cool! We visited the Rijksmuseum while they were doing the photography: automated but still painstaking work.

Interesting work. There are also clinical trials, recent and ongoing, looking at the effects of metformin on aging in humans, too, including the TAME trial[0]. [0]: https://www.afar.org/tame-trial

Thanks for sharing. I don't have the expertise to evaluate the claims, but it's certainly an interesting theory and a compelling story. Just wish he'd continued the presentation of his work.

This looks cool; I might wait for 1.0, but the idea of git underneath and something better on top is appealing.

Me, I picked Python and Mercurial for primary language and DVCS, respectively: one of those worked out really well. I still miss hg and have never really gotten the hang of git. Regarding Mercurial, would you happen to have recommendations

That's funny, I had thought that memristors were a solved problem based on this talk from a while back (2010!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGhvKyjgLY , but I gather HP never really commercialized the technology.

The paper should definitely be more clear on this point, but there's a sentence in section 5.2.3 that makes me think that this was playable and played: "When playing with the model manually, we observe that some areas are very eas

Yup, great example! Simons's lab has done some things along exactly these lines [0], too. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBoMjORwA-4

I understand what you mean. I believe that the authors would contend that what you're describing is a typical attentional state for an awake/aware human: focused mostly on one thing, and with surprisingly little awareness of most

Not exactly, but our representation of what's behind us is a lot more sparse than we would assume. That is, I might not be surprised by what I see when I turn around, but it could have changed pretty radically since I last looked, and

That's absolutely true. It's also well-established by Simons et al. and others that healthy normal adults maintain only a very sparse visual representation of their surroundings, anchored but not perfectly predicted by attention,

Great observation. And not entirely unlike normal human visual perception which is notoriously vulnerable to missing highly salient information; I'm reminded of the "gorillas in our midst" work by Dan Simons and Christopher C

It's remarkable that this works, and it's equally remarkable that the authors succeeded using a (deliberately) naive approach with the fMRI data. I was just teaching the visual system to students over the last few weeks: cognitiv

I am reminded of a (probably apocryphal) story about a professor who refused to return a book to the university library: "Any student who wants to read this book, that's a student I want to meet."

These are not the IM protocols you seek. On-topic, Pidgin remains great, I still install it on every new desktop, but I haven't fired it up in years. I suppose it's been displaced by Slack, more's the pity.

It's a shame because they made such outstanding products at one time. I was given a Toshiba laptop as I headed off to college in 1995, and it still boots (to Windows 3.11) 25 years later.

I would be interested to know what others use. I have found that following other scientists on Twitter (i.e., crowdsourcing) is surprisingly effective.

Or, if you're a myopic glasses-wearer, simply try on-off. I love this trick for images of all kinds because it allows me to apply a uniform blur, no computation required.
