That sounds ideal! I used to be a field roboticist where we would program and deploy robots to Greenland and Antarctica. IMO the fieldwork helped balance the desk work pretty well and was incredibly enjoyable.

Maybe try OnShape, which is browser based and quite professional?

1 sounds like a huge inefficiency?

that may be the exception that proves the rule here though. Outside of the tiniest toy example is this ever true?

I’ve been climbing for 20 years and it’s the thing that prevents RSI for me and makes it possible to use a computer too much :). Certainly possible to injure fingers but would be a very rare climbing injury that would threaten coding.

Yep, I was in Tokyo last year and scoured the earth looking for decent deals on used film cameras. If anything they were selling at a significant premium to US prices. It was quite disappointing.

Yes, the surface tension of melted solder pulls the solder to just the pad areas (assuming you don’t have far too much)

That’s kind of the point though. The scarcity focuses you n taking more deliberate and intentional photos.

Really? I do this often and have never had any issues.

Go for it anyway! I have a small NYC apt and fit everything I need for darkroom development into a small crate. I can scan negatives with a small setup here, but do have to go to a community darkroom for enlarger printing.

Yes, that’s the point I was making in my response.

I disagree. There are some cases where I want to bang out an experiment and iterate on it. While I have the ability to understand what's going on, the iteration loop makes more sense to go through the model than trying to understand wh

I like it but it always felt like there was an escalating kill screen that happens way too quickly. Either that or I'm bad at it.

No? Most of my peers don’t participate in social media anymore. I know few people who post online on almost any platforms outside of group chats.

Selling stock triggers huge tax implications. It can be rational to think the market will retreat significantly without selling everything you own.

Is showering worse than congestion and vehicle emissions? …no. This is not a good faith argument

What would "finding it" mean, whether inside the brain or out? It's quite easy to perturb consciousness by messing with the pieces of the brain, via pharmacology, injury, electrical stimulation, etc. I'm not sure why we

Why does consciousness have to live somewhere? I currently prefer to think of it as an emergent phenomenon that arises (somehow, we have no clue) from the complex and distributed computations in the brain. Many different systems contribute,

Fed targets 2%, which is very very different from 3%.

by etrautmann 1y ago
With 2% target inflation prices double every 17 years, so that’s not too far off.

That's not true. Thalmic did develop an sEMG band, but the tech developed here was created by Ctrl-labs and continued development within Meta.

That's not a limitation - it works in the air, on your leg, other hand, etc.

Who raises these farmed embryos? What is the thought here beyond just more infants?

That’s absolutely not true. In NYC, I can get rich by investing the difference between a mortgage and my rent, and there’s literally no period over which it makes financial sense to buy. People still buy if coursed but it’s not because it m

I am not an economist but would guess that three feels quite different from two.

I think the point is that many of the individuals involved in hyping NFTs moved on to hyping projects in AI. Even if there's immediate real world utility in AI, it's reasonable to approach the space cautiously if you have concern

Yes, but this is the core of what they're offering. As the son of a science museum director, I've seen exactly what it takes to keep hands on science exhibits going. I agree with the article here, although I think it's approp

Agreed - it was a bit of an adjustment moving to NYC and dealing with a packed subway but now I quite enjoy the density and people watching as a feature of the experience.

How is that relevant? The camera isn’t blasting you with harmful light.

What? A camera can see you but cannot impact your physiology unless thrown at you.
