I guess it's kind of nice to have Spotify controls for pause and play over other applications, but I would gladly give that up for regular keys. That's literally the only thing I can think of. I want my function keys, I want my ph

I'm a painter, mostly oils. I got burned out in the film industry and switched to CS as a career (distributed systems mostly) and then took up painting very seriously on the side as the outlet for my expression. A million years ago in

Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain is an astonishing book that revolutionized my own artistic practice. The simple but difficult emphasis on drawing what actually see and not what you think you see takes real presence and mindfulness

I'd be very interested in other's opinions, but my observation is that high quality research != good products. There's a major disconnect between the labs and those building/selling the products.

Not to mention that even if the AI technology here was decent (which it doesn't appear to be) it suffered greatly from a dearth of samples. Machine learning requires big data, and cancer treatment data is, in many instances, just not b

A little bit of stage fright is generally healthy. It shows that you care enough to be concerned and you're not getting too cocky. That's an old lesson I learned doing (of all things) middle school acting class and it's prove
