Two of my research advisers whose dissertations in PhD Physics had Hopfield as their primary reference. I'm also a PhD candidate working on one right now (no longer my primary reference because of all the developments) but I can trace

That definitely isn’t normal. My guess is you need to clean the contacts in the AirPods. They might be in the case but it’s still pairing or trying to pair. Shouldn’t drain that much, especially overnight.

I’ve replied to your other comment and I am replying again only after reading the other comments here, but I just realized here that I don’t think anyone is invalidating your experience of not liking it, but specifically reacting to the ter

I think what the person who replied to you is primarily reacting to is the term “cash grab”. And that is what I will focus on. You yourself mentioned that Bill did not hype up anything about it, nor did you really counter with any arguments

I agree with you. It's up to the parents to figure out an environment where the kid will be okay in 10 years. Hard to argue for intentionally pulling someone back just to conform if there is nothing wrong with what they're doing.

Of these, only the first one actually has any real value. And as you've mentioned there are likely less "expensive" ways to do so. By expensive, I mean this is essentially using a sledgehammer to crack a nut (especially the D

The fact that that disclaimer is on the login page itself sounds really problematic.

I have the exact same experience as you. I usually take comments like this with a grain of salt, especially if it’s a very general and non-specific complaint.

As a physicist, the main reason why I chose the Pro version is the refresh rate. It doesn’t distract me when I’m using the pencil. Also the keyboard when I need to quickly ssh into something and I didn’t bring my laptop. (Not sure if there

I play with my Switch once every few months and have not encountered anything close to what he described so it’s probably longer. Honestly, I play more often on my switch over PC since it’s just easier to pick up and drop.
