You can find problems like “oops, the Android they use in India on phone model X has chrome that blocks the screen every week so they can’t get passed the login flow” It’s about better sampling of the actual distribution. User testing has h

The original post proposes they be abandoned. So I’m arguing against that.

Well yeah you have to actually do it right.

I didn’t say it was objective. I said it allows you to be less subjective. I have no idea how anyone could think otherwise unless you’ve never had, for example, analytics show you your visual design or interactive flow is literally broken o

What I wrote wasn't an insistent denial, try steelmanning next time. Extrapolating the magnitude of problems from user research is hard, since you're still sampling a distribution.

I don't get it - it is a nice sentiment, but the crux of the argument seems to "go with your gut." The reason web analytics has been so popular is that you can actually improve your product significantly without as much subje

for good typing you really need buttons. the issue keeps getting danced around, but ultimately I think where you want to end up is where you have a device like a twiddler on one hand that somehow is easily retractable out of the way. or, yo

I have no idea why you assume I throw away computers.

I honestly don't get this. I used to build my own PCs and all that but now computers are so cheap and so rapidly evolving, buying a new supercomputer beyond comprehesion every couple of years seems fine. Upgrading GPUs out of cycle see

Fascinating, do you have literally any evidence whatsoever that this project doesn't work or isn't realiable?

I kinda wonder if you could find out when they first encountered the worst parts of the Internet. That's basically the main thing I worry about (my 5 year and 3 year old current have laptops, but we have eyes on the screens all the tim

Wow, I feel old that someone can actually post this, but damn, is that illuminating.

1 is ignoring people allegedly who have testified to the ICIG and 3 is simply false, since he has not claimed any such beliefs, merely put forward a theory he was read into without commenting on his beliefs. Your post reads like an attempt

It’s resolved once William and Mary are done.

Yeah the odds are extremely low but the case isn’t closed yet. There is ongoing analysis of the actual samples.

"A crystal of pure LK-99" is an oxymoron, LK-99, the physical substance in Korea, is not a pure crystal.

These analogies aren't useful. Much of this process so far has relied upon a single point of failure not failing: that the paper contains the necessary information to replicate and describe the material. If that assumption is wrong, wh

The substance produced from the paper isn't a superconductor. While extremely unlikely, there is still a chance that LK-99 is a superconductor, but the paper itself did not sufficiently describe the method needed to make it so as to re

Something I'm immediately thinking about with this is change management and inertia at the early stages of a new, underdefined project. Less code is great, the big question is how such a system compares to the usual hack-and-slash meth

Yep the original term DSL was for custom languages, the eventual introduction of using it for these kinds of literate APIs was done later. Using it in the original way unqualified is fine imo.

If your sample's resistivity goes down as it warms up, odds are you didn't make the same thing the Koreans did.

If you presume it’s possible to create technology that can self replicate and harm all life it reaches near some approximate of c, then depending on your beliefs about how common life is, you should expect an intervention system.

Everything you wrote was addressed in the hearing today. There are many, many incidents and we would not be flying these things in training areas that jeopardize flight safety of our own pilots, for one.

No, Grusch and the UAP act’s extensive citations of biological evidence.

Yes, you have heard this for months. It’s a progression that started in 2017. It’s a train moving very clearly in one direction and it’s not meandering or regressing, it’s advancing while most people aren’t paying attention. The UAP act thi

They are. Google the UAP act. Things are apparently about to get very weird.

It sounds like we have dead alien bodies. No, I never thought this was likely.

Weird to have these kinds of articles coming out at the same time the US government appears to be lining up an entire set of institutional infrastructure and laws to disclose to the public that we have evidence of non-human intelligence. Al

In high school I worked for Lucent in this building after school and over summers. It’s where I learned UNIX, vim, Perl, and how web servers worked. It bums me out seeing that it now is basically a big mall. Hopefully there are some cool st

I thought so too but it is looking more like most of the things like crashes, recovered bodies, and so on may actually be true too.
