I flown many long haul flights. The first time I heard Musk propose using rockets for international travel I thought it was insane. I still do. But if they are accident free for the next 10 years; would I then? Probably - if they could mana

I've always wanted to take a swing at re-institutionalizing science as a betting game. It'd be such a good business model for a free preprint server. Best predictor wins! Cheaters punished!

As a product it was a disaster. What I would do if I was going to turn it into a company: 1) temporarily decrease the # of supported apps. 2) new custom react UI 3) call it project headless. try to discard a ton of code. keep the schemas, f

I think there are a few candidate computational problem domains that fit the (useful work / fast verification) conundrum. My idea for solving some of the problems of a useful work approach: 1) To make it distributed Have a set of insti

This data / capability is worth at least tens of billions. From a purely cold calculation perspective, the UK could if desired use this data in a myriad number of ways to extract lucrative financial value. The US could too but because

Can't you just do that manually?

Have you tried comdb2? I've heard good things. Idk why it isn't more popular.

Thanks for writing this. This topic is something I've been thinking about alot lately too. There are so many incredibly important real world consequences of this worldview. I think you made a great choice focusing on one as tangible as

What's your reasoning? Google's latest published research is analogously parsimonious with this approach. They are doing decoding using a simple beam search through a single neural network. See https://ai.googleblog.com

Oops, there I go being Anglocentric again. The datasets are out there; but idk if there are German trained models. Fortunately wav2letter++ looks like it's been built to be very friendly to train a more extensive one if there isn'

Facebook has released wav2letter++. I'd wager that will outperform kaldi by a wide margin.

Rough.js + WE look awesome. I love that you can hand craft UI ideas in the same style if needed. Just curious - do you use any drag & drop tool with it for prototyping?

Is this the best solution if I want a standalone bare metal server that can spin up VMs? I'm looking for the closest analog to for example, an open source digitalocean style platform. Also interested in something that lets me manage CU

lgl is a web dev. Are you a physicist? If so, why not post a link to your profile? Why the need for your made up dialogue instead of a substantive rebuttal containing information about your allegedly detailed knowledge of the inner workings

We'd live in the Diamond Age. The molecular nanotechnology vision of the world would be true. Eg. we could create any material with the characteristics we wanted. Uncertainty wouldn't matter because there would be no compound

If we had such a "very good" understanding they wouldn't be spending billions to build the Electron-Ion collider at Brookhaven. Here's a good article about it, that's much more balanced than the QCD slanted wikipedi

Sure, can you explain it to me and cite your evidence? Because that's the wikipedia article about protons, not an answer. The truth is this is a controversial area of physics heavy on theories and light on experimental data. The simple

I have an unusual idea related to this. You might call it the interconnectedness of all things. (h/t DG) The more you look into quantum systems the more things seem to look like you are looking at the observable universe that we see in

A missed opportunity? If the struct graph is all records or primitives, the compiler should include a toJson(), fromJson() in the sealed class. It could be done with classes too, but if it was records/prims only, then it could be done

It's too bad. ZFS is amazing and so ridiculously simple to use and manage if you can find the recent docs among all the old docs online. Anyone using Stratis? Just noticed it recently went to 2.0. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Lol. I prefer to be clean than masked. Most workplaces here have shower stalls for people who need them. For example if you biked to work.

I live in a hot climate. I've never used deodorant. A/C+I shower and swim a fair amount and that seems to be enough. I personally find the odor of perfumes 1000X more offensive than BO. I once had to leave the gym because of an ol

China is so far ahead in consumer financial services. Even panhandlers in China use Alipay/WeChat pay. Constrast that with the west, where you need to jump through way more hoops to start taking payment. The onboarding of non-Chinese u

I believe it would be an interesting exercise if you let the system decide everything, like how often the data is sampled, what information is shared and with whom, etc. Information it might share could be time of day, location, all sorts o
