This applies to engineers as well! The ability to connect specialties is what separates the outstanding from the great.

Yeah, I don't mean it literally, nor do I necessarily agree with the concept of 10x engineers in general, but it's a useful shorthand. I would bet doctors vary somewhat less than other fields, but my family has been surprised and

> The lesson for me is that you must advocate for yourself and your loved ones in the medical system, because doctors will not do it for you; they may not even perform the most basic risk assessments. And you have to try to quantify risk

Navigating by clicking and holding a desired position on the scrollbar is completely broken.

I love this, but it does not seem to conform to standard UX best practices. If I click and hold then move the mouse away to release, I assume an element should not register that as a click. As-is, this is inconsistent: the button registers

Why assume bad faith? I've witnessed a barrage of "proof of concepts" at my dayjob by folks who have zero intention of ever hooking up their dashboard to our actual messy data. Shipping is still a major barrier. Is your exper

I explicitly do not mean "poor," that's why I choose "unknown." A better word would have been "variable." The point I intend to convey is that you need to use other signals to judge. That's also why

Why would ordinary cornering need to use the shoulder?

It's a strong signal of unknown quality. Caveat emptor. Closed-source makes that extra difficult. We are used to this, hence why folks here point it out.

It can write some fascinating stuff, but you have to learn to think in it: https://enkimute.github.io/ganja.js/examples/coffeeshop.html A major problem is that its a very general theory. Most calculations turn int

Keep in mind that the energy density of nuclear fuel is astronomically higher than that of coal, so even if the processes were equivalently wasteful (and I'm fairly certain they are not) coal would still cause significantly more damage

Despite my background in color science, I find RGB more intuitive. With HSV I have to remember the chirality of hue and it's zero point, and when changing hue I find it difficult to reason about saturation. In practice this means I mus

That is literally not true. The feeling of disconnect between your comment(s) and the intent of the tool remains.

What defines a bad tech vs a good tech? Similar arguments can be made for most research including nuclear fusion, AI, vaccines, space, polymers, combustion engines, electric motors, semiconductors...

More art than spec. I can dig it. I have always appreciated the concept of thinking of colors as a cube (even though I now view them as triangles or weird pyramid things). Thinking of cubes as a 10x10x10 cube composed of 1000 smaller cubes

Getting mangled by the receiver appears to be part of the spec. They've implemented their a custom LUT and suggest others should do the same. It feels like there's a fundamental disconnect between your comment the intent of the to

No worries, I understood your intent! The impact is a lot less than you may expect. Brains are ridiculously good at filling in incomplete information. For example, did you know that you have a roughly sun-sized blind spot slightly off cente

Teslas spend a tiny percentage of their life at highway speeds, and a major selling point of the platform is that their compute would be used to pilot the vehicle. If they could train using Teslas they wouldn't have needed Dojo.

Bifocals in general are quite useful. It's nice to be able to see the road and the speedometer using the same lenses. Traditional bifocals and progressives are different beasts. The hard outline on traditional bifocals means you get es

When writing a high performance video codec avoiding defensive copies of objects is something you want always, not just often. C makes it easy to be fast but hard to be safe. Rust makes it easy to be safe but hard to be fast. Also note that
