Would love a system that analyses my shell command usage and recommend when I should link commands I often use in series and turn them into one line. It’s more than just frequency analysis because it helps to remember what commands happened

It’s amazing how one person can make a relatively unknown place a hub in an academic field. Makes me really think that sometimes the great man theory has merit.

I wondered what was the last time you could say that "half the YC batch is working on an X startup", for any value of X. When did this pseudo math talk creep into normal speech? It reeks of charlatans pretending to be technical

Do you think it is the difference between hardware vs software? The competition for hardware is fierce, so margins and profits are low.

In some Asian countries, microwaves are not common. They use a steamer with either metal or porcelain bowls inside. Maybe the data can be used to compare between microwave SV non microwave life.

Thanks. I created a lens that searches PubMed for scientific papers. It’s not bad, but not sure if it’s better than just searching on pubmed or scholar.google.com

Kagi looks great. But does it search academic papers like google scholar?

by j7ake 3y ago
How does Kagi perform for non-English websites? Eg german, Japanese, Chinese?

I found these questions excellent prompts for chatgpt. I imagine using chatgpt plus these questions would greatly help a grad student study for their comps.

I wonder if there are ways to flag troll posts, otherwise an interesting site.

The UK has taken such a nosedive recently that news of rejoining Horizon Europe (something they have had for many years) is met with wide celebration.

That’s essentially the British social class system in a nutshell: very subtle accents, dress, and manners convey how high you are on the social hierarchy. Everything is understated, dressing flashy or bragging is vulgar.

It’s crazy that even back then , a man with his talent had productivity was largely ignored by society. I lament the thousands of latent van goghs today that just didn’t get noticed in todays hyper competitive and hyper attention-focused so

It’s 2023, you’re welcome to contradict this article if you wish, if you think this person is wrong. The fact this essay continues to be shared 100 years later suggests that this excellent essay could simply be a result of selection: bad es

He did not say whether socialism is better versus democracy. He said human institutions have an optimum size. An institution or system that works at small scale is not guaranteed to work at large. That is not common sense, and in fact many

The clarity and authority in his writing is remarkable. His writing is in contrast to todays blog post style writing. Today it is a catchy intro graphic, a low-information intro paragraph, a barely relevant graphic separates every two parag

We are at a “prestige, glam, and attention” at all costs phase of society.

Would have been nice if they started with an example pdf of what the output would look like, rather than just give a bunch of code and ask us to compile it ourselves.

Sounds reasonably priced, considering I see some boxes of breakfast cereal (basically reconstructed corn flour dust with sugar) at 4 or 5 dollars per box.

by j7ake 3y ago
In USA is it possible to just get the real version of breakfast cereal: ie muesli?

Sometimes there’s talk about how science has stalled and there is no progress. It’s nice to be reminded that there has been indeed real progress, especially at the applied and medical sciences.

Metrics rarely increase the amount of rate top quality work, but history has shown how bad metrics can decimate the top quality work produced, eg Expulsion of jewish scientists in Germany during the 1930s. I suspect todays short-term, glamo

But I’m comparing the most expensive city in Germany vs Austria so it’s a fair comparison.
625.
by j7ake 3y ago
But the fact people stay in Vienna means they are paying people fairly there.
626.
by j7ake 3y ago
Lots of comments here saying Germany is 30 percent cheaper than Austria. Isn’t living in Vienna much cheaper than living in big cities in Germany like Berlin and Munich? So overall it’s still a better deal to live in Vienna than in Munich.

To check price of items in Austria, the website is here: https://heisse-preise.io/ Browsing around, the prices look very reasonable and inexpensive to me. For example, 500 g bag of peanuts is 4.59 euros, the price has fluct

The other annoying thing is the large file that is behind some click button, so you cannot easily copy and paste the url and download it via wget.
