I love a lot of what Musk does but thought those tweets were just insane, classless, and reprehensible. Fortunately, he's seemed to have calmed down his social media game since 2018 (thank God), but he should still absolutely have to s

I'm being lazy and don't want to dig, but does anyone know which of the AlphaStar networks (Protoss, Terran, Zerg) is best at beating the others?

As much as I'm not a fan of celebrity politicians, the situation you describe sounds pretty democratic.

Hell yes. 90 hours of cumulative textbook reading time is pretty much an undergraduate degree. 90 hours of WoW is like.. getting to level 40

I love mynoise.net so much. It first came into my life when I was a grad student and needed white noise to read scientific papers in a crowded office. Now, it's finding its way back as a generator of fantasy dungeon sounds in my DnD ca

I was having a hard time deciding which pair of glasses to buy a few years ago, so I posted a survey to mTurk with selfies in a bunch of different frames. About $20 got me ~150 responses and a clear winner. I've been fascinated with th

I thought I was pretty hip to psytrance, but I guess not because I don't recognize any of these artists. How can there be a whole psytrance guide without mentioning 1200 micrograms, Infected Mushroom, or Shpongle?

Reason is well and good, but the article linked is all about how Pinker's are arguments are not, in fact, as dispassionate and reasonable as he'd like to think

What is SF?

Yeah, and it fails to acknowledge that there is a long and nuanced body of work in neuroscience concerning the degree of localization vs distribution of function going back at least 100 years (see Karl Lashley, Donald Hebb)

My goal would primarily be to avoid having to make sure there's an active python installation with all the right dependencies set up on a client's computer. That's been a huge problem for me in the past during deployment (esp

I'm looking forward to try out Pyodide in Electron so that I can make use of all the great Python scientific and signal processing libraries for data processing.

In my experience, yes. As an individual at the lowest price point you're paying $450 a month to sit a table in a cafeteria.

Haskell is probably #1 for languages that old guard types fawn over and, yea, I think it's pretty cool, but don't ever expect to be in a situation where I get paid to write it. I really liked Racket a lot actually! It turned me on

I feel like this opinion is too popular so I just want to respectfully speak my peace. I'm a relatively new developer and I never learned any of the languages that a lot of the old guard fawns over, but after learning coding with Rack

There's a lot going on physiologically when you're getting intimate (e.g. oxytocin, testosterone), so it's hard to tell. However, I've noticed the same thing, and I'll also add a loss of appetite.

+1 for Forbidden Sky as well, which I think is the sequel to Forbidden Desert. I don't play many board games but had a fantastic time with it recently. It does a good job of making everybody feel included and engaged until the end, whe

This looks like just the thing I've been looking for. I'm interested in getting into Mike Bostock's Observable notebooks to do data visualization research but am afraid of the potential frustration of manipulating data frames

This to me is hands-down the worst part of the rebrand. Harder to distinguish (why is everyone in my company's default avatar just different colors of the same shapes?) and in many cases probably took away something that people had bec

I lived in Vancouver during that time and got to visit and meet the people behind all those new breweries through the UBC Brewing Club. It was truly inspiring. People just a little bit older than us combining their passion with engineering

So, activity-dependent signaling cascades can cause single nucleotide substitutions during transcription? Oh my god, I remember why I left neuroscience now. Biology is just incomprehensibly, nauseatingly, complex.

This article takes for granted that the Jiankui has actually edited human embryos. I haven't been following this story closely, but I'm inclined to believe the guy is fraudulent until proven otherwise. Has it been established that

This is actually kind of exciting because at least the probiotics are doing something . If they're strong enough to make you brainfoggy if you take too much, then maybe they actually can help you recover from depression/anxiety l

Hence the importance of pro-active policy measures. It'll be interesting to see this play out in the next few years as protecting truck driver jobs with regulations should (hopefully?) receive bipartisan support.

I was studying neuroscience and met another student who said "Hey, I've been running workshops teaching people how to build simple brain computer interfaces with EEG, but it's hard to explain the signal processing steps witho
