You might like Invisible Planets, Chinese sci-fi short stories compilation. I’ve read a few of them; Folding Beijing is pretty great.

For this situation, if it feels worth it, I have been applying chatGPT Q&A on the jargon to bridge the gap. I haven’t read this article through yet, so can’t recommend, but in many cases it’s a super useful contextual jargon clearer.

I asked a friend of mine @ google about what-next in ML the other day, and they recommended this post from a friend of theirs. I'm not sure I'd follow it end-to-end (like many things chatgpt it's an unknown 70-90% on target)

I am very ignorant about this, but couldn’t this be solved with a config where you specify “hearing loss at these frequencies at these levels” and then the headphones increase/decrease this frequencies in response? Obviously, there nee

Interesting point. Couldn’t this be solved for by Linked In and Google now? Find the candidates’ parents and then you have your answer. ( Of course, your company may choose to hire a legacy candidate for some of the same political benefits

Great idea. Me: “staircase wit” is a very charming phrase. What are some other unexpected phrases that might also be fun to know? ChatGPT: <I originally included the response, but you can ask it yourself if you care to. I feel this was a

I believed this strategy when I was a kid to think about a problem before you go to sleep and while you sleep your brain will figure it out for you. You’ll wake up with the problem solved. I believed it just like I believed countless other

Yes the sleep study people are the same people selling CPAP machines. So, yet it feels a bit like a scam “hey, what do you know, you need to buy our products!” But, most of the people I know who have used CPAP machines are very happy with t

Not only is this super cool by itself, there’s the possibility of transferred knowledge and someone else remixing to combine gothic and more modern ideas. Someone convince Elon to do the Mars base in nouveau-space-gothic.

I feel my life has improved immensely by the revelation of storing avocados in the fridge. 1. Ripeness-window is days, maybe even a week, and they can be super squishy and still not turn brown. 2. Because of #1, buy a good number of avocado

And don’t you end up with hire-to-fire practices as a result of this? Hire a lame employee just so they can be the one on the chopping block; preserving your actual valuable team members?

The kind of switches described are rocker switches with a small led to indicate state. In-person they provide every feature of a toggle switch, while also having a remote state change capability.

The vertical is total revenue for the year, centered around the axis. More emotional than a flat bottom edge, less info, less wasted space on the page. The bands appear to be stacked older-format-lower. It’s visually interesting, but withou

I think video games will also emerge as critical psychological support when we’re far away in cramped, boring, costly quarters. Spend 8 hours slowly digging an access tunnel on Mars, 8 hours in the fully immersive fantasy world of Unicornia

I find myself very interested in trying to figure out the story of medieval progress. Because I learned it was all fallen and ruined as a kid, and now I don’t believe it. But, I don’t have a grasp of the timescales of progress involved. My

Considering how many times our 5yo VW has been in the shop for major system breaks, I wouldn’t want to get a whole-new-drivetrain VW without massive warranty protection. We have a 15yo Toyota that’s been in the shop far less. Plus, (a) revi

Apple has a huge opportunity for AI + personal privacy if they can get an LLM on the phone that doesn’t need a cel connection to be good and they can somehow promise won’t phone home your info. I would recommend they spend more than this.

Every US company I’ve worked with that ended up with a London dev branch as part of an acquisition seems well aware of the wage disparity. They pull over the cream of the crop on L1 visas. It’s like temp-to-perm except 1000 times worse beca

My last chemistry class was in high school, so I had to glide over a lot of the details. But the story is still awesome even with liberal skimming of chem reaction details. This book is probably helping me cope with the extreme confusion of

Listened to this as an audiobook, and recommend the format for this specific book. The language is amazing but the subject is so brutal. The audiobook relentlessly drives forward, delivering the language and imagery without pause. I think I

I have always seen greek tragedy as the precursor technology to the scientific method. If you didn’t know how the world worked you would advance confidently on a determined path, protected by the gods. If the gods turned their face from you
