Dictatorship means total authority over a domain. EU is so very far from that. If anything it’s the opposite of dictatorship. The federal EU institutions are mostly toothless with respect to the nation states.

Ha, interesting. I'm used to road-bike prices, and I also know what cargo bikes can cost, so when I read "ridiculously expensive", I imagined they cost like a cheap used car, not less than €1k... All depends on context.

In the end, someone has power over the things in the real world, like releasing a version of the software or purchasing stuff. So everyone involved has to trust that someone at the least.

I'm a scientist too, in computational chemistry. To me, releasing the research code that accompanies a paper is an imperative. Increasingly, journals or individual (peer) reviewers demand it. It's essential for reproducibility. I

This is an impressive piece of work. It’s not a complete breakthrough like AlphaFold was for protein folding, but it’s a major step in a field that has been arguably rather stagnant. There were previous attempts at this (machine-learned den

In the end it’s about %FTP for a certain time. For me, 230 km at 25 km/h is ~50% FTP for 9 hours. If I were to ride at 90% FTP for multiple hours, which I think is at the border of what's humanly possible, I could do ~33 km/h

Endurance is not really about general fitness, but about adaptation to a specific activity, road cycling in this case. I’m an amateur, not serious cyclist, did 15k km in past 5 years. I’m not particularly fit (10km run in ~1 hour). Longest

If installing Poetry wasn’t an option, deploying a frozen set of dependencies should be still relatively easy with plain ”pip freeze” and “pip install -r”.

To run code developed with Poetry, you shouldn’t even know it’s developed with Poetry. It should be released as a source distribution or a wheel on PyPI or as a conda package if it contains nontrivial binary extensions. These distribution

So we just go one step further into the rabbit hole, now discussing what is truly power.

Excellent points. I wonder if that’s why of all contemporary art, I’ve truly only enjoyed political art. There is no doubt there about representation and the power behind.

It is a problem at higher speeds (>40 km/h) so in sprints or more typically in downhills. In downhills live data aren’t really that useful. If it showed a live map, that would be very useful.

In fact academics often put their work online freely. But funding sources press them to also publish in journals in order to satisfy their selection criteria

In fact much of physics research output is now freely on Arxiv. Doesn’t change the dynamics with journal prestige and securing funding, explained in the tweet thread.

You can learn a new foreign language when you’re 20. But it’s way easier when you’re 10 or 5. Same goes for learning to play chess, to code, and more broadly, for learning to learn.

It’s probably not important whether the talent is encoded in someone’s DNA or whether it was formed during their childhood and early education they got. But by the time people are teenagers, there can be large differences in learning abilit

This is a very simplistic view. The complexity of weather prediction is a factor of both how far into the future and how fine-grained the prediction is. Predicting 1 minute ahead is trivial. Predicting temperature with a 20-degree accuracy

The money needed for the “unlimited online access” is a tiny fraction of what the publishing industry currently devours. Arxiv and its clones already now serve a large portion of the whole scientific output at a fraction of the cost compare

In Investigations Wittgenstein realized that he went perhaps too far in Tractatus, and that words can be meaningful also “by consensus” not only “from first principles”.

I think this distrust in democracy as a system to elect representative people to legislate and govern is widespread and to a certain degree based on facts, but also deeply worrying. In a way it signifies a failure of democracy.

I never understood why this distinction is made and why it’s not just obfuscation. The real numbers are the cost of an employee to the employer and the amount the employee gets, the difference is what the state took as a tax, and the way th

One big difference—the discoveries waiting to be made in the early 20th century all concerned regular matter. As a result, once they were made, they enabled huge technological advancements.
