   Magnetogenetics seems to be the new trend for remote control of neural pathways. And it indeed sounds scary to me that someone can now engineer a pathogen that will modify your brain cells with living antenae in order to allow remote contro

   Because it looks corporations are the government. I really like the idea of democracy, but it looks like politics and democracy are two very different things. Actually I would love to see some usable digital democracy project coming out. I

   And we need an effective regulator. For example, I am baffled by the level of oligopoly allowed in the EU cellular/telecom industry. It is quite obvious that prices are synchronized between providers if you watch their dynamics over ti

   Wouldn't it be considered a derivative work though?

   Yep, but guess who will win corporate argument inside the company. You may advocate as much as you like, but no legal person will approve the general use of the software in the company. I guess some companies, like Amazon will find their wa

   While I can't substantiate it, I also have the feeling that current crypto hype is unnatural and kind of a bubble. It looks like a lot of fiat money is flowing into crypto and one must wonder where this money is coming from. One obviou

   It looks that they have this functionality in Beta, but I haven't really tried that. All my jobs are in containers. https://docs.drone.io/runner/exec/overview/

    In legal terms yes, but monopolies should be regulated for a good reason. How about your water supply company cutting you off, because they don't like that poster on your house?

    Even though a webapp is much safer in that regards than appstore, you still don't have 100% control, because of things like safebrowsing etc.

    I can confirm this. I was offered surgery for my 2 year old for a problem that is not life threatening and could possibly (but rarely) cure itself. In the end it indeed cured itself.

    I agree about engine oil being a differentiator. I disagree about >10k miles with synthetics (maybe valid only under ideal circumstances, such as long trips, driver only, nice weather, good fuel ...). For the rest of the lubricants (e.g.

    Thanks for the JS perspctive. Since my frontend work mostly involves hacking together prototypes and trying to integrate some JS libs in as quickly as possible, I guess I am kind of biased.

    I can code comfortably in Python, Java, JavaScript and to some extent C/C++. In the last 4 years I have been using mostly Python for various reasons (Machine Learning, OS automation, web scraping ...). Compared to the other languages,

    Looks pretty cool! Kind of reminds me of Google sketchup but in code.

    While I agree with the current status quo, I don't think that it is too hard to break the vendor lock-in here. Most ML people code against pytorch or tensorflow/keras APIs, so as long as AMD is a viable backend for these framework

    Maybe as a basis for something like an open source Photomath[1]. I noticed that kids use it a lot in my community. And it is not only to cheat at homeworks :) [1] https://photomath.app/en/

    How much resources does that consume (both compute and human)? Have you done upgrades?

    It depends. For example, office software is already far into the flat region of its innovation curve. IMHO it would suffice to throw away MS and adopt e.g. LibreOffice in all educational and government institutions throughout EU (and there

    Also, you should take into account that SAP the company is not just the ERP. It has acquired several big SaaS vendors in the past years (Ariba, SuccessFactors, Concur etc) so many of us may be touching SAP without even realizing it.

    While I accept your counterargument (esp. regarding credit scores, autonomous vehicles and the like) I think interpretability in deep models is only meaningful if you have accurate, objective labels. But how often is this the case? For exam

    I ditched nginx as soon as I could after the F5 acquisition. Once you have a bad experience with a company it stick for a long time.
