Do you feel that your technical skills, people skills, or luck have helped you to avoid any ageist treatment you've encountered over the years? Especially in scenarios where "deciders" are younger than you.

This should be pinned as the top comment on 80% of these kind of blog posts as a reality check. Don't get me wrong, I'm (relatively) young, ambitious, and love growth and learning. So I eat these posts up. But as I age and grow, I

Good writing is hard, but it's also very easy to just regurgitate patterns of nonsense buzzwords you see everywhere else. I've seen many people hear that and just nod their head. Sadly it convinces some.

I agree that the selection for memorization is high, and I've worked with many neuroscientists who cared more about biological "stamp collecting" than understanding systems. But in my experience neuroscientists have to have a

As a neuroscientist, yes. But this is true of most science & medicine news written for a general audience. I have to tell my parents to stop reading "Chocolate is a superfood / Chocolate causes cancer" articles every year

These are all true for me, but you know what's worse? In the office I have to hear everyone's meetings all the time. People feel compelled to tap me on the shoulder and interrupt the work that was supposedly so important to get do

I think you're right in the long run, but in the short run all it takes is largely the non-experts and business people to _think_ they can make mass layoffs and "hire" AI for a significant number of people to lose out on the

They will certainly change the output, as we've already seen, likely not for the better unless something changes.

Perhaps I've missed it but my number one request for these tools is to support time series data and analyses (or other data "structures" in general). The focus on beautiful visualization and easy graphical interfaces is great

Can you explain how the actual taste component is indeed virtual? The article mentions the hydrogels already contain the tastants, even those beyond the 5 fundamental ones, which means a rich taste+smell combo already present in physical fo

There's no virtual flavor here. >There were nine taste-generating channels filled with flavored hydrogels. The gels were made out of agarose mixed with a bit of mineral water and specific flavor essences: sugar, salt, citric acid, c
