I didn’t believe it when I first read it but I can indeed run arbitrary code on my iPhone with Jupyterlite. This is great! So finally I can analyse data using the iPad on a plane, hopefully… if I find a way to reliably start Jupyterlite fro

Mainly that it‘s impossible to go back a step! Sorry if my comment sounded negative — I learnt a lot just by clicking through the steps. Very easy to follow. The steps are just the right size of complexity, the code is very clear.

Nice learning resource. Big caveat: Can’t seem to go back a step. Nice looks, but functionally still has some way to go.

The thing about notes is that I have gotten really used to have them available across all my devices. When I'm in a meeting I might want to jot down or cross off an item from my phone. When I'm on a train or plane I'd use my

Why do press releases always have to oversell the findings? I think it plays into the hands of science deniers. I can see how press departments could claim that they’re only doing their job, but it’s potentially unethical and dangerous.

Famous example: Ragnar Granit studied color vision in the cat for 10 years. It turned out cats are colorblind. He carried on and later was awarded the Nobel Prize for related research.

Twitter is poison for academic debate. It is already impossible to discuss a complex matter over email—most nuance gets lost. Twitter is much worse, a) because of the character limit, b) because of the crossfire that is a wild mix of releva

It may seep in in the corporate environment. But I cannot see it in academia. A relevant presentation will be followed by a critical discussion. If there is no discussion or only positive comments, the presentation was is very likely irrele

Engaging with critique is an invaluable skill that is relevant way beyond academia. They key is to never take it personal, otherwise one has lost the debate already. Understanding the main angle of critique on the spot is hard enough, comin

Some journals encourage the submissions of comments to published papers. After all, a little controversy attracts traffic and gives both the critique and the critiqued paper more visibility. But not all authors like being critiqued. This is

WFH is indeed advertised as pro environment. It just isn’t taking off very well for many. Change is hard and re-thinking work as an entirely online activity requires a lot of change. For some, their jobs which were fun before the pandemic n

I made the switch from Linux to KDE a few years back. It takes a while to learn all the new keyboard shortcuts—in fact most of the missing bits quoted in the article are present, just not where/how you were used to them in KDE. What re

This is precisely their point. Reading the usual Arxiv-PDF on a phone is a pain, even if you just want to glance at some key parts of the text. Their version is much, much better. It's self-promotion by the Authorea team on the platfor

I think money on the scale of a lifted minimum income is not the issue here. These people want to achieve status. Minimum income wouldn't help.

Swapping fizzy drinks and juices with water can easily save 500 kcal a day, which can tip the balance from net caloric surplus to net caloric deficit, that is, from weight gain to weight loss. 10/10 can recommend.

3 simple steps to lose weight: 1) Make yourself familiar with the energy contents of foods you usually eat. 2) Identify 500 kcal that you can cut out of your daily diet by eliminating the highest energy items or eating less of them. 3) Lose

I tried this years back, but found that the metabolic rate increase alone won't do the trick. The difference in calories burned is so small that it can be offset by eating a few bites more. And one will be more hungry. The most effecti

Russian bombers, fighter jets, missiles launched from those Iislands can reach Hokkaido and/or Tokio much quicker than when launched from more northern islands, leaving less time for countermeasures. Same for ground troops.

Looks great and is certainly useful for a quick check. For finer discrimination a real graphical display will still be required though, e.g. for checking bonds, and geometries.

Yes, analog computing can be more efficient and faster. But there are reasons why analog was eclipsed by digital. 1. Flexibility. Reprogramming digital computation is easy and quick. 2. Robustness. One can mass-produce devices that operate

If the roads between cities are paved and marked, yes. Easy. No marks and no hard surface: Much more challenging.

Isn't the restriction to availability in major cities contradicting the requirement of fully autonomous driving in "all" conditions? Driving in a major city with (mostly) intact infrastructure is much easier than e.g. driving

Feedback like "Did you even try" is just as useless as "You were fine but someone else was better." Why not simply state what's wrong with the abstract, and how it could be improved?
