I’ve never been to China but I know Panda Express is not Chinese food. You can get very authentic Chinese food in any reasonable sized city in the US. You can appreciate all cultures without having to travel there.

Do you really need to travel to China to get an appreciation for Chinese food? That’s kinda the point the author makes.

The author buries the crux in the middle: travel is fun. It’s rarely if ever, meaningful or transformative. You can do it because it’s fun. You might even learn a thing or two and be awed by the people and sights, but that’s it. I’m yet to

It’s a valid point. We might discover FTL and suddenly slack has to work at the federation level and serve trillions of people. This is such a poor design and won’t scale at that point.

Did you just say humans have right of way because we are benign and equal rights species as an animal?

I see no problems with this. We invade their domain and ruin it, we just gotta play by their rules now.

I remember over lunch with a person researching custom DNA vaccines and he mentioned to get personalized injectable grade DNA made per person costs a million dollars. My mind was blown.

The irony is here by far so many devs don’t mind the speed?

Abortion is a complex and controversial issue for one religion and one political party. If every religion or political party’s “complexities” need to affect MY google searches at that point it will likely need to look like some castrated ca

Gruber compiled some actual devs and their experiences but am unable to direct link to the post - it’s the top post on daringfireball.net now.

Even if it’s almost fine, do you really want to encourage someone to hold a knife with your app and a big black box in front of their eyes, ready for any litigation? I’m definitely getting a vision pro the moment I can, but I am most defini

I’m perfectly aware of that. But you know what operating systems the overwhelming vast majority of PEOPLE use, yes? Sure likely more machines run Linux on servers but that’s like saying your body has more bacteria than your own cells. Techn

As far as I can tell anyone who’s creating images is using midjourney. This is likely the same “Linux is open so it’s way better” tell that to the trillion dollar companies that bet against that.

If it’s trivial then why does every other competitor suck at replicating it? Is it possible this is just a case of sour grapes that this intellectual is annoyed they’re not at the driving wheel of the coolest thing anymore?

Because someone posted it at the right time and not everyone knows benzene toxicity has an endocrine component.

This is how it already works - this is what a clinical trial is. If you want to include the data point of a medicine working well as admissible, then you better have more than one patient try it at a time. Unless of course your drug is so g

Do you know how much it’ll cost to store 230 petabytes per month on premises at the same redundancy and availability level? I have done such calculations for academia at a smaller scale and unless you literally want it to last decades it’s

I get the networking aspect but sounds like you have to waste 80% of the time and inordinate amounts of money on all sides doing this mating display of a traditional conference with useless bs talks (like an inauguration) circle jerk award

How wrong can someone be? Unless the startups core proposition is some advanced algorithm (like openai), something very hard to replicate, it absolutely does not matter how great their engineers are. They merely need to be barely competent.

Misrepresented and made up discussions with Apollo app creator. Then caught red handed when the creator released recordings of those calls.

Maybe myopic share holders sure. There’s no way a logical person would think this is going to increase their returns on this company. Alienating your top creators is not a great strategy. As for your Facebook analogy, I don’t buy it. Every

But now their serious competition is 9gag not quora or some other site. Most of my regular friends started using Reddit not just for the memes but the text based ones (like AITA, BORU) and local subs. Good luck making them look good with a

I’m an avid Redditor and have been for a decade. I just stopped using it since the blackout. Turns out life is fine without it. Occasionally I go into it when I have a specific question or something but that’s it. Screw that site and these

I’m not a fan of Kurzgesagt at all unfortunately. I’m not a physicist so I’ll say maybe there’s some justification that I don’t fathom that explains why their fundamental explanation of the science is so terrible. But I am a biologist and I

Thanks, always on the lookout for new supernova YouTube videos, which surprisingly there are very few of which explain actual details as opposed to the drivel that is kurzgesagt. Many of these Popsci videos are even straight out wrong, they

Academic reading is not light reading if you’re doing it right though. It’s much harder than programming for me.

This is not an America thing. Even in Spain which by all accounts of my friends is considered the most laid back place in the planet, top academic labs do the grind you mention. This is not new either. Top Academia has been like this for a

I’ve worked for a decade in academic labs where 90 hour weeks were normal and you get two weeks off in a year. Not just grunt work but reading writing analyzing complex experiments etc. I then came to tech and started coding. It was a breat
