Mentoring someone can result in you yourself being fired. You train someone to be able to do what you can do, and now you have a person who has the skills and costs the company a lower salary than yours. If the company decides to reduce the

Someone should train an AI to find all the assumptions ("useless specks of dust") made in science. Then they should all be checked. Would likely result in a great leap in scientific discovery.

Not always. At a college I worked at the contributions by the school to our health insurance cost was added to employees paychecks as a line item, then the amount of health insurance paid by the employee (a small percentage) subtracted, so

Using packages, frameworks, and libraries has made it easier to build complex applications and systems faster, but it has made maintaining and debugging them much more difficult. If you are using 10 libraries, each with 100,000 to 1,000,00

Anything with a better user interface will replace traditional devices. Computers are still too difficult to use. It seems like VR/AR is primarily a computer interface that is easier to use because everyone already knows how to navig

Note that because you only get this raise once a year you are actually making less than you expect during the year, getting further from matching inflation towards the end of the year. So you are actually getting paid less, though it makes

I think he gave a talk at Dartmouth College not long after his company pivoted to a new product. The talk was mostly about other research but he also mentioned what was going on with his company. I don't remember the date or location

Could you do the inverse and use Melodyne to isolate a particular sound, click on it, and then have the camera scan for and isolate its location? https://www.celemony.com/en/start

I use handheld sound amplitude meters and spectrogram software on smartphones to track down sounds I want to eliminate. This is often for musical purposes, but also for annoying sounds. An amplitude meter can be useful for finding the sou

It seems likely that fewer people would use P2P meth if they knew it was going to destroy their minds in weeks. So a big contributing factor here is that this has not been publicized, which seems like a major failure of both the medical an

So they can design a new vaccine in a short time, test it in a few months, but has anyone been working on large scale production for new vaccines? Do we still need to be making the old vaccines while also ramping up the new ones if we need

I once saw a presentation by Chip Elliott about a project to make video sensors ultra low power. They were redesigning the sensors from the ground up to reduce power usage in order to enable cameras to be used as very low power sensing dev

Boston is also one of the oldest cities in the USA, and has had much longer to build up a presence of toxins, especially from the early days when people dumped anything anywhere.

I am surprised that no one here has stated the obvious, that the release of information on big participants in the USA _could_ be released next. The summary page at the Guardian says "What has been revealed so far?" That implies

I would guess that a lot of the validation for studies like this comes from marketing research. Marketing often does "study groups" to try to figure out if, say, one product name is better than another. Would you buy "ZimZa

I see this as a failing of microprocessor design. I/O should be standardized and there should be high level API's that do not change across chips or companies. MCU's are intentionally fragile in this respect to try to lock

Why do prices always double when a car like this is sold in the EU or USA? Is it a combination of shipping costs and modifications to meet standards or is it mainly that middlemen just raise the price, or all those or something else?
