Sorry about the late response, the listing that I bought is this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804264671858.html I didn't bother to mess around with mounting, I just used command strips to attach the dri

This comment hits the nail on the head. Another big consideration with the technology in this paper that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is that it opens up a huge range of possibilities for targeting "undruggable" prote

There are two semi-connected concepts at play here. Polarization in this context refers to the ratio of neutralizing (i.e. "up" vs "down") spins in a given system. For most nuclei in organic systems like protons, carbons

I solved this with a ~$200 driver board from AliExpress. I love the result because it's thinner than any other monitor that I own and I can swap between my MacBook Pro and my desktop machine (running either Windows or Linux). Obviously

My guess is that this area is much harder to break into–enzymes facilitate challenging chemical transformations by stabilizing high-energy transition states in chemical reactions. These states are usually highly transient and therefore much

Looking forward to walking to the corner store in my Arc'teryx x Kith exoskeleton. Jokes aside, this is really cool. I hope I won't need one for a while, and look forward to the engineering improvements when I do need one.

I wonder how this will compare to Arc's "Browse for me" feature–at least for a single search (I don't thing the chat-based interface will be much of a value add here beyond just running a second "Browse for me"

I've done this and it's amazing-it's the only monitor that I can use for my workstation (Linux/Windows) and my laptop (macOS) because even the (relatively) cheap LG UltraFine monitors don't work with the Nvidia GPU

This would be cool if it weren’t so heavy-handed—a similar application to add tags to files or some metadata that could be indexed by Alfred or Rofi would be cool.

One option would be to start from what you already know–there are many opportunities to apply CS to life/physical sciences problems. I like rosalind.info, you can start with code and then read independently to fill in any gaps in your

This only holds true for research that doesn't require a lab.

Like most cool biotechnology tools like this, the hangups will probably come from ironing out safety, dosing, and delivery issues in the clinic, rather than some mismatch in the biochemistry. They mention one of them in the paper: In th

Even just storing family photos would require DNA sequences that are orders of magnitude larger than the human genome, so you're going to be looking at very expensive or very time consuming read/write (and certainly no instant rea

I've done something similar, but with a ticket stabber like the one that you find in restaurants. The satisfaction of stabbing a post-it makes writing the post-it worth it in the first place. I might try this task-based approach.

Not criticizing your take, just curious–grades and GPA have never been a primary factor for any of the PhD admissions committees that I've been on or exposed to. Usually other factors like research experience, letters of rec, and other

Even leaving aside arguments for the viability of extraterrestrials coming to our planet and then accidentally being detected by us, I rarely see anyone discuss the boring human aspect of stories like this–namely that there is simply no way

I was always under the impression that Donald Knuth “invented” notebooks in 1984¹. Maybe Mathematica was the first to implement it, but that’s not the impression you get from the article. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Yes, I agree with this. I'll only be buying one of these if it means I can replace my work displays with it–I'd happily pay the exorbitant price if it meant being able to have the equivalent of an unlimited high-res display anywhe

I think the difference is that the digital wool fools us into thinking, at least at some level, that we're being productive. It's much easier to pull yourself away from the TV to "do" something because watching TV genuin
