I also went back to Org-mode some years ago (most recently via Howm-mode). I loved what Logseq had to offer, and setup monthly donations for a while, but after the long period of apparent stagnation I lost faith and jumped ship. It’s sad be

Selection bias. The average scientist doesn’t write oversimplified popsci articles that go viral.

It seems everything has a use if you wait long enough. Number theory also seemed famously unapplyable until modern digital cryptography came along, and same with non-Euclidean geometry before general relativity.

Yes, you can subscribe to an arXiv RSS feed for your specific research field (or register to email notifications if you prefer that), and get an overview of everything going on in your field. In my field (condensed matter physics), most col

Note that fast breathing doesn’t necessarily mean high oxygen uptake. Deep breaths result in higher oxygen uptake (since you spend less time just moving the same stale air up and down your airways), and deep breaths are usually easier to pe

Which autocomplete mode? fido-vertical-mode, completion-preview-mode, or something else that I should maybe look into? I switched from vertico to fido-vertical myself, but still use company for in-buffer completions. I tried corfu and compl

I have been using VSCode for teaching the last few years, and routinely use a VSCode without plugins for that purpose, and Emacs keybindings work fine in its text area (the code editor itself). If it doesn’t work for you, then apparently so

Yes. For me, on all MacOS versions from Catalina to Sequoia, the basic Emacs keybindings listed here work almost* throughout the operating system: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102650 I don’t daily drive VSCode but

Those keybindings work on MacOS for me, but not on Linux (by default). There is a way to enable Emacs keybindings in all GTK apps on Linux, but it’s quite buggy in practice (many apps define keybindings that override or conflict with these)

In many countries, if a contract contains illegal clauses (i.e. requirements that are inconsistent with the law or public policy), that contract is considered void and unenforceable. It depends on "how illegal" each statement is,

Completely agreed. I would go further and say that it should be legal to scrape responses from LLMs to train new LLMs, and that forbidding that in your ToS should be considered an illegal contract. That’s simply the best way to avoid comp

That is perhaps fair, is that distinction common internationally? Again, in the universities I’ve been to, «applied math» and «statistics» have generally been placed under the department of mathematics. I myself am a physicist, and consider

Are you sure that’s «most» mathematicians? At the universities I’ve been to (as a student and now faculty), «applied mathematics» and «statistics» have been the two largest divisions. But perhaps that’s a bias from engineering-heavy univers

Okay. Do you then consider an equilibrium to be inherently unsustainable? If you take «growth» to be defined as d(something)/dt>0, I’d posit that any equilibrium by definition has zero net growth, whether it’s a static or dynamic eq

> helium not useful for much Maybe not for a chemist, but as a physicist it’s certainly useful. Liquid He cooling, Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, p-wave triplet pairing in He-3, etc. while being basically chemically inert!

To be fair, that one came from an editor not a physicist; the physicist wanted to call their book «the goddamn particle», and it got censored/editorialized to «the god particle».

Interesting. Someone should (or maybe have?) run a cluster analysis on the symptoms to define more specific subgroups. But I suppose getting access to the required health data at that scale is nontrivial?
