He's probably mostly thinking about AI 2027 and comparing his predictions to theirs. Since he did a podcast with them a few months ago. Compared to that 2032 is not right around the corner.

Wikipedia says "In 1912, American Dr. Isaac Adler was the first to strongly suggest that lung cancer is related to smoking." but I guess there could be other less strong suggestions before then. Regardless, I think it is true that

A century ago, the idea that smoking causes cancer was quite new and was decades away from being conclusively proven.

This doesn't answer the question though. Like okay, everyone ignored "do not track". So the correct response is to make an even more annoying system that can also be ignored just as easily as "do not track"? And bef

For someone thinking about grad school who does not want to go into academia as a career, a PhD advisor with industry experience is not a bad idea. They will understand what you need to succeed in industry and have connections. Might be eas

The uterus is not the only thing involved in infertility. More generally, endometriosis probably affects fertility in multiple different ways, and a woman with endometriosis and fertility issues may never know what her specific problem is.

To be fair, it's also plummeted pretty much anywhere without a socialized retirement system too.

I will give you credit for having an explanation that at least makes more sense than "the diversity statement is just for fun and doesn't do anything", which is the explanation that I usually hear! But yeah I am aware that th

Yeah anecdotes don't tell you much. You may have noticed I was also replying to an anecdote. What tells you more is that the diversity statement exists and they say it's used as part of scoring. Therefore, unless the amount of sco

Yeah that's what I would have done. Don't get me wrong, I am very anti MAGA! Which is kind of crazy... I'm here on the Internet ranting about DEI, and the MAGA movement is still toxic enough to completely alienate me. MAGA is

I could never get beyond "honorable mention" for the NSF GRFP. I found the diversity part of it most difficult to write. Like honestly my research had nothing to do with diversity and I'm not an underrepresented minority myse

They didn't explicitly ask for a home address, just a physical address. But for a hobbyist dev, home address is probably all you have so effectively that's what they're asking for. Or for you to rent an office somewhere, whic

It's not just getting a DUNS number. You also need to consent to having your home address (no PO box or virtual mailbox, needs to be a physical address for your "business") listed publicly on the DUNS website and on all your

idk, your code is 170 lines, html2canvas and similar are 1 line to use.

Looks cool, somebody should make a package that puts a nice API around it. However seems that those APIs are only in Chrome now, not Firefox or Safari.

I've been using html2canvas for a long time in https://play.basketball-gm.com/ so I gave your library a try. It was much slower (I know your README has benchmarks saying the opposite so idk) and the result looked a lot
