It depends on your perspective, but Facebook, Apple and Amazon all solved a very specific problem. Facebook helped you connect to young people at your school (and eventually beyond). Apple made it accessible to get into home computers in th

Look up Maria Montessori—she pioneered a structured and tangible way for kids to learn math concepts.

The underlying framework [0] looks nice—anyone else have experience with it? Seems like it could be an ideal fit for weekend projects.

That was my point—you can do all kinds of things on the web now, but people don’t really create these multi source meta-documents. Unless you count a TikTok embed or something.

It’s hard not to think this 90s “document turducken” trend was driven by engineers, rather than coming out of any real user need. We still don’t work this way, though it would be easier than ever now with web technology. It turns out, links

Set up a tripod and video camera and film for 2 hours to find out… I have a feeling this wouldn’t be tolerated anywhere.

"Log" is the term in video. You wouldn't spell out "Solid State Drive," would you?

CRTs absolutely DO "ghost." Much like turning off a filament light bulb, the phosphors respond instantly, but there's a long tail where they fade out. In practice, it's not perceptible, just as it's not perceptible

You must not have tried ProRes on the iPhone. ProRes HQ consumes around 1.7GB per minute, which is an order of magnitude more than the HEVC bitrates. Apple: "ProRes files are up to 30 times larger than HEVC files." [1] [1]: https

Context: I'm in the middle of adding Apple Log support to my photo/video processing app. The iPhone has incredible video quality, but you're right that the default Camera app botches it (or requires you to shoot ProRes HQ w

Not sure about 70b, but this is a really useful repo for fine-tuning the 7b models on M1 machines—and all the examples in the README seem to use 7b.

Yeah, it does appear to be a reiteration of Rec. 2100 / BT.2100. I wonder if it's because this refers to still images rather than video?

Yung Porcine Plasma is my rap name! Interesting research though—it's the first time I've heard of an "epigenetic clock."

Yeah, seems like a glaring omission?

It all depends on what we mean by "hybrid." If it means going into the office to use Zoom, then no thank you. Remote is draining but convenient, in-person collaboration is energizing but inconvenient. Hybrid done wrong is the wors

Solved with a chalk holder!

Yes! Not to mention, chalk is a simple nontoxic product made from abundant natural resources, while dry erase markers are plastic waste. It's so unnecessary.

Sometimes even something that seems positive (like organization or project management) can be a form of avoidance. That's why the concept of "workability" can be helpful. When you find yourself spending time on project manage

People seem to love their Prusa machines… I've seen that brand mentioned by people who run 10+ machines for small-scale production runs. Can you add any color about why you chose Prusa, and how you view them within the broader market?

Weird question, but: what do you search for? I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back but I’m not a heavy searcher. I would be curious to know your typical use cases!

I definitely knew at least one engineer who learned to read their binary watch. The goal was absolutely social. It's a conversation-starter, for a crowd that, let's face it, could use more practice having conversations. You'r

I used Sendgrid as part of a RocketChat install in 2021, and the deliverability was atrocious. I vowed to never use it again, but haven’t explored alternatives recently. What options are you looking at?

So CEOs can definitely wreck a company, but they’re all interchangeable? Not sure I follow. Everyone is replaceable, but some people are simply better suited for their role than others.
