I've been using PureRef for years now and it's pretty much done, so I'm not too worried it's not being maintained.

Seems like it would a great addition to Plex. I can already share libraries with friends/families, would be awesome to have a VR client and an option to add someone.

That'd imply it's okay to put smokers in cages without cigarettes until they've stopped smoking and I'd suggest that that's fucking insane. We've discovered another dimension!

The problem is we taught AI to make art before we taught it to make useful work. so when it finally catches up and we all have free time, but are we supposed to do? Just yell prompts into SD-9000?

Sad to see it's still LCD so you don't get actual blacks. Any word on if it still feels like having a scuba mask on or if you can see in the periphery?

The book "The Road to Eleusis" has some proof, obviously it's a biased interpretation but it's still interesting to consider.

I'd say it's more akin to having Dostoevsky with easier vocabulary and grammar, or a Crib's note version that condenses it so you don't have to rid all 840 pages of Brothers Karamazov

I hate this position. Imagine someone ranting about MKULTRA if the CIA never acknowledged it. Imagine it was just some papers on the internet with no providence. I like to think of it as a matter of diversity of though. We need the "cr

That's the takeaway from "Betting on Zero". I kept watching to see the moment when the Ponzi scheme falls apart and Bill Ackman comes out vindicated, and it never came. It really is the case that "The market can stay irr

I'm noticing a lot of interesting extensions coming out for Blender, especially in the Retogo and skinning area which was always a headache. I guess being able to code in Python instead of MaxScript or MEL (althought it looks like Maya

I don't know if it's been debunked, but I like the analogy of the Hygiene hypothesis and increased allergies. If you disinfect and sterilize everything you don't train your immune system and are at risk for allergies, but if

I keep hearing about Park Geun-hye and all the crazy allegations, but it's always snippets like these or a reddit post, is there a good comprehensive resource that covers everything? Or should I wait for the eventual book to come out?

Same, I haven't listened to Radiohead in almost a decade and thought I would never spot it, but when it came on I got a huge smile on my face right away.

Which Headset? I’d love to do this but most VR owners say the DPI is still not there for small text and it’s too cumbersome to keep wearing for hours.

I wonder if any of the benefits of walking carry over to biking? I've basically given up walking to always biking but after reading "Deep Work" I'm starting to feel like I'm missing out by not rambling around and zo

My high school science teacher explained it well with something a long the lines of "You can't grog it since you're big and stupid". Technically even normal measurement is action at a distance since we're collapsing

Not even that is enough because you might end up with the filling drawer problem. For example you might end up with 50 people trying to replicate it, 49 failing and 1 "succeeding" by chance. The 49 won't publish because they

Disappointed in the cycling directions. I tried it in Toronto and it gave me a route the ignored a road that had a dedicated bike lane and directed me to a busy narrow road where you have to share with the cars.
