None of them if you need to do something like pivot tables with dynamic number of columns. Postgres has some half baked pivoting functionality library, but you MUST define the column names in advance, which kind of defeats the purpose of a

Thanks for doing this. This is something I've been looking for since ChatGPT was unveiled generally. I wish Feedly or a similar RSS/News-aggregator would add a feature like this ... it would make so much sense.

I also thought of fx322 and oto313 (from another lab). Hearing regeneration and tinnitus healing are those things that seem "achievable " but are way more complicated than it seems initially. The subreddit r/tinnitusresearch

I'm sorry you did. 20 years ago when I was young and naive I was very strong in ideologies too. In my case it was Linux and open source. I defended it blindly for a time. As I've grown up, now at 40 I understand more things about

People interviewing have to stand for themselves more. Several years ago, I was living in Germany looking to go back home later that year. I got into the interview process for a nice Silicon Valley startup (called Ooyala). After 3 phone in

I find it extremely sad that nowadays the EFF, FSF and ACLU are so watered down compared to the 90s (when I first read about abuses). With the wave of information and abuses that will come in the next years due to proprietary LLMs, i wish t

In Mexico you can buy a (private) head MRI scan with contrast for around $300 USD. It's really cheap. So theoretically you could do one every couple of months.

I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure. I like Samsung Health application and use it daily. I even had purchased something called RunKepper but stopped using it in favour of Samsung app.

I agree. I've been looking to train/fine-tune an LLM model myself but the corpus I want to provide is not in question/answer mode. Is there a way to train or fine-tune an LLM model using say only plain text files?

I was contacted by several people (including 2 YCombinator startups) in the past. In the end we didn't close with any of them, but they were good "leads". And for one of them I made a friend/acquintance in the other si

Thanks, this is a trivial thing IMHO. Worker violates working agreement, news at 11. All the other fluff is just yellow journalism. He uses GPt? Yawn... he publishes mainly as co-author? That's completely normal in academia, parti

I keep and keep saying that health insurance is a scam. Paying to a company for a service when their explicit objective is to AVOID providing that service or to minimize the money they spend is plain wrong. Even medical professionals are an

They can do it... it's as if Iran's government prosecutor body charged someone living in the US of "not wearing a burka" or whatever crazy law. They can definitely do it, and they can try to move strings to get to them.
