I really like the ideas in Annie Duke's "Thinking in Bets". The book would suggest that the rightness of a decision shouldn't vary much with the outcome (or with time). The book suggests that we judge the quality of the

Whatever Clickup uses for their Clickup docs, it reliably gets into a confused state and data is lost, during which not all editors show the same state locally.

Tonic.ai seemed to fit that bill, but we ended up rolling our own ETL job due to cost concerns, and some security preferences for a simple to audit tool to do this. tonic.ai does it on-the-fly, which was merely a nice-to-have for this use c

There was a pretty fun Radiolab episode ( https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91569... ) that suggested that the process of recall changes memories, and that they are susceptible to change wh

I'm not sure exactly what you believe, but since you're talking about information storage, can I ask if you mean for working memory or for long-term memory? For long-term memory, the storage is durable and mostly static, while rec

The headline says working memory, not long-term episodic memory, but the comments (and headline) here don't seem to distinguish between the two. We can disrupt short term memories in a variety of ways. When memories consolidate, they m

Forgive me, because I still am unsure: can a bot in Slack be given permission to create channels, read from, and delete only the channels it creates? Or must one give the Axolo bot permissions to all public channels in a slack workspace?

I thought street crime was a pretty terrible business for most? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UGC2nLnaes Also, bank robbery isn't usually very lucrative, and they've made it harder and less lucrative over time.

I wonder what we've lost ever since Adam Smith started bemoaning the practice of apprenticeships. 7 years under a master could give a person a very solid understand of the topography of their field, where their weak points are, and how

I appreciate the intentions behind this bill, and I'm sure we'll find far more corruption than we ever expected through this bill. I'm reminded of the Patriot Act, and the ways the data collected were used (beneficially), and

In the Bay Area, it’s more like $60-120/sqft/yr, and that’s triple net. Add in 50-100% because you need walkways and such between offices, bathrooms, security, mail room, IT, and other common areas. Then add more for building oper

Back in 2008, I was fascinated by TeXmacs’ sessions concept. You could mix rich text with Python, or SAGE. This is long before the days of jupyter and I thought it was the coolest thing. Since TeXmacs isn’t TeX, and people weren’t looking f

No worries! I have no problem with the paper authors. Most of the authors on the paper come from neurosurgery/neurology, and I don't doubt for one second that they have a strong grasp of "I can mess with the human brain in th

I hadn't read the paper, just the article. Which is primarily what I was commenting on. When I read "now researchers have identified cells in the human brain that make this sort of memory possible", I was lead to believe that

The years I've gone to SFN, I've been amazed at how fragmented the field is. People get into neuroscience from all sorts of places. Neurosurgery, C. elegans research, optogenetic studies, fmri studies, biochemistry: these approach

I thought we had discovered pacemaker cells over 20 years ago. I'd be very surprised if that didn't already factor into hypotheses of how episodic memory is ordered. Either this article is disingenuous, or neuroscience suffers fro

To be fair, Dropbox works pretty well as a backup (with the ability to restore deleted files via the web UI), as long as you catch it in the 30 day window. When I worked there, I was surprised to learn that they also often act as mitigation

The Vimeo video says that spinal cord injury affects ~300,000 people in the US, and also says that's 2% of the population. Is that percentage referring to something else, or is that a typo?

This is going to appear nitpicky, but the average preference is some average gray, neither dark nor light. The mode is light. That relates back to the fighter jet thing: if you’re going to build a non-adjustable cockpit, build one that fits
