How does Zotero compare to Paperpile these days? When I first found Paperpile, I was astonished how seamless the browser extension based citation and PDF auto-import worked and never looked back. But I imagine Zotero has come a long way as

Congratulations Lachy and the π team! This strikes me as a guide star for neuroscience (for me at least): understanding how the brain achieves physical intelligence. Clearly our brain learns and masters skills by distilling and transferring

I used pipes back in college to randomize our roommate ordering in picking dorm rooms. I had it take the top headline on The NY Times website, hash it, and pull out numbers from 1-6 in a deterministic way. It was the best way I could think

Years ago I wrote an oscilloscope-style monitor for an ATI load cell using ImGUI in the early days. This library would have been extremely useful. Kudos! Screenshot: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/77752&#x2F

Not really. Lots of neurons in this part of the brain modulate their activity to movement in heterogeneous ways. The algorithm details vary, but at some level you’re trying to find a 2d x/y velocity signal encoded in the 200d neural si

Does anyone know of a way to guard rclone passwords that would be stored in rclone.conf? Is it possible to leverage the keychain or this tool for this? Typically passwords for sftp logins are stored with a reversible hash (see `rclone revea

Exactly. I believe the 60 million infections delta was estimated for April 6th (figure 4), so the counterfactual would be considerably worse as of today.

They're not transcribing it, so much as selecting the keys one would need to press in order to type the text. That is, the correct key lights up, and they move the cursor and mentally "click" to select it. This serves two pur

Just to add clarification points, the term optogenetics is generally supposed to refer to any gene transfection that involves optical access, but in practice there are two separate categories: * optogenetic stimulation: using light-activate

It's a great question, and I think this is a pretty good insight into the general state of the field of neuroscience at the cellular level. We know a lot of details about things going on inside neurons, and a lot of details about syna

Sometimes results won't replicate because the people or equipment at the second lab aren't skilled enough to do the experiment correctly. You can get type II errors on difficult tests because of impurities, noise, etc. But most of
