Working on a python library for combining shell commands and python functions with pipeline operator syntax. Hasn't progressed beyond an experimental prototype, some of the tests (i.e. test_bash_pipe.py) show how it works. - repo: htt

I can't say I know much about AI stuff or BEAM. But my best guess is that elixir native ML should integrate well with OTP's distributed computing capabilities. As an outsider to the elixir ecosystem, I've seen glimpses of eli

Is it a matter of not finding the problems solved by LAMP/js frameworks interesting? Or in the cases where you solve the same issues as the frameworks, are you not finding the upsides of using frameworks compelling enough to justify le

Could be worded better but I would interpret it as "No web development skills required to start developing web apps entirely in R/Python". You're still expected to learn web development but within the context of an R&#x2

I was about to disagree but the automated risk evaluation (ARE) part definitely qualifies your whole statement. Going to go off on a tangent: how do we introduce automated risk evaluation to environments outside of software development. Imp

Text-based interfaces still have the same issue with being able to make a typo or tab completing without checking. Seems like the major advantage is that these text based tools are able to be versioned well through scripts. This might be fi

Platforms such as Etsy, Gumroad and ironically Substack are significantly (if not totally) targeted towards the long tail. An argument can be made that these platforms are not successful enough to justify serving the long tail, but the auth

You can model passive circuits with RLC ordinary differential equations (depending on the setup of the equations there's some algorithms such as Runge Kutta to solve them numerically). Afaik you can model some active components with or

The water molecules aren't chemically bonded to the ions, but they are "bonded" by intermolecular forces. Although weaker than a chemical (intramolecular) bond, the intermolecular forces are still strong enough to "bond&

That's part of the issue in research though, you don't know what will have value. The actual problems that particle/nuclear physicists attempt to solve might not be valuable but the engineering required for the experimental a

With the dismal quality of search engines being a relatively common topic on HN, I could definitely see the role of reference librarian seeing a resurgence, with a stronger focus on internet based resources.

Is the ChatGPT threat to knowledge workers an actual threat (let's say in the timeframe of a decade) or only a perceived one? I don't think at the current performance of ChatGPT and similar models are enough to displace genius kno

From a brief look at the citations, there doesn't seem to be any scientific basis behind it. The cited patents are either from the same inventor, describe optical manipulation of the nervous system or are related to systems where EM hu

While resonance is possible, the resonating wave must still overcome the resistance (or whatever analagous "friction" like quantity for the system) in order for the amplitude of the wave. Given the loss from screen-to-skin propaga

I think its more a comment of how we should be open to people contributing to these efforts (while still being mindful of wild claims). While the concept of perpetual motion machines is flawed, the effort put into reducing kinetic energy lo

If you can afford to take a lower salary, you could try getting a position as research technician in an engineering lab. No guarantee that you'll develop the skills you want, but at least it would solve the problem of professor recomme

I think it's more about how can you make the most of your life despite being "pipelined". It's not realistic for everyone to pursue fulfillment by aiming to be world renowned in a specific area, for both the reasons you
