   That's an interesting thread. Thanks for sharing. Not sure if asking about his take on AI will lead anywhere though as that's not really his thing. But I'll explore the area when we talk about Turing (his other book is the An

   I'm going to be interviewing Charles next week for my podcast. Are there questions that you'd like me to ask him?

   Yep. But I also use it as a stills camera and a video camera. And you should see the lens that I have mounted to it :) But that's not what I do for a living. Because of that, the camera would otherwise sit on a shelf, unused. I use it

   My anecdata: the McDonald's in my area still hasn't opened up its in-restaurant seating because they can't staff it. Drive-through only.

   Yeah, it's not actually for a teleprompter - I'm using it as my zero-parallax video conferencing solution with a Canon R5 as my webcam. I'm currently using an 11" iPad Pro using the excellent Duet Display software which

   Thanks! From the manual, it looks like it only has support for rotation and not the flipping.

   How do you mount it to a tripod? Also do you know if you can horizontally flip the image so it could be used with a teleprompter?

   Sorry for your loss. So happy that you were able to get some of his story. Are you planning to do something with your recordings? For others who might read this, I started doing this with my Mom and Dad (they're in fine health despite

   I'm waiting on a Corolla right now. Found a dealer who will sell for MSRP. But ... there are no cars. Every Corolla that you see on Autotrader as new right now, with few exceptions, was sold months ago and they're using the listin

    Thanks for the insight about annotation platforms! How might Excel have been better for you in these tasks? Or put another way, in the first case of merging 25 files - did you wind up using a different tool to merge and then re-opening them

    What level (title is fine)? What team? I can try to help point you at some folks in Windows though it's been a while since I worked in that org. You can reach me via contact info in my profile if you don't mind decloaking.

    You're absolutely right! I don't know what I was thinking here - I blame my supervisor :) One of the other things that my old research group did was crosslinking of hemoglobin which has iron as its central atom vs. magnesium in ch

    The article says “2015 Tesla”. The picture is of a hatchback. What do you think it is?

    This was a 2015 Model S by the looks of it, so no FSD. Likely the MobilEye AP system if that was being used at time of crash.

    I remember listening to one of the Lex Fridman interviews with Jim Keller where he said that modern branch prediction in CPUs was now done by “neural nets” in silicon. Does anyone here have any insight into this?

    I hope that the free web apps option works for this group of folks. I don't work for the Office org, but I'll see if I can't figure out a way to channel your suggestion about online community engagement to someone who can do

    Office web apps are free with OneDrive and 5GB storage. $20/yr for 100GB. Office 365 personal is $70/yr. What would you rather see instead? Disclosure: I work for Microsoft.
