very much a trope now, but waitbutwhy on Elon companies back in 2015. I felt like I had to be a part of it and got me into STEM. Now I'm fully in STEM, went back to school to take a bunch of STEM fundamentals, got into CS, etc. https:

I set up wifi on 130 acres on a mix of solar and grid, wired Ethernet, "wireless" Ethernet, and mesh wifi. We have two shakey ISPs. I ping all network devices every ten minutes and plot the results over time. Has helped me tremen

Hey check out twistedfields.com We're trying make small farms more automated and enable them as economically feasable businesses. Our main project is a precision farming robot, and within the next year were hoping to ship dev kits

I'm definitely your target audience. For the past few months ive been super curious about crispr and just enrolled in OChem to try to really understand this stuff. I probably have all those misunderstandings. Any pointers?

I'm trying to learn Haskell, but don't know anything about app development. Ultimately, I want to iterate and use this project to learn how to write idiomatic, production quality Haskell, and learn app development. This is a draft

I'm self-taught too, and strictly interested in research-focused CS masters or PhD programs (as opposed to industry-focused cash-cows). I think I'm mostly interested in studying PL or program synthesis, but I'm also open to o

I think that CS vs SWE thing happens with a lot of people, and I got caught there, too. Luckily, I ended up really liking CS and it introduced me to the field, whereas otherwise I would've gone for SWE. There really needs to be a &#x27

I strongly recommend OSSU! Both books and MOOCs have their place, and sometimes a MOOC is easier to stay motivated, provided a schedule, and exercises of appropriate number and difficulty. I really like reading books too, but sometimes the

I just got hired on a ~100 acre farm to basically do this. We have one other person who's been working on a auto weed puller (autonomous driving over rows and computer vision to pick weeds). Would love to talk more about this! my email

I'd say you don't have to spend any money for some of the best classes, but it matters what you're interested in / specialty. Check out OSSU on GitHub for a lot of really good free courses. Only time I'd recommend s

See my comments above, but it seems like the line is whether the offspring will do that behavior even if isolated at birth. If they do, it's hard wired, if not, then it's learned.

Possibly, but I either interpreted, or heard this somewhere before, that turbulence is way harder to make sense of and predict (?). Not a physicist, but essentially that both are nuts, but that turbulence is even nuttier
