I hope you never have to work with serial D9 cables. The variation of pinouts for legacy equipment is massive! Pretty sure every theoretical variation became some standard.

Yea I’m looking local hosted transcription and translation with diarization of 2 (or more ) speakers. This is to speed up collaborative technical work between two teams who speak different languages where want all local processing (assume n

Any that also support translation? How much harder/ easier of a problem is local translation compared to transcription?

99% of this is the printhead and the ink formulation. Assuming you use generic off the shelf solutions for those two components you’re set. All the printer companies do their lock in at the firmware and software layer.

I did when I was in academia. Would open each day and check what new papers were in my field. It was fun, and I learned a ton. I kept it up out of habit for a year after grad school. Then moved on.

And the biggest thing is that: software the way we want is much easier. No ads. No monthly cost.

You’ve not accounted for the danger of necrotizing bureaucratic systems. Put these LLM drones in enough places and everything wills stagnate. It’s effectively the start to Asimovs Foundation.

I do agree my skepticism level rises extremely high in any experimental psychology experiment. There’s just so many ways to bias results, in addition to “do enough experiments and one of them will get a statistically unlikely result” proble

I did daily (old station wagon in the rear facing seat), as well as school buses. Kindof liked the smell in moderation as a kid. Still in favor of EVs, just a curiosity that this is so negative for you.

It’s great place for grad school. Very little to do other than study and lab work. Play soccer with the grad students, float on the river in the summer, shoot potato gun cannons in corn fields, but otherwise there’s nothing better to do tha

This is the attitude of someone who uses hand tools when power tools are available. Yes you loose the personal touch but also loose the potential efficiency. Still need to measure twice and cut once though.

Amazon prime video showed us that. First no ads. Then ad free if you pay extra. Then “ad free” except half the shows have a “this show requires ads” bs and still have ads. Scummy flea ridden advertisers at their core.

It’s pretty much always who you know… at least to get a showing. It’s rare in history to find counter examples. And in a LLM fueled world it’s going to be more important. Companies can improve by ensuring they don’t hire _because_ of whom s

You have experience in 2 very different places demographically. High altitude may be on the list of factors but I would guess it’s pretty far down. Boulder is a small college town of mostly affluent younger people. Memphis is an urban cit

I’ll be concerned when ex-Yelp “growth strategists” start showing up at OpenAI and leverage the same extortionist technics.

This is an engineering management hot take on how to motivate a team. It’s not realistically covering burnout, human psychology, or what makes us human and tick. It’s just giving management advice with a flashy title. It’s not necessarily b

When you become a good enough IC, “ As an engineer, I prefer to be managed and guided by someone who actually knows what I work on, preferably better than I know it.” is no longer reasonable. Then your managers role is to maximize your abil

For people I talk, it is the end of ZIRP that caused it. ZIRP ended in April 2022. Even as interest rates went up the VCs still had committed funds to distribute for a year to 18 months. Then the biotechs had runway for 1-2 years from that.

Biotech is facing a huge downturn right now too.

Fujifilm succeeded at it (before Kodak tried). Interesting case study between the two companies.

The overlap of statisticians and baseball fans is high (anecdotal). Hypothesis 1: statisticians love good data sources, and with its many games, innings, and types of hits / pitches it’s a great source. Hypothesis 2: makes you seem mor

They make it seem like a big deal. It’s pretty much how all software used to ship :)

You’ve taken a very small slice of the total workflow to develop cas9 crispr edits. Yes some components are “not crazy expensive”, but that’s not therapeutic production levels. And no sequencing. And no bioinformatics. And then zero tissue

Yes. Aldevron and IDT are two companies (owned by danaher) that collaborated to make this happen. They have multiple authors listed in the NEJM article. https://jobs.danaher.com/global/en/search-results?keywords=S.
