I mean, I’d argue that the overwhelming majority of the populous is not doing physical activity as they should. Even in a future with gym “for the mind”, I also assume attendance to be low.

So at the beginning of the story you started with a rented space you and others practice yoga, and the end result is that you lost your practice room, without gaining anything else other then… slightly more confidence? Is there supposed to

I absolutely disagree with this. All the things the author said will still exist and keep on existing. Nothing will prevent you from typing “JavaScript with your hands”, from “holding code in our hands and molding it like clay…”, and all th

In 2015, Microsoft Labs produced another (and their final entry) into their "Future Vision" series. I would say this offers a "genuine" glimpse into what those in 2015 would expect 2025 to be.

I think what we should really ask ourselves is: “Why do LLM experiences vary so much among developers?” The simplest explanation would be “You’re using it wrong…”, but I have the impression that this is not the primary reason. (Although, as

This is not the point of the author. The author is criticising the new redesign of the latest iOS/MacOS/WatchOS 26, as being of poor choice with an over focus on form in detriment of function. Also, to which aspects are you refere

Anecdotally, I had a myocardial infarction at 23, and I was honestly surprised to learn that it wasn’t already well known that infectious diseases could trigger such events. Up until that point, I’d never had any heart-related issues, nor d

I’m not sure whether I find it more worrisome or fascinating that we live in a world where a company that, as far as I know, has never generated a single dollar in revenue has managed to exist for over five years, employ more than 100 peopl

I spent a good amount of time last year working on a system to analyse patent documents. Patents are difficult as they can include anything from abstract diagrams, chemical formulas, to mathematical equations, so it tends to be really trick

What I find absolutely infuriating is that Abott (Freestyle Libre 1-3 devices) region locks their monitoring app depending on your region. My father is T1 is uses the Libre CGM system for a couple years now. Libre users in the US and Europe

> Bazzite is pointless and a total waste of time. Nobody should use it. Bazzite, as far as I am aware, is closest thing that you can get from a console-like experience for a HTPC*. Although it is possibly to configure Bazzite to launch d

If you're serious about using SteamOS for your gaming computer or home theater PC, I highly recommend Bazzite. Bazzite is a Linux operating system, built on SteamOS, that's designed to make it easy to use with different hardware a

I have the impression that (although I did not check for data beforehand to confirm my assumptions) that gun violence is very low in developed countries, with the USA being the outlier. I believe the overall positive employer-employee relat

I really like the idea of shifting the business model for office software. Instead of the current model—where companies develop a tool, lock users into their ecosystem, and profit by bundling software with hosting and storage—we could move

Very nice tool! Just last week, I was working on extracting information from PDFs for an automation flow I’m building. I used Unstructured ( https://unstructured.io/ ), which supports multiple file types, not just PDFs. Howev

I think that focusing primarily on the discussion of what is or isn't open source software makes us miss an interesting point here, that Llama enables users to have a similar performance to frontier models in your own systems, without

It sounds very misleading to frame those responsible for storming into the Congress on January 8th, while attempting to "stop the steal" that the elections supposedly were, as simply "at best rioters, to 17 years in prison be

I completely agree, and I think this idea applies to a lot of different ventures. In my experience working with technology founders, especially those in academia, there's a common belief that having a great idea is all it takes—that as

I am glad to hear that workers rights are being enforced in Europe. As an employee in Germany, it sounds deranged to receive an email saying I have one day to completely change my work contract, or be fired from my job.

I don't understand your line of thought. The question with Kim was not about open-source, was about copyright and intellectual property all along. As other comments noted, the man literally made millions distributing copyrighted materi

Hi Josh and Tom, thank you for the post. Are there any plans on releasing any sort of API integration? I work in Technology Transfer consultancy for research institutes in Europe, and often we have to do manual evaluation of publications fo
