Well, it depends on the audience of your software. Bloomberg Terminal is awesome, but has a steep learning curve. Most people who learn to use it are learning it with the specific intention of finding a job where they are paid to know how t

What LLM are you currently using? And how do you prevent against hallucinations/drift when generating content of this length? Do you start by asking the model to generate an outline of a book, and then have it expand on each chapter wi

I still use a 2014 macbook air as my home server. It was my daily driver for 7 years. No complaints, still works perfectly. Haven't been careful with it either.

They're grown from stem cells. Neuro-ethics (especially the ethics around using brain organoids) is an entire field of research. Although brain organoids exhibit neural connections and electrical activity, they have so far failed to fo

Are there any good resources for understanding models like this? Specifically a "protein language model". I have a basic grasp on how LLMs tokenize and encode natural language, but what does a protein language actually look like?

Get a sleep study done. Lofta will ship you an at-home test. Sleep apnea will leave you feeling unrefreshed no matter how much sleep you get, and it will only get worse without a CPAP or other aid.

I would love to see a comparison of the average amount of trash (especially plastic waste) the average American homeowner produces vs the average European homeowner. I bet the difference is astonishing.

$60 + lost income for a student who works outside school hours and also has to take the test outside school hours + transportation which could be over an hour in rural areas and you can see how this could quickly add up, especially for a te

Absolutely agree. If these tests are not offered in the school during normal school hours, students should receive compensation for taking the test. It's bonkers to me that students have to pay to take it. Travel should also be provide

Not a dumb question, I’m assuming it’s been treated with flame-retardant chemicals, but I’m surprised that it’s fireproof-ness wasn’t addressed in the article.

I would strongly suggest reading “Time Loops” by Eric Wargo if you’re interested in investigating this feeling more. There are many (documented!) instances of people “remembering” and dreaming about real events in their lives that haven’t y

QR codes. Look into the Museum of Danish Resistance, they have implemented a really impressive guide app (on a device they hand you when you walk in), which you use to scan QR codes and listen to audio narration as you walk through the muse

This is an awesome project, I would love to do something similar for my community. Great UX design too. FYI, the trends and weather modals aren't loading data (possibly because of the darksky.net API cutoff?)

Slate readers are the only people who would rather read a book called "Hanging Out" instead of just... hanging out.

What neighborhood did you move to in NYC? I'm in NYC now and considering signing a 1 bedroom lease here, but the avg price in Manhattan/Brooklyn seems to be $3500 a month which is pushing me toward living in DC instead.

Completely anecdotal, but this does seem to be a North American issue, I did a two week roadtrip through Croatia this year and I had to stop just to clean bugs off the car more often than stopping just for gas. I've done quite a few ro

I believe Ryan Graves has stated that he's willing to testify if Senate holds a hearing on UAPs. It's incredibly frustrating reading these accounts of powered, maneuvering UAPs flying 30 feet from the aircraft without having any a
