Let's assume that you mean activation patterns at the level of single cells. Aside from the ethical issues which make it virtually impossible to obtain the full set of data, there is also the fact that the exact timing…
This is incorrect. You can write a parser for org. See for example https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry. Work toward standardization has been stalled because I (among others) have not had time to circle back to work on it.…
A great related article on mammalian megafauna and plants. https://www.americanforests.org/article/the-trees-that-miss-...
I wonder if there are existing data sources that could be used to implement an optimal pot hole patching priority lists at scale. Identify pot hole locations. Combine with traffic metrics for those locations. Then use a…
One way to work around the heat dissipation issues in space (and also on earth) is to move to computing systems that operate entirely at cryogenic temperatures to take advantage of superconducting circuitry. I've heard…
It is [0]. All the pages are generated from org sources. If you scroll to the bottom of any page there is a link. Also tec used to have an overlay that would show you the org source directly, but ultimately it was…
This points to a potential answer to a long standing question I've had about why some hairs stop growing at certain lengths. If the force is being generated by cellular migration then control over when to stop growing…
I like to compare these to CENTENNIA [0,1], which was the first program like this that I ever encountered (back in 6th grade). My test, is to see whether the program records the Napoleonic wars. This one does not. 0.…
A fully psychometric version of this that explores more than just the fovea could be created by varying the scale parameter (if you crank it up high enough you can see the movement in the periphery). The additional…

One science museum that is not like that is the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, at least when I was there (shudder) about a decade ago. It was a museum that was designed for parents to explain to children. The written…
I think about this every single time I drive by a stretch of road that has these. You can't have public goods when the value of those goods in private hands is greater than the risk of, ahrm, converting those public…
I'm going to ignore the issues of mind/body dualism since they are orthogonal to the argument I want to make about Nagel's bat. The short version is that if we can approximate the sensory experience and the motor…
Just walk up to the gate of your nearest Concent next Apert and they will take you right in! Actually, I don't know how you join the Ita now that you mention it.
Given that blue books are likely to make a comeback in college as one solution to AI based cheating, I think that rumors of handwriting's death are somewhat exaggerated. Unfortunately that means that the ability to…
This would seem to be a direct corollary to the red queen hypothesis applied in the context corporations instead of species. That is, in a competitive environment you have to keep spending R&D dollars to stay in the…
I think there is an unspoken implication built into the assumption that AI will be able to replace a wide variety of existing jobs, and that is that those current jobs are not being done efficiently. This is sometimes…
I highly recommend watching [0] for an introduction to Coalton in the context of CL. Specifically it provides an excellent example of how the type system makes the language more expressive (by making it more composable)…
One thing I find amusing about generation ships is that the prerequisite understanding of systems ecology, biology, political organization, etc. required to actually make them successful completely obviates the need to…
Yes, have been using Flask on PyPy3 for years. I get about a 4x speedup.
The relation of these results to natural short sleep [0] is of great interest. In particular the observation that individuals with these mutations also appear to be protected from Alzheimer's disease. A strong…
Minor factual correction. Octopuses are not color blind, they only have a single photo receptor opsin but likely reconstruct color using chromatic aberration in combination with diffraction caused by their pupil shape…
For at least the "keep secrets out of version control" I implemented a python library (and racket library) that has served me well over the years for general configuration [0]. One key issue is that splitting general…
That is indeed the example they mention in the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.19244.
This is yet another case where my policy of stripping out unnecessary dependencies has paid off. thunar-volman and kde solid both pull in udisks by default but back in 2017 I started maintaining a fork of the default…
