"I have a rail line right under my apartment, so I built a small computer vision app running on a Rasperry Pi which records each train passing, and tries to stitch an image of it.

It has a frontend at https://trains.jo-m.ch/"

Here's the thing. I think this confusion is ubiquitous in the medical literature

Some paper shows that there is a statistically significant difference in groups.

It may or may not be making misleading claims about how this implies mechanism, even though the data themselves reveal massive overlap in group trait values. Either way, subsequent citations uncritically state mechanism has been established. And a false fact is canonized.

This is why Sam's paper is my must-read paper of the month.

My team asked me to create a demo and tutorial on anything I wanted, and I chose multiplayer VR, because I thought it would be a good learning opportunity.

I've never regretted anything so much in my entire life 🫠

We've talked of booting Linux off of APFS some day, which would be cursed enough... but I raise you booting Windows off of btrfs.

Cursed.

I also edit my .emacs file in vim just because this makes people angry.

#AutismAcceptanceMonth

(1/6) I am currently trying to become a Shared Living Provider (SLP) for my friend Aaron who has been diagnosed with “a teeny bit of #autism” (Aaron’s words). Aaron and I have been friends since 5th grade (2003).

From the leopards-eating-faces department: In 48 hours, Matt Taibbi went from Elon Musk's hand-picked propagandist to being unfollowed by Musk, completely de-boosted in the Twitter feed, and announcing his departure from Twitter after Musk rendered Substack links completely inaccessible from the bird app.

Incredible and yet somehow predictable turn of events here catalogued by @mmasnick, who writes "The refrain to remember with Twitter under Elon Musk: it can always get dumber". https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/10/after-matt-taibbi-leaves-twitter-elon-musk-shadow-bans-all-of-taibbis-tweets-including-the-twitter-files/

Does this guy not know that he's putting AI-powered "full self-driving" cars on the road based on literally the argument in this meme...

@inthehands @conniptions @mekkaokereke and due to the fact that cd quality audio is outside the bounds of human hearing, we’ll never actually notice that quantization noise. 16-bit audio has a 96dB dynamic range (well enough to blow your eardrums out), and 44.1kHz accounts for nyquist-shannon at the maximum of human hearing plus a bit for the high pass rolloff at the top. audiophiles who claim otherwise are victims of pseudoscience and placebo marketing

Threw together quick and dirty program that gives me a counterexample to the claim that sets with the Jaccard metric are embeddable in Euclidean space: https://gist.github.com/vhxs/6c01f4093e5492cc606d840dfa052038

Program halts almost immediately. I would expect that most such spaces can't be embedded in \( \mathbb{R}^n \).
