this is with out a doubt the saddest excuse for "scientific discovery" i've ever read. even if there is novelty and eventual value from this line of inquiry, the excruciating lack of rigor, methods, or disclosure has francis bacon rolling in his grave.

grow up anthropic.

wow I hadn't heard of this but it's quite cool. aka Nano-Thermite

Thought I was going insane today.

You guys need to work on harder problems.

since this is a bit of a catch-all thread, i'll toss Anton into the ring: a whole bunch of custom ASICs to do Molecular Dynamics simulations from D.E. Shaw Research

not hating on the great amber - but why LEaP on the front page of HN with no context...?

happy to see some light shown on the grim state of comp chem file formats and their shockingly lossy interconversion but I'm not sure that was the OP's intent?

long time windows user that switched to mac due to Apple Silicon dominance on the laptop experience.

This, 1000x this.

It's utterly bizarre that the window management paradigm is "let 'em all stack up and make it easy to spread 'em all out"

At first I thought I didn't get the paradigm. Now I get that I don't get the idea behind the paradigm.

Rectangle (pro version) fixes some of this and adds some really cool features. And because of the Apple app hegemony, it does work nearly OS level good. But why, oh why does this have to be 3rd party?

It's like some any UX pattern baked in since Lisa?

this was an awesome, non-snarky, explanatory comment. thanks for this.

except that you still use command to copy and paste in the terminal

agreed, the fold under makes me use the side of my thumb on command which is much less natural or tactile than stretching my pinky to use the pad.

I immediately had to get Karibiner to at least give me my home and end keys back on a external keyboard.

I've been to aggressively remapping that I don't then create a similar problem when using another machine I don't own but maybe I'll give in and go the more custom route

well [ctrl] + <down arrow, F4, F5> are used for window management by default

agreed, I'm almost to muscle memory with it so it's not the "i have to think about it" annoyance, it's that my whole hand has to move to make it work... noticeably slower than my windows workflows..

just me typing too quickly for my own brain, thanks for the correction!

cool i'll check out raindrop, thanks for the tip!

but i just wish there were some talented engineering teams at the leading browser creators (cough couch google, mozilla, MS, apple, etc) that would integrate this as a first class feature. a design goal, not a supported extension.

savage. but case and point!

i always heard it called the birthday problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

[weirdly, someone discovered an birthday overlap today at work and i just re-google/wiki'd this today]

> If someone criticizes your paper, and it gets pulled from publication, then thats the same as having never published anything in the first place. Therefore, the technique to survival is to write your paper in such a way that repels criticism as much as possible.

Not trying to be snarky, but that's not how publishing works.. you don't get a paper retracted for criticism, you get it retracted if there was scientific malfeasance. And retractions are actually exceedingly rare.

In fact having criticism / debate around your paper is a great way to get more citations, the real publication currency in academia...

When I read web3 co.'s product/ tech description it almost always feels like some form of tech. literacy gaslighting. I always feel initially like there's something elusive that I'm not grokking b/c I'm not a blockchain zealot.

Then I sit back and realize that it's usually because most of the examples I read are trying to solve non-technical problem (attribution, trust, etc.) with a buzzy tech solution all wrapped in a serious bit of speculation.

I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the tech of our law, banking, and logistics systems (COBOL--> anything else?), but the kneejerk to some "decentralized" system that needs total but in from it's participants to work actually seems more fragmented and fragile than our current institutions...
