You will probably find this paper by Hessameddin Akhlaghpour very interesting: [An RNA-based theory of natural universal computation](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34979104/).

And a [YouTube talk by the author](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=984vm12HUF0).

There’s a fascinating book called Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes by Daniel Everett that covers the Piraha people in the Amazon.

Their language is unusual: no recurrent sentences, almost no discussion of the past. I’m not suggesting they are unconscious but there appears to be something different going on with the Piraha sociolinguistically.

Who made this? I didn't see any About section or answer to that in the questions.

I used to want this kind of recipe card, but I've cooked so much that's no longer the case (I actually forgot all about the idea until reading this comment). I can usually look at the list of ingredients, and imagine what needs to be done. If it's an unusual or unfamiliar cuisine I will read the method, but after that point the list of ingredients suffice. If I read a recipe somewhere and want to cook it later, I will just write the ingredients on a post-it (usually in cooking order) and maybe 1-2 brief comments.

I imagine in domains you are skilled at you'd also prefer high level instructions than a step-by-step tutorial.

I agree that doesn't help the beginner, or someone who doesn't cook regularly, or someone cooking something new and I think most recipe writers are just following the established structure without thinking about what they and others really need.

Yes.

Very cool! The dither is no longer in screenspace though, which kills the retro charm.

You would need to say "red fox". I think that feature, managing specificity, is actually quite well implemented.

It’s certainly possible, but you don’t need to go to any trouble - I’d hate to have misremembered the name and waste your time.

There was a MUD I read a printout of the textile manual for when I was a kid (didn’t have a computer). It explained how to create mobs and zones, and one of the example characters they used repeatedly was a knight or paladin called Geoffrey. I think it also introduced me to kobolds.

I’d love to find it again and reread it.

I thought it was called Legends but that hasn’t turned up the same thing.

_America of Theseus_ is a great shorthand for what you're describing. Did you just come up with it then?

In what way do those imperfections make something like cutlery inferior?

You can probably manage to reproduce the butterfly battle here (original paper): https://distill.pub/2020/growing-ca

I've also been (December 2024), I didn't realise it was so difficult to get reservations.

It is an awesome space and surprisingly well lit.

Maybe stupid answer, but I’ve read a few older papers that used ensembles to identify when a prediction is out of distribution. Not sure what SotA approach is though.

They mention that the length of the thong by which the spoon is attached to the belt is about the right length to lift it to your face, but that's it.

You're going to be battling with your attention a lot in the beginning. I think just making a habit of it regardless and putting in the time is necessary.

You could always go on a retreat — you'll have very limited options for distractions. It might sound like an extreme thing to do, and maybe it is, but I did it without much prior practice and got a lot out of it.

Does the demoscene count?

I read the docs too. Great docs can spell the difference between using your code and giving up or finding another solution. If you're new to a particular language or programming, code with great docs can also teach you how the language itself works.

Tabulator (http://tabulator.info/docs/5.3) is the last example that comes to mind, had to use it earlier this year.

Someone posted this link above (https://ulsterlinen.com/flax-to-linen/) which indicates that separating the seed is part of the processing.

I agree that HTML + CSS are very different, but why do you say they aren't programming?

We use a kotatsu [0] for this - a table with a heating element underneath and a thick quilted 'tablecloth'. I'm in Melbourne, so the lowest it gets is a few degrees above 0C, but we _never_ use air con/heating. Summer we close the blinds in the day, open blinds and windows up at night.

It's not fair to expect that approach to work for everyone everywhere, but there are plenty that could do this instead of wasting so much energy on creating a homogenous environment year round.

Huygens Optics on Youtube [0] has some interesting research into optical gates using interference.

I think the type of estimation meant here is the agile type, where the team looks at a feature/requirement and estimates the time or relative effort based on the nature of the requirement + whatever other factors they choose. It's usually more intuitive and not based on historical data.
