  1. The main effect of a reaction time reduction looks incredibly small and is all the way in Fig 6. I would not over interpret this result without higher N and some discussion of effect size.
  2. Time in the market >> timing the market. You’re statistically not better off waiting although ai understand the feeling.
  3. My middle school home ec class was completely worthless “skills” that weren’t worth the opportunity cost of the time, but a finance class would have been.
  4. what location?
  5. That sounds ideal! I used to be a field roboticist where we would program and deploy robots to Greenland and Antarctica. IMO the fieldwork helped balance the desk work pretty well and was incredibly enjoyable.
  6. Maybe try OnShape, which is browser based and quite professional?
  7. 1 sounds like a huge inefficiency?
  8. that may be the exception that proves the rule here though. Outside of the tiniest toy example is this ever true?
  9. I’ve been climbing for 20 years and it’s the thing that prevents RSI for me and makes it possible to use a computer too much :). Certainly possible to injure fingers but would be a very rare climbing injury that would threaten coding.
  10. Yep, I was in Tokyo last year and scoured the earth looking for decent deals on used film cameras. If anything they were selling at a significant premium to US prices. It was quite disappointing.
  11. Yes, the surface tension of melted solder pulls the solder to just the pad areas (assuming you don’t have far too much)
  12. That’s kind of the point though. The scarcity focuses you n taking more deliberate and intentional photos.
  13. Really? I do this often and have never had any issues.
  14. Go for it anyway! I have a small NYC apt and fit everything I need for darkroom development into a small crate. I can scan negatives with a small setup here, but do have to go to a community darkroom for enlarger printing.
  15. Yes, that’s the point I was making in my response.
  16. I disagree. There are some cases where I want to bang out an experiment and iterate on it. While I have the ability to understand what's going on, the iteration loop makes more sense to go through the model than trying to understand what it did. This feels like vibe coding in those cases, even though I have the skills. Many talented developers I know are doing this as well to address pieces of a larger problem with expanded scope relative to what they could do without vibe coding. I work in research though, where the code is expected to be fairly exploratory (although high quality).
  17. I like it but it always felt like there was an escalating kill screen that happens way too quickly. Either that or I'm bad at it.
  18. No? Most of my peers don’t participate in social media anymore. I know few people who post online on almost any platforms outside of group chats.
  19. Selling stock triggers huge tax implications. It can be rational to think the market will retreat significantly without selling everything you own.
