Pretty cool, I actually explored the same idea several months ago, as you can put a huge amount of information while keeping emphasis on local features

I see you also hade a similar idea on what happens when you click on an arrow

Last time I went there I saw a founder that couldn’t do an interview without changing zyn pouches every literal five (5) minutes

You lost me at “except billionaires”. I don’t see how Jeff Bezos benefits from this one much more than let’s say Terence Tao.

Can a tech news stay a tech news, without getting bombardes with leftist subtexts all the time?

Same, I really want to like Zed but LazyVim covers my every need

Conductor is really nice! A feature I would really like would be to be able to automatically configure “direnv allow” in the different shells as I use nix & direnv all the time

I had this opinion until I actually had a new model and felt the weight difference.

What do you mean exactly by “Epstein People”? I thoroughly hope it’s not the 4chan definition of it

Liberalism (in the traditional economic sens) likes competition. Capitalism is a mode of production, and capitalists notoriously don’t like competition when they are the incumbents

First yes it is. The claims that this time period was too short to meaningfully change phenotypes in human populations was not entirely far fetched.

Then to address the elephant in the room - which is the race discourse subtext let’s be honest - it’s highly unlikely that any recent selective pressure on a separated population, which resulted in meaningful phenotype adaptations, happened similarly everywhere at the same time

“What scientists are wary of is how any discussion in the field gets jumped on and twisted into ammunition to reinforce racist beliefs”

Yet nothing ruined the reputation of the scientific establishment more in recent time than their tendency to change their behaviours and adapt their beliefs for political motives

There is a graph arguing “intelligence” has been positively selected in west Eurasian population in this paper according to a polygenic score (page 8 fig. 4)

Now I would be quite curious to know how they constructed this polygenic score

Well, this has been entirely vibecoded, so not sure the code itself has any value. It's a 2K line index.html that you can check here if you wish too: https://github.com/nesco/paperverse

Hey everyone, I was wondering if a Poincaré disk would be able to usefully show the local structure of a graph while showing most of one

I used a collection of ML papers to explore this
