The Great Downzoning, a widespread reduction in allowed building heights and densities, occurred in Western countries from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. This led to housing shortages and had baleful consequences for health, family formation, the environment, and economic growth.
Mathematicians often rely on a few key tricks or techniques that they have mastered and can apply in various situations, such as interchanging the order of summation, applying the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, or using generating functions. These tricks can be used to solve a wide range of problems and can be combined in various ways to tackle more complex challenges.
User's internet provider blocked Imgur in the UK, causing issues with accessing old links. They created a solution using a VPN-connected container and Nginx to automatically route Imgur traffic through a non-UK exit point.
Spherical and hyperbolic triangles have unique properties, with area determined by angle excess or defect. In both geometries, small triangles have interior angles near π.

Skald aims to provide a self-hostable, data-privacy-focused RAG setup using open-source tech, allowing users to substitute third-party services with local options. The setup uses Postgres, Sentence Transformers, and Docling, and benchmarks show good performance for point queries in English, but struggles with aggregating context from multiple documents.
Neato Robotics is phasing out cloud services due to outdated infrastructure and new cybersecurity standards. Users can still operate their robots manually and find support at neatorobotics.com.

The system allows live polling for tech talks and workshops by voting on what happens next in a presentation written in markdown files with decision points. It uses WebSockets for real-time communication and is currently in heavy alpha with a Go backend and Alpine.js frontend.
Big tech companies produce sloppy code due to high turnover rates and engineers working outside their area of expertise. Engineers are often forced to rush out work on unfamiliar systems, leading to mistakes and bad code.
Clinical decision-making often simplifies continuous risk data into discrete levels using round-number thresholds. These simplifications can distort risk assessments. To systematically uncover these distortions, we develop an interpretable machine learning model that identifies anomalies caused by threshold-based practices. Through simulations, real-world data, and longitudinal studies, we ...
Language is a tool for communication, not a prerequisite for complex thought, and its emergence has transformed human culture. The language network in the human brain is abstract and sensitive to linguistic meaning, but not necessary for various forms of thought.
