Honestly I cant really imagine a world with unlimited time and money - it would be so different from the present world that has shaped us all. But that aside, I would work on assembling a team that could build and support a widely available tricorder.

It looks great - nice work. I tried the french example and found it challenging and useful - a great addition to my duo lingo practice. So much so that I signed up. But in doing so I lost the credits that Id apparently acquired by completing the example which was a little disappointing. I hadnt seen the Easy French videos before - they look nice too.

I cant explain the similarity of my comment to others around the same time. My reaction was a quick yay! to what I thought was a sane take on the capabilities and limitations of LLMS.

Great article that contains some pithy aphorisms that I expect to see again and again.

Is it good hygiene to delete these records once they've served their purpose (i.e. validating control of the domain in question)? Or do these records server more than that use?

Its a talk at a programming languages conference by a programming languages professor who moved into medicine to help diagnose and treat his son with a genetic condition. Its a great talk which simultaneously provides an introduction to biomedical research and knowledge based systems and provides some compelling cases for the benefit of combining the two. It also takes you through a journey that includes starting a company, working with the white house and being recruited to be the director of a university research institute.

This makes me sad as I very much prefer the atom approach to the git and github panels than the vscode approach. vscode is much faster for typescript development though.

in the uk, https://www.jobs.ac.uk/search/?keywords=RSE&location= gets you five hits today and I expect you would find more similar posts that werent currently branded research software engineer if you looked - the term is still quite new for many academic depts. One thing you'll need is patience if you want one of these positions - I remember being offerred an academic post three months after interviewing for the position and when I queried how on earth it could have taken so long to offer the post I was met with incredulity that there was an issue at all.
