I use a combination of a TODO.md file shared on all my devices (two laptops, one phone, one VPS) with Syncthing, Google Calendar, and leaving emails/messages unread for external requests.
I've tried Notion, Trello, and Keep in the past: they felt over-engineered and too reliant on having an internet connection/browser window open, so in the end I always found myself going back to basics. Haven't had a single problem with my current setup so far.
As an Italian, reading this is site is absolute bliss. There's just so much to discover. I really suggest non-Italian speakers to automatically translate it with Google and dive into it.
This has been my go-to software for making diagrams since I was an undergrad. Absolutely stunning. I recommend their stand-alone version for offline editing as well.
You could say that there are two main aspects to epilepsy research. One is on the medical side, surgery, drugs, etc., one is more about understanding the phenomenon by studying brain activity and how it behaves.
The two are very strongly connected, of course, but the second can also be tackled by engineers, mathematicians, physicists or computer scientists.
You'd be surprised by how many different people work on this subject!
I agree, it's really fascinating. The thing that interests me the most are that many natural phenomena can be modeled as a network of some sort. It's mind-blowing how everything is connected.
I'm very new to this whole field, but usually to model the LFP of single neurons they use MUCH more detailed descriptions, down to individual membrane potentials.
This is probably not even a good model of LFP in general, it's more of a system that behaves like a brain that has seizures. They have a full discussion about it in the paper. The interesting thing about this is that by changing the connectivity you also change the attractors of the system, meaning that a "seizure" can happen or not depending on whether some nodes are connected.
Hey, you're welcome!
I will definitely try to expand this in the future, although I don't think that this particular model will be suitable. It's excessively simple for such a complex phenomenon.
But there's a ton of literature out there, so sure!
This whole antitrust debate around Google feels weird to me. People act like Google is not a for-profit company, but some sort of philanthropic association that is law-bound to provide good technology to the people.
Google has only one goal, which is selling advertisements. To do so, it provides, FOR FREE, the best technology services of the planet, including what is basically the entrance door to the internet and a piece of software to make the experience of browsing pleasant.
Nobody forces Google to do so. They could easily make people pay for the services, and nobody could say a thing.
And yet they give this all for free, even allowing you to block the only stream of revenue that they get from you (ads).
The antitrust controversy around Google is just a major case of wanting to have the cake and eating it too. It's like we've had somebody giving us free food for decades, and now we're suropriesd that the terms of a deal that is extremely advantageous for us are changing. We've become accustomed to the idea of fre Google, and we've forgot that Google could make us pay a fee for their services, and we would all shut up and pay.
I was ok with this until the part where OP changed the background color of the top of the page. From there, it all went downhill and very quickly became yet another "yay everything is flat and overly saturated" design.
Boring and less usable.
I'm not even going to talk about that abomination done for the content.
Key points that we can take away from this article:
1. Brutalist design means having huge-ass boxes floating around, with cool animations, sans-serif fonts, all powered by 500MB of JS libraries
2. Dropbox is exactly the same as it has been for the last 10 years, they just conformed to the ubiquitous standard of modern web design, and redid their logo to be EXACTLY like the logos of all the other tech companies in the world: sans-serif font, simple stylized icon
Good read.
As a side node, I think that this experiment I did on my blog a while back accidentally matches the definition of brutalism better than the examples in the article: https://danielegrattarola.github.io/metaverse/
Honestly, it's a bit of a gray ethical area for me.
On one hand, what you say makes perfect sense.
On the other hand, I like having my cake and eating it, too. It's like having a buffet dinner where the host tells you: "sure, you can eat this juicy steak, but you also have to eat the surrounding shards of glass that I've put there to feed my thirst for human dignity".
If I particularly like the host I might do it, otherwise I'll just take the steak and leave.
