This seems to indicate that the USA has vastly more cancer diagnoses than European countries even after adjusting for age. Is there already research that explains why? Is this a well known phenomenon?

I totally agree that they dropped the ball on Siri, but they had plenty of money and employees to work on that if they wanted to. I'd argue that the canned car project and the Vision Pro consumed way more resources than the in house si

It's written by the CEO of LinkedIn. So there's a huge bias in favor of making people's employment temporary so that they rely on his product to find further opportunities. I mean, that would be great for LinkedIn, right? If

But beer is a much more valuable category for advertisement, and potentially a much more lucrative domain to have. There are social networks devoted to beer (Untappd), communities oriented around it, etc.

You're probably right. $10 million might be metaphorical.

Is Windows XP on its own really this vulnerable to connections over the internet? This makes it seem like you'll get infected within 10 minutes. I'm sure there are plenty of vulns in Windows XP by now, but it seems surprising to

> If adversarial input is a concern, doing a O(n) shuffle of the data first guarantees this cannot happen. It doesn't guarantee that you avoid the worst case, it just removes the possibility of forcing the worst case.

The owner is dreaming if they think that domain is worth $10 million. But that's fine, because they like the name, and there's no reason to sell it for a number they're not happy for. Personally, I wish we had more TLDs. Many

Just chiming in to say that the same is happening for me. It says "Failed to verify, please check and try again" I'll keep trying in case this is something to do with cached bios

This is called "physical modelling". Creating sound from a physical simulation is popular for things like plucked strings, but it's very difficult for more complicated instruments like harmonicas

There are a lot of similar tele-health businesses which are really just prescription farms. I wonder if they'll all meet a similar fate eventually.

I have no use for this whatsoever, and it's probably eye wateringly expensive. But damn this is a cool piece of tech.

In my opinion, the opposite of this is a bigger problem in most large codebases. Not exposing functionality that other parts of the code legitimately need to access is more common than exposing parts which shouldn't be used.

Seems like a good idea, but "the proof is in the puddling". Can the author make a working implementation that competes with Transformers in terms of quality?

If the ML models think that beautiful women are thin........ good! It means they're learning correctly from the labelled training data. As of 2024, that's certainly the prevailing standard of beauty, and it's very annoying fo

(I could be wrong here. Please correct me if that's the case.) I think the comment you're replying to means exactly what you're saying, which is that it will find solutions which are "easy" to find for the optimizer

This is sort of baffling to me. It seems like common sense that you shouldn't attend sex parties with your coworkers and then do drugs there. But the Twitter post referenced doesn't even say that happened; it's vague and it d

The papers coming out with Gaussian splatting and nerf are simply amazing these days. I think the results here are close to being useable for a video game or a low budget movie. You'd still need a lot of human refinement on top of the

Yes, that seems correct from what I've seen. And if self driving can be improved enough, then it will pay off. However, I remain skeptical that he'll be able to improve it enough to compensate for other deficiencies in the product

Unfortunately, it seems like you need to join the waitlist to use it. And while I don't see anything explicitly stating the license or business model, it doesn't seem like this will be open sourced. Still, it's nice to see so

1. Sell hardware that has a decent margin. 2. Use that margin to pay for cloud inference costs for an LLM. 3. Gain popularity enough to either raise hardware prices or add a subscription.

That makes a lot of sense, except for the possibility of infecting the predators. What if they end up as a stepping stone to infect humans as well? If deer to human transmission is truly possible, then I would be worried about the possibili

Cool to see that this beats Whisper while lowering latency. I'm happy TTS models are still "open by default" thus far.

Despite only being partially solid state, this is still a great achievement! The car's advertised range and fast charging capabilities (249 miles in just 12 minutes) are amazing. I'd love to see some independent reviews confirming

Any plans to support stem export, or at least do instrumentals without the vocals?
