   Key Takeaway: Get a CT or CTA scan, and if you can afford it go for the CTA with Cleerly. There is a reason that we don't recommend getting imaging for everyone, and that reason is uncertainty about the benefit vs the risks

   One thing that wasn't mentioned is the max sustained screen brightness for SDR, which is higher on the M4 Pro (1000 nits) compared to the M4 Air or M1 Pro (500 nits).

   Biggest market agreed. But relative impact on utility of laptops seems enormous.

   This is not a mainstream view of the science, and it's worth noting that this perspective is also not supported by the OP or by the JACC article that it's citing.

   One thing that is confusing about this write-up is that "DeepConf-low" is only mentioned once and in a screenshot, but it seems to outperform DeepConf-high for several tasks. I guess I'll need to read the underlying paper, bu

   I don't think disclosure is necessary, but I think it can build trust in cases like this. "Please note that we used an LLM to rewrite our initial English draft." The reason to do this is that then people don't waste cycl

    I think it's neat that this summary is written by an author of the scientific manuscript. Oversimplification is a risk, but this approach eliminates the possibility that the writer did not understand the underlying science.

    When I was in my postdoc (applied human genetics), my advisor's rule was that you needed to understand the tools you were using at a layer of abstraction below your interface with them. For example, if we wanted to conduct an analysis

    All 3 points (two from you and one from '8bitsrule) helped me contextualize this: * 700 times further from the Sun than the Earth * 15 times further from the Sun than Pluto * 0.01 lightyear, or 1/400th the distance to the nearest

    Just following this comment up as a note-to-self: just as `kgwgk noted, the default gemma3:27B model has ID a418f5838eaf, which corresponds to 27b-it-q4_K_M. But the new gemma3:27B quantization-aware training (QAT) model being discussed is

    This could actually speed up some of my scientific computing (in some cases, data localization/delocalization is an important part of overall instance run-time). I will be interested to try it.

    Thank you. So, another de minimis amount ($1.8 million): it's not exactly zero, but it's just about as much as their NIH support. Columbia, as a comparator, gets $100 million in NSF funding.

    I’m not familiar with the NSF funding mechanisms or how people track NSF funding. Not saying NSF is not relevant, just that I’m not using it for my personal heuristic right now.

    Wesleyan does not have a medical center and according to the NIH’s public reporting, they have under $2 million in NIH grants, compared to $600 million for Columbia. ( Edited from $400 million, which is the value cut. ) Wesleyan has a $250

    So far the fight/not fight decisions can be predicted in advanced based on whether an institution has a medical center with NIH grants.
