also misleading. Nutrition science did not give the "food pyramid" quoted above, historically, it was Dept of Agriculture and associated lobbyists.

Food pyramid is a US Dept of Agriculture thing, not from any professional RD
183.
by caycep 9mo ago
No, that was the US Dept of Agriculture. You need to talk to an actual RD.

mostly because of the destruction of American science, public health and public safety the admin pushed through in order to publish this set of guidelines, instead of just hiring a professionally trained RD to write it up.

I'm used to CAD as the acronym for this thing, but I'm just being pedantic

granted, I find it somewhat amusing that the head of Boston Dynamics got invited to give a keynote at NEURIPS 2016 or 2017 and admitted than Spot the Dog didn't really use any learning...

Would a Mozilla-like browser be sustainable via the "old" nonprofit model through government or academic grants/philanthropy?

There is actually a field where subjects do have electrodes implanted (see https://www.humansingleneuron.org/ ). - this is done when they are doing pre-operative recordings in preparation for brain surgery for the treatment

I think technically there's some statistical correction you apply to the voxels to avoid this. But yea...most hypotheses from fMRI are considered hypotheses until there's some other modality, i.e. electrical recordings, etc that

I saw Parvizi say this in a talk back in 2019!

which is why the good labs follow up fMRI results and then go in with direct neurophysiological recording...

There's fancier ML studies on EEG signal but probably not consistent enough for clinical work. For now, the one thing EEG can reliably tell is if you're having a seizure or not, if you're delirious (or in a coma) or not, or

I saw a clinical report of his on a patient, he puts a graphic in their report of their "brain scan" but it's basically a vector graphic of the brain w/ a multicolor MS Paint gradient...

you have to wonder, if they weren't the only tech firm willing to engage w/ DOD, would they survive in a more competitive atmosphere?

Well...Cyberpunk for example. It will run on a 3070 but look like shit...on my 4k monitor, if I want the gorgeous photorealism of the game, the $2000 (formerly $700 pre-crypto/AI) GPU still gets about ~40 FPS with some stuttering if

I wonder about this...I had thought I would be on PCIe 5.0 by now but I'm still on my AM4 PCIe 4.0 board since AM5 and PCIe 5.0 seem...glitchy and heat prone. And apparently I'm still not saturating PCIe 4.0...

The consumer centric view is powerful - as was stated above, the originators often were niche/expensive items. The power of the consumer market was what really drove the engineering/science forward and made those companies into ma

I would take this argument more seriously if -the whole reason why the GPU is $2000 is because of said AI bubble sucking up wafers at TSMC or elsewhere, with a soupçon of Jensen's perceived monopoly status... -for a good part of the ye

It's a sad trend for "the rest of us" and history in general. The economic boom of the 80's thru the 2010s has been a vast democratization of computation - hardware became more powerful and affordable, and algorithms (a

granted, I feel like fixing bugs should be pre-allocated to the road map adequately, vs. spending 1 giant cycle every 10 years catching up on bug fixes a la snow leopard ( cough cough apple )
