Seems like it is based on this paper from CVPR 2024: https://aiotgroup.github.io/Person-in-WiFi-3D/ Frankly I'm shocked it's possible to do this with that level of resolution.

Slightly misleading title- this is the overall blueprint for a large ongoing effort by the Imperial College London to formalize FLT in Lean, not the proof itself (which is huge). The project webpage has more information about the efforts an

A good step forward. Reading the referee reports and rebuttals from papers that previously opted in to transparent reviewing was incredibly useful to my own paper publishing process. In many ways Nature is ahead of Science on this. I hope t

The parent commenter is not speaking about science as a whole, they are speaking about US dominance in science. You state that "hiccup won't stop or even slow down science in the US. All it will do is take government out of the eq

The entire class of "biologics" drugs only came about in the past 15 years thanks to advances in sequencing and biotech. They are the mainstays of treatment for dozens of serious dermatologic, rheumatologic, and GI diseases, not t

I think you may be misunderstanding how the tool is used (at least the version I used). The doctor talks to the patient, does an exam, then formulates and discusses the plan with the patient. The whole conversation is recorded and converted

As a medical student, I used the dragon dictation software (no AI) to write notes in the ED and more recently I used a pilot of this ai version to write clinic notes. Overall, I was quite impressed. It definitely made writing notes much fas

I suppose if the grape is in a puddle of electrolyte, it can short out the quarter wave antenna. So drying probably only matters if your grape is very juicy!

For people who want to try making plasma from grapes in a microwave, here are the steps that work for me every time (I’ve done it for friends and highschoolers about 20 times) 1. Cut a large grape (1.5cm diameter) partially in half, leaving

I would not be surprised by this number given the sheer volume of crap journals that publish anything. However I would expect that the proportion of fakery in papers with >20 citations is much lower than 1 in 7, which should be somewhat

It’s pretty normal for heart rate to increase with a drop in blood pressure. It’s part of a normal reflex called the baroreceptor reflex that your body evolved to keep you alive. To answer your question, there have been an abundance of epid

I think I disagree with most of the comments here stating it’s premature to give the Nobel to AlphaFold. I’m in biotech academia and it has changed things already. Yes the protein folding problem isn’t “solved” but no problem in biology eve

A key skill for any scientist is to differentiate quality work and science that can be easily faked. The Alzheimer's and Parkinson's fields are too easy to fake, and too difficult to replicate. The new ideas are only ~20 years old

The problem with putting the onus on the journals is there is no incentive for them to reward replications. Journals don't make money on replicated results. Customers don't buy the replication paper they just read the abstract to

This sort of behavior is only going to worsen in the coming decades as academics become more desperate. It's a prisoner's dilemma: if everyone is exaggerating their results you have to as well or you will be fired. It's even
