Cool visualization! It would've been nice to not assume only one lottery winner. People tend to pick numbers that are meaningful for them: birthdays, favorite numbers, lucky numbers. Thus it actually significantly increases your EV if

Exactly. If the proteins suggested in this paper are very similar to known good binders in PDB then I am much less impressed by the results. You could argue they are generating a structure from the training set. I want more info about how n

Maybe this is in the supplement of the whitepaper [0], but I would have loved to see more analysis of how novel the designed proteins really are. In the whitepaper they mention that they are novel compared to other in silico design techniqu

This essay resonated with me, speaking about the "mediocrity" of our future relationship with computer assistants. I loved the paragraph about feeling "scammed" though I would've called it being "faked". T

You don’t need to force the halves together quickly to start a chain reaction, but you do need to put them together fast to create a bomb. If it’s not fast enough you will get a “Fizzle” [0] where some chain reaction is occurring but not ov

The 500kW almost certainly includes the cooling losses. The chips alone theoretically consume power roughly according to the Landauer-Von Neumann limit, which would be less than microwatts for the shoebox they describe. In real life it’ll b

I can say that most radiologists would not want a computer trying to fix poor scan data. If the underlying data is bad, they would have recommend an orthogonal imaging abnormality. "I don't know" is a possible response radiol

A few months ago there were articles going around about how Samsung galaxy phones were upscaling images of the Moon using AI [0]. Essentially, the model was artificially adding landmarks and details based on its training set when the real i

Recovering from supine position is a known tough problem in bipedal robots. It makes sense that they would want to show off this capability.

You could theoretically subclassify cancers all the way down to individual gene mutations, and even then there is heterogeny within one cancer itself. That is the idea behind "personalized medicine" though it's being distorte

While the parent commenter did exaggerate, they are correct in their idea. You could subclassify cancers all the way down to individual gene mutations, and even then there is heterogeny within the cancer itself. Medicine tries to draw bound

I don't see how this is different from how any distributor of goods does business. Nobody bats an eye when the local grocery store (a distributor) is spending more than 70% of its revenue to buy the goods from their suppliers. It'

You can interact with a working demonstration booth of this at MIT. That apparatus had an initial backwards torque when you turned on the suction, but no constant torque pushing it the other way once everything hit steady state. I wonder wh

You got it- the sucking in comes from all directions. In response to your first question, the water doesn’t add negative angular momentum because the whole system we are conserving is the sprinkler body and the moving water together. The su

The most intuitive explanation for the Feynman sprinkler I can think of is conservation of angular momentum. In the pump-out case, the water adds positive angular momentum when it flies out, so the sprinkler body must add negative angular m
