Why was this link changed? Most of the time that the moderators switch in a link, they are functionally the same, but this is an interview rather than a direct link to the content of the email that was sent out, hosted on the site discussed

Some branches of medical research are basic sciences (eg endocrinology), and some are applied sciences (those broadly construed as 'health science', eg dietetics). But the practice of medicine in a clinical setting (healthcare) is

It's obviously not a 'basic' science though and other applied sciences that are uncontroversially included in STEM get their own letter (engineering and technology). People differ in whether they think medicine and the other

For comparison, the total killed products here: 343, since 1975. That's about 7.8 per year. Killed Google products: 194, since 1996 [0]. That's about 8.4 per year. So all-in-all, Google isn't doing that much worse. [0] htt

"Regulatory farming" is a great concept. There is a very similar concept called "regulatory shopping", where institutions can choose the (existing) regulatory agency that they want to be regulated by. https://

It depends who you ask, but typically not. STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (ie the 'M' isn't 'medicine', which is what a lot of people think).

For a long time I did the distro hopping thing, before realizing it is pretty pointless (even if it is fun). Find one that works for you and stick with it. I'd recommend Ubuntu or Fedora (although I haven't used Fedora for the las

Certainly English's morphosyntactic simplicity helped out NLP; your phrase "minimum viable model" hits the nail on the head. But increasingly over the last 5-10 years, I think there is a lot of progress on techniques for hand

The smallest unit in language that has meaning is called a morpheme. Some languages use relatively few morphemes-per-word like English: for example, the word "cats" can be broken into two morphemes -- "cat" and "-s&

All languages with synthetic morphology (both agglutinative languages, which glue chains of morphemes together, and fusional languages, which inflect morphemes) struggle with the language modelling techniques used for English. A big issue i
