Sequencing a whole genome at 30x has been around 1k for the last 10 years at least.

That simply doesn’t work, for the same reason we can’t even model three massive bodies interacting with each other via gravity, which is a much much simpler problem.

First, I have to say this looks awesome. I am in awe at the level of effort I imagine is required to build and maintain something like this. That being said, I find the rationale a little bit confusing. I rather love IaC, and consider a GUI

I don’t think they were talking about the quality of Google search results. I believe they were talking about how the data was processed by the wordfreq project.

For what it’s worth, Axler’s book did help me considerably.

If you really take the time to carefully think it through... Math is a much more "natural" and "intuitive" language than nearly any programming language. That doesn't mean that it's easy, or easier, or that i

While I agree with you on the general idea, I think this is too restrictive: > A specification language does not tell a machine what operations to perform, a programming language does. There is a style of programming (usually functional

Not at all. The main thread of my comment(s) was that moral value judgments are extremely prevalent. In fact nothing actually happens in society without someone making a value judgment. And most of the time nothing particularly crazy happen

No. If you go looking, you will find plenty of counter-examples in History. You just made a statement that the top handful of catastrophic examples were representative of the bunch. You have massive selection bias in your sample. “Morally-b

You seem to be missing an ethics class. Morality doesn’t have to be like that at all.

by epgui 2y ago
Yep. 12 years studying biochem and health science makes that very clear. Knowing and understanding are intimately tied, and it’s questionable whether one can meaningfully understand anything without first knowing things.

There's that, and also all of the common pitfalls highlighted in this famous paper: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo... I do believe "doing A/B testing" is probably

I'm not an expert, but that sounds unrealistic today considering how much difficulty we have making basic measurements of neutrinos.
318.
by epgui 2y ago
I believe they might, but it's all a question of how large or small the probability is. And in the case of neutrinos, my lay-person understanding is that the probability of interaction is incredibly small. Anytime I hear about neut

Granted. That might have been a reading comprehension miss on my part.

Adding to other commenters' skepticism, I'm not sure this even makes sense. I'm not an expert, but I know that regular people don't have accounts with the central bank, and I know central banks aren't responsible fo

For people interested in publicly traded companies (this is not investment advice and I am not qualified whatsoever) that make this possible: NASDAQ:PACB and LSE:ONT. To the best of my knowledge, ILMN and other similar short-read sequencing

We can talk about the incentive structures of loans all day, but what I’m saying is that if you take a step back, that problem is dwarfed by the broader incentive structure of a system where education costs 30-100k per year.

FWIW, people from non-US countries looking at this situation are not thinking the problem is that policies are “too nice” to students. Other countries are thinking that the cost of post-secondary education in the US is insane.

In my experience the most helpful and generalizable resources have been resources on “experimental design” in biology, and textbooks on linear regression in the social sciences. (Why these fields is actually an interesting question but I do

My experience with k8s has been very much “just”, and I’ve never really had issues or experienced any real friction with updates. shrugs

What is insane about that? Nothing lasts forever.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I really don’t see how kubernetes is more complex than ECS. Even for a one-man show.

To this I would also add the ability to manage all of your infrastructure with k8s manifests (eg.: crossplane).

This is often (but not always) true. Not sure why you're getting downvoted so much.
