We already generate ~6% of all our power in the US by wind power, which is incredible considering that modern wind turbines installation really only hit its stride in 2010 or so. Of course much of the world is behind the US–we lead the worl

Slightly off topic, am I the only person who hates the %>% operator? I find it completely obfuscates code.

n=1, but I don't think conversational German is so bad for a native English speaker. There are many cognate words, and words sound exactly like they are spelled. The hardest part for me while learning was remembering genders and especi

Frankly, I disagree. I think the conclusions are domain-specific. In my field (machine learning/informatics in a medical context), it is very often the case that simple models are better as they generalize to the next set of patients b

There is a great statistic called the encephalization quotient that is simply log brain mass divided by log body mass. There is a fairly strong correlation ( https://universe-review.ca/I10-83-brainmass.jpg ), but you find tha

For doctors, yes. You get sued if you aren't. More importantly, you're giving suboptimal care and effecting people's lives.

UCSF is one of the wealthiest medical research institutions in the world. It's stunning they can't support an in house IT staff. Granted, in my experience University IT staffs are generally pretty awful. Usually, each individual l

A fun contest would be to see who can write the smallest piece of code to do this. As a cron job it might be one line.

Are warning messages like these common in the Linux kernel? Cursory overview makes it seem like the logic should never get there. Funny. > WARN(1, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.\n");

The dirty secret in ML is that logistic regression, SVM, and random forests often work better than deep learning on real problems.

Would you prefer using two of those 5k monitors? I'm curious. I bought two nice LG 4k monitors for less than the price of one of those 5k monitors, and I'm pretty happy with my workflow now. Admittedly, it's a two-cable situa

I can have a big IDE open will simultaneously having a terminal and web browser open to a website that helps with what I'm working on in the IDE. Can't really do that with one monitor, even with one desktop. It's worth it, ab

I did the exact same thing. It seems reasonable to spend $700 on the major interface you have with your computer. I also expect these monitors to last about 10 years.

There is a relatively organized "opposition." See PLoS, etc. But it's difficult–generally, advancing your career enough to actually stay in academia requires that you publish in non open-access journals. Doubly so in medicine

I use dual 27" 4K monitors, which I think is the perfect compromise.

Well put. I'm trying to imagine a hospital asking a third party to insure a homemade medical device. Would never happen.
