Nice. I want my TV news subtitled with a slightly less flippant version of this. Bonus credit for also catching media training techniques and bad journalism. Actually, I would probably subscribe for a channel that aggregates other reporting

Good points. Personally I'm still basically with Geoff Hinton's early conjecture that people will have to choose whether they want a model that's easy to explain or one that actually works as well as it could. I'd imagin

The chances of the statement being complete bullshit nears certainty in most contexts today, so ignoring it as an argument would be a great course of action as such. Unfortunately the person-like thing making the statement, or its backend

Chlorophyll's great if you can consume it in adequate quantities. Usually brings other beneficial nutrients as a side effect.

Maybe deisteve will answer for himself, but I don't think that's meant to mean how to run Jax on Pytorch, but rather the questions he's interested in for any published model.

That turned out to be the case with the 2022 epidemic. This is a novel virus variant which is spreading with enhanced efficacy and to several areas where the disease has hitherto not been reported, by means which have not yet been adequatel

Certainly not. Whatever gave you such a bizarre impression? I'm strongly implying that I'm not particularly happy about this being an orthopox virus of significant lethality, despite that circumstance meaning it's reasonably

Massive plus for sure. Even better than cutting a decade of research to less than a year for SARS-CoV-2 because most of the lessons learned from SARS-CoV turned out to apply, because in this case the existing vaccines are already tried an

I'm not sure I'd call that unequivocally good news. But certainly it's fantastic that a high efficacy vaccine already exists. At that time it was available in very restricted quantities, used in countries which had access to

For small numbers. If the healthcare capacity gets saturated so-called first-world countries might not do so much better. Massive HIV prevalence is going to distort the case fatality ratios for sure, but on the other hand I'd say high

I wonder to what extent this phenomenon of "defective interfering particles" explains the presence of quite a bit of retrovirus residues in the human genome. One would think they'd get thrown out if they're harmful, or m

I find "absolute minimum" an unfortunate choice of phrasing when the process necessarily has large elements of randomness and could in principle well proceed from a single cell getting successfully infected. But it's interest

Making extra genetic material and their resistance products can be a liability if they're useless (and so would slowly be lost), but there's all sorts of chemical combat between microbes in lots of environments and you can't

The reason two is harder is a bit subtle. Hitting the population with multiple mechanisms simultaneously masks the selective advantage of slightly better phenotypes against the individual attacks. There's a spread in individual charact

Good observations. There are many possible mechanisms for resistance, and with this involving bacteria I expect pretty much all are sooner or later used. Some ways are more specific to the substance, such as changing the target to fit worse
