I hope you realize there’re many different labs with different attitudes. I have one of my degrees from Ghent and what you describe never came up. AFAIK there wasn’t even a requirement to publish a paper for a PhD student to graduate anymor

My way of thinking about it is that a civilization capable of interstellar travel has enough energy and resources (which is probably the same) to terraform any “free” planet to their liking. For all we know, space is mostly devoid of any li

The thing is that everything I need just works on my ARM Mac and it’s been so for couple years already. Yet I keep hearing that “MS is committing to ARM”. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love myself a Surface that’s super fast, responsive, has many

I mean, Samsung has DeX. It’s exactly what you describe. I don’t like it, I don’t need it. I’d rather have a focused device than one that tries to be two things at once.

Change my view: USA is going to strengthen ties with AUKUS instead of European NATO allies (except select counties like Poland) regardless the administration.

I don’t think versatile devices are possible. I love iPad Pro for what it is. I tried Surface Pro and it was a much inferior tablet experience, even though the device is more “versatile”. I just doing think that you can get an excellent tab

For me “exceptionally fast” is maglev. 200 km/h train is normal at this point.

You can’t blame people. Our ancestors probably went into a state of trance with much simpler “music”. The brains didn’t change all that much since then.

I’m doing a PhD in quantitative field, not stupid by any means. But people doing physics seem out of this world to me. I feel like they’re just orders of magnitude smarter. It’s a shame the field seems a bit stagnant now. I hope they find a

Why is this of particular interest? Frontiers are full of low-impact review articles.

There’re redundant pathways, but it’s not a million. I guess different mutations can converge to a common phenotype. And in any case, what you present in a study is kind of like a model that you derive from the data. You can probably go dee

Ok, it’s “obvious”. Now find good drug targets. Yeah, you can’t before you quantify all the “obvious” things. The actual patient data and derived insights are precious.

It’s not that you’re wrong, but you miss the depth of the issue. Yes, we know that people are different and there’re many redundant pathways, and every poor bastard probably has his own mutation, etc. But we need to actually identify the me

It’s difficult to comprehend impact of something that’s widely adopted. Like, batch normalization alone was probably mind blowing when it came out. Yet it seems so simple and self-explanatory now.

In the grand scale, human intelligence evolved over millions of years. We went from personal computers to LLMs in mere decades. I get that everyone wants Singularity now, so do I. But there’s too much over-promise and delusion.

Possession has been tolerated for a long time now. You can’t walk through a city and not smell weed. AFAIK the tolerable limit was 5g, a person should seek help if they need more than that on them.

It’s like bringing up a child. In Iraq, they’ll wear hijab and see no reason not to. In California, they’ll be a feminist. People believe what they’ve been told is right. AI could just be the same.

I agree, but this requires reasoning, the way you did it. Is this within the model capability? If not, there’re two routes. First one: make inference based on real data, then most board will be male and white. Second: hard-core rules based

I could explain their line of thinking, but the post would be downvoted and labeled as propaganda. It’s not that I agree or approve what’s going on. On the contrary, it has a detrimental impact on me. But even trying to explain the Russian
