Totally. This is called "adoptive cell transfer" and it's one of the hottest areas of biotech at the moment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoptive_cell_transfer

There is another degree of freedom here: project cost. Why on earth does 0.32 miles of residential road cost $1.5M? Having just managed a construction project much larger than this stretch of road myself, I am certain that a lot of the bla

We have no idea and there’s no real way even in principle for us to know.

Our universe is definitely not described by anti-de Sitter space. It might be de Sitter space though.

by frisco 6y ago
If my understanding is right, de Sitter space effectively has no boundary, in the same way that a sphere has no edge.

> proving string theory Would definitely not consider string theory “proven”. On the contrary, its odds of being correct (much less demonstrably so) seem to be decreasing by the year.

I had such high hopes for Keybase; kbfs had completely replaced Dropbox for me. This is terrible news.

Piketty’s main point is that if the return on capital is greater than the return on labor then over time you will get inequality. But like... what would a world in which that is not true look like? What would it even mean for labor to scale

CT scans involve a lot of ionizing radiation. Definitely something to be avoided unless necessary.

This is called “Special English” aka “Simple English” or “Voice of America English”. It is meant to be very clear and straightforward to understand to minimize the possibility of miscommunication and make it so that non-experts of all backg

Music production is usually Mac at this point, and that requires wired headphones/speakers. Not sure it’s big enough of a market that Apple wouldn’t drop it anyway, but Bluetooth latencies are too high to be a substitute there.

Again, the important thing is ATP, and you can get it from either glucose or ketone bodies: > In fact, the late George Cahill did an experiment many years ago (probably would never get IRB approval to do such an experiment today) to demo

This statement isn't supported by any real evidence. In fact, a lot of actual research supports the idea of keto for improving outcomes in some types of cancer.

You need ATP. The Krebs cycle can manufacture it from either ketone bodies or from glucose.

I don't think this is actually true; being close to some deep learning research groups, it's really surprising how powerful GPUs have gotten. Improvements over the last few years have been very nonlinear; it's kind of astonis

I am so over goal-less MMOs with simplistic pastel graphics. We've done this so many times before. How is Horizon any different from Second Life? It's really unclear. Both are ugly. I am a huge fan of the idea of the Matrix, and I

There is no chance they are detecting extracellular action potentials with their giant skin surface electrodes. This is 100% EMG, which is a potential produced by muscle tissue. They might be able to detect very subtle EMG signals that don&

Super interesting. At Burning Man this year it seemed like a significant percent of the city had goTennas, which had never been true before. I also remember reading about a big mesh in Brooklyn being a thing recently. I bet we’re going to b

BioArxiv required at least one human author. We suggested this author list to him and, honestly, we just think it’s awesome.

I hear about these things through the grapevine in San Francisco. There's a subculture there that's all about optimizing their healthcare with as much data as possible; having seen what's possible, you really come to believe

I did Health Nucleus which includes a whole body MRI (no ionizing radiation exposure) and a bunch of other stuff geared towards looking for cancer. Apparently Prenuvo in Vancouver is considered the best now. It’s a few $k and insurance does
