Also, according to a quick google search only ~5% of diabetics are type 1, so there are still about 3 times as many type 2 diabetics taking insulin. Regardless, I suspect he meant that more different types of insulin allow diabetics to take

It's pretty easy to tell human DNA from bacterial DNA. For one thing bacteria have small circular genomes versus huge linear chromosomes. More importantly individual sequencing for humans is heavily assisted by aligning reads to a know

Welcome to research and statistics. The most accurate answer is probably something like: "the effect of strawberry intake on HIV antibody testing is not significantly different than zero based on current evidence". There very well

Supposedly, most people do. There was an article on hn about "aphantasia" (the lack of mental imagery) not to long ago, but I can't seem to find it now. Google turns up quite a few hits though. I can't help but be a litt

Not that it excuses the stigma associated with having the disease. But, global statistics are very different than from those in the western democracies where "the media" and much of their audience resides. In the US the majority o

Sure, that's how they were more or less envisioned. But they are not, leaving us with at least two meanings for the term "state".

Unfortunately, "state" can't be used unambiguously to mean a sovereign political entity, because there are so many states that aren't sovereign (e.g. New York). I would guess "nation-state" has acquired it&#x2

Wild ass guess: Some patients developed localized tumors at the injection site, which were eradicated by the host immune system. Thus some could have tumors without really developing a disease we would call cancer Edit: I've actually s

I get what you mean, but your word choice is off. The "electorate" means the people represented by the elected official, not he officials themselves. i.e. the electorate is the public

The article says that one of the attractive qualities if string theory is that it has no free parameters. But then says that the particles a forces of the standard model are determined by the number and size of extra dimensions. Those sound

Fun fact: the retina and optic nerve are outgrowths of the developing brain, and commonly considered part of it. So technically a bare brain can see.

A race condition is a situation where the result depends on the ordering/interweaving of threads. And that example isn't actually one. It's a deadlock which are also bad but much more deterministic and easier to debug.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) seems to be the most common term for that.

Discussion of memes is always a little surreal for me, because I can never be quite sure what someone else means when they say the word. Probably because I encountered Dawkins' idea of a meme as a replicating unit of thought before &qu

They use a single particle of cellulose in the 5-100um range which gets quickly scanned through the entire display volume. So, yes there is a medium but it's hardly a foggy room.

Gross anatomy specimens like used to teach med students are definitely preserved. That's basically a requirement when you're going to use the same body through-out a course that takes 6 months to a year. I don't have any spe

Impressive. An important point here seems to be that these ASO's have a chemically modified backbone which prevents degradation by exonucleases. But the bases are un-modified allowing complimentary pairing and activation of RNAse H a

Does anyone have a link to a more technical description of this therapy? From what I've found it's a small anti-sense RNA targeting the mutant huntingtin gene. But I don't see a description of a delivery vehicle, or if there

Have you looked into research regarding refinement types? Because they describe almost exactly what your reaching for (types with assciated provable assertions). Specifically Liquid Haskell[0] extends Haskell with (dependent) refinement typ

That's an interesting argument and it certainly seems right, but I can't say if that's because there's truth to it or because I am as "algorithm averse" as the next guy. What's nice is it seems to offer a

Even if it is a question of physics that doesn't mean it's an answerable one. There may be impenetrable barriers between us and any supposed higher-order multiverse. Even in this universe, it's possible to be entirely cut of
