I never considered the two are linked. Any research or modeling that shows this is true? Is it generalisable to other countries...

It appears the scientists or someone close to them have created a wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpudCell I don't think I've ever seen researchers do PR like this directly. Interesting approach, will it b

Posit (previously RStudio) has a few tools to easy dependency problems such as rig. Ive switched completely to conda handling my deps for R. Especially nicer on Linux systems as the packages are preinstalled.

Bioconductor (another R package repo) has stricter rules for submissions, such as minimum requirements for documentation. CRAN should adopt the same set approach. Even widely used historical packages can be light on docs.

Great article. While the definition changes, the expertise shifts and with it the field. Computers eventually became statisticians and data scientists. Printers became graphic designers. What I found most interesting is that when positions

Agreed, the paper describing the methodology uses basic techniques, no mention of AI or LLM usage. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-024-00950-9 Its bizarre and even frustrating to see basic bioinformatics methodo

The solution would seem obvious: the lecturer should fork the repo, students submit PR to the fork and if they are deemed worthy they're pushed further upstream.

Why are you comparing a machine to humans. They both clearly operate differently on a fundamental level. Would therapy work on an LLM?

Automated drug discovery is already a thing. The proceeding steps are the issue, clinical trials, formulation, safety testing, etc, economies of scale etc. True automation of scientific research requires true AI. I'm not really sure w

Phylogenetics is amazing, given surviving members of a clade we can reconstruct the ancestors. Phylogeny techniques can use additional info, eg paleontological record. Eg here's a nice paper discussing Bayesian phylo combined with rexo

I much prefer the Napolean attributed joke version where diligent is replaced with energetic. It ends with Napolean being asked "but general what about the fourth group, stupid and energetic?" "I have them shot".
