My reading of this is that they asked the system to redesign the PCB that was used in the i.MX 8M reference system-on-module. It looks like they take a parts list, a PCB shape, and a rough floorplan and pass that to their tool, which spits

Thanks for the kind words! I have not written it up but would like to. A word of warning: by trying to get into sequencing, I eventually burned through ~20k USD of student loans (still unpaid) with little to show. Nanopore sequencing also r

Hi, believe it or not, I have actually done what the authors were attempting. I used saliva rather than blood as a source of DNA and extracted it using a Qiagen kit. My Nanopore flow cell had nearly every pore working from the start. So I w

Adding on: Claude also gave me the following line which was necessary to get the model weights to download from HF. This might be obvious for anyone familiar with HF but it helped me so sharing here! git lfs install

I think the real story here might be the line below: "Durham University improved by 30 places year-on-year" Seems a bit suspicious, no? What methodology change led to this result? How can a university that was previously not as we

The US culls 350 million male chicks per year, per this article. Wikipedia says billions of male chicks are culled worldwide, which seems plausible when accounting for EU, China, India, SA, SEA etc. The citation on Wikipedia looks legit to

Male chicks are not feed nor raised but rather fed into a device quite similar to a wood chipper shortly áfter birth. You can read more about it here [1] or find some quite graphic videos on YouTube. This is addressed in the article: "

East Asia has lots of highly walkable cities with great public transit -- even a few you might not have heard of. Not just Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing but also Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Hangzhou to name a few.

Many EVs (Teslas) already contain a heat pump to warm the battery. I presume that improved battery chemistry would supplement this -- but maybe replacement would be possible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyGgrkeds5U

In my experience most/all academics crave a certain type of attention. It is an occupation where you get promoted in part by how famous you are (how many citations your publications have, which conferences you attended, etc.).

Yes! From the article: "The team found that about 13 to 40 pounds of oxygen is generated each second by Europa’s surface. ... While earlier studies reported widely varying ranges up to 2,245 pounds per second, this result shows the hig

Not an expert, but one application of neural decoding you may be aware of is brain machine interfaces (eg Neuralink). By decoding motor intent we can create devices which offer movement to paraplegic individuals with external robotics. Deco
