I see this situation as resulting from governmental decisions that reduce funding for research and make doing it harder. There are also bonuses to make companies that extract value from the public research sector. All this quantitative easi

As for high level C++ threading you have OMP. It's incredibly easy to use. In the simplest case you just use a preprocessor directive before a loop to say it should run in parallel. It's probably not as nice as what you get in Has

If you write more C++ than python, it will have a lower TimeToWriteCode. Despite having spent years writing python I don't find it any more productive than C++. C++11 has all the nice features you might expect from python with the only

Honestly you are taking a big risk designing a DNA search algorithm something from scratch. It's akin to the risk people take when they roll their own crypto. There are aspects of this that you may not be considering, and it tends to b

I think we should be clear that for $1k you get something that is entirely different than a human genome. It's just a set of short reads that can be mapped onto a reference genome. You can't de novo assemble it, so you won't

That's a reasonable lower bound. I'm guessing based on the previous major corrections in its value. I too look forward to finding these comments in the future.

I'm curious how these pipelines fared on the NIST PrecisionFDA challenge.

Beautifully written. This thought that I have often half-pondered has now become unified and unforgettable. Thank you.

I have spent a decade walking like this, and I agree with you. It seems that he wants to make his movements clear to the audience, but in practice I would expect he is walking with short balanced steps. I walk like you describe you do, but

I have frequently wondered if the lag in productivity is partly due to the distracting power of the internet and social media. This isn't really paralleled by the other technical advances that the authors of the study this piece summar

This is true, and I wonder if someone has done an analysis of the many failures. It is impressive that something which works so well in the wild provides so little benefit when tamed. Maybe Netflix or a streaming service could pay for bytes

Actually it was a comment questioning why they don't use torrents to provide their services. And also pointing out that p2p based solutions somehow outperform theirs in many cases (for me, not US based so the net neutrality stuff is ma

Nothing. So you go to your nearest torrent aggregator and are streaming it down in 3 minutes.

290 years is really the blink of an eye in terms of human evolution, and so the title line is a little misleading. Wait another three thousand years and it's likely we will be able to measure an evolutionary effect. The article notes t

Coinbase brings a bank-level cryptocurrency consumer experience to the masses and provides a safe interface to an environment where you otherwise can easily shoot yourself in the foot. All you have to do is verify your identity and you can

Knowing them, knowing him, having been there at the time, I can only confirm that they designed the entire rise of Facebook using the principle of exclusivity to build interest in users 1) outside Harvard, 2) outside the ivies, 3) outside c

I implemented a similar model based around the amazing out of core linear learner Vowpal Wabbit. It did pretty well in the Precision FDA challanges despite being developed in two person months. I has the benefit of using fantastically less

Or there could be a signaling molecule specific to sex that directly interacts with some receptive system in the animal. Maybe it's nose? DNA sequencing would be an awfully slow signal given the technology available to the organism...

Does anyone know the state of modules (so as to support something like npm) in C++?

The "one trick" is evolution. Interestingly, that is a field of ML that is currently relatively ignored. I'm hearing people make similar arguments about evolutionary patterns for ML that were once applied to neural networks.

Why can't westerners use sci hub? Civil disobedience is much more tolerated in the west.

There is a platform under the dome to prevent standing water from entering it. Further I would expect it would be best to build on a slight rise to mitigate this issue. As for the waterproofness of the shell, as long as the higher panels ov

I wonder if they also cut themselves a raw deal in selling. They could have built a whole platform on top of WhatsApp without any innovation more subtle than copying WeChat.

It is impressive that despite not eating meat for 20 years you feel you are in a good position to talk about the realism of the meat product you have invested in.

This happens frequently with this genome editing technique. It is one of the most common failure modes.

You are arguing that we should not blindly trust someone's assertion that a product is good. For WhatsApp we have to trust someone's assertion that things are implemented as they claim. For telegram the e2e stuff is at least open
