It is even more complicated than that! Some immune cells, like T cells, will actually edit their own DNA through a process named V(D)J recombination. So the immune system is actually editing some of its own DNA! https://en.wikipe

Bulk TCR sequencing cost around $500 to $1000 and captures under a million T cells. scRNA Seq costs around $10,000 and captures under ten thousand T cells. The price of sequencing is falling exponentially so my numbers can be out of date

But that’s not the basis of his argument. His argument is based on the timing of when social media usage started. I mint argue 3-4 hours or social media use alone didn’t cause depression, but had to be combined with a causal factor

After reading this article, my reaction is that yes, transformers are not the optimal model for NLP and reasoning, but transformers are good enough and scale really well on current GPU hardware. Going forward, I think hardware is the constr

The peer-review system is antiquated, developed before the internet and powerpoint presentations. Anything that facilitates interaction between authors and other researchers will be a vast improvement. Peer-review doesn't catch fraud a

The best chip production is going to smartphones. PC processors drain my battery and are slow compared to a GPU. So why would I spend money on a new PC or new PC processor?

The only proven way to live longer and reduce your risk of essentially every disease is to reduce caloric intake. So unless you are underweight, the benefits could outweigh any side effects. I am not advocating that everyone take these drug

Would I prefer an OS with a consistent UI? Yes. Would I prefer a more user friendly OS? Yes! Will I still use Windows? Yes. Why? Because I spend 50% of my time in Microsoft office, which works far better in Windows than other OS

This law is intended to stop shady repair cap repair-people from working in residential areas. Fine. This begs the question as to why so many citizens are running repair shops from their own homes? Could it be that it is too hard to start a

I loved the early iterations of Julia. It was everything I wanted… fast, simple, and readable. Somehow the language has become less simple and readable to the point I don’t recommend it anymore

Having spent over 10 years in a university and been a professor, the problem isn’t attention seeking behavior but a lack of accountability. For example, you can literally make up any data you want in a grant proposal and so long as it soun

Every new apartment calls itself a luxury apartment. Don’t get hung up on the marketing buzz words. Each new apartment that is constructed lowers the rent, particularly on old apartments. Dallas, compared to other cities, has done a fantast

I love the expanse but the first few episodes were slow and a little confusing. This is more a problem with the story writing. However, the acting, visuals, and physics were fantastic and the show quickly corrected the story telling. Amazon

Actually, she is in jail for wire fraud, not because she sold fake blood test results. I think she claimed contracts that did not exist, among other things. Reading this thread, it doesn’t sound like Adam Neumann did this

Perhaps the solution to preventing complex systems from collapsing is to built in a reset button to rest and restart. Most of us became used to regularly restating our early PCs, which is how we delt with these complex systems collapsing.
