How is the BBC of all "the worst" element of public media? Compared to what? I have not yet seen a better public media outlet (there are some good pan-European collaborative projects but nothing of the scope of the BBC).

What happens at the cellular and molecular level is really not so different from what happens in human societies. I am not quite sure to what extent you mean this. I would add that the bottle neck on evolutionary futures for our genes imp

really? i did not know that. that's cool. are there resources I can look at how this would work with comments/edits tracked by collaborators?

I would be very interested. Thanks

hm, that is a fair point. yet, don't you also think that it is a little endemic on hn, and knee-jerk reaction, to jump on certain phrases? like...a trigger :P? would you think this is a universal response (and therefore problem) or per

The waste of money on a stupid idea is offending the author in light of the increasing issue of wealth discrepancy and homelessness in SF. This may not be offensive to all, but is not inappropriate usage.

Not many people here seem to have read the article, or read so quickly to misinterpret it. This is not a rant about 'appropriation' or naming choices - that's only one of the facets of ignorance by the founders discussed in t

by kmonad 9y ago
The article is not centered around the choice of name, it's an example. The offensiveness, to the author, comes from more than that.

by kmonad 9y ago
Did you read the article? That very statement by the founders is discussed and contextualized within. Where's the lie?

Interesting indeed. It is therefore more likely that I should have asked "How does Amazon know who I am on Facebook?". I suspected this could be the directionality (weak attempt 'vice versa'). Thanks for the special insi

The squid symbiosis is mentioned in the article. Oh and btw, it's octopuses or octopodes (greek not latin, fyi).

Hi, post docs in the USA often hold J1 Visas. Afaik this means: no intention to immigrate, and no right to start a business. But life plans may change, and thus both these may become problems. What advice do you have for entrepreneurially m

Here are the first sentences of the first comments on this thread I read: Is this all that surprising? I was surprised this was surprising. I think the issue is local optima. Does not seem to me to be like that. This makes sense. ...you guy

I'm glad you are saying this. Today, especially on forums like here and perhaps reddit, autism is almost a badge as it is used frequently simultaneously with high intelligence. Yet, there really is not very clear evidence for this (the

What is GP? Why do you use an undefined acronym for your case in point?

by kmonad 10y ago
You're right. In that case, I would worry about the high dimensionality of that array. Does MiniBatchKMeans do some internal dimensionality reduction?

by kmonad 10y ago
Hey Ahmed, nice write up! One thought I had was that I would be careful using KMeans on tSNE transformed data. From my understanding, while tSNE preserves local relationships between data point, it (heavily) distorts long-distance relation

Certainly our understanding of the world is improved, no? When you mean 'tangible' in the sense of 'solving a real world problem', i.e. an immediate application, then I feel this is getting a little circular. I simply re

May I just point out that 'science is stagnant' is not only hyperbole, but wrong, as disproved by my examples highlighting amazing achievements in biology and mathematics. Unless you would like to propse neither are amazing feats.

by kmonad 10y ago
I think you misunderstand, what you are saying is my point. I argue that science, unlike the parent comment's claim, has not stagnated but made amazing progress. Yet, that when seeking to identify scientific progress by looking at new

Do you genuinely believe this is an insightful response? Without knowing your background, this makes it seem rather likely you are arguing from the 'larger population' point of view. Given the forum, let's assume you're

Why wouldn't you see an elected government's policy as voluntary, ultimately?

I think it is cool that there is evidence for these two states in water. I don't think, however, that the biological relevance was made particularly clear. There is hardly any life on earth for which these temperatures (upwards of 45C)
