Lots going on in the foundations as well, esp. cosmology. Particle physics is hardly the end all be all. I mean the reality is that for going significantly beyond the Standard Model you just need higher and higher energies -- energies that

Let's not take just her word for the entire field of physics (even fundamental physics) either.

In the context of skilled workers, Canadian immigration is exponentially easier than US immigration.

You know Indians aren't just coming from consulting companies right? They are individuals. Is it fair that the children of Indians who have grown up in the US have to self deport because other nationalities think it's better to su

What's your point? Dilbert is a comics strip. Not a research journal where you're making an attempt to further the understanding of an area. If you coded up a networking algorithm and fabricated data showing massive speed improvem

You have to be open to points of view which may sound ridiculous on the surface though if you can make a case for them. For example, having a model in 1800 that said that everything is both a particle and a wave would have sounded like sati

I don't think this is the same as fabrication with intent to commit actual fraud. But if you're trying to show that the editors are making biased decisions because of preconceived notions, submitting data that supports their not

The guy fabricated data to fool the editors. Academia relies on researchers being honest and not doing so -- there simply aren't any resources for journals to do independent replication of all received papers before accepting them fo

This kind of glosses over some of the very real progress made in the last 30 years -- the Ads/CFT correspondence, solar neutrinos that led to discovery of neutrino oscillation, AMPS thought experiment with respect to black holes, etc.

Surely cryo-em has helped a ton with that?

Well considering that we know everything pretty much about most of everyday physics and new physics requires energies that are almost unreachable and billions of dollars in experimental investment and/or years and decades to collect s

Well this is short enough that at the very least, it shouldn't take long at all to assess the correctness.

Beg. of 20th, you couldn't even explain why an object on a table didn't simply fall to the center of the Earth. What's left to discover with respect to laws of physics is very unlikely to be relevant to creating new technolog

Don't think there would be much evolutionary pressure to have less pain during childbirth but feeling less pain when injured during hunting (a historically male activity) would certainly be useful and I could see it being selected for.

Ugh, I'm tired of every new ML idea being described as a "deep learning technique". Yeah they use neural networks but the idea is not NN specific. Other than that, awesome paper.

AI has a lot to offer to the industry right now I think where you don't need good worst case performance (ex., information retrieval, optimization, biology, etc.). The big problems in terms of application start appearing when you try a

Nature as a journal also tends to reward hype and exaggeration over concrete results.

Market valuation is determined by supply and demand. HeLa cells are substitutable goods in that if Henrietta asked for money for the cells, it would have been easy to find some other donor. Also it's overly simplistic to say pharma com

Why is this being downvoted? If people want female and/or black symbols, there are so many others who actually made a contribution (David Blackwell of the famous Rao-Blackwell equation, Shafi Goldwasser who won a Turing award, etc.). A

Is the plasticity update guaranteed to reach equilibrium assuming the network is run on iid data (as in do the H_{ij} values reach a fixed point)? Edit: Seems like it should be reached eventually as the equilibrium point is H_ij = y_i * y_j

Not just discontinuous but have high Kolmogorov complexity (effectively meaning that the value of the objective function is random and has no real relation to the input arguments) so not a surprise that you can't do better than random!

How are arguments like this any different than arguments for Jewish quotas back in the day? What happened to judging people for the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? Making Indians wait for up to 70 years (a de

This is not Trump. This bullshit with regards to legal immigration at least has been going on for 15-20 years under Democratic and Republican administrations.

There is still a quota based on national origin which leads to wait times of up to 70 years for people from India for employment based GCs and up to 130 years in the family based category for people from Mexico. The immigration system is a

Having a better AUC score does not guarantee a better AUPR score. So a model with better AUC is not universally "better" See http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.98....
