I mean its fair to say that its deliberately on the nose. However, I would argue that despite being definitionally correct, Palantir still represents a misinterpretation by discarding the works in their whole. I brought it up because postmo

>Postmodernism did indeed follow modernism and come into being as a reaction to modernism. I definitely agree that, strictly speaking, postmodernism is a somewhat loose label for an eclectic set of ideas and expressions following moderni

This is only tangentially related, but regarding: >>Post-modern?! >It's a joke. If Neovim is the modern Vim, then Helix is post-modern. It's interesting that postmodern is so often used by people, perhaps less familiar wi

There's a weird intersection in ultra-elitism where true blue-blooded snobbery is indistinguishable from middle-class envy.

It's a good video. He based his work on / followed the protocol described in the Nature paper published by the lab mentioned in the article ( https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25476 ).

Completely agree, I think that an abundance of caution is extremely important to practice when engaging with these systems, especially given the political climate. I just think that discussing counterfactuals in this particular case is unpr

You're missing the point. Obviously people need to be careful right now. But framing this situation as the fault of victims rather than the fault of bad policy makes it seem like bad things things only happen in response to conscious d

I think this is placing the blame on the victims rather than the policies that are actually allowing these things to happen. Like the PI clearly made a mistake, but it's a minor one whose consequences have been made wholly disproportio

I mean I still think this is a good idea. Seems like a combination of poor communication and probably an incomplete understanding of edge cases but illegal parking is a huge problem in NYC and even though there's a snitching program I

To be clear, I don't think anyone distrusts the benchmarking work nor even the reported architecture, but also no one should need to operate on faith when it comes to work that presents itself as groundbreaking. Probably the first thin

I mean it shouldn't be enough to publish in nature. The whole point of science is that it can be validated. It's totally fine that they're hosting their models for free on closed servers with limits, even though it's not

I meant complicated as in not necessarily good/bad. I agree it's not complicated in the general sense that it's an intrinsic part of supply and demand. That said it's definitely more complicated in how to article is disc

I didn't see anyone saying induced demand in and of itself is the thing being avoided, just that induced demand for driving caused by highway construction is being avoided, as this implies that traffic won't be alleviated by incre

Fountain Pen Hospital in NYC is also pretty good. Kolkata is probably a lot less expensive though haha

I feel like stock counts haven't really been considered in this modeling which is fairly non-trivial as each outcome isn't as binary as rock-paper-scissors. There's an argument to be made that if Zain is locked in and you hav

Idk, this article seems like it's from the perspective of someone either entirely removed from subculture, or like, just failed to think clearly about the intersection of online spaces and identity. The main point of the article seems

Better reference would be an ELISA test (which is actually brought up as the reference in the paper)[^1]. That seems to also run about $5 per kit per antigen[^2]. However this device seems to only require the test strip to be replaced, wher

Sensitivity matters in this case because the medium is saliva which contains a fraction of the antigens contained in serum. Specificity is challenging when the biomarkers are non-specific and you only have 1 testing modality but that seems

I appreciate the links but I think this actually misses the point. The novelty isn't in diagnosis of cancer but in sensitivity/cost-efficacy in detection of known biomarkers for breast cancer (and associated risks of recurrence, e

Wow, I love how the physical copies of Fabrica are as interesting as their author and their historical context and importance to Western medicine. Another interesting copy is the one bound in human skin at Brown.

Say what you want about Facebook, the size of their dataset and computational resources definitely make them competitive, and their data science and ML teams have been always top notch. I think the Verge is missing the mark with the headlin

I think pretendo kinda does this? Someone who's more familiar should probably confirm/give caveats but I believe at the very least there are tools to pull down courses + metadata, but I don't known whether a public repository

How so? I mean, you can argue that Russia defaulting was (arguably) irrational, but the market response to it was fairly textbook. I might be wrong, but even if they didn't get killed by margin calls, weren't the losses on their b

This was pretty fun! Sometimes the stories were a bit harder to parse than others, but honestly, that's pretty reflective of what it's like being a technical person communicating with non-technical people. Hope to see this again n

I know Caltech did/does use it in their undergraduate core(?), and even has Dr. Prakash speak w/ the students. That said, I'm pretty sure field application of the device hasn't really panned out and runs into resolution

The concept of journalists trading on the news they break is coincidentally making waves right now with this new startup called Hunterbrook[^1]. I assume that outright misleading headlines won't be something they'd risk, but it&#x

I didn't intend to portray it as a large part of my reasoning. It's not really any part of my reasoning at all except to illustrate that the sort of absurd argumentation that lead to the regulations Ng is criticizing[^1]. These li
