What's the minimum residency you'd accept, because 3-4 years seems quite long to me.

The link is essentially a press release. The information you want is (sorta) in the actual paper it describes *. "The images were analyzed using a commercially available AI-CAD system (Lunit INSIGHT MMG, version 1.1.7.0; Lunit Inc.), d

Speech can certainly be an action. "I'm running now" doesn't make you jog if you're sitting down, but it certainly kicks off a campaign if you were considering elected office. JL Austin called these sort of statemen

That depends immensely on the type of effect you're looking for. Within-subject effects (this happens when one does A, but not when doing B) can be fine with small sample sizes, especially if you can repeat variations on A and B many

"generally valid" is a bit of a loaded phrase. They are indeed coupled, but the coupling is complicated and may be situationally dependent. Honestly, it's hard to imagine many aggregate measurements that aren't. For exam

I read that paper as suggesting that development, behavior, and fMRI are all hard. It's not at all clear to me that teenagers' brains OR behaviours should be stable across years , especially when it involves decision-making or em

fMRI ususally measures BOLD, changes in blood oxygenation (well, deoxygenation). The point of the paper is that you can get relative changes like that in lots of ways: you could have more or less blood, or take out more/less oxygen f

I'll co-sign SubiculumCode's comment -- there's a lot of yelling about how bad fMRI is generally, which is not particularly fair to the fMRI research (or at least the better parts of it) or related to the argument. The BOLD s

We certainly had questions like that as part of bigger assessments and they were pretty reasonable. However, some of the teachers at my school also had short pop-quizzes meant to ensure that everyone kept up with the reading. These were usu

I like the idea—I hate freezing up while retrieving something I “know—-but the app itself seems a bit thin. I got to level thirteen having seen only four verbs (aller, faire, être, and parler) and mostly in the present.

Those quizzes are part of the problem. It was so dispiriting to read, even enjoy, the assignment and then get dinged because you couldn’t remember whether the protagonist put on an otherwise irrelevant blue sweater or red jacket.

I do find it useful in discussions of LLMs themselves. (Gemini did this; Claude did it too but it used to get tripped up like that). I do wish people wouldn’t do it when it doesn’t add to the conversation but I would advocate for collective

I don’t want flaky, in-my-face AI on my phone. I find a lot of the low-key things helpful: I use an app at the same time and place every day, and it’s nice to have a handy one-tap way to open it. It does a decent job organizing photos and

Exactly. If some dogs chew up an important component, the CERN dog-catcher won't avoid responsibility just by saying "Well, the computer said there weren't any dogs inside the fence, so I believed it." Instead, they shou

This is surprisingly common at big research universities! My classmate even managed to take a course on glassblowing--and have it count for her PhD!

Yup—too much potassium. Apparently you can (almost) do it unintentionally if you play tennis in the heat—though 88oz (2.6L) seems like a lot! Here’s a case report: Hakimian, J., Goldbarg, S. H., Park, C. H., & Kerwin, T. C. (2014). Deat

For context, many (most?) other EHRs are too, though they call it M now so it sounds less disease-ridden.

There are other animal models, some of which even seem to develop dementia-like symptoms spontaneously. Mice have absolutely dominated research because they're relatively cheap, lots of powerful genetic tools are available, and the PR

You can do PET imaging for it--there are a bunch of 18F-based tracers that work reasonably well. It also inversely correlates with Abeta levels in the CSF. Ne Neither of those are particularly easy procedures, but certainly better than a

I'm sure status is part of it but I think it's almost certainly driven by "availability." Big names give more talks in more places and people follow their outputs specifically (e.g., author-based alerts on PubMed or Goog

Yes! After I finished grad school (electrophysiology and imaging in large animal models, so seemingly relevant experience), I thought about becoming a clinician. However, I wasn't even eligible to apply to med school because it had bee

The company doesn't exactly have a fiduciary duty to you . It (or more specifically, its agents) have one to the company itself. This can be broken in cases of fraud, illegality, or conflict of interest. For example, in Caremark and

The timeline (short vs. long ) doesn't matter at all. The current shareholders have chosen the management (e.g., by voting for the Board) and are consequently agreeing to follow their plan. If you don't like that plan, you have

Yes! Dodge v. Ford is a tough one because Ford explicitly announced that he was using the company's money to advance his own philanthropic aim. That's essentially theft: it's the company's money, not his. However, as

It's a bit circular if the scientist's field (and prize) are for contributions to AI.
