This article seems to be a low quality review of other research with a clickbatey title (full text here: https://www.jpmph.org/journal/view.php?doi=10.3961/jpmph.16.... ). Pubmed is sort of like arxiv.org and the f

Just glancing through the sight it seems like some things like his insulation strategy are a bit poorly though out. Google around a bit on you'll see there is a lot of debate on how to deal with condensation to prevent rusting out the

I'm outside of Missoula. There are a few trans people on the reddit and I've heard adds for clinics offering care on the radio. Generally Montanas seem to have a "you mind my business and I'll mind mine" attitude. S

The sort of sponsorship and advertising has always been a major factor in the outdoor sports. And I mean climbers, surfers and mountain bikers have been living in vehicles doing cool things and publishing pictures of it for years...often wi

Have you had performance issues getting things to conform to functional paradigms? For example i've found that as a pipeline gets optimized for production use it needs to preallocate all of its output space and then modify things in at

To be clear I work in genetics and data analysis. I have no special expertise in treatment. I haven't experimented with fasting yet, I'm thinking of doing some sort of test of my insulin needs before and after if i do. I climb, sk

Since this is now one of the top comments, I should have been clearer. If I try something like this I'll do so as part of the proud tradition of self experimentation with a hearty skepticism of it actually producing any lasting effect.

In addition to the risk of low blood sugars (hypoglycemia which can lead to coma) in diabetics there is also a risk that someone might try something like this and then forgo other treatment (say insulin or metformin) without properly monito

I ended up in Montana. (Bitterroot Valley between Hamilton and Missoula specifically). Granite big walls and boulders to climb, powder to ski in winter, microbreweries and relatively cost of living.

I'd argue that our food supply is most at risk as it becomes increasingly a GMO monoculture. (And maybe the solution is as simple as taking measures to encourage genetic diversity.) So i mean the consequences may be orders of magnitude

I don't buy the genetic engineering is natural argument for a couple of key reasons The first thing is that with natural selection of cross breeding new strains start small and ramp up providing a natural provisional test period. With

How do you mean? It's not random in the "uniform random distribution" sense but it's certainly the product of a stochastic process (evolution)?

by micro_cam 10y ago
My point is there are all sorts of hidden complexities and 2nd order interaction between things we don't yet understand. I'd argue that this goes beyond computational tractability and is still an issue of statistical power. There

Now imagine the code arose originally by random chance, happened to be self replicating and evolved over billions of generations to include mechanisms that both allow it to viable after small changes and allow those small changes to have la

ML is about creating a process that produces models from data in a way that is likely to generalize to new data. For example if you just start trying lots of rules by hand on your fraud data set there is a good chance you'll come up wi

Wolverine's are awesome and I have no doubt they could be be trained for this. However I'm not sure it makes any sort of economic sense due to the difficulties in breeding and keeping wolverines and the need for avalanche rescues

I'm primarily a python user and agree with most of your post but I do find myself going back to R for many of the more esoteric statistical methods. Ie if i want a specific sort of penalized regression it may not yet be implemented in
