I think it is possible to make predictions for all proteins encoded in the human genome. Perhaps you misread a very long and confusing sentence? Background, Neural networks have two modes 1) training - where you learn all the model weights

It will be interesting to see if these results are replicated by other models (as the authors request). Separately, I predict that: Once all the countries get to close to net zero carbon, the discussion will turn to net zero historic carbon

You maybe underestimating the hatred for Comcast :)

I laughed out loud at that. Explaining the deletion of the charger, which is effectively a price raise, through the environmental angle is genius-level marketing and margin improvement. To be clear: I support the move and think Apple's

Why not ban all ICE vehicle sales by 2025? (Except trucks to drivers with a CDL.) We need to move faster :)

"Obviously nobody likes air pollution." Really? I think that claim is false. The Trump administration is actively working to make it easier to pollute the air as the article highlights. And many other political forces favor air

What's fascinating about 2020 is that for the first time we can radically reduce our total energy usage (as you advocated) while keeping a nearly identical current lifestyle. How? Electrical systems (e.g. cars/heat pumps etc.)

Maybe not radical, but I'm have a really good experience with https://www.future.fit/ They pair you with a personal trainer who comes up with a detailed workout plan just for you. Each workout arrives as a set of video

Love to see SpaceX experimenting like this. What's so cool is they've specifically increased the rate of prototype construction (now reported at around one every two weeks) to allow them to increase the aggressiveness of their tes

Great work. Thanks a ton for climbing onto the hackernews thread! When I look at chart in the article (I haven't read the paper) I get really curious about how 'support for regulation' might break down by issue. A lot of th

You're spot on. Autonomous driving (level 4/5) has been demo'ed by a few players at low speeds, but no-one has a product to market yet. While Google/Waymo currently seems to be farthest, it will take 10 years for clear

I love your skepticism about 'intellectual hubris'! Business schools can serve a very productive education service when students take the finance/accounting tracks if they don't have those backgrounds. This allows people

Layman's observations: 1. Those statements are attributed to different organizations (Bloomberg New Energy Finance and World Energy Council respectively) but are quoted in the same article... They maybe be inconsistent! 2. If you cons

I'm personally sympathetic to "I'll need a research team and five years" missions. I think both university research and xkcd are great! But it's a critically different from YC's definition that: Hard tech = &qu

Using Sama's definition of a hard-tech product or business as "where there is doubt that the technology can be built at all", a bunch of successes come to mind. 1. Tesla (Market Cap ~$29B w/$14B+ in pre-orders) 2. SpaceX

The argument about GWh/working is an interesting way to look at the world. We need to remember that solar capacity has long life-span (say ~25 years minimum) per panel. Where coal needs to be constantly mined and burned. If you multip
