GPT-4 is better than most Quora experts. I hope this was not a critical dataset.

I think the main blocking point is that TeX algorithms are near optimal for a lot of the technical typesetting and everything else looks somewhat off to the astute readers, and those readers are repeat consumers of the technical texts.

I was addressing your point that: > lambda functions in python have as much expressive power as any function. There is no fundamental reason why Python doesn’t have let, and there is no fundamental reason to not be able to catch exceptio

Lambda functions in Python cannot contain statements (you couldn’t do a try/except block, or a while loop); they cannot have assignments, or multiple expressions. They don’t feel syntactically as expressive as other functions in Python

(not GP and I agree with you, and wanted to add some additional thoughts that may help others.) The comprehensions are great and have a functional flavor, sure. But when you hit the corner cases in Python you feel that the addition they pro

The plan has always been to build the robots together with the better AI. Robots ended up being much harder than early technologists imagined for a myriad different reasons. It turned out that AI is easier or at least that is the hope.

I am not sure that GPT-4 is not better in a fundamental way than GPT-3.5. To me they seem like night and day. If GPT-5 is a similar jump, it will be impossible to compete without using it (or using a related / similar model). Yes they

This may not be exactly what you’re asking about: in my mind, a realistic and practical solution is to have large language models do the search, look up many of the top hits, avoiding the advertisements and clear SEO, and then report back w

I think that in the first (ambiguous) phrasing there is an implicit (common-sense?) understanding of: the employee shall be reimbursed for all expenses if the employee asks for it or wants it, ie the employee has the right to ask for and on

The bibi binary notation encodes shift of bits very interesting ways. Take 1, 2, or 3 (only some of the last two bits set) and shift by two bits and you get a left-right mirror image; take 4, 5, shift by one and you get upside-down mirror.

Yes that is the standard language in the field. It does not refer to the number of marketed products. Look up the number of novel drugs approved by the FDA per year. It only recently exceeded 40 per year, and the FDA has not existed for ver

No. The analysis in the paper above referred to molecules vs the snippet in the fda referred to products. More generally, other than marketing materials to doctors or patients or very rare exceptions talking about formulations etc, the sci

Skimming through the discussions here, I thought that perhaps we could change how we teach biology in high school and instead start by teaching stories of drug discovery using practical examples that motivate concepts that can then be discu

Also, and totally minor: there are nowhere close to 19k different approved small molecules. The same drug can be included in multiple products or formulations bringing that number you mentioned to 19k marketed products. Each generic formula

Hi there. Apologies for any confusion. I was clarifying the intent of the first comment in this thread. I will add some impressionistic comments below in case it helps your future service. Even when a drug target is unknown, or remains mys

This is commendable, of course. I just wish that politicians understood the extremely high cost of treating diseases today. Discovery of a single completely new drug costs many billions of dollars on average, and it may be in line to exce

The GP was talking about pharma. Proteins are not niche in pharma. Everything else may be niche in that domain, but proteins make up more than 95% of the targets of the pharmaceutical industry.

There is a nice explanation at the end of the letter: “While PCTC simulations do not allow you to go back and alter your past, they do allow you to create a better tomorrow by fixing yesterday’s problems today.”

I recommend Olivetti for focused writing with Emacs. It is a simple mode but somehow it takes me back to days of writing on a typewriter. Occasionally I add a focus mode to fade out the other sentences or paragraphs. Maybe I’ve just condit

The supplement discusses how they presented the task. Notably, they first gave all the training examples and then told the model what the task is and didn't ask it to reason or create any context before spitting out the answers. So b

Not sure I follow. NAS works fine at home (though it may still need a backup to a different physical location to reduce physical risks like fire or flooding)—-do you mean a solution that allows you to access NAS safely from any location?
