I used to mainly use startpage.com, but when they were sold to a subsidiary of an adtech company, I stopped using them.

If one only trains the model to correctly identify a disease (e.g. maximising the correct identification and minimising the error), then there is no space for the model to be "racist". I don't question that there is a signal

> Then there are a lot of small details like the fact that sin and cos return numbers in the 0..1 range instead of 0..2Pi range. The [0,2pi) interval is rather strange for an output or do you mean the arcus functions?

I am maybe totally naive, but if this feature is bad, then why do all of these models even include race in the training set? Removing it would also remove the potential bias? How is self-identified race potentially relevant for disease iden

In my opinion, Windows ME was worse. I decided to use Windows 2000 and then XP. 2000 was very stable compared to what we were used to with the 95/98 series.

SpaceX launching a Tesla into space for a test flight is firstly benefiting SpaceX and then Tesla. It is first and foremost a commercial entity working for profit and not scientific progress. That might be a side-effect, but I wouldn't

Although the results look good, I don't think you could draw this conclusion. It is just an indication, but only a proper study with control groups etc could lead to such a conclusion. Edit: I see that the comment has been changed, but

This is diametral to my experience at a European university. Could this be a cultural difference?

Studying anything at a university is not an apprenticeship for any job, but basically learning and doing science. If one loves History as a scientific subject, just go for it. Often, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you could r

You have probably done this already anyway, but it is worth checking the travel insurance included with your credit card. Many people are overinsured when it comes to travel (overseas medical) insurance.

Assuming you mean the linked "Fitt's law", I don't see how this would apply here. If the icon size and the distance are the same, this law wouldn't differentiate between the button being in the middle or on the left

The same applies to Popper and Feyerabend (at least in German). Popper's writings are pretty clear in general in comparison to other philosophers of his time.

The space could be a graph ("network") and the edges could be e.g. links or some measure based on similarity.

I think I remember seeing this in "The Art of Electronics" for actually amplifying shot noise for a hardware random number generator.

I think this is one of those things that superficially sound not that complicated but when you look closer, it is a gargantuan complex task. If I think only about Photoshop and PSD, this seems terrible to implement and maintain. Also, I gue

How do you define a diff or merge for such files? Having a history available and branches (e.g. alternative versions of the same image) that can't be merged back seems to me to be still a version-control system.

Thanks for pointing out that both games are from the same company. "Game Dev Story" is highly addictive and I also had to uninstall it some years ago because of this...

To answer my own question, a PhD thesis by Yipeng Huang [1] from 2018 discusses shortly a comparison of a simple Black-Scholes example using Euler-Maruyama and an analog computer (chip). Although the analog system seems to be a bit faster i

This happened to me as a young teenager. I tried to figure out which part of the power supply was broken. The case was opened, I measured some parts, connected it, turned it on and tested if it was working again and disconnected it before c

I would be also very interested in the costs. It certainly saves some time, but how does it compare to etching your PCBs at home?
