What exactly has it transformed? Nothing has fundamentally changed in biology, you still have to run western blots and give mice cancer. A great example of “math” solving biology is super resolution - which was just a dud.

Because the chemists and biologists have been doing that for decades without success.

The only time I’ve seen this happen is AlphaFold. Every other time some math or software guy came into biology it worked exactly like in xkcd.

I’m pretty sure the author is implying that the new crop of ML PhDs are just not a smart group of people - at least the level of intelligence required to do truly transformative things with ML in any field. I think what you’re saying is a c

It’s the 2020 equivalent of getting your perfect vim or eMacs config maybe?

You mean like what google did with street view and convincing everyone to upload their photos on to maps?

There is absolutely something that gets lost in virtual meets. It’s not just for within team discussions. It’s also about discovering colleagues in other teams across the org. Tools like Donut help a bit but the magic is still lost.

How do you feel about it? Any feedback?

It’s 3 days a month though, and to clarify my thoughts are that you still go back home every day. How would that be a problem?

I am totally for remote work but this is absolutely a real problem, and I see my junior engineers suffer tremendously from it. One asked me what made me so successful at my job, and there were many factors but being in the office really did

If it’s 50% genetic, you’d see lineages of scientists or brilliant in whatever but it doesn’t seem to happen often does it?

Not OP, but no matter what they say take it with a grain of salt. Rising kids is like throwing dice. No matter what you do (or don’t) within normal ranges of behavior, it’s pretty much a crapshoot to predict what comes out of them. The only

When I was a kid I learned everything I could by watching discovery channel which in the late 90s was the equivalent of what you get from the Popsci YouTube channels. This was good enough for me to write a space settlement design proposal,

The irony being I know lecturers who teach at actually prestigious universities and make decent money and have none of the useless requirements satisfied.

Is he implying the same engineer works 3 shifts or that they have 3 shifts of engineers 24/7?

I highly recommend browsing through the videos in Asianometrys channel if you want easily digestible summaries on this topic: https://youtube.com/@Asianometry TSMC analysis playlist: https://youtube.com/play

While I see the irony in asking to avoid ad hominem attacks in response to an article that itself is pretty much a large ad hominem attack, do you believe there’s any facts mentioned in there to be suspect? Even the facts in one paragraph o

I’m not against OSS, just frivolous ones funded by companies who should have no business doing that stuff. It’s not news that orgs like Uber were indulging the development and release of such projects so they can keep the fairly jobless hig

Didn’t say Twitter needed only 2500 people though - and most definitely didn’t agree that you can just come in and downsize by 80% in two months.

OP says they don’t think the engineers hired by doing leetcode hard problems (and screening out the folks who can’t) does not engender a good future for the org. Your argument is “I found the interview easy, and hence it’s not that bad.” Ju

This is like all other rocket companies undermining what spacex is doing as not a big deal. You can keep arguing semantics while they keep putting actual satellites and people into orbit every month. I use chatGPT every day to solve real pr

“Predicting proteins”? I’m a biologist and I can assure you knowing the rough structure of a protein from sequence is nowhere near as important to biology as everyone makes it out to be. It is Nobel prize worthy to be sure but Nobel prizes

Alpha Fold is a game changer, but nowhere near the game changer ChatGPT(4) is, even if ChatGPT was only available for the subset of scientists that benefit from Alpha Fold. We are literally arguing semantics if this is AGI, and you're

Not sure why that guy hates Imgur so much. It’s still an image host, what gives.

TBH it’s just too much work. Maybe once you have a system up and working that might be easy but getting there seems annoying at best. Not to mention having to pay for vpn because I’m not risking a letter in the mail.

Likely not. It’s more about knowing the connection strengths and the myriad list of neurotransmitters that combine to form complex networks.

I’m not getting into a 7T ever. You feel loopy when you get up from it so it clearly does something to your brain. No way.

MRI scans in our budget MRI lab (yes that’s correct) a km away is 2500 Rs or like 60 USD and less than an hour wait time. How MRIs got commoditized in india through competition should be studied hard.
