I admire your stance but consider this hypothesis: nothing is better than nonsense. Most research leads to nothing. Knowledge is better than ignorance but research funding isn't unlimited. I estimated the average biology paper to cost

Sounds like he was doing an xray diffraction experiment? The last time (in my opinion) XRay diffraction based structure results meaningfully changed scientific discourse that affects human life was probably in the 80s or 90s. While it'

In my (possibly not the best) opinion the most important quality will be to not delude oneself with the idea that their method or field is the most important field in all of science. Unfortunately academic structures force you to think and

I don't see how that's the root cause. ClickHouse and snowflake run on your so-called slow vms on overprovisioned cloud hosts and they're efficient as hell. It's all about your optimizations. The real problem is the lack

As a biologist with a tech background (but actual biotechnology majors) - please we have enough tech bros who think they're biology's saviors. They'll just come in fascinated by some technological problem, call it the only bl

I don't know if just going to nature is sufficient to get fascinated with biology. In my opinion it takes a fundamental reset in how you think about anything you see. Humans while smart have obviously had to learn to "ignore"

800 million for streamlit is still the most mind-blowing acquisition story I've heard. Codeium being a few bill sounds reasonable for that.

I felt it loses track of things on really large codebases. I use 16x prompt to choose the appropriate files for my question and let it generate the prompt.

I started a trial Gemini advanced and the first thing I did was paste some terminal text where the python version in an ec2 was 3.10. I pasted the text and typed "upgrade to 3.12 pls" and it gave me back garbage. Went back to chat

I used the word comparable. Given they are in the same ballpark of log scale i stand vindicated in my opinion. Also there's an apple store there. RIP all the geniuses there i suppose

by ramraj07 2y ago
So if you pass through GCT every day it does become comparable to a CT scan?
252.
by ramraj07 2y ago
A. Newer CT scan machines use lower radiation doses. B. If you're getting only one scan a year you're fine and within yearly limits of radiation dosage considered acceptable. Remember that you'll get comparable levels of radi

Are you able to use o3-mini-high through these tools?

A pull request in my workplace is an actual feature/enhancement/bug-fix. That many PRs means I shipped that many features or enhancements. I suppose you don't know what a PR is because you likely still work in an environment

Time for my next round of Evals then. I had a 40 PR coding streak last weekend with mostly o3-mini-pro, will test the latest 2.5 now.

I don't know what you did there, but clearly being ex OpenAI isn't the intellectual or product flex it is: I and every other smart person I know still use ChatGPT (paid) because even now it's the best at what it does and we k

Especially because it's not a skill everyone gets just because they practice. I know because I tried for years lol.

So I train a model to say y=2, and then I ask the model to guess the value of y and it says 2, and you call that overfitting? Overfitting is if you didn't exactly describe Indiana Jones and then it still gave Indiana Jones.

This sounds like how most smart people rationalize religion as well. I mean you do you, but to me, a canvas with blobs of stringy paint evokes more emotion if it was done by an elephant or a computer ai instead of some "troubled artist

Is there a reliable way to convert an existing Parquet directory to iceberg without moving the data?

I know diabetologists in India who didn't hear about Ozempic till late 2024. Sometimes the simpler explanation is the correct one.

by ramraj07 2y ago
God damn lol. I'm interestingly not regretting the shift though. It truly is useful more often than I thought to request desktop sites and actually see desktop sites, or open two apps side by side.

I moved out of iPhone because of one such thing: the call log can only be 100 items long, like what? The most powerful processor ever, hundreds of GB and i can't see who I called last month?? I was done at that moment.

Someone analyzes your profile with the latest model for free and you're like "not impressed"

by ramraj07 2y ago
But that still doesn't exclude copilot, which is the most intuitive and genuinely useful version of ai after chatgpt itself.

Dude has been a mini celebrity chef for a really long time. He also has insane technical skills. If it wasn't for his name and those skills, no one's gonna watch some dude cooking eggs with his gopro. Also his kitchen has six fig

The main point is, it doesn't really matter if your content is technically good, it has to be genuinely entertaining. Every successful food tuber I can recollect has a very interesting character; they're often genuinely funny. Or

If anything it's politically dangerous not to advertise there.
