I am a bit ignorant on the topic, but is swift available for Windows/Ubuntu? Most of the deep learning scientists I know and work with use either of the two setups. I know there technically exists CUDA GPU support for Apple, but I have

Forgive me for my ignorance, but does swift have any good plotting and interactive "notebook" ability? Specifically the ability to plot images such as matplotlib. I ask this because the number 1 reason my deep learning research gr

Clinically, we have the option to sequence the BRCA 1/2 genes. It's not uncommon for this to be done if certain clinical criteria are met (such as close family history of brca or being of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.) [1]. Note: Payw

Nut bags (no giggling please!) are also super useful for getting the final mouthfeel correct. I usually do oat milk and keep it on hand for my tea.

I think you're right but for different reasons. Over the past few years, we've seen the toxicity that can come from the management of healthcare companies like they are the same as software companies. The easy example here is Ther

I whole heartily disagree. There is significant patient risk when it comes to bad testing information. Women may attempt to elect to get invasive procedures (such as double mastectomy) based on their perceived BRCA status. This may lead to

Well for one is Sarah Jeong. Despite internet conservative white males not understanding irony and sarcasm, she is a thought leader when it comes to the intersection of technology and law. I don't know her writing on science/medic

Two things: 1. 23 and Me has a history of overhyping their science when it comes to medical claims. FDA back in 2013 threatened regulatory action due to their wafarin (blood thinner) metabolism claim. https://www.fda.gov/ICE

I don't follow gaming balancing too closely, but I (naively) assume there's some reasonable analytical solution to find tuning. Like I would imagine if you're Blizzard and have logs of all the data, you could just regress rac

Do you know if there's a good API for paradox games? I have off the top of my head seen extensible mods for games, but I assumed they all were based off of the predefined Clausewitz Engine. That said, HOI4 could really use some AI lov

People have died of cardiac events and lung cancer. Some people have used e-cigarettes. Some have not. Is there evidence that connects the use of e-cigarettes to these deaths? That's for science to decide.

Well two things. You don't need combustion to make chemical changes to organic material. E-cigs still chemically change the organic compounds. We know this experimentally [0]. Second, just because it's not a combustion product, do

I believe it's the fact that it causes inflammation when your body tries to remove foreign masses. It's a good function that your body does to keep things anew. However, doing it constantly is a problem because it causes long term

Well they have correlation that remains correlated after you adjust the model for other risk factors. So is that direct evidence? No. But when you add in the other lines of evidence, you start building a case. It's sorta like a murder

Looking over the methods, I don't think this specific study included measurements of similar conference density. That said, I would suppose that most conferences wouldn't generate much PM10. Off the top of my head, you could proba

Well let us not forget that not too long ago 23 and Me swayed a little too far into this area with warfarin sensitivity (circa 2014 I think). https://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/...

Vaping certainly does damage air quality by releasing ultafine aerosol particulate matter (also known as pm10 or pm2.5) [0]. It's worth noting that these are associated with respiratory distress and can contribute to stroke and heart a

A good summary of the political economy that surrounds the US healthcare system is that people want healthcare that's: - fast - efficient - no restrictions on hospitals, doctors, or treatment - financed by taxes on the rich (de

If you are patient, you can do your bulk fermentation for 72 for additional flavor. Bonus if you also add some "discard" sourdough starter at the beginning for a more sourdough tang.

Personally I like to use ptipython (think a better version of the CLI for ipython) and SQLAlchemy whenever I'm debugging my SQLite databases. It's light, can install most places, and has my JEDI autocomplete.

1) I find it HIGHLY concerning (albeit not surprised) at the lack of knowledge by a M.D. when it comes to survey bias [0]. It's not a problem to say "hey guys, I have a highly unscientific poll here to just get feeler numbers&quot

Yes, it is. You appear to be conflating my point of how healthcare is changing with regard to payment structures with clinical guidelines which tend to have potentially more subtleties. There are some areas of healthcare where it is very cu

It's a little hard to take this article seriously when the caption grossly misidentifies a GE BrightSpeed CT scan (x-ray) with a MRI machine. My guess is the magnet was still on (perhaps incorrectly).
