This is objectively correct. You can't get trademark on descriptive things (or abbreviations thereof). If I made a generative pre-trained transformer, I need to be able to accurately describe it. Just like Medtronic can't get a tr

The way the NES and SNES work is that once per frame you read from the memory address mapped to the shift register to get all the bits out, one at a time. For certain inputs you only care if it's pressed now. Others you compare to prev

Were you checking to see if the button state changed between reads? Or were you reading a 1 as "down" regardless of whether the previous read was "up"?

This video is…weirdly researched. Like, they researched the effect of cutting added dietary sugars for various lengths of times, and picked seemingly random bits to talk about from the research. Please don't give it much weight. Also,

Hospitals in the US are actually pretty concerned with hospital acquired infections. For the sole reason that medicare/medicaid and insurance typically don't cover costs associated with them. So the hospital itself is on the hook

I just want to emphasize that, currently, CAR-T therapies are not particularly effective for solid tumors, which make up the majority of cancer diagnoses. They're currently only good for leukemias and lymphomas. They're also not

They're being very cagy, but it's quite likely they're working on "fast" maskless technology. Basically going from FPGA to chip in low enough volumes that maskless makes sense. It'd be a small, but lucrative, n

As someone who is familiar with LoRa, but not LoRA, I was confused as to what they could have possibly been using LoRa for to finetune an LLM. The internet has a lot of acronyms, and a lot of jargon, and a lot of people doing seeming absurd

It doesn't. You need to generate models for use on the neural engine, which apple did for Stable Diffusion, but this is just taking advantage of lots of fast RAM and lots and lots of threads, if I understand it correctly.

This is very interesting, and I think massively underestimates the variability in how small molecular drugs are affected by the body. Small differences in molecules can have drastic effects on where, how, and how quickly they're adsorb

There's an acronym in lexicography that I can't remember right now, but the effect of it is that people try to ascribe a nautical origin to everything. I worry this might be a little of that, but it's a fun story regardless.
