Based on past experimental data, we use ML to predict how effective a given CRISPR target site will be. This information is very valuable to our clients.

I agree that the voice sounds pretty bad, but I think the 'lifelike' part comes from the intelligence part. I.E WA -> Washington, and 75F -> 75 Fahrenheit

I happened to be reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins and Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter at the same time, and both of them point at exactly this being the reason for consciousness. I was stunning at how both reached the s

Efficient renewable energy is great, but isn't the problem storage of that energy? Without storage, the energy generated by renewables needs to be used up by the grid immediately. Won't most of it be wasted?

I never got around to putting it on github, but its very easy to look at the original source code of any chrome extension, its not protected at all. By all means look through the code, there's not a lot of it :)

On the subject of YouTube related chrome extensions, I created one called WikiTube a couple of years ago. Its super simple, and just adds relevant YouTube videos to the top of Wikipedia pages. I'm quite happy with it https:/&#x2F

I have a friend that worked in Amazon for a while. He told me that after outages are repaired, there is a spike in sales but that it is never enough to cover the loses. The revenue does just disappear.

There are quite a lot reviews from people that have had negative experiences applying to Citymapper on Glassdoor. Would you care to comment?

I completely disagree. Yes, we need to quantify tradeoffs between models mathematically, but that does not not require knowledge of the mathematics behind the models themselves. With cross validation, I can estimate the effectiveness of man

The mathematics of the model you end up using at the end of the day is such a small part of the overall picture when making use of machine learning.

* Since the gravity is a 6th of Earth's, launching space exploration vehicles from the Moon would be much easier and thus cheaper. Could someone explain this to me? I understand launching a rocket from the Moon would be much easier tha

Along the same lines is Moral Tribes by Joshua Greene. I learned a huge amount about the human condition from that book.

Is it possible to run this algorithm efficiently for a large number of users? My intuition is telling me that the naive implementation its factorial time due to the problem of selecting combinations of users and posts to test.

I just registered the infamous Amy’s Baking Company restaurant without any verification. Even though it is all public information I'm looking at and I can't do any harm, it feels as though I shouldn't have been allowed to do

Do any of the books go into detail explaining how and why successful strategies worked? Historically that is. I wouldn't expect any strategies outlined in a book to be profitable today, but I would be interested in how a strategy was f

This is a common problem in policy making known as the Lucas Critique[1]. But I don't think that it justifies avoiding any change to the voting system [1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_critique

I don't know whether you're right or not (that this particular fund is just a lucky survivor), but I don't like this argument. The classification of anyone that beats the market as a lucky unicorn is logically impermeable. If

My Machine Learning professor uses iPython notebooks to teach the content in a format much like this. I think its a fantastic way to present it. You have working code snippets right next to theoretical LaTeX formulas and all of the text and

How the heck do people come up with these equations? Is it purely mathematical knowledge, knowing what functions look like when plotted?
