AGI and human intelligence don't necessarily have to work the same way. While many of us assume that they must be very similar, I don't think there's any basis for that assumption.

That trial was specifically for familial types of hypercholesterolemia, which are strongly genetic. Not clear that it would also work for run-of-the-mill high cholesterol, although it is possible.

Not the OP, but surprisingly it didn’t take long. I just worked through the helix-tutor and was good to go in a few hours. Helix isn’t simply an alternative set of keybindings—it’s a different way of thinking about selections and actions. O

I just moved back to Cleveland, and I signed up for Cleveland Broadband (clevelandbroadband.com), which is incredible! I pay $50/mo for 1 Gb/s download and upload speeds with no contract or temporary introductory pricing. The best

Kagi doesn't need to win, and they know that. Kagi just has to focus on serving a tiny percentage of Google power users in order to be profitable and induce Google search to compete.

Yes, you can certainly do that, but I wonder how long the appeal and approval process took? I'd bet it's measured in months.

It doesn't sound like that poster operates as a journal, and that makes sense. Academic researchers need to publish papers in long-standing and highly respected journals in order to be promoted and eventually gain tenure. Journals do n

I also work in biological sciences research, but I'm more skeptical of peer review than you appear to be. My main criticism is that peer review is an n=2 process. Why not publish an unreviewed pre-print in bioRxiv and explicitly solici

Owner is definitely not innocent either. Nothing to be praised in this story for anyone.

I don't think authors need to credit AI in their written works, but I do think this is the double-edged sword of claiming partly AI-generated content as your own (for reference, the WGA recently won the right to claim AI-inspired and p

Definitely not something that should be endorsed as the hacker mindset. This is a scam and an overall detriment to society even if legal.

Those juries can also be manipulated and are laden with human biases that can undermine justice.

Sure, but eye candy/exclusivity were certainly not the dominant reasons the iPhone succeeded. The early iPhones were $299 with 2-year contracts—definitely not prohibitively expensive for a huge number of people. Eye candy…sure the iPho

Completely disagree. You're just listing features and assuming they're all equivalent (e.g., 7 features is better than 5 features). What the iPhone got right was that it was actually intuitive for a regular person to use—it didn&#

Worth noting a practical counter argument against e2ee: the vast majority of people are much more susceptible to losing all of their data because they forget or lose their encryption key compared to having their data compromised by admin st

Having listened to podcasters discussing these ad brokers, it sounds like this is actually somewhat common. Some ad brokers take months to payout or never payout at all (usually the broker has gone out of business).

It's not about fixing poor sleep. Chronic sleep apnea causes other downstream effects like pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure, which are the main things we're trying to avoid by using CPAP machines.

This entirely depends on context. Replacing “model” with “temporal Vision transformer” in the title would ensure only people “in the know” understand what this even is, which severely limits the reach this post obtains. The point in posting

This is true, but these custom configurations have become so ossified into each hospital's workflow that there's minimal hope of reversing the mistake.

I’m a doctor and have used Epic and other EMRs extensively. The most accurate thing I can say is that Epic is the least horrible EMR available. It’s probably a 3/10 overall while everything else is much worse.

You don’t have to have a strong stomach if you don’t pay attention to the market. Buy and hold or “set and forget” are legitimately good strategies at least in part because of this reason.

You can do it in Raycast along with a lot of other shortcuts outside of web browsers. I actually like it better through Raycast because it acts as a universal search, app launcher, calculator, 1Password interface, etc. that's always av

The plan seems very clear to me. They developed a better charger that helped kickstart the market and gave them a competitive advantage. In the future, differentiating on a charger becomes a disadvantage as the EV market gets larger and Tes

During the Digg migration, the main criticism I remember is that Reddit was ugly but still usable. For casual users of the fediverse, I think the criticism is that kbin, Lemmy, and Mastodon are actually too confusing to understand and there
