We’d have to see the distribution of GDT scores evaluated on unknown proteins to say anything about how confident we can be. If the distribution is tightly distributed around the median then great, this works really well. If the variance is

This is a big step forward, but the outstanding question as far as to whether or not this is useful for evaluating novel proteins, is going to be how good is the confidence metric at telling the user to trust or not trust the results. You c

I think the "just Google the answer" mentality to overcoming Git's obvious shortcomings is really problematic. For example, we once had a junior developer run into a problem with Git and before asking anyone else they went of

It’s cool but it won’t help prevent that many wildfires... The overwhelming majority of wildfires in the continental US are man made.

I think in the broader sense this is true and there are some concrete advantages to starting in the midst of a (normal) downturn. As usual there are exceptions to the rule. In particular, you should be wary of starting a business in a secto

I was all in favor of breaking up the ISPs a few years ago, but Starlink is coming on like a freight train, and it alone may break up the current monopoly structure. Tack on 5G from the major wireless providers in urban areas, and we might

It's published: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-b... My take: it's a garbage opinion piece that's peddling his own political views a little too hard. I think the Intercept is t

I think this is a bit too passive of an approach to generating freelance work. Everyone that I know of in consulting or freelancing is actively approaching people, drumming up conversations and trying to find things that they can help with

Every person has multiple social networks that they interact with on a daily basis. I think you're confusing your personal friend network with your larger professionally relevant network. All you need to get a job lead from someone i

I agree that packaging and dependency resolution can be a total nightmare at times. Anaconda helps to an extent, but it's far from ideal especially compared to the default options for other languages. The main problem I have with Pytho

This just goes to show how much of a total pushover their CEO is. A competent CEO would have fired all of them on the spot once the investigation was completed. You don't let someone who sexually harasses coworkers resign in order to s

It seems that if you develop severe respiratory issues with Covid that you’re going to be hypoxic for a long time, and potentially with very low O2 saturations. Under those conditions, I frankly would be surprised if we didn’t see signs of

Frankly I’m surprised to see that they’re going after Google first. Amazon and/or Facebook are much more vulnerable to an anti-trust lawsuit, and just based on some of the public information that we already have they have likely engage

Is that true though? I know that Hyundai at least has demonstrated a true level 4 system in Korea. It hasn't made its way to any production vehicles yet, but I suspect that's partially because the regulatory regime is still up in

At least with manufacturers you know who to sue if something goes wrong. I'm pretty sure that Comma has set this all up to shed as much liability as possible since they make you flash the unit with the right software.

by woeirua 6y ago
I'm not sure about that. You have to have a relatively recent vehicle for this to work, because steer-by-wire only became common place in the last few years as manufacturers started adding ADAS systems. This wont work on any car with

by woeirua 6y ago
This is a legitimate criticism. I can't for the life of me, figure out why manufacturers are still artificially segmenting their products with software. Some cars have had fairly capable lane tracing since the 2019 MY, and others stil

I have a Subaru with Eyesight, not a Toyota. But my point was more so that one of the most popular car manufacturers is giving away a system that is probably 70% as good as OpenPilot. Those videos didn't really change my mind. I'

It's neat, and a good application of the technology, but honestly I don't see this taking off because the gap between the tech and execution is closing quickly. Comma was really far ahead of everyone 5 years ago. But... we have go

I think the NY Post story is going to be discredited pretty quickly, and even if it is true, it's nothing new. That said, I think Twitter massively overreached on their efforts regarding this particular story. It would have been far m

This material only appeared in the last 10 years as a practical way of creating strong magnetic fields. Give it enough time and you'll see most MRIs transition away from the large hulking behemoth machines that we have today into much

The only way out of the current predicament is to burn your way out. California needs to have massive controlled burns before the wet season every year, especially in non-drought years, to prevent this kind of uncontained fire from ever hap

I'm not convinced that spiking behavior is all that's needed to really emulate what's going on in our neurons. Modern hardware designs are not really amenable to replicating the number or structure of synapses that we have,

Deaths lag cases by about a month. Increase in cases will invariably lead to an increase in deaths.

Yeah... Not sure I'd be spiking the football in the endzone yet on Sweden. Case count is slowly going back up. Looking likely that they'll have another wave here in another month or so.

You're absolutely right, that would be the better approach, but it is unlikely to succeed with the current Congress. A rational Congress would have recognized months ago that the economic effects of the pandemic are likely to persist

Good article, but I think it really misses some key stats. Here's a summary of the daily passenger statistics from the TSA [1]. We're still running around 25% of normal. The airline industry is getting absolutely annihilated this

That's not a really good argument for continuing down this road. The US shuttered the large particle collider in Texas after it became apparent that it was going to be completely redundant with the LHC.
