What the article speculates is a way to load up insuline in the blood that would not act if the blood glucose is below let's say 120 - but when it is above - then the insuline opens and acts. This is the fastest possible way of it to a

Oh - why it always needs to be so one-sided? When we don't like something than everything in the article needs to be a condemnation if we like the subject than there is only prise. In this particular article: if Uber is losing money by

An obvious trick to speed up supervised learning is to label and import into the training set only the images for which the model makes wrong predictions. So for most of the images the human only needs to approve the automatic predictions -

I am working on a Lego block finder - like Brickit ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27693560 ). I have not yet incorporated - but I am close to doing that. Funding is secured because I have liquidated some of my crypto.

This marble setup is a 'hidden variable' theory - the article is how quantum is different from that.

Python should have an automated testing system - something that would run the package tests on different architectures. The Perl ecosystem was really good in that - there was a testing farm comprised of personal computers people would regis

Congrats! I have been working (or rather I tried to find someone competent to work on an app like this) but it is still in proof of concept phase.

There is a progress in computers doing more of the stuff that programmers used to do: * first we had assemblers and programmers did not need to remember all those binary codes * then we had compilers and programmers could use the multitude

Hmm - this is really a deep issue here. How should we learn about these new treatments? Shouldn't we wait for the dentist to learn about it and evaluate - wouldn't someone with more background information be more suitable for that

It is about media - the interned and other media are gathering all the outliers and reporting on them - it is not that a person experiences now more events than he used to before the internet.

You are taking this page too literally - the fonts are telling - it is starup-talk! There is a serious endeavour underneath - but at this stage they prefer to advertise the fun side of their project. I am sure they have well internalized cr

The surgical team has limited size because of physical constraints - the software team does not have such a strict size limit. But we have seen that bigger teams get very very slow so we want small teams - so we look for ways to make the te

I thought you misrepresented the linked paper - as it was clearly about checking some cross-immunity and not recombining genes - but then I found out deeper in the abstract: """ Since SHC014 could not be success fully isolate

Just one nitpick - it does not need to be 'man made' to make a 'lab escape'.

The natural origin hypothesis is also pushed for ideological reasons - at this level of meta analysis we are at a stalemate. The article was good at revealing that there is not just ideology - but also material interests involved and that t

Yeah - it is a good point about people reacting differently. My sister had Hashimoto and she did diet and now her hormones are OK without any supplementation. She did it a few years ago - and every doctor she consulted (here in Poland) did

The question here is why dietary science is so unreliable? There are so many fads. Every year. Many of them with a base in a peer reviewed paper, but all conflicting with each other. And even reading this comments here: yes keto diet makes

I have been observing it at my work - the production systems were getting more and more complicated and it was harder and harder to set up dev and test environments. It also started to break the underlying system when you had to install old

That falls under point 5 - no real evidence, just thought experiments. I don't really agree with that argument - 'real evidence' is always elusive - at some point we always have to do thought experiments - but I think you nee
