As a software developer who spent nearly 10 years founding and building a genomic startup, this is a good start, but does have a lot of vast oversimplifications and a few inaccuracies. The people making this know what they're doing, so

Anecdotally, I've noticed an uptick in my eBay feeds recently of items being immediately relisted after having supposedly sold. This has always happened occasionally, but within the past couple weeks, I've noticed it happening for

This was a common approach called a "honeypot". As I recall, bots eventually overcame this approach by evaluating visibility of elements and only filling out visible elements. We then started ensuring the element was technically v

Interestingly, the award was specifically for the impact of AlphaFold2 that won CASP 14 in 2020 using their EvoFormer architecture evolved from the Transformer, and not for AlphaFold that won CASP 13 in 2018 with a collection of ML models e

I've gotten so much push-back over the years when I've asserted that startups are too quick to describe their products as AI in industries where the target customer considers it undesirable. I think it's done for ego and to i

It's a little worse than that. If you need to upgrade at least once per billing cycle, the system keeps charging you more and more (since an upgrade will always have a higher total cost than the previous upgrade) each cycle while accru

> And it turns out that a lot of human reasoning is statistically predictable enough in writing that you can actually obtain reasoning-like behavior just by having a good auto-complete model. I would disagree with this on a technicality

Do you mean for AI to do the entire job of researching, creating, testing, manufacturing, and distributing a cure, or just for AI to be involved? And do you mean completely eradicating a disease, or just producing a cure for it? And do you

First, I agree it's important to put Tesla recalls in context with the greater automotive industry, so I think what you posted is great info. The only thing I'd disagree with is that the numbers compared to Tesla, and relative med

I did something similar to this a while back with a one-liner aliased in my Bash includes, called gitsum (short for git summary). alias gitsum='git log --pretty=format:"* %s" --author `git config user.email`' #myse

I think my favorite part of this prompt is that it starts with, "Please..." With this new class of products based on crafting prompts that best exploit a GPT's algorithm and training data, are we going to start seeing pull re

A lot of good feedback here. One additional thought I'd provide is that I wouldn't rule someone out based on a "Contact us for price" button. I'd click the button, let them know what you need, and then let them rule

I have what I call my 80/80 rule of early-stage startups, which is that for 80% of new startups, 80% of what they need is CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete). So basically, input data in this format, store it in this format,

This seems to be a prime example of the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule. About 12 years ago, I had built something to do something similar and published how I did it [1]. It was a very simple process, which my younger self called &

Saying the effects of masking on younger age groups and with cloth masks in this study were statistically insignificant is also a misrepresentation of what the study found. The actual paper itself can be downloaded here: https://

There's another problem with the article's argument. It contends that the many studies on mask effectiveness have various shortcomings such as not being specific to kids, or having vaccination rates as a confounding variable. And

So they included the SSNs in the HTML source, and then said the reporter hacked and unencrypted the HTML by reading the non-displayed SSNs in the source. That's like taping the SSNs up to the inside of a tinted window and then saying t

Nice. I've actually built a startup doing exactly this a few years ago, called PriceLocal [0]. Though, unfortunately, it never really got off the ground in terms of traction. We ended up spending I think around two years building out t

If I'm not mistaken, the studies indicated that in-person schooling could be done relatively safely with proper precautions, but in the US, most schools didn't/don't have the means to implement many of the precautions ou
