Here’s a link to the abstract: https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2025.43.16_suppl.85... apparently it was prospective and randomized. I’m a little shocked by the effect size.

I'll grant that we could send humans to mars sooner if we really wanted to. My point is that not achieving a bigger dream doesn't make current progress a hype wave followed by a winter. And "LLM's just make plausible loo

this attitude is so ridiculously disingenuous. Surely if a computer can score incredibly well on math olympiad questions, among other things, "a computer can make plausible-looking but incorrect sentences" is dismissive at best. I

they didn’t submit it here - I’m not sure they bear a responsibility to make sure their work is accessible to HN or any other target audience. If you don’t find an otherwise respectful and substantive blog post useful, perhaps best to leave

An unsophisticated person looks at this and says golly I better get tan! A somewhat sophisticated person says something like the above. People who change the world will wonder there’s something there. especially given the sober and candid e

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. It is true (at least with a non-constructive proof) that if you pick a 'random' real number then it contains all possible PDFs with probability one ( or that the set of numbers for w

It says mAP right above the table. If you know what mAP is then you know the units. Professors will rail against imprecision to undergrads and young graduate students but they use it all the time in real life. I can already hear my professo

Surely there's something to learn here though. I haven't read the original paper but a quantity that's preserved across brain scales is either an artifact or a neat insight. Your criticism reads like someone accusing economis

In my experience, you are way off base. Doctors can be very arrogant but I've never met someone from another profession who could point me to research articles regarding their proposed plan of action. Doctors at major hospitals are oft

Your analogies would make more sense if you spent 2 hours on documentation for every hour you spent coding or bug finding.

Your description of the localization approach is accurate, but this system is almost certainly Brainsight, given the screen shown in the image at the bottom, the IR camera in that image, and the shape of the tracker arm. The general approac

FWIW, it's not like the doctor is going to send you home with a diagnosis based on this screening. The psychological burden would persist only until further testing and analysis. And in any case, human radiologists have FPs and FNs, to

FWIW that social standard, and the mindset behind it can really penalize some fields. FWIW, in some fields of neuroscience it is common even for very successful phds to not publish before defense, and a single paper requires massive amounts

Thank you. “Obvious” can be a dangerous concept, especially when paired with sarcasm.

I agree that children have historically put in a lot of work. The premise of the article is that the “Maya method” makes them more likely to volunteer to do so. At least that’s what led the author to try to engage the toddler in chores.
