On their website, when I enter a digit, the cursor advances to the next input box automatically. Deleting a digit with backspace also jumps back to the previous box. Seems to work perfectly for me. Maybe fixed since yesterday?

I used to love browsing GitHub Explore Trending but in the last two years it is almost exclusively AI apps that are slight improvement on the previous trending page of AI apps. GitHub explore could be way more interesting with a simple filt

Yes, I searched for the same. No evidence this has anything to do with the European Union. More like a vibe-coded landing page with user signup form. Edit: I am certain this is one or two people vibe coding then will pitch to VCs when the w

“We have no cure. I don’t want to know.” If astronomers announced that a large asteroid might strike Earth in twenty years, and that we currently had no way to deflect it, nobody would respond by saying, “Come back when you already have the

A sign says: "Dogs must be carried on the escalator." At first glance it seems clear. On a second read, it becomes obvious that what matters is not the dogs, but whether they are being carried. Grandma calls out: "The chicken

Cool! I have worked 100% in 3 comparable systems over the past 10 years. Can you access with ssh? I find it super fluid to work on the HPC directly to develop methods for huge datasets by using vim to code and tmux for sessions. I focus on

Amazing. Your final point seems to make most sense - not the original team itself having any problems.

This topic is fascinating to me. The Toy Story film workflow is a perfect illustration of intentional compensation: artists pushed greens in the digital master because 35 mm film would darken and desaturate them. The aim was never neon gree

Yes, I spend a majority of my professional life on similar systems writing code in vim and running massive jobs via slurm. Required for processing TBs of data on secured environments with seamless command line access. I hate web-based conne

I’ve just finished reading Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs. His vision was extraordinary, recognising that even the design of the stores was integral to the product itself. Every layer of engineering was deeply intertwined with ae

Non-AI experts gives their opinion about AI, noting that the data is messy. The goal of the method was to train and work on messy data. The quote is basically pointless. Ironically, giving the original scientific article to AI for a summary

Very sorry to hear about those people. It reminded me of something from childhood. It’s no comment on this story - just a personal anecdote. We were on a family road trip, and I was wearing a new pair of cheap sunglasses, feeling way too co

Doesn’t that make perfect sense? First test in animals. If carcinogenic in animals then don’t move to humans. A lack of studies in human is hardly a basis for ruling it safe. That was a sensible simplified version of the logic during my tra

Side track, but does anyone have suggestions about how to better present such content. I am struggling with similar docs/demos. As a documentation page, each section is laid out uniformly with section heading, content, link to code and

To note, the placebo group is typically getting the best current existing treatment. Rather than nothing. Although in some cases the best treatment is still nothing, which sucks.

I would disagree with this. Regulators that I have worked with in US and EU knew what it meant. Maybe not the most amazing technical people I’ve ever worked with, but they were as competent as any random sample of pharma/tech types. Th

Interesting story. I wonder about this “technical tool” put on servers to bypass encryption. Surely encryption and decryption occurs on the user side only. Sounds more like the company owners were asked to either: (1) load software to recor

In fairness, one good thing about commercialisation is that if they don’t produce the goods in the end, it fails. In pure research it can go unnoticed much longer.

Interesting to see. The article posted is a poor summary with a final link to the original. The original has more description of the study - as they call it. However, they do not describe what the prompts were or even show examples of the h

It’s fair that my comment is not supported. The evidence is sporadic in both directions in fact. The paper linked is a big study but very weak association results. Here is a good review that includes the most plausible interpretation of the

All good points but here are three facts that I think are valid: 1. Even if salary comes from individual branches it falls under the institutional tree. Science is not individual. 2. Institution leaders understand that the workers are criti
