Does anyone know which XKCD comic the top image was? Or was it just created in the style of XKCD?

Yet they still managed to give them the CD with the diagnosis... Such a strange process

This is mentioned in the article, but it's a small piece in a paragraph so understand why it could be missed: "Somebody thought IV was not easily understandable because it resembled VI..." (in paragraph 2)

Right I agree, the new model does seem quite punitive especially if you don't have an existing business model. Imagine a new developer publishes a free app without a plan for monetization, and then it goes viral. They would be on the h

As threeseed mentioned, most free apps esp. those without a per-install revenue source (e.g., Wikipedia) will likely not use the new model and stick with the old model which doesn't charge per app install

As an aside, look how clear and well-written this web page is. I'm always blown away by how well the whole Apple ecosystem (even the the developer documentation) is designed

But you could just pay for both ChatGPT and the AI classifier, and keep re-iterating with new prompts until the AI classifier outputs a false negative right? Edit: Thinking about it, they'd probably have to eventually restrict the AI c

Is there a way to check if you've been compromised by these PyPl packages? Does PyPl have a mechanism to let people know that they've downloaded a compromised package?

As in general with associative studies, it is hard to make a distinct conclusion on causation. Do we know if alcohol decreases gray and white matter volumes? Could the causation run in the reverse direction? Bi-directionally? Or could the

IMHO, I like the original better than the after too. However, I did think this was a handy feature to point out, just probably not the best example.

(2021) Veritasium covers the story behind lead in gasoline in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA , it's a really interesting albeit sad video. If I recall correctly, he mentions this study in the video.

Ah I see, yeah this is a newish feature and still doesn't support GSuite accounts as the main driver. It just lets you link your consumer account to your GSuite (for calendars, etc.) But as it seems so many people wanted it (including

Re your Assistant question, think this should be available by: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/10265998 Do not know why it's not more marketed... a lot of people miss this!

The comment by the first John in the comment of the article here [ https://syncedreview.com/2020/06/30/yann-lecun-quits-twitter... ] adds a lot of insight too (starting with "As I understand, the social an

Agree this is great to hear, but the fact that they had X-ray diffraction data indicates this protein was indeed crystallizable no? Though the next paragraph in the article shows that DeepMind is indeed working on mapping out reliability: &

GDT_TS for AlphaFold is now comparable is at experimental levels; but that's based on the class of proteins for which we've been able to determine the 3D structure of the protein, for which there might be selection bias. I wonder

Five years ago, I would have said the following: "If someone produces an AI that you give a sequence and it tells you the protein conformation, I'd be extremely impressed". Sure there are many more things to solve in this spa

That's an interesting piece. But I wonder if it's criticizing more the idea of "working in a vacuum" without taking into account what's going on in the world, as opposed to "focused work" (which imho, can

Ah still? Interesting. Maybe supply is geographically dependent, as I'm seeing Chromebook availability in Walmart / Amazon / directly from Acer. The sub-$200 laptops are mostly used or renewed though, so maybe school district

Even for non-STEM students, the Pi setup seems fairly accessible. From a quick online search, I could find monitors for $30 - $50 and webcams $20 - $30 which is pretty price competitive with a $200 - $300 Chromebook. The Pi community would

I don't think we're arguing the functionality of the design; this is purely based on the phone's aesthetics. (And, for those of us with trypophobia, our opinion on the design is likely due to a deeply rooted instinctual and e

Not only are they "designed to allow patients as little sleep as possible", but also doctors too. Residents and doctors frequently have take on 30-36 hour shifts.. How they could effectively treat patients with this level sleep de
