David sacks and the rest of the all in venture bro crew collectively lost their shit when lina khan actually enforced our anti trust laws for the first time in decades. That is a huge reason why silicon valley elites switched to maga

From anthropic we now have Science as a PR strategy. God I can't wait until this bubble pops.

I think you're spot on, it is easier to prove (or prosecutors have more experience prosecuting) financial crimes. To give them credit-- they at least tried to get Holmes for defrauding patients too, but she was acquitted of those charg

I'll always admire clojure. Loved the simplicity and philosophy, and I wrote a few toy projects. Unfortunately I felt like I could never really take advantage of the power of clojure or do real work in it because I didn't know or

You're not alone, I use noscript on firefox for exactly that. It makes some websites unusable, but for normal browsing, that's what I use. If the website is unusable after allowing a few scripts, then I don't want to be there

Not exactly what you are looking for, but Open Secrets gets you almost there: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying Their API leaves a lot to be desired, but the data is much easier to access and analyze than the raw

This is an important point. What have the journals done? Raised their prices and business as usual. Scientific editors do nothing for data validation. There is no accountability, even after retractions. Scientific journal editors are glor

Excel is used as a database/storage/interchange format, especially after the initial analysis by someone who uses python or R. Bioinformatician does the analysis, then the PI wants to see it so they can Ctrl-F for genes they are i

It's definitely possible, but I guess what I am saying is that research in this area hasn't really been explored in the context of humans. In the lab, we use targeted genetic manipulations such as optogenetics [1] or chemogenetics

I don't know, I think that is a big jump and definitely not trivial. "Reading" neural activity is much different than "writing", and modifying the circuits/neural activity precisely enough to modify emotions. T

I totally agree and had a very similar experience in graduate school. Writing about my experiences and things I had learned (technical and project management) had a huge impact on my ability to demonstrate my knowledge and is without a doub

I am not qualified to get too in the weeds on the physics, but 'Resolution' is... complicated. Usually, when we talk about resolution we are talking about the ability to distinguish two points. The 'resolution limit' (Ab

unfortunately not, for real superresolution (i.e. resolving below the diffraction limit of light) all the current methods require expensive (and very dangerous) lasers and microscopes with all sorts of optics widgets, mirrors and computers.

I am least familiar with SIM, but you can do live-cell SIM imaging for sure. The processing is a bit computationally intensive but not so bad (and can always be done post-hoc). The big thing you have to look out for is the light intensity k

Most are, but in biology/physics STED[1] and STORM are physics based methods for overcoming the diffraction limit[2]. STED is pure physics, no math/deconvolution/AI tricks. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

For anyone interested in 'real' super resolution, we use these techniques to overcome the diffraction limit in microscopy (my field is neuroscience): - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-resolution_microscopy

I totally agree, recognition is a big deal, but also very ephemeral and kind of an empty gesture. My mentors always credit me in talks they give (they are excellent and I am happy with them), but I have spent months of my life creating data
