Do we really need a $200M study? It seems like the literature is already pretty clear. https://demo.studyrecon.ai/search.html?id=214&preview=true# This example stands out: Eat a balanced diet focused on fresh fruits and

I wouldn't trust any powdered turmeric. Especially in the quantities people are consuming it these days. Buy it fresh and grind it yourself. It tastes better that way anyway.

I've seen a scientific researcher do literature review manually. Search, refine, print, read, highlight, collate. Lots of time can be saved by automating those steps (and many researchers don't enjoy it so their job satisfaction c

It's actually possible to use LLMs to assist literature reviews. We built a product that works smashingly. The key is to keyword extract, use a vector database and do search based generation. Our key insight is that the process of cita

I founded a company working to help companies use AI to organize their private knowledge. We have focused on semantic search and knowledge graphs, but we started integrating a chatbot last week and it seems a short leap from where we are.

Wasn't that the previous wave of remote work? And didn't it end badly for IT and software engineering? I'm currently cleaning up a mess left by some well-meaning but unskilled and improperly managed overseas teams. They spent

They'd act like a solar sail. Putting them in L1 would not keep them positioned. It would be possible to design an orbital scheme that would keep them in place, but it wouldn't be simple. As other people have mentioned, this idea

The word "neglect" as it is used creates an incorrect framing. But is actually a great word. The whole problem with Nuclear in the US is that we neglect the projects. Our plan around large, long-term nuclear creates a vicious ince

Can someone tl;dr? Not that the paper is too long, but I think I'd need to go back to university and major in biology or statistics to understand what they discovered and more importantly what it might mean.

I also find this unreadable but for a different reason. I'm on mobile and it's rendering unreadably small. On the one hand maybe I should put more time into my setup. On the other hand maybe we, the target audience of this sort of

This in no way matches my experience. My best employee is in his fifties. He has more experience and knowledge than the next three people put together. We call him in for difficult and subtle problems (he's a data tier expert and damn

Go look at a Tesla. The Brakes are the same as any other car. Regenerative braking kicks in first so you use it less, but it is all still there. It is exactly the same as a gas car: Same hydraulic system, same calipers, same pads, same roto

Thank you for posting that. I've never read this story before and I love it. It so perfectly captures the tension of gender and turns a common critique of gender transition on its head. What is it called when you fill the straw man wit

I've seen it personally. Totally brazen, no attempt to hide it. Two teenage girls, one had clearly done it before, the other had not and was nervous. They just openly loaded up their bags, walked out the front door and got on the bus.

Are you seriously recommending that people disable security updates as though that somehow makes anything better?

by pocw 6y ago
Accepted how? Nobody is cheering. Nobody is making value judgements one way (this was good) or another (this was bad). We talk about breaches and password dumps here all the time. It is interesting from the information security perspective.

Hashed passwords. Not encrypted. Encryption is reversible. Turning the hashed passwords into plaintext requires hash cracking.

Part of it probably has to do with his hatred of short sellers. People who short sell have a vested interest in seeing the stock they've shorted drop. They tend to make their opinions known and attempt to create a self-fulfilling proph

That works until your colo provider tells you to take a walk. Your landlord evicts you from warehouse where you host your backup datacenter space, your ISP cuts you off. It's almost like everybody drew the line at openly planning insur

Yeah but that usually means switching from AWS to GCP not, build a data center from scratch oh and by the way nobody from electricians to truckers will work with you because your platform was used to plan a violent attack on America.

by pocw 6y ago
Huh, it's almost like no provider in America is cool with your platform being used to plan an insurrection. Or open calls for violence against and murder of elected officials.

They had months of warning from AWS too. "Hey guys, content calling for violence is violation of our TOS, you should make a plan to keep that off your platform", yeah yeah whatever man.

The dude stole all the IP. He literally downloaded it all on purpose the day before he left. And took his team with him. And had a meeting with the head of Uber (a rival) the day before he left, to plan his de-facto selling of the Google se

Correct, heroin addiction is problematic. In fact, I'd go so far as to simply say "addiction is problematic" If we say that instead of "drugs are problematic" perhaps a different approach seems reasonable. Portugal
