I feel this makes some fundamental conceptual mistakes and is just riding the LLM wave. "Semantics" is literally behavior under execution. This is syntactical analysis by a stochastic language model. I know the NLP literature uses

That was my suspicion as well. This is outside my area of expertise, but from what I can tell the dosing isn't (multiple) orders of magnitude larger. From the article, they mention about 4 times higher dosing than detected in humans wh

Interesting! Some overlap with these Firefox add-ons: - Tree Style Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... (more simplistic, no session saving functionality) - Tree Tabs: http

Comissioning it is a huge conflict of interest though, esp since it's used as promotion material for their consulting. Reminds me of the study saying "a teaspoon of honey per day is healthy" with funding from the American Hon

Engprax being a consultancy that comissioned the study, mostly for self-promotion. Hazardous levels of sodium with this one.

If anyone works in bioinformatics, please, please, for the love of god, generate your own unique IDs. Database identifiers are not generally unique (the same id might get reused for e.g. protein variants). Even sequences are problematic: I&

Side-note: I believe in many such cases (cancers and other serious diseases), the "placebo" is actually the existing standard treatment (not sugar pills), as it would be unethical to withhold treatment.

From the post "It appears to be a pretty standard stealer, attempting to grab cookies, passwords, wallets, etc." and by the look of the decrypted payload, it's targeting Windows.

It still largely comes down to incentives from what I've seen. A lot of times all anyone (from the researcher to the reviewer) cares about is the paper. Journals don't check that code actually works, and a lot of researchers don&#

Just to nitpick > strong positive correlation between altitude and suicide rate (r = 0.50, p < 0.001). That is not strong. Put differently, altitude only explains 25% of the suicide rate. I know some fields have lower thresholds for

Re: all the mentions of Sci-Hub, I assume the organization intends to keep a professional image and avoid legal trouble, so they won't just come out and say "just pirate it". Plenty of institutions consider the use of Sci-Hub

Interesting! The benchmark appears to be using only random data though. Any measurements for partially sorted or reverse sorted data?

This offering seems largely educational, this stuff being what people learn in bioengineering degrees anyway. And this stuff isn't really plug-and-play :) Most beginner attempts will simply fail (e.g. dead target organism, no change to

Engineering arbitrary modifications is incredibly difficult, due to a myriad of factors, like working against evolutionary optimizations, lack of knowledge of the target organism, reaction pathways that don't go quite like we've s

It can be very difficult to step outside one's own area of expertise and see things from an outsider or beginner perspective. Things that are obvious for you aren't for others. This is true for many fields. Builders especially are

Ah, my bad. I'm on Arch and it packages cal, not ncal. Wasn't familiar with it and it looks like the flags are different. Because why not...

I see there's a -v flag for vertical layout which matches horizontal listing better.

Neat! I was thinking of hacking something for org-mode (to support creating events and gcal sync) but this is definitely good for quick lookup.

Side-note on digital calendars: What I'd really like is a continuously scrolling calendar to help with long-ish term planning (3-4 months). Most apps are stuck in the single-month page view analogy to physical calendars, which for me k
