Although the article focused primarily on AlphaFold, many other ML approaches are making impactful contributions in the general scientific field. One example is the diffusion model and its use of stochastic differential…
I personally dislike these kinds of comments. The idea that androgens aid in recovery may be known in theory, but this study provides empirical evidence to support that claim. So yes, there is scientific value in it.
What aspects of the economic studies makes it a pseudoscience? Highly empirical, sure, but so does modern machine learning.
Distribution shift in the real world data will always be inherent to any data driven methods. Unless there are major advances in continual learning for DL models, they will always struggle with distribution shift…
A 17 million parameter model (~Resnet50) takes more than 50s proof time. Is this on top of the inference time? I can see some niche applications for this system, but I am very skeptical it's ability to handle larger…
It's not impossible to see that LLMs can make finite step "reasoning" between input and output, as each block of the transformer can model probabilistic causality. Transformers are sometimes considered a fully connected…
Apple Watch has so many health features, but the main hinderance for me is its relatively short battery life - I often forget to put it back on after charging it. Has anyone tried having two apple watches so one can be…
While this may be amongst the long term goals, I don't think it's useful for military applications yet until laser com is fully online. Currently there is no sat to sat com, so there's is always ground station within…
You didn't quite get the point. As individual currencies governments exert a lot of power over their relative value to other currencies. As a whole, worlds fiat currencies hold no intrinsic value. No government can…
I suggest you look into modern economic theories and why inflation is crucial to economic development. There are two problematic assumptions in your statement: 1. Nobody would store all their wealth in a deflationary…
Yes, but one would prefer spending money using an inflationary currency since holding on to it devalues over time. As long as inflationary currencies exist, people will prefer to spending those first before deflationary…
I believe this applies to all currencies - they don't have intrinsic values. The values are derived from the market. Be it USD, BTC, EUR, or the Zimbabwean dollar. However, the purpose of currency exists as a vehicle…
I personally like the name Reels, it implies a level curation needed in the process.
Also, GPU has VERY limited memory and no virtual memory.
FYI the creators are actually charging $2/week subscription for this game. Profiting from a cracked software definitely crosses some moral boundaries.
Why not loans? Pandemic is not the fault of the airlines, just like small businesses around the world, most airlines just need a short term loan to resolve liquidity issues while the pandemic blows over. Loans are safer…
One can argue modern definition of racism has expanded much beyond race. Though I also didn't want to start a pedantic argument on the definition of racism with the original OP. Rather to point out how distastefully the…
One of the headline news from a couple of days ago, voicing support for Foreign Ministry Spokesperson's conspiracy rant on twitter. It's bizarre and make Chinese Gov look extremely childish.…
Here's the actual news from Jan 1 reporting on the 8 "rumor spreaders". They kept emphasizing that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission. It's pathetic to look at now. (sorry the article is in Chinese)…
Here is the news from Jan 1 in Chinese. https://www.guancha.cn/politics/2020_01_01_530191.shtml?s=zw...
I mean, if one is being reckless with fire and accidentally burned their own house down, but they managed to put it out before spreading to the neighbors. Can people really hail that person as a hero?
Mistakes can happen but wittingly suppressing news is not accidental nor a mistake. I was born in Wuhan and half of my family are currently holed up there. A few days before the Wuhan lockdown was ordered, coronavirus…
Baidu's realtime map has a higher count this, though in Chinese. It seems to be more up to date, with detailed patient info sometimes included in the news tab. https://voice.baidu.com/act/newpneumonia/newpneumonia
Apparently (or so I was told) that the masks with ventilation holes are not nearly as effective. Hence my original link is one without a breathable hole. If you check Amazon again, all the hole-less N95 masks are all…
Yes, scalpers swoop them up in all online stores. They are even sold out on Amazon US, Canada, UK and DE. I was told only the ones with a N95 rating can be effective against this virus.…
