    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…

    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 y…

    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 …

    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 skep…

    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…

    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 …

    VPN might have a part in this too. I remember when I was in China, I was connected to ExpressVPN 24/7 (whatsapp, gmail etc), and the battery drain was visibly higher than when I ha…

    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 the…

    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 …

    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 stor…

    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 s…

    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 pur…

    I believe he's referring to the absurdity of this statement, especially in relation to SpinningUp (it doesn't have any UI as it's a RL library, and the docs site are generated usin…

    I personally like the name Reels, it implies a level curation needed in the process.

    FYI the creators are actually charging $2/week subscription for this game. Profiting from a cracked software definitely crosses some moral boundaries.

    Another loss for Boeing on top of the 737MAX debacle and Covid-19. I would hate to be their CEO right now.

    Almost all major airlines in the world are receiving government bailouts: France, Germany, UK, Japan, Sweden, HongKong, UAE, Singapore. The airline industry is a notoriously cut-th…

    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 t…
