Yeah I'm begging these authors to at least *read* the LLM generated README's. They're so, so incomprehensible because the LLM has a super limited theory of mind for readers. They a…

Yes this is on the 777x, which is in pre-production and flight testing, seeking approvals from the FAA

> If we go in and just check the DNA for Downs or Parkinson's You should consider reading the wikipedia page about Parkinson’s disease.

Yes exactly, there are good and bad things to spend money on. This is a bad way to spend money for the reasons I explained above.

He's hubristic and selfish. None of his "research" is going to benefit anyone (himself included), making this essentially a huge waste of time and resources. Bryan will die just li…

You’re probably thinking about non-small cell lung cancers. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is still absolutely devastating. The most progress made on SCLC has just been getting peop…

Gene names aren't really acronyms in the traditional sense. Often they were originally conceived as acronyms at the time of the gene's discovery and naming, but the original acrony…

The whole article is just that someone got a spam political text about the Texas Senate GOP primary.

This is demonstrably untrue. IQ has increased consistently for decades, far faster than genetic factors can explain. Environmental factors like education, nutrition, and medical ca…

Yeah I have been reading a lot of posts like this lately. Technical blog post clearly written by an LLM summarizing something vibe-coded. They always start using project-specific j…

Ah causal data! It’s a shame none of the scientists or statisticians thought of getting causal data. How would we get that? Well maybe we could just inject amyloid into a person’s …

This is insane, I love it.

I work in this field. It’s more or less correct but kind of lacking in detail. Cancer is a property of all multicellular life. I think it’s best understood as the behavior of a dyn…

This is quite similar to how eLife does publishing. You still have to submit to them but they basically just add reviewer comments and an “eLife Assessment” that serves as the qual…

> If you're an influential figure at a top-5 department in your field ... you all hate $journal. That's the problem, they don't hate these journals, they love them. Generally speak…

I think we could understand consciousness perfectly and still find it divine. In fact, I think however it arises is probably so beautiful that it would be wrong not to call it divi…

We absolutely do know about the molecular pathways that cause smoking induced lung cancer. It’s TP53 and RB1 mutations (among many others). There are probably more than a hundred t…

> a certain age range your eyes determine they've grown to the correct size based on how well they focus A certain age -> which one? Why? your eyes determine -> How? What molecular…

That's a lovely theory, if quite imprecise in terms of the actual biology of eye development. The actually important part of science (the part that requires a lot of expertise and …

Why does focusing on nearer things cause myopia? See if you're curious at even a basic level, you'd realize that there are important *details* about stuff like this where it actual…

I occasionally say please and thank you to ChatGPT for my own sake, not for the LLM's. They're sufficiently similar to humans that allowing myself to be a jerk subtly degrades myse…

Where were you doing this? Were you ever successful? How did you do it, like what were your tactics? So many questions! I’ve never heard about modern people doing serious persisten…

I genuinely did not expect to see a robot handling clothing like this within the next ten years at least. Insanely impressive I do find it interesting that they state that each tas…

This is a very tiring criticism. Yes, this is true. But, it's an implementation detail (tokenization) that has very little bearing on the practical utility of these tools. How ofte…
