    Funny to see that they did not include Fable 5 in their GeneBench and LifeSciBench comparisons because "it does not answer advanced biology questions and refuses the majority of qu…

    I presume all the Foundation AI companies have been doing this for years, to avoid training models on their own generated data?

    The microbubbles in scuba diving that cause the bends are the ones trapped in joint space fluid. That fluid doesn't circulate at a useful rate, so unfortunately you can't really "b…

    This is a great puzzle game. I think it actually teaches the concept of "piece coordination" in chess very well. One suggestion is to have all enemy pieces move simultaneously. I e…

    In real-life, before the election there is a margin of error on the support of a bloc. If you interpret a "tie" in this game as "either party could win within the margin of error",…

    The game stores and allows you to see the RNG seed that controls the run's events and layout. The developers want players to be able to share seeds that produce interesting runs. T…

    The only reason I think biotech companies are not yet raising hell (and invoking the False Claims Act) is that Thermo Fisher's antibodies are already known to be notoriously bad, a…

    I'd treat this about the same as datasheets for mechanical or electrical parts. When I buy an electronic component as a regular consumer I expect the datasheet "typical" values to …

    In case people don't realize, this is satire.

    Man, I really tried but I can't even get through the article because it sounds so AI written. I feel like I'm scrolling on LinkedIn...

    What is the advantage of this Monte Carlo approach over a typical numerical integration method (like Runge-Kutta)?

    Is there a visualization of the glider in the thread? Would love to see how it evolves with one dimension being time.

    Be rest assured Ben’s previous job was in the medial imaging industry. While he worked on MRI machines rather than ionizing radiation, I think he’s very well aware of the dangers o…

    I’m not a mathematician, so could someone explain the difference in usage between Lean and Coq? On a surface level my understanding is that both are computer augmented ways to form…

    Presumably they want to eventually put a human inside it, in which case having a humanoid robot to work off of wouldn't change the aero calculations and designs too much. The artic…

    Both OA and RA involve some inflammation (-itis means inflammation). RA is more T cell driven inflammation (and clinically visible) while OA is more macrophage driven. Mechanical w…

    Glad to see this! We need better treatments for OA short of a joint replacement. I'm not too surprised that this treatment works. It's essentially like localized steroids to just t…

    I'm not too impressed with this article since it doesn't really give a definition for computing, just picks a few similarities between what we see as computing (in the practical se…

    While I think most of the examples are incredible... ...the technical graphics (especially text) is generally wrong. Case 16 is an annotated heart and the anatomy is nonsensical. C…

    Worth noting that Elon only gets the $1T if he can deliver >1M Robotaxis, >1M "AI bots", and bring Tesla's market cap to $8.5T. Looks like they are really doubling down on the 2018…
