    It's worse, you're paying them so your competitor isn't standing in front of your store convincing them not to be your costumer. You can either buy the top spot on queries that are…

    That's pretty much what happens when you get a stemcell transplant. Luckily there is steady improvement in the survival rate. This is a very old therapy by now of course. But let's…

    Who exactly were you going to buy equipment from? AMD/Nvidia/Intel are the only players in town.

    Taking one gram every 5-6 hours for a maximum of 4 gram/day IS entirely reasonable. I don't know how you jumped from "it's dangerous to take in to high amounts, even 4 times the re…

    Melatonin is just for jetlag/otherwise shifted sleeping schedule, are people using it as an anti aging drug?

    I don't vote for this party but you sre totally straw manning them with respect to data centres. The whole reason those became controversial is because American big tech companies …

    The extraction problem has been solved for a long time to make recombinant insuline. Before that it had to be extracted from an animals pancreas. These days peptides are often impr…

    I guess cooling is more important than keeping away oxidizers in this case and it's hard to beat water in that regard.

    I would guess that the FFT scales better as you increase the number of tokens in the context window. Interesting Google's models outperform their competitors on context size.

    Shorting is often a bad strategy due to the hight cost if you plan to hold for the long term. And with these companies with irrational evaluations you gave no idea when the stock p…

    Depends on your perspective. Many people would consider someone like Fauci non-partisan and more of a competent career expert, but Trumps people think he is very political and purg…

    For me ai has been pretty useful. Difference is I'm not a software engineer, I just write scripts to help me do my job. If I wrote bigger applications I doubt llms could help me.

    I fully expect people like Tim Cook and Elon Musk to appease the Chinese government if it benefits their business and doesn’t make them appear cozy with the CCP to the U.S. public.…

    Not pure luck though, they tried 15 different baffle configurations. Would of course be easier to filter configuration in simulations.

    Python? Are you sure? Maybe hardcore hpc types don't use python but it's still the bread and butter of most academics. Especially anyone doing data science/machine learning. If any…

    I'll take a plain histogram/kde plot every day of the week over those damn violin plots. I think box plots are quite usefull as they are easy to read but only if you trust the auth…

    It probably would have been nice to have one build now or even better 10 years ago. It's a good base of stable green energy to have during the transition. But planning to build a n…

    The problem is also that this class of drugs (modified peptides) is produced in a very different way from most drugs (small molecules). When small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists …
