Does anyone know which XKCD comic the top image was? Or was it just created in the style of XKCD?

Yet they still managed to give them the CD with the diagnosis... Such a strange process

This is mentioned in the article, but it's a small piece in a paragraph so understand why it could be missed: "Somebody thought IV was not easily understandable because it resemble…

Right I agree, the new model does seem quite punitive especially if you don't have an existing business model. Imagine a new developer publishes a free app without a plan for monet…

As threeseed mentioned, most free apps esp. those without a per-install revenue source (e.g., Wikipedia) will likely not use the new model and stick with the old model which doesn'…

As an aside, look how clear and well-written this web page is. I'm always blown away by how well the whole Apple ecosystem (even the the developer documentation) is designed

But you could just pay for both ChatGPT and the AI classifier, and keep re-iterating with new prompts until the AI classifier outputs a false negative right? Edit: Thinking about i…

Is there a way to check if you've been compromised by these PyPl packages? Does PyPl have a mechanism to let people know that they've downloaded a compromised package?

As in general with associative studies, it is hard to make a distinct conclusion on causation. Do we know if alcohol decreases gray and white matter volumes? Could the causation ru…

IMHO, I like the original better than the after too. However, I did think this was a handy feature to point out, just probably not the best example.

(2021) Veritasium covers the story behind lead in gasoline in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA , it's a really interesting albeit sad video. If I recall correctly, he me…

Interesting side point though from https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/02/28/uc-berkeley-loses-cri... : ''' But over time, according to one expert, the patents may lose value due to c…

Ah I see, yeah this is a newish feature and still doesn't support GSuite accounts as the main driver. It just lets you link your consumer account to your GSuite (for calendars, etc…

Re your Assistant question, think this should be available by: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/10265998 Do not know why it's not more marketed... a lot of people miss t…

The comment by the first John in the comment of the article here [ https://syncedreview.com/2020/06/30/yann-lecun-quits-twitter... ] adds a lot of insight too (starting with "As I …

Agree this is great to hear, but the fact that they had X-ray diffraction data indicates this protein was indeed crystallizable no? Though the next paragraph in the article shows t…

GDT_TS for AlphaFold is now comparable is at experimental levels; but that's based on the class of proteins for which we've been able to determine the 3D structure of the protein, …

Five years ago, I would have said the following: "If someone produces an AI that you give a sequence and it tells you the protein conformation, I'd be extremely impressed". Sure th…

That's an interesting piece. But I wonder if it's criticizing more the idea of "working in a vacuum" without taking into account what's going on in the world, as opposed to "focuse…

Ah still? Interesting. Maybe supply is geographically dependent, as I'm seeing Chromebook availability in Walmart / Amazon / directly from Acer. The sub-$200 laptops are mostly use…

Even for non-STEM students, the Pi setup seems fairly accessible. From a quick online search, I could find monitors for $30 - $50 and webcams $20 - $30 which is pretty price compet…

I don't think we're arguing the functionality of the design; this is purely based on the phone's aesthetics. (And, for those of us with trypophobia, our opinion on the design is li…

First the new Mac Pro and now this. I guess Apple is all about circles this year :P

Same here... I honestly can't bear to look at it, and I'm not looking forward to seeing this pop up at work.

Not only are they "designed to allow patients as little sleep as possible", but also doctors too. Residents and doctors frequently have take on 30-36 hour shifts.. How they could e…
