Local cops/AG persecuting groups they don’t like

When you’re deciding which antibodies to buy you’ll look at these figures to get a sense of their quality. Antibodies aren’t perfect and might bind proteins unrelated to the one yo…

Was there not enough interest from institutional investors?

I can see using them as a source of randomness for an aleatoric composition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleatoric_music

There’s nothing to be reminded of. English has a word to describe North and South America together (“the Americas”). Other languages have different words for the same concept. It’s…

This could easily be sleep apnea

Just wanted to say that I share any frustration you may feel at every reply to your comment completely missing the point

I’d be surprised if they’re running at less than 100% capacity after this. It’s just too useful to too many people for whom an $80/month increase is immaterial (I speculate)

I think it would be helpful to reframe this as a statistical problem, and not as an issue with units. Estimating some measure of central tendency and variance (mean and 95% CI mayb…

You’re conflating the colloquial meaning of “fitness” with the technical definition. It’s unfortunately overloaded.

You only get ~30 seconds of zero G. How would that work?

It’s been well known for as long time, the news here is the specific biological mechanism, which may open up new areas of research.

This is a difference without distinction.

Regardless, we're talking about a distribution of abilities, and the number of people who can't drive safely is going to increase dramatically in the near future. The point of this…

I work in a field that has a strong glass ceiling, and the only way through is with a PhD (some employers are starting to recognize that, with several years of experience, people w…

You don't need to synthesize an entire bacterial genome from scratch to do this. You can just insert them one at a time into existing bacteria. Or just give them plasmids. Anyway, …

Sure, but there apparently wasn't enough of a dialog either. With a textbook, you're confronted with facts and explanations that you didn't ask about, or even knew to ask about. Do…

LLMs may be enabling, but OP explicitly stated "I wanted to dig deeper into the subject, but not by reading a boring textbook", which, of course, would have eliminated the issues i…

This is so riddled with inaccuracies that I can spot them immediately despite not being a phage biologist. For example, the PhiX image has a DNA with about 20 base pairs - wildly n…

Not solved at all. Certainly AF is very useful but what it outputs is a fundamentally a prediction with important limitations. There’s plenty of utility in physical modeling.

This post might get the record for people responding to the title without reading the article. Jeez people, it takes five seconds to discover that it subverts expectations.

Years ago I worked at an insurance company where the whole job was doing this - essentially reading through long PDFs with mostly unrelated information and extracting 3-4 numbers o…

But in the proposed scenario, there wouldn’t be any technical hurdles or effort required by the phone’s owner - you could have this be a service offered by businesses. Maybe even t…
