I did my PhD funded for 3 years off of NIH and the remaining year and so off of corporate research grants. I really valued the fact that I was working on an industrial project, and…

Very interesting! Is there any consideration to making a navidrome plugin?

Since getting laid off in May and failing to find any jobs for ML in healthcare, I am working with a friend I met during my MPH to start a boutique consultancy to help hospitals de…

The HackerNews hug of death

Yes but you have: 1. specific explicit training and certifications 2. someone to yell at and who can be fired for non-performance

It's hard to describe, but it's felt like LLMs have completely sucked the entire energy out of computer vision. Like... I know CVPR still happens and there's great research that co…

I'm a avid (hobbyist) photographer and I've noticed a TON of genuinely good 3rd party lenses (primarily Sigma and Tamron) and even 'fine' lenses at rock bottom prices (Viltrox, 7Ar…

The fact that courts do strike down admins on violating the APA does, in fact, make it illegal.

> Also, what would be illegal about the change? At the *very* least you should be following the administrative rules act (requiring you to solicit 45 days for comments by effected …

Completely off topic to the actual article - but... I really get irked a lot by seeing (overly obvious) ai generated images being used for stock photos. One of the reasons my wife …

I don't disagree with anything you're saying necessarily, but a lot of people are conflating my statement of IRB exemption with having an explicit IRB authorization. I guess more t…

I have published multiple papers in peer review journals where we were not covered by IRBs. That is not to say other research ethics standards don't exist, but that IRBs are simply…

I've worked in MRI AI both in academic and non-academic centers, including technology that has received 510K clearance. I admit it sounds pedantic, but I'm not discussing IRB *exem…

I just pointed out the numerous exemptions to IRBs for research. People can literally make a research career and never touch IRBs. The point I'm trying to make is that the blog is …

I mean tons of retrospective studies are literally "IRB exempt" (and highlighted as such in their methods) where no explicit consent is required or needed. Physicians doing case re…

My wife and I went to Tofino (on Vancouver) this last summer where you can rent a boat for a tour of the coastal black bears. Very highly recommend it.

Use python and write my results in a CSV that I quickly import into R and do my fancy stats. Tbf python's stats implementations can be garbage; the last time I checked you can't do…

In one of their articles they claim that the microbiome is stable over 15 years, but this is categorized as "unpublished work" which leaves me with a large sense of doubt. I don't …

I take very significant issue with the fact their appendix A and B do not link to the original literature. When I was skimming the pitch deck, I thought they had done the experimen…

I live in the Seattle area now, and I find it hilarious that the public transportation infrastructure around Climate Pledge Arena (which Amazon bought the naming rights for) is hor…

this is where being socially awkward helps :)

"cardiac MRI which is not always widely available". This is mainly because the views of the heart are super hard to get (exams are done mostly at specialized centers like Stanford)…

FWIW I have seen lots of trash in Nature and Science.

Nobel peace prize winners can been frankly weirdly wrong on these topics when they overextend from their own specific domain. Think back to the AIDs crisis, where Peter Duesberg, a…
