Anyone who's spent substantial time using one of the state of the art AIs today can attest that this statement is clueless and ridiculous. Makes me wonder about the fitness of Yann…

This is biased reading at its worst. I was simply stating what the authors concluded based on their analysis of 10-20 studies (not just one). This is what they say in the abstract:…

Diet and exercise are universally failed interventions to stop major diseases (CVD, cancer...). People who have a vested interest in them promote them (e.g. exercise specialists, k…

Buyer beware: Sensation sells (as is portrayed in this news article). Competitors are one click or one setting away. Last I tried switching to DuckDuckGo things didn't go so well -…

Thanks for sharing! My list of 12 most useful resources for machine learning quants can be found here: http://gokhanmergen.com/quantBibliography.html This list was compiled in 2009…

Many of us know and follow rapamycin's story. There are some Drs in USA who're willing to prescribe it for longevity. I do hope some billionare will be willing to spend a few milli…

Correctness might be there. But there are also some grandiose claims in the abstract ("“There are no trigonometric proofs, because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are …

Ok, I read through the proof, and I think I understood it. Thanks for posting this! Until the authors' work is submitted to a journal and reviewed, it's hard to say everything clai…

Observational studies are just observational studies. Most of them report spurious correlations. Their results cannot be taken at face value. Only through intervention studies you …

Real means, not BS. Real means intervention studies. Observational studies can be hypothesis generating, but you cannot derive definitive conclusions from them. Only through interv…

Measuring associations is one thing. Intervening in people's lives to reduce disease and mortality with exercise is another. Here's what real science has to say about the latter: E…

GDPR and DMA that came out of EU internet regulators don't impress me. They make it more arduous to browse the web, reduce the revenue collected by open web (content sites), reduce…

Good job human(s)! It should be obvious to anyone who's following chess AIs: Progress seems endless; we're constantly discovering tactics and anti-tactics to defeat the latest mode…

Gladwell is an extremely gifted author. He's a poor social scientist. When he wears a social scientist's cloak, and tells engaging and highly believable stories, he's doing a disse…

To me the biggest magic of kalman filtering wasn't the low-pass nature (yes it's a multidimensional low pass filter!), but rather issues around system identification. Namely if and…

>> Every tech company in China is in part owned or supported by the chinese government. > So it’s exactly like the US. Here's a bit of news for you. "China’s Global 500 companies a…

Re: Chinese real estate bubble. It's been almost 10 years since news outlets and finance people have claimed a RE bubble in China. Nothing happened. Buyer (of RE and the bubble hyp…

If you're reading a tech news coming out of China, and aren't thinking about politics, you're doing something wrong. Every tech company in China is in part owned or supported by th…

Let me provide some color for you. Hiring is changing. It's shifting from "oh this person went to good schools, worked for a top company" (self perpetuating loop) to "can you answe…

This is actually the 2nd brain gene therapy research I've seen. In the Phase I trial below, injecting telomerase and klotho AV vectors into CNS/brain was safe and it improved cogni…

Your problems may not be caused by the money. 7.5M isn't infinity, you know. Especially if you get married, try to buy a house and have kids, you'll discover that the amount isn't …

This is hilarious (what Facebook calls meaningful!). I know people where back and forth comments with them are a lot less than meaningful or desired. "Meaningful Social Interaction…

Wow, this looks like a work of love! Who else would put so much effort into improving a classic (but semi-obsolete) CPU?

Bad Apple it is. Also hypocrite Apple, with their fake (at the very least misleading) privacy stance against internet advertising.
