The difficulty with the generation study is that there is no way to selectively opt in/out; your child is sequenced and then the data is retained until you opt out (at which point …

Unsurprising. There's a poor economic argument for funding healthcare in the UK, other than it being used as a political football to win votes. The result is decades of underfundin…

Came here to say this. Both Seveneves and Fall have long unending psuedo-epilogues which add little to the main story, but also don't really wrap anything up satisfactorily either.…

I use CookBook which scans websites, and OCRs cookbooks with good success! I have all my regular recipes on there now https://thecookbookapp.com/

Just finding this now after noticing the traffic spike (thanks!). Yes we are playing with doing this, however to be honest it's a very challenging task. You can extract the 'key in…

Really disappointing to see a whole host of inaccuracies in this article, even beyond the artistic license you'd expect for the New Yorker. My own area of knowledge is in neuroscie…

Sure, but its the corner of two rooms on two floors. Depending on what your house looks like, that's quite an undertaking to fit, it's destructive to the house, and doesn't replace…

I can see the use of this for neurological disease, but far and away the most common reason for a stairlift is frailty (or sarcopenia, to be more precise) along with other musculos…

Everyone in the comments discussing the UX of scrolling in this setting- this is exactly how you look through a CT scan! And in the different planes, as in this page. Sure a slider…

Hey HN, I've been sharing some of the articles about this website that I've set up for a little while, and been developing it based on your feedback. The aim is to simplify/explain…

Yes this is why I'm not sure how it's been tested. In the scientific literature in many cases the data is anonymised and made available publicly or to those interested, but you can…

Completely agree. I've not seen it tested legally, but the EU now has a 'right to explanation' where automated decisions are made about people. This would prohibit closed ML from m…

That's fair- I've edited the title to make it more specific. I've not come across Bayesian but I'm going to add their research on the site to summarise down the line.

One of the problems with closed models is that any model can be found to train on the 'wrong' data point. So e.g. a chest x ray reader determines that images taken with the machine…

Granted this is the review of a single model, but given that it's by one of the big players in the EMR space, it shows how challenging this problem is. Sepsis is easy to under-reco…

I can't comment on every use case, but I've recently been using htmx[1] with Django templates to provide sort-of async behaviour. For me it's the best of both worlds; I can specify…
