Anecdotally, this article seems to match with what I am witnessing regarding browsing habits. I am planning a big trip with others and everything is being found via social media ap…

The pattern of: - Some channels being affected more than others - Likes remaining stable - Revenue remaining stable Could be explained by Youtube only counting non-adblocked views.…

Would appreciate anyone summarising the key differences here as I can't watch the video at the moment.

Many staff in different roles, 3+ shifts a day, 365 days a year is a lot of labour costs. Replacing even a fraction of labour is likely $100K a year of potential investment. More s…

I’m a nobody in a medicine role but with a previous career in engineering. I’ve just had a poorly thought out mild epiphany realizing what’s been staring me (and I’m sure everyone …

Not sure if you already have this but something you could steal from the medical world is shortcuts to describe relative dates / time: n+60 (is now + 60m) n-10 (is 10m ago) t+1 (is…

Off topic because I am skeptical of the claims in the first place. As a general principle: the licensing exam is not the benchmark AI should be evaluated against to then go about c…

I found the origin of ECT quite interesting: depressed people with epilepsy had dramatic improvement in their symptoms following a seizure. They also discovered that the type and l…

There is some evidence that "aerobic exercise" itself produces an equivalent baseline energy deficit without the performance downside. This guy[0] studies total average energy expe…

Fatty liver and high fat in blood is a disease and a risk factor for serious disease respectively. This study appears to show that fasting is related to inducing the gene Slc25a51 …

An integrated, seamless, and seemingly very fast TOR-like network relay built into the OS is an amazing feature. Works across iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS. I’m a huge fan and am happy …

Perhaps the title should be editorialised to reflect that it was an extortion attempt by an insider?

Targeting doesn’t have to occur at the cell surface does it? Perhaps something like introducing tumour suppressor genes to every cell. They’ll have no effect on healthy cells yet d…

Neo: “Are you trying to tell me that I can alter DNA?” Morpheus: “no Neo, I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready you won’t have to” Altering the DNA is unnecessary if you ca…

Sorry for the late reply. This is what comes up when I google News Corp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Corp_Australia#Television

The easiest way to lie is with statistics. It’s also true that: News Corp earns 40% of total Australian television revenues — combining free-to-air television advertising and subsc…

Med Student here so possibly wrong but... There is a well established link between oestrogen and increased blood coagulability. Whilst it is possible females are more affected by t…

I posted this in a few cancer threads with good response: the seminal work on cancer is actually a really quite approachable and short free paper - “Hallmarks of Cancer” by Hanahan…
