"We’re nowhere near the end of the shortage,” said Brad Gastwirth, Circular’s head of global research. “I think it lasts through the end of 2026 and at least the first half of 2027…

Enterprise is what determines commoditization as that's where the lion's share of the revenue comes from. Maybe it will eventually happen to MS Office, maybe it won't, but until it…

LibreOffice didn't replace MS Office, and Octave didn't replace Matlab. It seems to me that there is even less of a moat with these products than there is with Claude Code, yet nei…

Information entropy is literally the strict lower bound on how efficiently information can be communicated (expected number of transmitted bits) if the probability distribution whi…

The disinformation landscape of this conflict is insane. This article paints a decidedly optimistic picture, however I fear the reality is far more bleak. Unreliable casualty numbe…

but it will give you some sleepless nights!

The variants in ClinVar will have genomic coordinates associated with them, each given with respect to a particular reference genome, e.g. GRCh38 - chr2:41785474-41785474 or someth…

Unfortunately, the preponderance of very low value research in the literature puts a significant burden on the scientists who have to sift through a lot of garbage to find what the…
