This is one of the best, funniest pieces of writing I have read in months - The utter detachment and cynicism displayed around this borderline Hunter S Thompson acid trip is breath of fresh air.
ML researchers would get a lot of interesting ideas from Ed Yong's book: "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us"
It goes through the extraordinarily diverse sensory systems of all animals. In the push for at-the-edge, exteme-low-latency, low-resource "intelligent" agents, mimicking some of these system may lead to cool systems.
Does anyone have any experience in comparing Carta's comp and equity estimation tool to the reality? The cash seems aligned with what I see in the market but the equity always seems a little low
FDA absolutely reviews stated design processes and audits against these. See 21CFR211 - The perspective here is that even if we are actually pretty confident that it is just "one little tweak here", a one-letter change could have wide ranging affects when interacting with the human body.
I didn't say it was just marketing - I was asking for additional data to shed light on how robust (or frail) this result is. I don't think there is enough in this press release.
edit: (maybe you meant to comment on that other comment on this...)
Is there a comprehensive white-paper anywhere with sample sizes and error bars? Otherwise this seems like an anecdote.
"The sera were collected from subjects 3 weeks after receiving the second dose or one month after receiving the third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine"
How do we know this study isn't just measuring the effect of that additional week?
Also how many subjects was this sera pulled from? Are the subjects materially similar between the second and third dose groups?
Not exactly surprising the people selling the third dose conclude that it is needed. It's like when the waiter recommends the most expensive option.
It may be worth considering if you are naive in thinking that Putin doesn’t explicitly fund and direct the execution of cyber attacks against the west as a lever in improving Russia’s own relative standing.
Why do you think he wouldn’t do so?
American sponsors the same cyberattacks on Iranian and North Korean entities.
"Since these data are deemed de-identified by expert determination [0] and that’s hazy, if I could reidentify myself after de-id, and I didn’t authorize it, then I could be eligible for breach damages for HIPAA violations up to $50k per person"
The Expert Determination data would likely be released to you with an agreement that you would not attempt to re-identify the data. So if you then attempted to re-identify the data, even yourself, you would be breaking the terms of the license and I would think liable to civil action from the entity that gave you the data (and their upstreams). I don't think you would win here.
