This is quite sad - there is some simple text, and icons - sure ai saves some time… but honestly, text and a few pics?

Please remember that science is under attack in the United States - new proposals would gut the nih even beyond the horror that is ongoing. As a scientist I am horrified and I truly hope that we don’t abandon the usas historically strong investment in the future.

The funding environment in Canada is quite simply abysmal. You don’t need a politician to kill your grant, the money doesn’t exist in the first place. Canada could do so incredibly well if it only would invest in science.

Heritability is the proportion of variance in a trait that can be ascribed to genetics. So if you increase or decrease the total variance in the population u change heritability by definition. Eg. Split the pop in half and give one half less food - that half will be smaller (eg shorter in humans) and variance will increase thus the heritability will necessarily decrease.

Seems like a great idea. The police should do this… bring back red light cameras and automated speed traps.

I have perhaps unpopular additional suggestion. If you break any traffic laws your tesla should automatically report u to the police. Shouldn’t a car w AI capabilities be committed to responsible, ethical, safe, law abiding behavior ? I’m tired of bay area Teslas not signaling, cutting me off, and near killing me while I’m walking or on my bike.

Folks agreeing with this take should take a hard look at their attention spans and ability to focus and comprehend - it’s honestly really shocking to see how many people can’t handle sitting still and reading for 10 minutes (or fewer!) straight!

I should say I’ve struggled with this too, I have to be super mindful otherwise I’ll flip and skim and find myself distracted. But it is interesting there’s an embracing of this by many - “I always ask ChatGPT to summarize xyz.”

This is a long winded “permission slip” to avoid any personal responsibility for our actions. The fact is whether it’s eating beef or writing code for Raytheon you actually do have free will. The HN and tech crowd is also far more educated and empowered (individually and collectively) than the author would have us believe.

Why don’t we preemptively put anyone who works in finance in the hall of shame. Unpopular w the hn crew I’m sure, but the field does disproportionately more harm than good.

Good

I have loved watching space x launches for years. And here I am, scrolling around on my phone and I can’t for the life of me find a stream that opens- this is just so sad

“CRISPR-based genome editing tools developed by MIT professor and McGovern investigator Feng Zhang, Abudayyeh, Gootenberg, and others have changed the way scientists modify DNA, accelerating research and enabling the development of many experimental gene therapies.”

“Others” being Nobel laureates Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuel Charpatier - MIT and the Broad have long sought to minimize the work of these two women in the media for their own gain. Here again, a small but glaring example of their pettiness.

Good lord the horror - devil horse is going to haunt me

The article is a “tree…”

You seem to be missing the forest though the trees. https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1679816678023000065...

What is your point? He deserved to be murdered? This seems irrelevant, “he likely was maybe guilty of something…” and?

Just think how much worse it’s all going to get with the ubiquity of AI

Why do u need a blockchain? Why not just torrents for sharing.

This is nonsense - none of this is possible - eg, there is no way to make gametes from stem cells

Where’s the control? 100% of long Covid patients also had 2 arms and 10 toes

I find your title and discussion of “mommy blogs” to be extremely misogynistic. This has no place on hacker news.

There is a great deal to be suspicious of in all “fee for service” healthcare to be frank. I am particularly skeptical of dentists, they take on enormous debt to run their businesses and have every incentive to try to turn their patients into profit. They can also easily exploit the classic economic problem of one sided information. The patient has no idea if a procedure is necessary. How much do you really think you need “Invisalign”???

Good thing I grew up in zip code with super positive vibes

Epic lol - it goes up. It goes down. “The hardest part of my life was pushing the single button when a random timer went off- fortunately I have a lot of free time” rofl

The interface makes this impossible - it’s pretty but unplayable. Please post a simple 2d interface

Read it, listen to it, share it, discuss it. This is one of the most important pieces of journalism in American history.

But you would be surprised if they all had 11, 10 is your null hypothesis. It’s not context, it’s proper controls and the scientific method. This was very very careless

Pro tip - When “every single one of the 96 participants show[s] the effect“ u have a technical artifact. This is scientific common sense.

Honestly ppl: vim or emacs - the rest is fluff

Glad to see so many great female authors represented ... Oh... Wait
