Ask HN: Hire academic researchers and train them up to be good SWEs?

Hi HN!we are struggling with the following: there's a few people in the world whose domain expertise we need (e.g. 5y in an academic lab working on a particular topic that requires wet-lab, hardware and computational bio expertise) but who mostly happen to be pretty bad at SWE. The intersection of domain expertise required and good SWE skills unfortunately seems to be 0 in some cases.We're now...

Excuse my ignorance, updated the title. Seeing the discussion here, it did attract the wrong audience...

Would be interested in your use case if you don't mind sharing!

Been there too haha! I wanted to do large scale data extraction from literature and manual approaches would have just been too slow.

Thanks! Yes, some images have hick-ups. Would probably need a UI that allows for easy post-prediction editing.
That's a good catch. This study uses images for reidentification. I wonder which other factors, not contained in an image could be used for reidentifying someone and by how much that would increase the reidentification accuracy.
If you have a publicly available photo of yourself (e.g. public social media), it's possible to match that to your genomic sequence. I.e. you already have to be anonymous online to have a chance that a private company cannot reidentify you.

Are there already some rumors on when the multimodal API will be available?
