Readit NewsIf this tool could parse drug patents and draw molecular structures with associated data, I know we would pay 200k/yr+ for that service, and there's a market for it.
In my own field, there's an incredibly important application to parse patents and scientific papers, but this would require specific image=>text models in order to get the required information out with high fidelity. Do you guys have plans to enable user supplied workflows where perhaps image patches can be sent to bespoke encoders, or finetunes?
Meanwhile journalists rest more and more on sexual politics to elicit interest in a public who is very tired of what they have to say.
How about we build stuff, and let people worry about their own love lives?

Empirically, I find no improvement in reproducibility between arxiv and journals. The costs are incredibly high too.
Like many things in our world peer review is a short lived extrapolation which doesn't resemble it's origins but is regarded as immutable gospel. It matters most if what you need is the respect of academics.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's this type of visible but marginal nonsense which perpetuates the SF drug economy. There are simply a lot of people making money on the blight. Private equity funds have piled into methadone treatment, even though other treatments are more evidence-based. No matter the customers are penniless wretches, the government is billed astronomical sums to perpetuate their suffering. These are some of the highest profit margin balance sheets I've ever seen. A public which lacks the stomach to account for whether remediations are evidence-based, collaborates with the cartels to keep the whole thing spinning and shambling.
Walk into any hospital waiting room, and count the dollars disappear to "treat" the dopesickness of a victim. Like the rest of the US healthcare system, it's a galactic obvious grift enabled by regulatory capture, operating in plain sight.
a) The author has bought way too far into the idea that everyone is equal and finds it icky
b) It's identity verification has had some problems (fixable)
c) It provides an incentive for TSA lines to stay long, similar to TurboTax
I find (c) a somewhat reasonable concern on its face, but TSA Pre already gives the same incentives, but via a government service. Other entities also have the same incentives: Airlines like the ridiculous liquid situation since it causes some people to pay for checked bags.
It's not really clear this one is any worse.
IMO people who do not like Clear should be leading a charge to fix TSA and obviate the need for things like Clear and Pre rather than railing against them since they clearly provide something that people want (to skip the line).
Private flights have no security whatsoever. They are also much more climate unfriendly. If commercial becomes more of a headache people will press up towards jetshares...
I'd argue that it's pretty clear that lipitor is partially to blame for our present gerontocracy muddle, but the issue there is that lipitor transfers mortality from the heart to many other conditions, some of which impair thinking. Life extension isn't a monolith, nor are the mechanisms of cellular age in animals. It's a blanket for 1000s of possible technologies. Productive conversations about it would be nuanced, and related to details about a particular technology, which these conversations never seem to rise to the level of. Definitely not this piece or fukuyama's either.
I come to HN for nuance.
