bigmit37··on Ask HN: How to get into genetic engineering if I have no formal background?
I wonder if there is something for hobbyists to get a taste of lab work and experiments.

bigmit37··on Oracle Shows 1060 Raspberry Pi Supercomputer at OOW
That’s pretty cool. I only glanced through the article but i wonder it s possible to do something like this on your own but on a smaller scale. I really need to read up on distributed computing.
bigmit37··on A Calculator for the Billionaires – Elizabeth Warren
Poor people are working two to three jobs to make ends meet, especially single mothers. Being poor is bad enough, have a higher mortality rate now you want to destroy their health?

Some of these poor people made poor desicisons (due to how they were raisedin their early life)that still hold them back and have lots of mental problems due to family bringing and the environment they grew up in.

bigmit37··on Office Chair Is Hurting You
Standing seems to be the worst as it puts a lot of pressure on your veins.

With sitting if you sit cross-fold with legs not dangling at the edge it seems to prevent v veins?

bigmit37··on Office Chair Is Hurting You
This is something I have been looking into as well. Those foods vendors carry their supplies in that body addon but I wanted to walk around my apt and have a couple of projectors setup so each wall has a copy of my monitor.
bigmit37··on Ask HN: Getting started in biology with a software background
Interesting. It seems automation would greatly speed up this field.

I wonder if progress is being made on this front.

bigmit37··on Ask HN: Getting started in biology with a software background
Thank your this. I am also very interested in biology and was looking to find a way to buy used equipment. I was reading biotech books and I was blown away by recombinant DNA and how insulin was invented as a medicine.
bigmit37··on The Decline of Stack Overflow
CUDA? lol. I remember reading that for someone who answers mainly CUDA-related questions.
bigmit37··on New universe of miniproteins is upending cell biology and genetics
Wow. Didn’t know there was this whole subculture.
bigmit37··on New universe of miniproteins is upending cell biology and genetics
I love these discoveries. Are proteins easy to detect and isolate? How does one tell where a protein begins and ends and if one megs protein is not just a bunch of smaller proteins.

Also how do they discover the functions of proteins? Just turn them off and on and try to see what effect it has on the body?

This is such a super interesting field; Any one have good resources (youtube) that show how this stuff is done in the lab?

bigmit37··on Starving cancer by cutting off its favorite foods
Interesting! So salt, Magnesium, and potassium only. I want to try fasting for a week or so. Is there a specific type of these supplements you recommend?
bigmit37··on A Gentle Introduction to Bayes’ Theorem for Machine Learning
Thank you for this.
bigmit37··on Increased sedentary behaviour alters metabolism and body composition (2018)
I was also disappointed in the lack of solution as well. We know more exercise is better, how how much would be needed if we have be on the computer 8 hrs a day etc. Couid 5-10 mins every hour of walking prevent these issues etc.
bigmit37··on Increased sedentary behaviour alters metabolism and body composition (2018)
I wish these articles tried to look for a solution. Would standing and waking every 45 mins be good enough? Would standing and then moderate intensity at 45 mins be good enough etc.

What about eating less and more fasting to combat sedentary.

What about a balance board while standing?

bigmit37··on How to Make Custom AI-Generated Text with GPT-2
Thanks for sharing. I have been hearing a lot of buzzword regarding this archtecture, so I checked out the blog.

I quickly glanced through it but will do a deeper dive later on.

The outputted paragraphs don’t seem to realistic. However you point out that the text needs to be longer for a more a natural output.

I am genuinely curious how relalistic it can get.

bigmit37··on Ask HN: What are some of your recent successes?
How long does it take you to walk 7 miles? Walking threadmill?

Any recommendations for books regarding this subject?

It s pretty fascinating.

bigmit37··on Ask HN: How do you keep your programming motivation up?
Really interesting take. I will keep this mind.

My thoughts exactly. My jawing is dropping at the lengths people are going to defend this situation.
bigmit37··on New micro-robots can break apart and remove biofilm or plaque from a tooth
I’m reading about vitamin K2 now. It seems like dairy products have a lot of vitamin K2 which is pretty common in Western diet. So wouldn’t they already reap the benefits?

It also promotes blood clotting, which is a bad think for heart patients no? Don’t asprin and blood thinners try to prevent blood clotting?

bigmit37··on Crispr now cuts and splices whole chromosomes
Thank you for this. I am also interested in this field and it’s hard to fib good info.

bigmit37··on India school-leaving exam: The controversy that cost 23 lives
It seems most did so the same day , even within hours of finding the results, so they didn’t know about the revaluation.

If they felt good about the exam after taking it, they are stillanxious about the scores as they are unsure if they actually did well or not.

bigmit37··on Deep Representation Learning with Genetic Programming (2018) [pdf]
