I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don't have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren't actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won't be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.

This is exactly why I feel nervous asking questions online. I feel like a lot of the time the answer is so obvious that a bot could answer it with very little context and then I'll look silly.

You'd have to be a bit loopy to accuse yourself 😉

Ooh, cool.

{X|X∉X}∈{X|X∉X}⇐⇒{X|X∉X}∉{X|X∉X} (1)

{X|X∉X}∈{X|X∉X}∧¬{X|X∉X}∈{X|X∉X} (2)

Thence G(me) (2,explosion)

where G(x): x has 1,000,000 bars of gold

Thanks for the gold

It's how ~~isoforms~~ functions with different signatures evolve. As long as it isn't harmful it tends to stick around. Then the different code may develop adaptations which fit it into a niche if it is a selective advantage for the ~~organism~~ code base.

It's complete bullshit. But the way it is bullshit is interesting. I had a response to it initially that was along the lines of well, there are lots of different gods, so why should you trust any of them. But if there is a very small chance of an infinite reward, that is still an infinite expected value. So shouldn't you just flip a coin and choose one? A more sophisticated response is to say well, how do you know there isn't a god of athiests that will reward athiests infinitely. If you accept Pascal's Wager, then even if I grant you that the “god of athiests” a billion times less likely, you still can't choose between it and the other gods because the expected value of any choice is infinite. So I can believe whatever I want to do and have the same expected reward. And if you don't accept Pascal's wager, then don't talk to me until you have another reason to believe in your story. So you win either way by logic. And to paraphrase Lewis Carrol's Achilles, “Then Logic would take them by the throat, and force them to concede the point! …Logic would tell them, “You can't help yourself.”” 😁

Couldn't a Chromium clone relicensed under some copyleft license also be a viable option against Chromiums? Chromium is licensed under BSD-3 which Wikipedia claims is compatible with the GPL, so there wouldn't be any legal reason this couldn't be done, right? Other than not really wanting to split a project with excessive forks (which is only bad if you think that the Chromium project itself is a net good), is there some technical or other reason why this would be a bad idea?

I can confirm this works for the mobile website with the browser Firefox Nightly for Android (there's no reason to think it wouldn't work for other mobile browsers) too. Thanks

I agree. If you can't test the structures against proteins that don't crystalize, then you can't really say much about the output.

best experimental protocol evar™ do not steal 👍If it were me I would try to use the generated structures to make predictions. Perhaps get the model to tell you how many residues of a certain AA are on the protein surface, attach some sort of fluorescent marker to all the surface residues in a physical sample, remove the unattached marker from the solution, and then measure the intensity of the emitted light to estimate how many of those residues are actually on the surface of the structure.

Idk if exactly that would work, but it seems like an easier question to test if a protein is consistent with a generated structure. So perhaps you could tell the biologists that the “ball is in their court” to get them off your back 😃 (if it is biologists of course).

Also, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you could get the pattern the neural net found out of it. Only that that it has in there somewhere if the net is generalizing.

I like it, too but there must be so many more posts there than any other community bc it is almost the only thing on my timeline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes. My (minimally informed from a single class) understanding is that it sort-of depends on the problem too. Like perhaps in looking at all the data on proteins, the neural network might notice a pattern in protein folding is applicable to the tweaked problem. Of course, there is no guarantee that such a generally applicable rule exists. And even if it does, it might not be discovered by the net before overtraining occurs.
