🤖 Meta (= Facebook) announced a new "language model" today, trained on millions of scientific papers. Judging from examples in the HN discussion, it's hilariously bad. Language models should model language, not "knowledge." news.ycombinator.com/item?id=336112…

I asked #Galactica about some things I know about and I'm troubled. In all cases, it was wrong or biased but sounded right and authoritative. I think it's dangerous. Here are a few of my experiments and my analysis of my concerns. (1/9)

Such great news, I am very honored to receive this award and present our work at CNPN on data independent acquisition over the last 10 years with great students and great collaborations!

@CNPN_2021 Such great news, I am very honored to receive this award and present our work at CNPN on data independent acquisition over the last 10 years with great students and great collaborations!

Thundering applause to @hroest, recipient of @CNPN_2021 Genome Canada New Investigator Award. So well deserved!

@bittremieux @asmsnews @KrisLaukens @goethals @thabangh @Pdorrestein1 @compomics @dtabb73 Congratulations Wout!

I'm honored to have received an @asmsnews postdoctoral career development award. asms.org/about-asms-awa… Big thanks to all my mentors (@KrisLaukens, @goethals, @thabangh, @Pdorrestein1) and collaborators (@compomics, @dtabb73, many more) over the years.

@BenCollinsLab @biorxiv @fmeierX @labs_mann @BrukerMassSpec Great work everybody using #IonMobility #MassSpectrometry together with Data Independent Acquisition to introduce a new paradigm for data acquisition and analysis!

@trvrb @gingraslab1 Here is a cool study using the CDC influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance data to estimate the number of "extra" doctor visits of people with influenza-like symptoms: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Estimated detection rate is 0.75% (i.e. true infection rates are 100-fold higher)

How can we assess the total number of #SARSCoV2 infections that have occurred up to this point? As others have noted, it's not easy to extrapolate from confirmed cases to total infections. Some thoughts here, but no real answers. 1/9
