I cannot believe this is real, it was so well done. It felt like creativity of the internet from the early 2000s met the polished design standards of today.
Hey I'm the author of the lib, I think this is my favorite comment about the landing page I read so far. I've started learning web development with Flash in the 2000s, so this hits home. Thank you!
I love Waymos compared to my ride sharing experience.
The base car is appealing (currently Jaguars). They're spacious for a >6 ft individual like myself. The user interface is intuitive and fun. There's a cool factor that exists.
Against ride sharing, given the lack of a driver, there's no variability in driver with regards to ambiance, scents, cleanliness, chattiness, and smoothness of the ride.
While it's a significant step forward for accessibility, it also invites us to consider how such technologies could integrate into everyday use for all users. This could enhance ease of use and efficiency, but it also requires careful consideration of privacy safeguards.
As tech giants delve deeper into markets like gaming, do they enhance the industry by driving innovation and offering new platforms, or could this stifle smaller developers and lead to less diversity in the gaming landscape?
It's fascinating how surgical terminology, much like programming languages, uses precise syntax to convey complex operations in a compact form.
Just as in coding, where function names like append(), open(), or close() might describe operations on data, surgical terms like -ectomy, -ostomy, and -otomy encapsulate detailed medical procedures on the human body.
This linguistic efficiency not only facilitates clear communication among professionals but also mirrors the procedural thinking found in technical fields.
There's some value in observing that there is a regularity to the terms used for a particular discipline, as opposed to a jumble of organically-grown jargon. For one, it tells you that learning a seemingly-unconnected vocabulary (Greek suffixes, in this case) can help you understand terms you've never otherwise encountered in their entirety.
-opathy would generally be suitable. It implied a pathological condition involving some form of tissue damage or dysfunction.
Minor clarification, swelling does not necessarily always mean inflammation. -itis refers to inflammation of an organ or area of the both. Swelling, particularly when from fluid retention, is referred to as -edema. There is overlap though. :)
I think it's actually about taking "medicine" that causes the same (the homeo part) dysfunction (the pathy part) as you're experiencing in the hopes of curing it.
For an individual interested in computational biology, or George church's course is excellent.
From the description: "This course will assess the relationships among sequence, structure, and function in complex biological networks as well as progress in realistic modeling of quantitative, comprehensive, functional genomics analyses. Exercises will include algorithmic, statistical, database, and simulation approaches and practical applications to medicine, biotechnology, drug discovery, and genetic engineering."
Technologies: medical imaging, computer vision, artificial intelligence, medical devices, digital health technologies, C/C++, Python, Tensorflow, etc.

About Me: An M.D./Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering with a Computer Engineering background, I have a passion for working at the intersection of healthcare/biotech and artificial intelligence. Skilled in leading multidisciplinary teams, I am keen on leveraging technology for healthcare solutions, mentoring, and contributing to the biotech and digital health sectors. Interested in roles in technical product management, business development, and clinical translation.
In the Supplementary Materials, there's a set of example videos of this work in action. In particular, the helix shape is pretty cool to see form in (essentially) the blink of an eye.
