The app, "SnackPass", faces a similar issue. Coffee shops spend time fulfilling mobile orders, placed in advance to avoid waiting in line, resulting in a delay for in-person orders.
While I was unable to view the entire article (paywalled), I suspect that some kind of priority queue that weights an order's priority by the user's distance to the store may be useful to solve the waiting issue.
I got an error when passing a prompt with about 20k tokens to the Llama 4 Scout model on groq (despite Llama 4 supporting up to 10M token context). groq responds with a POST https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions 413 (Payload Too Large) error.
Is there some technical limitation on the context window size with LPUs or is this a temporary stop-gap measure to avoid overloading groq's resources? Or something else?
The data availability statement in this article undermines its entire premise.
> We did not publish our raw data along with the manuscript because it could be understood that we are publicly shaming authors who did not want to share their data. As for the raw data that were received during this study, we informed our study participants that those raw data will be deleted after being examined and that all data and communication will be treated with strict confidence.
Interesting article on the history of Perl for bioinformatics.
As someone who is currently a bioinformatics PhD student, Perl has become the vinyl of programming languages. While some older folks script with Perl, most packages I’ve seen published recently use either R, python, c++, and more recently, rust.
This essay is beautifully written. I particularly appreciate the vivid detail the author used to describe their childhood memories.
The last paragraph caught me off-guard with its shift in tone and focus. The narrative makes the point that while memories can be strong, they often fail to remind us of all of the details. This is certainly germane to how the justice system operates; I just feel that its relevance was rushed in at the end.
I wonder if the problems with the data would have been discovered sooner if data sharing been enforced. It's clear that the reason the article was retracted by the editor-in-chief was because of the lack of data:
It appears that sequences were neither uploaded to Genbank nor to the BOLD system at the time of the study. It does appear that sequences related to this article have been uploaded to Genbank in September 2020, but as this happened six years after publication and no voucher information is presented in the article, post-publication review was unable to confirm whether these sequences were indeed derived from the research described in this article.
