Utkarsh_Mood··on FDA clears blood test to aid evaluation for Alzheimer's disease
While AlphaFold is great, to my knowledge, these proteins have several non-significant IDRs (intrinsically disordered regions), which have been and continue to be hard to model with AlphaFold. I work on computational modeling, so if I had to guess, I'm very unsure if people are using it for whole protein modeling, rather than looking at more specific domains where it probably does much better.

Utkarsh_Mood··on Show HN: Cancer diagnosis makes for an interesting RL environment for LLMs
fair enough. I wonder if fine-tuning over different modalities like IMC, H&E etc would help it generalize better across all
Utkarsh_Mood··on Show HN: Cancer diagnosis makes for an interesting RL environment for LLMs
none of the models you mentioned are open source...
Utkarsh_Mood··on Show HN: Cancer diagnosis makes for an interesting RL environment for LLMs
Do you think finetuning these LLMS would bring about comparable results to specific models trained for this?
Utkarsh_Mood··on YC: Requests for Startups
going of a tangent but would you say it's worth going to a similarly ranked uni(oxford) if one wants to go into entrepreneurship given its more 'academic' emphasis? as opposed to somewhere like UCSD where it's not as prestigious but close to the tech scene.(bonus points for california weather ha!)

sad to see no neuro-ai , is it too early?
Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2024?
maybe its naïvety, but I expected a more optimistic/positive outlook from the hacker community lol.
Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2024?
just curious, why are so many predictions so pessimistic?

Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: What is your most wanted HN feature?
a direct messaging system, there've been countless times when I've wanted to ask a poster some (unrelated) questions, but they have no contact details.
Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: Did any of you first encounter programming through Scratch?
yeah scratch, visual basic and swift playgrounds got me into it. Great for piquing interest, especially being able to see projects others built and interact with them.

super cool! what model are you using for this?

Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: Great resources for university calculus/physics?
*in thinking
Utkarsh_Mood··on Ask HN: Great resources for university calculus/physics?
Would add "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics",S. S.Krotov. It is tougher than Irodov but definitely improves upon your skill in think about hard problems

iirc midjourney has figured it out although its closed source if you were wondering.

Looks great! If you could make this a PWA i'd download it for sure.

Suggestion: If you could set intervals of deep work for around 1.5 hour's too and log them that'd be pretty awesome, with breaks in between.

Utkarsh_Mood··on Scores decline again for 13-year-old students in reading and mathematics
I have a brother who's 13 years old.

Before the pandemic, he was a pretty smart kid, around the top half of his class, with an interest in learning for the sake of learning itself. During the pandemic, classes happened online(microsoft teams) and almost all his friends were playing video games while teaching was ongoing and disconnecting if asked a question(Not chastising him here, I did this too at times ha!)

Back to school, he's been struggling with simple algebra and geometry, which should have been clear(in a normal scenario) a year ago. The desire to learn, has been replaced with other more short-term pleasures like watching yt,gaming etc. School teachers are ill-equipped to address this but thats a tangent I'll not go off right now.

My parents have hired a private tutor for math to help him address the struggles he's facing right now, because the school sure as hell wont.

Utkarsh_Mood··on Pricing Money: A beginner's guide to money, bonds, futures and swaps
> On the other hand, if he's a good farmer, and the farm produces well, and he doesn't over-extend his risk on what he's committing to, he now has a fixed price contract for his goods, which isn't going to fluctuate based on time (assuming the contract is honoured - if he's worried about that, Jeremy could then buy insurance on the risk of a default on the contract

So basically a third party would step in to assure him that he'd be paid the fixed price for a small fee? Are there no repercussions if the contract isnt honored?

would you recommend any books/resources before jumping straight to this? Thanks!
Utkarsh_Mood··on Probability and Markets [pdf]
right no I guess thats not what I meant to say, rather that I expected any learning material from Jane Street(which has some really rigorous interviews) to give a better heads-up to the type of thinking thats required to do well in those interviews.

Honestly I expected it to go over far more advanced topics than these, most of these are covered in the last year of high school over here.

All the same, imo it's imperative people know what the actual definition is rather than misconstruing it for something else

Here's the definition of Hindutva according to the Supreme Court, if anyone's curious

“Hindutva is understood as a way of life of state of mind and is not to be equated with or understood as religious Hindu fundamentalism…it is a fallacy and error of law to proceed on the assumption…that the use of words Hindutva or Hinduism per se depicts an attitude hostile to all persons practicing any religion other than the Hindu religion.”
