hummuscience··on Creating a Garmin "MCP"
I am very happy with liftosaur and it's MCP for that!
hummuscience··on Moderna reports first positive Phase 3 for mRNA neoantigen therapy in melanoma
Coping. It's been a long process. When I saw his first diagnosis (he was diagnosed very late) I read the papers and knew that his chances are slim.

It's hard seeing him like this. 63 years old. Going from completely functioning to non-verbal in 3 months fucks you up

Sadly it didn't. And it also lead to extreme bleeding in the brain metastasis that we had to stop it. Switched to BRAF/MEK inhibitors and that looked good for a few months until it didn't anymore.

My father is currently dying of malignant melanoma with brain metastasis...

I wish this treatment was available a few years ago.

Get Uber drivers/taxis, truck drivers, ups/amazon delivery people etc. As your relay devices (and gives them extra cash for driving around)
hummuscience··on ICE test train reaches speeds of up to 405.0 km/h
For every train, there is a fixed number of tickets per price category. So sometimes, you can still find cheap tickets ("super sparpreis") a day before because thag specific train didn't have many bookings:)
hummuscience··on Building an AI that watches rugby
The moment I started reading this, I got reminded of this recent study: https://arxiv.org/html/2503.10212v1

The scope is a bit different. The study uses an LLM to interpret pose estimation data and describe the behavior in each frame. The output is text which can be used to create embeddings of behavior. As someone who works in ethology, that's a clever (but maybe expensive) idea.

I think the author could use something similar. With multi-person pose estimation models.

hummuscience··on WikiTok
Since its text, especially text with links to other articles, there is no need for tags.

If I had a clue how to do this (sorry, just a neuroscientist), I would probably create "communities" of pages on a network graph and weight the traversal across the graph network based on pages that the person liked (or spend X time on before).

This is protein on a western blot but the general idea is the same.

hummuscience··on 40 out of 60 German climate greening endavours fraudulent
It depends.

40 out of 60 is easier to grasp for many people than 67%.

Percentages are better in cases where the numbers are harder to imagine (like your second example).

Not "the Chinese subsidiaries". Only one of them.
