Exactly, him & his firm have been leading the bandwagon on crypto investments, social/mobile, ads, "scooters", and all the other sectors which are all hype & no build.
Lucid Align | SF or Remote | C# Xamarin | Full-Time or Part-Time | https://lucidalign.com
Lucid is a scientific desktop tool for genomic sequencing data. It's part of a larger toolset used for sequence alignment, variant calling, and annotation. Pretty much inspired by Sublime Text, for sequence alignment maps (sam files).
Looking for someone to fix some bugs and refactor where necessary.
If you have fun working on this, the larger toolset is in C++ and uses Caffe2, so you can try your hand at that once this work is completed.
If you are nearby and want to meet up, or faraway and want to chat just hop into the discord channel.
"Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge" is my favorite work by Karl Popper. His 1945 work on the Paradox of Tolerance seems more appropriate here.
"...as long as we can counter them (the tolerant) by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise"
and
"it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant"
The behaviour that Popper warns about (forbidding rational argument and answering arguments with force) sounds more like the left, than Alex Jones. [2] [3]
Traditional variant calling, that is bayesian methods, have gotten very good at detecting point mutations, that is single letters. But have hit a wall when it comes to more complex structural mutations, we wanted to build this for example to focus on driver/passenger mutations in tumor/normal samples. (check out the "Preface" post for our LSTM version, and the logic behind this)
Hey, I'm one of the guys working on this. These are just our notes and drafts, and even though we are at ~97%-99.3% the goal is to get to 99.9587% or higher because out of 3-4 billion letters that is still significant. Here's a cool non-technical magazine article about it https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/922315550054793216
