Yes, we (and plenty of others) have prior data showing that perturbations (things that you can do to cells, like knocking out genes or putting drug-candidates on them) have different effects at different times, so we are excited to see the potential for time course imaging.
Note that "video" is a little different here than the way we all usually think of it - think "minutes or hours between frames" not "frames per second".
This was a fascinating read. I wonder if anyone has done an analysis on the FT structures of various types of data from molecular structures to time series data. Are all domains different, or do they share patterns?
I'm not sure if frequency decomposition makes sense for anything that's not grid-structured, but there is certainly evidence that there is positive "transfer" between generative modelling tasks in vastly different domains, implying that there are some underlying universal statistics which occur in almost all data modalities that we care about.
That said, the gap between perceptual modalities (image, video, sound) and language is quite large in this regard, and probably also partially explains why we currently use different modelling paradigms for them.
No, but if the parent's question goes beyond "how can this happen with reals" to "how can this happen with numbers in general", this answers his question.
The very next example on the page is "imagine two complex numbers with the same magnitude and different angles". For that to answer the parent's question, you'd have to assume he stopped reading immediately after seeing the part he quoted.
The question is why the page says "imagine two real numbers that aren't comparable".
But step 1 is exactly the problem. I assume whatever production line makes my frozen pizzas looks pretty much like Zume's robotic pizza assembly line - except for the part where those are frozen and can be shipped from a single factory to a whole country.
Zume reinvents the whole process, but instead of freezing it they put it in a delivery truck and heat it up on the last mile. Which means the factory has to be close to your delivery area. Now, factoring in competition from all other pizza delivery services, how much scale can you achieve with that? How long until automation of these small-scale runs pays off? And how many sufficiently big cities are there to expand to?
Proper fully automated pizza making solution might sell. But to me at least one video I saw the whole thing was half-baked(in multiple ways)...
Maybe a container sized unit or something that would take ingredients from one end and push out warm pizza in a box from other... I could see those going to self-service or dark kitchens.
So this article was working with concentrations 10x larger on mice (usually worse ability to filter). Beyond that, they admitted that microplastics did not induce an effect which is most of the plastics found in the ocean, etc...
"1.67–2.08 ug/ml" is incorrect. Your link states "1.67–2.08 ug/L". In other words, the paper is about the effects of nanoplastic concentrations which are 10,000x greater than in tap water.
Many nasty chemicals are attracted to plastic particles. As bad as the plastics are, they may be carrying something nastier.
Get some nice PCBs stuck to plastic particles and they may not trip contamination sensors, but get deposited in your body where the PCBs become mobile again and end up in your system.
