Au contraire. The proteome was solved by LLM transformers trained on genetic strings

Perhaps you are unaware that AI has solved the Proteome. This was expected to be a 100 year project.

Oh god, another AI hot take 🙄

Yes, OpenAI and Cursor both are waaaaayyyy overhyped & overvalued.

So were pets.com and yahoo.com back in 1999. But that didn’t stop FAANG from becoming honestly trllion-dollar valuation because while there was breathless Internet hype, the Internet was about to completely change the way the world works.

AI today is like the Internet in 1999.

“You cannot regulate the design of a hammer so that it can drive nails but not kill anyone, but you can criminalize the killing of a human by a hammer,” Gawdat said.

God I hate managers who think they’re so deep 🙄

It’s too early. I read this as “Release the Epstein tapes”

Why not, it’s doing its damndest to detect everything else

I cry for the world that could have been, if Tor and Monero gained widespread adoption

This Week in Virology has been shocked aghast and brutal about how mind-numbingly stupid RFKJr is and surrounds himself with the same. They talk about Thimerosal what what insane policy is going down here:

I don’t mind that Trump is kicking the USA in the nuts; the MAGAs love it.

I mind that, because USA is so massive, the whole of humanity is also impeded by these science-denying Christofascists

‘twould be much better if only Crooks’ finger had crooked a quarter second quicker

Well… it means I was (and fyi still am) the kind of rube that is on fixed salary but works way more than 9-5 M-F

But at least I do it in my PJ’s at home

I delete all my social media periodically for similar reasons.

Even communities of people who are really level headed and supportive, like academics and engineers. Eventually there is groupthink, tribalism, and generally people who I am over (and I’m sure it’s mutual)

IMO it’s a nice middle ground between a typical Linux system where every app you run has access to everything else you run, vs a system like Qubes where every app is locked down in its own VM

I bought one of those release CDs. I used it to be able to use ppp + my 486’s modem to connect to my employer’s network which let me WFH on an 80x24 tty.

LibreWolf saved the spirit of firefox. Screw the Mozilla Board of Grifters. They could have just provided hosting for open source solutions/VPNs and sell lots of swag maybe host an actually good podcast … but no, they leaned into selling user data WTF

Questions are piling up about whether a region nicknamed “Flash Flood Alley” should have done more to prepare for Friday’s deluge […] “It’s very tough to make those calls,” Rice said.

Quite the mic drop. But wait:

Texas officials have suggested that the National Weather Service (NWS) didn’t adequately warn them

hampered by the Trump administration’s cuts to the federal workforce, which cost the NWS nearly 600 workers earlier this year

I do vaguely wonder how this stuff is spun by the Pravda-level propaganda that MAGA consumes.
