Only someone who can't think at 2nd order would ever take virtual cell models seriously without many unrelated breakthroughs. There are obvious, indisputable reasons they are stupid, and no one needs them more than me.

If your field is getting more "perspectives" papers or "position" papers, you're going to get feudalism and dreck. I'd hop :)

"give it to god"-- god of course being the transformer.

William Gibson owes it to the world to do another neuromancer, but where it's just descriptions of how lame the real person or prompt is behind every high follower X shitpost account. Instead of the real sexual content, dms with e-girls. Coin swindles making 5k instead of heists

If universities don't stand up to the "dark enlightenment" they will lose all their relevance.

The amount of disrespect one has for other people's thoughts, is often crazily proportional to how desperately one craves approval and validation. It's a joke embedded in humanity.

Imagine getting ratio'd by a guy with half your rizz on your own crappy propaganda platform 😂

Beautiful work. So beautiful I think it must be viewed as a suggestion. Still pretty. biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Harvard Medical School, are you OK with this outcome? Who will speak up for her?

One of the most powerful ideas unused by the average person is to optimize baskets of decisions rather than individual decisions. The reason for this is: even if you have no MEAN signal on the individual decisions, you can optimize the basket.

Is medicinal chemistry semi-martingale? 😀

All you need to know about Twitter

Literature is as close as it gets to a cure for the human condition, and a boox air 4 is a really good way to read.

The Department of Education, among other things, is what funds special education for children with disabilities. Trump’s executive order will hurt kids and parents in virtually every school district in the country.

Hilariously Rober's Twitter account won't load for me rn. That douche loves free speech 😂😂 youtu.be/IQJL3htsDyQ?...

The number of layers of "I'll create a virtual layer to solve this dependency issue" involved in python 3.12 on ubuntu 24 has reached comical, untenable levels.

the feminine urge to

The intercept just published what they believe is a pesky south African fascist's email attach to their non-official yet powerful position in the USG....

So you mean electing a fake-rich reality tv guy to run the world's biggest economy was... a goof?

Nevermind that pumping coins you plan to buy, while claiming you can't afford the NIH is homicide. decrypt.co/308424/trade...

The way patent protections work for drugs is clownishly silly-- it should be a simple similarity measure for compounds with collected data, but the situation in biologics is even worse, and definitely will need to be re-regulated. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The most braindead thing about this idiotic sell gold to make "sovereign wealth fund" scam is that the chances of any active fund at that size outperforming gold are near zero.

Professional societies stand together in defense of science & scientists. “science has led to humanity’s greatest advances, improving people’s lives & the health of our planet … (we’re) committed to supporting, elevating, & fighting for science & those who further it.“ www.unitedsciencealliance.org

If you work in chemical physics or ML, pursuing this type of thinking is being on the right side of history IMO.

10/10 science guys will see this and be like: Hell yea. arxiv.org/pdf/2403.15007

The fact that the OS LLM community shipped something 1000x better than apple intelligence should make people call for a spinout of apple's excellent hardware division from it's potato-brained software division. github.com/allenai/OLMo...

We'll be hiring a machine learning engineer to work on chemical data extraction VLMs. If you or someone you know has done custom VLM data extraction please send them my way.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...
