Does this mean you can catch pig kidney diseases (they specifically mention turning of a few retroviruses)? I'm assuming pig kidneys are immune to certain human diseases and vice versa. Kind of wild that you have a single organ running an entirely different mammalian OS distro but it is similar enough that it Just Works.

I can only see 670k rows

I use SQlAlchemy and just generate a pydantic model that specifies which fields are allowed and what kind of filtering or sorting is allowed on them. Bonus is the resulting generated typescript client and use of the same pydantic model on the endpoint basically make this a validation issue instead of a query building issue.

I live in a small city/large town that has a large number of craft breweries. I always marveled at how these small operations were able to churn out so many different varieties. Turns out they are actually trying to make their few core recipes but the yield is so low they market the less consistent results as...all that variety I was so impressed with.

Damn AGI got hands

Not loving this trend of AI generated audio

I thought this was known about older GLP-1 antagonists like semaglutide, which is why there's some excitement around the newer dual-action types like tirzepatide? My understanding is the newer drugs cause substantially less muscle mass loss.

I would like to know how far through the firehose I have traveled

Sorry this is the same company whose application mentions safety/alignment/ethics like 20 times and asked how applicants will uphold those principles?

Ah yes Tom Boonen, famously ill suited to the flandrian classics

For those wondering what egregious motor doping (probably) looks like, here's an extremely famous (and some would say obvious) example of it:

For those not familiar with Tom Boonen, Cancellara effortlessly spinning up the Kapelmuur and putting in so much time that the chase helicopter can't even find him would be like beating Usain Bolt in the 100m by 5 seconds.

Yet another weird parallel: Scarlet Johansson did a cover album of Tom Waits songs in 2008

In my mid-30s and I can’t imagine not being interested in new music.

Does the footage look slo-mo to anyone else? Is that really how lava (magma, idk what its called) actually move through the air?

Just completed (failed) a contract-role-as-job-interview that fell into pretty much every one of these categories. No clear goals, no measure of success, completely left to my own devices. Even had an engineer tell me not to DM them questions. Good stuff!

Ladies and gentlemen, we got her

I don’t know about you guys but I’m sick and tired of stable protein nanowires of electric bacteria jerking us around like this. Quit playing with clues and just TELL US already smdh

Yeah we can tell

I realize this is ad hominem, but when I used to live in the west village I would see him all over the place in the middle of the day, working, but notably not in an office. It was A Thing. I would see him (frequently, he was a fixture of the Joe's on Waverly in particular) and with envy think about what a great gig he's got, that he had the freedom to work wherever he wanted. Reading about him literally tear up at the thought of all those empty desks in all those empty buildings across Manhattan is hilarious.

I also happen to have it on good authority that when he did show up to an office he would arrive, and I am not making this up, in pajamas.

How long before these get minted as NFTs?

So a subunit protein vaccine is (in the case of the SARS-CoV-2) _just_ the spike protein?

I'm guessing the subunit protein vaccine has to inject all the spike proteins the immune system will need in one go, vs the mRNA vaccine which can take advantage of the body's cells to manufacture them.

I was there for this! I actually use this as an example of a perfect mini-batch project to anyone who's skeptical of what they can get done in a week.

I have mild-strong synesthesia and it's fascinating to see how someone else sees sounds - and also how physically uncomfortable it made me.

From Pymetrics' CEO's Linkedin:

Avid technophile who believes audited AI can act like CRISPR: retaining all the wisdom of humans while stripping out ineradicable bias.

lol wut

was this really hard to read for anyone else? The spacing and layout is really hard to make sense of.
