New from my lab on bioRxiv - we found an existing drug that appears to be safe in humans that selectively kills chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells.

when we talk about elite failure, this is a big part of it, at the leadership level in education and in business, too many executives simply refuse to exercise any kind of judgment whatsoever, everyone wants the perks, no one wants the responsibility

The muddying of distinction between the bullshit engine and genuinely life-saving applications of ML / AI is intentional. It allows the people trying to sell you genAI to claim noble intent and dismiss legitimate concerns.

Having AI crammed down our throats is bullshit, but machine learning has some real uses in science. This awesome page shows experimental cyclone track forecasts from Google DeepMind and Google Research's AI weather models, along with forecasts from ECMWF. 😍

It’s so very easy to weaponize uncertainty:“We just can’t know if it’s safe, so better not to act at all”. Everyone is glad when the precautionary principle is used as a cudgel against something they already dislike, but the problem comes when it’s used to ban something you know works-like vaccines🤓

A roll of aluminum foil is maybe one of the most incredible things you will ever hold in your life. That was a creation for kings and you wrap it around food and throw it in the dumpster. You talk about planes as aluminum cans, as if both are not one of the most incredible creations in history.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Frankly if you think that “cleverly satirizing a troll” is a compelling way to post on here I’m going to assume you are a boring person with uninteresting views and mute you
Friends,
If I have never communicated with you before about anything ever,
And your first communication with me about anything ever is extremely troll-like,
My first thought is going to be "that's a troll," not "that person is on my side but is cleverly perfectly satirizing a troll"

“They are drunk and silver is stolen” covers so much.
Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

You in my business now… don’t do that
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Last year we did a big order from a local food truck that does barbecue tacos. On top of a few veggie dishes it was both plenty to eat and minimal work while tasting better than any turkey we could have done.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”
