Hivemind, if one has to choose one AI #imagegeneration tool to subscribe to, which one would you recommend?

- #ChatGPT and the GPTs available on it are great, but photo-like images aren't quite good enough
- #Ideogram I've found pretty good
- other suggestions?

The thread and paper I didn't know I needed to read today
1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".

Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:

Quite cool he already understands the software. Any change takes forever.

Many academics point to bioRxiv as “the one thing improving science publishing”.

If so, the one thing you all can do is persuade colleagues to submit and make this a norm. 1/2

Really enjoyed #BlackDoves on Netflix.
Cast is great, characters nicely developed and the story a series of twists and turns up to the end.

As I listen to a greater number of #startup pitches, it became apparent (to me) that I need a more 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 but at the same time 𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘦 and 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 way to assess them.

I came up with 𝗣 𝗨 𝗟 𝗦 𝗘 and would very much appreciate your feedback.

I wrote something short on incidental findings in genetic testing. Too long to be shared here.
I'll appreciate any comment from those that have a few minutes to spare

Sifted 250 is out.

The report that goes with it is an interesting read that goes into some details of the geographical and business diversity in Europe (besides spotlighting the top 10 startups).
