- echelon 3y ago> It's getting really tiresome to see tech bros talk about biology as if they know what they're talking about. My undergrad was in biology, "bro". I was cloning luciferace into plants using agrobacterium-mediated transfection over a decade before this week's news of transgenic petunias. I was planning to do a PhD in computational metabolomics, but life took a different turn: a couple of Google engineers saw the laser projector I built and programmed to play video games on the side of skyscrapers [1], and they lured me away to work on what became a decacorn. My quality of life and net worth certainly thank me for the pivot. Take a look at my post history [2]. My analogies are informed and salient. In any case, I'm working directly in this field now and the results we're achieving don't need affirmation. I tried to communicate this to outsiders in an easy to digest analogy. I'll let our work speak for itself.

- __loam 3y agoIf you studied biology then you ought to know better.
- echelon 3y agoYou need to study optimization. I made a perfectly salient analogy. I'm incredibly busy working, and I'm not going to write an essay to bridge the gap for you. All of the pieces are there in front of you. Humans and the free market are an exogenous fitness landscape that is more than suitable to push these systems to their pinnacle.
