For the first idea, you'd have to have some lethal protein or something that's specifically inhibited by the chemical of interest. Coming up with that might be even harder than the original problem. And even if you could, evolutio

This looks like every other linear algebra book I've ever seen. Other than the provocative title I see nothing that distinguishes it.

Not mentioned in this article is Cpf1, another CRISPR enzyme which is unambiguously owned by the Broad Institute and may have less off-target activity compared to Cas9. It could easily be that this entire disagreement is over nothing.

I'm not sure how you're measuring excitement, but I wouldn't say it's died down. The entire field is only four years old, after all. This really isn't enough time for a technology to mature.

At the time I felt like I became noticeably smarter. That may have been the arrogance of a 20-year-old, but the perspective shift was so vast that I was forced to think about things in completely new ways (for years after the trip was over)

It will be interesting to see the response when this data is hacked and the browsing histories of the politicians who passed it are released to the public.

Yes. It's just noise. But I guess it's hard to write a story about how nothing has changed in decades.

well that's 52 years from now, and for some perspective, FORTRAN was released 59 years ago. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that a paradigm shift will happen in half a century.

I would highly recommend Xubuntu instead. Aesthetically I don't think there's a better Linux distro, and it's almost to the point quality-wise where I'd recommend it to my parents.

No, not at all. It's basically just a discussion of what it means to be conscious and the ethics of creating sentient machines.

I can't remember the specific example, but it was a scenario where the source language was ambiguous but the target required more specificity. It was like "give me some bread" in one language and then when I supplied "gi

Did they find a way to remove bots from the download statistics? My very obscure image library had over 2 million downloads despite an estimated 10 to 20 users, which would make 30,000 effectively equal zero.
