Ok to be honest though my gut feeling is that statistically making these sorts of inferences over 30 mutations seems pretty weak, especially since the level of difference between say human and mouse is not that great to start out with, and

> The “anti lab leak” position has always That is absolutely not true. Don't you dare try to rewrite history. The anti-lab-leak position has included claims like "it's racist to say that china lab leaked the virus".

I reread aaronsons blogpost more carefully and I take back my "??!". Daszak is very possibly avoiding the trauma of having had the experience of trying to save lives and ending up resulting in -15m lives saved. That's a uni

Thanks for the book, alina. As a former molecular biologist (who worked on non-pathogenic enzyme gain-of-function projects) when the details of the virus came out I looked at it and immediately thought, "huh, that's exactly what

3d printed buildings. I'm not even kidding. I've been soft-offered a job to write software for this that might get deployed to space. I am seriously thinking about taking the job and using it to get into the astronaut program.

I think it's worse than that. If you are expending mental energy on your dev environment, that's energy you're not spending on thinking about security, readability, maintainability, etc.

I mean I suspect that the flu pangenome was evolving "meta-capabilities" to evade the way that our flu vaccines are selected by the authorities, you can see, vaguely, a declining efficacy of the flu vaccine in the last 5 years pre

What aspect, specifically, is suspected to be wrong? The scientific understanding of viruses might be further along than most doctors suspect. There are concepts like pangenome that are becoming appreciated at the research level that migh

Chemist here too but my ex was an sound consultant for an architectural firm. Iirc, different kinds of noises essentially are defined by the average amplitude (energy) vs frequency function of the rng. For architects, it can be important

The thing is "clean coal" is not totally crazy, there's no scientific reason you couldn't separate hydrocarbons from coal and create a fuel that emits only CO2 -- it's just as an engineering, technical and economi
