I don’t understand how this achieves a higher density. Won’t taller towers cast larger shadows, thus requiring towers to be spaced further apart?

fwiw, upgrading from rx580 to rtx5070 solved all of my performance problems (both on windows and Linux) for a number of games.

I’m not so sure. When pharma companies are flush with cash they tend to get more experimental. Lilly’s gene editing group is one of the few that’s doing well (last I heard anyway) and they recently acquired Verve. I can’t imagine that would

You’re not seeing all the other candidate treatments that made things worse. If it just gives everyone a heart attack immediately the question would be, why didn’t you try this out on mice first?

Many misconceptions here, let's clear them up: > if there are other genes between the ends that are cut I think what you're saying is that if two sites on the same chromosome are cut, then everything in between is deleted. Howe

If we're thinking about the same youtuber, I found that experimental design to be really poor. They said they were lactose intolerant as a child, but they didn't confirm that they still were (decades?) later. I was lactose intoler

Good catch, thanks!

Many (most?) of these are achievable with neovim and tree-sitter (a plugin that gives you access to the AST), and surely many other editors. I have plugins installed right now that do several of the things that are mocked up here. Many more

My approach is to understand the topic one level deeper than is needed to satisfy my immediate needs. It’s not always enough but it usually exposes any obvious traps you’d run into with only a surface level understanding, or at least lets y

It is maddening, but you can just ask your doctor to prescribe it. There are plenty of ways for them to justify it.

mRNA is a natural molecule produced by every living organism. All it does it cause a protein to be made. Where's the nightmare?

Just one personal anecdote: I definitely find contradictions or gaps in my thinking/knowledge when I write. Finding and resolving those deficiencies is what I point to when I say "writing is thinking".

I take most of your points except the last one. The feedback would come in the form of publications, definitely from academia and to a lesser degree industry (admittedly a slow iteration time). Also just public discourse - there was no dea

I’d speculate they convinced themselves that their startup was fundamentally great and they just needed more time for it to attain its full potential. The fake users were just a way to show JPM the company they’d eventually have, so nobody

The problem is that biology is such a huge and complex field, and there's simply no way to make progress without incremental work like this that has no immediate payoff. To even contemplate whether something like this could cure cancer

I think it would help to explicitly reframe this question as: “where can we find the millions of dollars needed to pay for however many full time software engineers are needed to develop a modern browser?”

They emit water vapor, not liquid water. Gasoline-fueled cars emit roughly the same amount of water as a hydrogen-powered vehicle, so we already know this isn't an issue.

I'm using something similar to Heisig, and I can already tell that while I can list all of the radicals and components in a character, I have no memory of their relative positions. I'm also not trying to learn them and I only usin

I used to, but it basically showed that no one ever gave away my email address to spammers, or at least if they did, the spam filter caught it. It's not worth it.

Yes, but while animals are a black box to some extent, the outcomes of the experiments are not. And you don't have to worry about whether your results are an artifact of your simulation. Your instincts are good - if we could simulate p

Suppose your fancy new robot is wildly successful and can let me examine 2-3 orders of magnitude more sequences - that's still an infinitesimal fraction of all possible proteins with the same function, and now my DNA synthesis and sequ
