I have big news! I will be leaving @roslininstitute and @EdinburghUni at the end of September to take up a new position as Principal Data Scientist at @DSM!

I honestly think the sort of people who want to be on Blue-sky should just set up a closed Facebook group. It's basically the model they're after


Incredible, honestly

Bulk of the emissions are from burning coal, oil and gas. The rest are from land use, which includes deforestation and forest fires. reut.rs/48UGQnh">reut.rs/48UGQnh reut.rs/48UGQnh">reut.rs/48UGQnh

I looked in on that Blu*sky place: entire site is like a faculty meeting, only you have to read it.

Tory MP Kit Malthouse says he has been a long-term advocate of the change. He said he has heard stories that will "never leave me" - he said even with the best palliative care, people want a different ending. "To me it seems impossible that we should deny that choice.."

Now there's 2 large language of life (LLLMs) foundation models of DNA methylation and aging! Notable contributions from @BoWang87 (with summary below on how they complement each other), @VadimGladyshev, and colleagues including @prof_horvath @rv_sehgal @HAOTIANCUI1 @KejunYing

🚀🌱 Large language of life models: foundation models for longevity and aging! Our lab has recently been involved in two groundbreaking DNA methylation foundation models: CpGPT and MethylGPT! These “Large Language of Life” models (@EricTopol) mark a new era in aging…



We wrote every word that ChatGPT learned from, and it can only parrot that knowledge back. But we didn't write the language of life, so these models can and do reveal things we don't know.

interesting to see how the average voter responds to direct action designed to stop farming families pay any tax on their first £3m of inheritance (and even then at half the rate of everyone else)

Not one independent science agency in the world believes that microtraces of glyphosate cause cancer. It’s not carcinogenic. Here are short summaries. Click through your the actual studies. geneticliteracyproject.org/2024/06/25/inf…

Glyphosate is not banned in other countries. The European Commission just renewed its use until 2033. But if we want to talk about reducing pesticide use - which I am all for - that means GE crops. Which the MAHA movement ALSO opposes. Make it make sense.

Glyphosate safety has been assessed by DOZENS of global safety agencies. It does not cause cancer. It does not cause celiac. It does not impact the bees. It does not do any of the things these people claim. It’s NOT banned in other countries. 17/



There are two groups. Those who try to use AI are skeptical. Those who try to sell AI are not. Funny that.

AI skeptics: LLMs are copy-paste engines, incapable of original thought, basically worthless. Professionals who track AI progress: We've worked with 60 mathematicians to build a hard test that modern systems get 2% on. Hope this benchmark lasts more than a couple of years.
