A baby has died of whooping cough in Kentucky, becoming the third child to die of pertussis in the past 12 months across the state. The Kentucky Dept. for Public Health confirmed none of the infants had been vaccinated, nor had their mothers. wlwt.com/article/kentuc…

I do think biotech/health is one of those fields that rarely allows a college dropout to succeed (there are exceptions and if you are a true autodidact then sure) because you actually do just need to consume years of content before you start developing an intuition for biology.

This all started when they gave a thiel fellowship to a kid who had only completed 1-2 years of undergrad comp bio so he could drop out and re-invent 23&Me. I always find it funny that the griftiest biotech startups have roughly the same idea that every student brainstorms on day…

A handful of pretty big X accounts look like they were suspended today. Not sure what they did/if they were caught up in something by mistake. Anyone notice any others?

Maybe not every single item in our lives needs to be connected to the internet. Did we ever consider that?

I worked with gifted black and brown kids in Washington, D.C. in the mid-90s and I always find these attempts, almost always in the name of racial equity, to be such a slap in the face to those kids who finally got to feel normal for once in their life. They NEEDED to be around…

You’re a five year old. You love to read. You can read chapter books. You’re excited to start school in the fall. Then you actually start school. You’re stuck doing basic literacy. The rest of your class can’t read. You’re not allowed to read your books. You’re frustrated and…

This is bad news. This is very bad news. The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature. Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at BlinkingGuy.com

Biologists to CS people discovering LLMs are inscrutable:

In computer science, they teach to separate the data from the compute. It's very basic stuff. This is why LLMs slap you in the face as a software engineer. They go ahead and violate this principle maximally egregiously. An LLM isn't data—you can't query it like a database or…

It's insane the amount of gaslighting and revisionist history that is taking place. I worked on those death wards and in the ICU. I was one of the first doctors to care for COVID in the US. I co-led the COVID response team at Cedars-Sinai. You will not convince me that COVID was…

CDC data: over 1.2 million Americans have died from COVID I personally cared for - and lost - over a hundred of them. For the Secretary of Health to say "I don't know how many died" is outrageous. The loss is real. And denying it dishonors every family that lived through it.
