"You cannot binge on vegetables on your healthy day and then eat unhealthy the rest of the week" @marcelsalathe.bsky.social EPFL researchers have found that it’s not only what we eat, but how consistently we eat it that plays a crucial role in gut health. 🥗🔬 👉 actu.epfl.ch/news/ai-nutr...

@marcelsalathe.bsky.social talks with Adrian Cabrera de Luis, CEO of MailMaestro. They talk about how “seed-strapping” fuels profitability, why small AI teams beat giants, lessons from consulting, startups & fast tech shifts. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/5DZJ... 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/c...

Babak Falsafi joins @marcelsalathe.bsky.social to break down the true energy cost of AI ⚡️They talk GPUs, data centers VS cloud computing VS supercomputers, and why AI’s environmental impact is bigger than you think but also solvable. 🎧Tune in shorturl.at/qs3OQ or here: shorturl.at/pwrKj

What if we could design proteins like we generate images or text? Stef van Grieken and his company Cradle is doing just that and that could change the world beyond drug discovery... 🎧 Listen to the fully story on our podcast, Inside AI open.spotify.com/episode/6Uhi... @marcelsalathe.bsky.social

New paper examines the labor market effects of Florida's 2022 post-tenure review policy, which weakened tenure protections. The policy increased faculty exits-particularly among high-performing researchers. Also, there were no productivity gains among incumbents. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Characters in search of a better author. Whether you like AI or not, these are genuinely funny. But note that the humor is provided by the human prompter.

In this new #InsideAI episode, @marcelsalathe.bsky.social chats with Anton Osika, CEO of Lovable. They talk about LLMs & product acceleration, security in AI coding and scaling in Europe’s startup scene. Tune in here on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2FOh... #AI #LLM #Startups #TechEurope

Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

New #InsideAI episode just in! 🎙️ @marcelsalathe.bsky.social and @bunnech.bsky.social have a conversation at the intersection of life and computer sciences. They discuss how AI can transform personalized treatment and smarter diagnostics. 🦠🔬 🎧Tune in: open.spotify.com/episode/3sPB... #AIforhealth

Almost a year of avian influenza in cows. No clues on how this started, no signs of abating, concerns about adatation and some speculation about why here and not in europe www.science.org/content/arti...

1/3 Krasse Desinformation in der @woz.ch: «[…] konnte die Covid-Impfung für jüngere Menschen gewichtige Nebenwirkungen haben. Das Risiko einer Herzmuskelerkrankung war für einen geimpften Sechzehnjährigen etwa gleich hoch wie jenes, schwer an Covid zu erkranken.» 🤢 www.woz.ch/path-preview...

How immoral and unscientific: Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children by Russia. Yale public health researchers spent years collecting and synthesizing data for the initiative, known as the Conflict Observatory.

Today is one of those sobering days where we Swiss citizens are reminded that we have no say in who our executive leaders will be. A real oddity in Switzerland, where citizens otherwise enjoy enormous democratic rights, including referenda and popular initiatives.

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

NYT: Ralph Baric and Ian Lipkin raise the alarm on new paper where Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists experiment on ANOTHER coronavirus that can infect humans under inadequate biosafety precautions.😫 “could have significant risks for people worldwide” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/o...

Die Schweiz hat weder ein Ausgaben- noch ein Schuldenproblem. Aber wenn sich die Finanzpolitik des Bundesrates durchsetzt, bekommt unser Land ein Zukunftsproblem. In der heutigen Südostschweiz habe ich für eine andere Finanzpolitik argumentiert👇

The #AI risk executive order in the US is revoked. Status today: 🇺🇸US: heavy on tech, light on regulation 🇪🇺Europe: light on tech, heavy on regulation www.reuters.com/technology/a...

40% seems low. Great to have the data, but let’s not attach some kind of implicit “failure” sentiment to it. Isn’t it just perfect if most people are in academia for a limited period of training? And a few find it in their calling to stay? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The latest from my team in Nature Medicine. We comprehensively mapped the benefits and risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1) (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound). By @Biostayan, Taeyoung Choi and me A 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

US #AI restrictions - excellent SemiAnalysis deep dive. Worth repeating: limits are on COMPUTE, not chip numbers. Want a more powerful chip? Your allocation goes DOWN. The geopolitical aftershocks of this regulation will be massive. Absolute bunkers. semianalysis.com/2025/01/15/2...

In a very large dataset of people with diabetes treated with GLP-1 drugs cf other medications, there were benefits seen for reduced clotting disorders, seizures, neurocognitive disorders (including Alzheimer's), by @zalaly.bsky.social and colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I had a chance to sit down & discuss with JP Fricker, EPFL alumnus and cofounder of AI chip unicorn Cerebras Systems - the company behind the world's largest AI chip. It's the first episode of the new @epfl-ai-center.bsky.social podcast, "Inside AI". Many more to come! Link to pod in comment

👏 Huge congrats to @epfl-ai-center.bsky.social colleagues on developing an AI tool to design proteins that bind only when specific drugs are present, enabling precise control of therapeutic proteins. A game-changer for medicine! 🤩 OA paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🐍 Important AI breakthrough: Using deep learning to design proteins that neutralize deadly snake venom toxins, protecting animals even after exposure. Combined with rapid snake ID via smartphones, this could save thousands of lives from snakebites each year! 🧬📱 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Does ChatGPT use 10x more energy than a standard Google search? TLDR: Probably, though absolute numbers are much lower, and it really doesn’t matter much. More details: engineeringprompts.substack.com/p/does-chatg...

Elon’s extreme hatred of his former friend Sam Harris seems to have begun after Elon made a bet with Sam that Covid would never top 35,000 cases in the US, and was proven spectacularly wrong. samharris.substack.com/p/the-troubl...
