A year ago I tried to use LLMs to help me solve a multi-constraint problem in the @eveonline.com game and it wasn't there at all. Today it just balzes through the problem with ease. Such improvements in such a short time is stagggering. See repo if you play that game: github.com/adugourd/eve...

My understanding regarding the motivation of the judge for the immediate execution of the ineligibility of M. Le Pen: when confronted with proof of her offenses, M. didn't contest the facts, but that they constituted an offense in the first place. 1/n

Very nice and inspiring piece ! Many things come to mind when reading this article, but the main one for me would be as follows: I wonder if the complexity of the biological system is as much of a problem as our ability to actually study its components. 1/3

This visual is completely mesmerizing me.

Applying LLMs to biomedical research today can go one of two ways: we either use a closed-source web app, or we get coding ourselves. Many researchers lack training for the latter, so their only choice is the former. We want to change that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Something that's been bugging me for a while in bioinformatics data analysis is this overreliance on packages, workflows and what's been called "cargo cult science". Can we have more conceptual thinking, more theory? Asking for what we really want to achieve and what we need to do gets us there.
