I’m not shocked, but I’d never thought about HA being used in that application, even though variations on HA are also used to allow large-volume injections for some long-acting antivirals. Whatever happened to saline injection into the scrotum?

Working where I am in the HIV therapeutics, prevention, and cure-research spaces, the choice (and I use that word on purpose) to go after an effective ban on mRNA technology in particular effectively torpedos any efforts toward therapeutic or preventative HIV vaccine approaches on which we have...

The DIY work for the application is fascinating. There were many analyses of room airflow, conditioning, filtration, and sensor placement published in peer-reviewed literature in the years following the initial COVID outbreak. It would be interesting if the Kawaiicon team collaborated with the...

I like the potential. But I need to see more attention to “how are we going to study/exploit these aliens/bioweapons in our midst” in smart creative and ultimately stomach-dropping ways before I go all-in. (Hello biocontainment protocols while we still can?) The only sympathetic character I...

Somebody stick it through the heart and roast it over a fire!

“Never ever?” reply the audience.

I note that Delta does not explicitly mention the effect of membership in their frequent flyer program and passenger status as inputs to their AI pricing. Doesn’t have to be personal, they could be applying a policy to everyone of specific status levels traveling dates/times/destinations just...

Over 90 laptops stacked at home plus others that were then mailed out by her because “I also thought that the job was allowing me to help others."

The cruelty is the point. Colleagues discovering by email that they’ve been fired, who then have to inform their managers of their fate. K- and T-grants being terminated, setting biomedical research back a generation and leaving grad students and postdocs with no path anywhere. Clinical trials...

As a clinical trial participant currently enrolled in a NIH study, I’m beyond horrified and furious. There are specific procedures for halting a study ethically and safely so that participants are not placed in danger, and the collected data are not compromised. Then there are the participant...

I’ve just had ChatGPT rewrite the chestburster scene from Alien as sensual gore and as children’s television. It even asked if I wanted help scripting the sounds using free libraries. Very chipper.

I like the haunting Frank Sinatra “Lucky Star” in the background…I wonder if they also pick up Ripley’s transmission from the Narcissus (which would give us nerds the voice cameo we want)?

It’d be interesting to know if how much stroke kinesthesiological modeling was done during Ridley’s training to help bridge pool and open-water technique.

Interesting that this also tells us something about dune shapes and how dunes might be formed in this field…you might expect some regularity or directionality if these were wind-driven formations. Questions, questions!

Anybody else notice how basic text editing (getting the cursor where you want it without highlighting the entire word, other weird behavior) changed with iOS 17.0.0? Also, usage-pinning of frequently-used email addresses went totally awry. It’s like the upgrade wiped a lot of your personal...

You’ve totally missed the assignment dude, unless you’re a cis female in pregnancy.

You mean the Jewish Space Lasers or the Gay Space Lasers? Not that THEY ever leave a calling card…🙄

Have to wonder if bone-harvest guidelines (FDA? Company?) require lots be single-donor or not, or are simply agnostic, and if a single test from a single donor/lot is sufficient. A lot of eggs in one basket, even for such a relatively rare situation.

Has anybody experimented with these in other available languages to gauge the degrees of “accuracy” or “verbosity” or downright “hallucination”? It’s on my worklist.

Wonder what 3-octanone from those mushrooms does in the human system? And since they’re volatile, I’m assuming cooking/sautéing the mushrooms lowers the toxicity profile?
