Recursion by Blake Crouch Andy and Dani are stuck reliving their lives again... and again... and again. The time travel theories? Pretty cool. But is that enough to carry a whole book? (Spoiler: the old guy says no.) So how much do you really need to care about characters for a story to land? And more importantly... how many drinks did we have while figuring it out?Trigger warning: This episode includes light discussion of self-harm and suicidal thoughts, as portrayed in the book.

Eric relays his dispatch from Dimension Capital's biotech summit in Park City, where the crowd was much more academic than the conferences we usually attend. Biotech stocks aren't doing great, meanwhile university funding cuts could spell trouble for drug research. Still, people were rosy about AI tools. We also took a temperature check on the state of fintech, which investors tell us is mixed. Everyone's hopeful about IPOs and streamlined stablecoins, but the dollar getting destabilized by the tariffs has some investors skittish. Later in the episode, Madeline explains how Trump's crackdown on immigration is spooking startup founders and employees. Timestamps: 00:42 Lineup of our upcoming fintech summit02:02 Eric's dispatch from Dimension Capital and Recursion's biotech summit09:22 Fintech IPOs and stablecoins en vogue18:50 Heightened immigration enforcement spooks startup employees

His research starts from a simple premise - if our self-awareness, the ability to look at ourselves in the mirror and declare that there is an “I” staring back, is truly unique in the animal kingdom, then it likely related to that moment of coming. But no one really knows what happened in the fog of pre-history to ratchet us from the gauzy time before we were fully human to… whatever all of this that we're living in right now could be called. In fact, this is often referred to as the sapient paradox. Why, oh why, did we become genetically modern nearly 300,000 years ago (maybe more) but take until about 50,000 years ago to start doing human things like making art, ritually burying our dead, and tracking the stars? Many have suggested it was psychedelic mushrooms that pushed us over the edge. This is the stoned ape hypothesis, which says that a sufficiently large psychedelic experience pushed us out of the womb of the earth. However, Andrew thinks it might have been something else. He figures it was snakes. And women. Together, they produced the Snake Cult of Consciousness that dragged us, kicking and screaming, into the world.(00:00) Go!

Dr. Gašper Beguš is a UC Berkeley professor of linguistics who studies the interface between human, machine, and animal language. We head into the conversation with a question - is there something fundamentally different about the way that humans learn and the way that machines like LLMs learn? Vector embeddings of the relatedness of language and the map that we carry in our heads of abstract concepts don't seem that different at the end of the day. This leads us into a discussion of the ways in which humans acquire language, how language evolves, evidence for abstract thought in animals, where the bright line of consciousness can be drawn, and if taking a different approach to training computers to think can generate a machine that can match us in drive and curiosity.  Don't miss the historic cosmology summit in Portugal this summer!!!

Wasm a évolué à partir d'asm.js, un sous-ensemble de JavaScript qui pouvait fonctionner à des vitesses proches de celles natives. WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) permet à Wasm de fonctionner en dehors des navigateurs Web, fournissant des API pour le système de fichiers, CLI, HTTP, etc. Le modèle de composant WebAssembly permet l'interopérabilité entre les langages Wasm à l'aide de WIT (Wasm Interface Type) et d'ABI canonique. Les composants Wasm se composent d'un module central et d'interfaces WIT pour les importations/exportations, facilitant l'interaction indépendante du langage. Les interfaces WIT décrivent les types et les fonctions, tandis que les mondes WIT définissent les capacités et les besoins d'un composant (importations/exportations). La gestion des packages Wasm est assurée par Warg, un protocole pour les registres de packages Wasm. Une enquête a montré que Rust est le langage Wasm le plus utilisé, suivi de Kotlin et de C++; de nombreux autres langages sont également en train d'émerger.

Comment Pinterest utilise Honeycomb pour améliorer sa CI https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/how-pinterest-leverages-honeycomb-to-enhance-ci-observability-and-improve-ci-build-stability–15eede563d75 Pinterest utilise Honeycomb pour améliorer l'observabilité de l'intégration continue (CI). Honeycomb permet à Pinterest de visualiser les métriques de build, d'analyser les tendances et de prendre des décisions basées sur les données. Honeycomb aide également Pinterest à identifier les causes potentielles des échecs de build et à rationaliser les tâches d'astreinte. Honeycomb peut également être utilisé pour suivre les métriques de build locales iOS aux côtés des détails de la machine, ce qui aide Pinterest à prioriser les mises à niveau des ordinateurs portables pour les développeurs. Méthodologies Suite à notre épisode sur les différents types de documentation, cet article parle des bonnes pratiques à suivre pour les tutoriels https://refactoringenglish.com/chapters/rules-for-software-tutorials/ Écrivez des tutoriels pour les débutants, en évitant le jargon et la terminologie complexe. Promettez un résultat clair dans le titre et expliquez l'objectif dans l'introduction. Montrez le résultat final tôt pour réduire les ambiguïtés. Rendez les extraits de code copiables et collables, en évitant les invites de shell et les commandes interactives. Utilisez les versions longues des indicateurs de ligne de commande pour plus de clarté. Séparez les valeurs définies par l'utilisateur de la logique réutilisable à l'aide de variables d'environnement ou de constantes nommées. Épargnez au lecteur les tâches inutiles en utilisant des scripts. Laissez les ordinateurs évaluer la logique conditionnelle, pas le lecteur. Maintenez le code en état de fonctionnement tout au long du tutoriel. Enseignez une chose par tutoriel et minimisez les dépendances.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI for Bio: State Of The Field, published by sarahconstantin on August 31, 2024 on LessWrong. AI for biotech, particularly with drug discovery applications, has been used for more than a decade, with ambiguous success. But in the era of foundation models we may have experienced a step change in what's possible. I used to work on AI-for-drug-discovery years ago, at Recursion, where we sought to identify phenotypes of genetic diseases visible in microscopic images of cells, and screen for drugs that made the cells visually "look healthy" in the hopes that those drugs would also turn out to be effective against the symptoms of the disease. Circa 2016, we were just beginning to transition from the old-fashioned sort of machine learning based heavily on feature engineering, to the new "deep learning" paradigm with much larger neural nets. "Old-school" machine learning was often accused of being nothing more than logistic regression in fancy VC-funded branding, and there was often some truth to that. When our models worked best, they were picking up human-interpretable phenotypes that a pathologist could probably have described decades ago: something like "this disease causes enlarged nuclei". And, when we first started replacing the old models with deep neural nets, it wasn't clear that the New Hotness was going to work better than the Old Standby. But things have changed. Bigger, better models (often Transformer-based) are everywhere in biotech. They genuinely seem to be changing the state of the art in drug (and biologic) development. And it's past time to do a serious review of what's become available and what it can and can't do. AI optimists who aren't familiar with biotech are often wildly miscalibrated about what AI tools can do even in the best case scenario. The average approved drug in the US costs $879.3 million[1] in R&D expenses (counting the costs of failed drugs), and nearly 90% of that is spent on clinical trials. It's legally, scientifically, and ethically necessary to test drugs on humans to see if they're safe and effective. And while the ballooning cost of running clinical trials is a problem worth tackling in itself[2], it's inherently time- and labor-intensive to run valid experiments on human patients. An AI is never going to "design a drug" that you can give to patients right away. Even if the AI were a perfect all-knowing oracle, pharmaceutical companies would still need to run animal and then human trials. AI for biotech is attempting to automate and improve particular sub-problems within that 10% of costs spent on drug discovery and preclinical research. This is hardly trivial, especially if it enables the development of new classes of drugs that were completely inaccessible before. But it does place AI hype in context. An AI model's value to the drug discovery process is bounded by: the labor cost of the time it saves on more manual processes the cost it saves on any experiments it can fully replace the cost of any failed experiments it can prevent from being done altogether the value of any new successful therapies that would not even have been attempted without the model If the model tells you to do something you would probably have done anyway, it's useless. If the model replaces something you would have needed to do manually, it's somewhat useful. If the model increases your odds of a successful therapy, it's extremely useful, and if it adds successful therapies it's world-changing. With that paradigm set up, let's dig into the details. This won't be an exhaustive list of models, or an in-depth evaluation of their performance, but an overview of the big, influential, and buzzy and a summary of what they do.

In one of the year's most highly anticipated decisions, the FDA rejected Lykos Therapeutics' MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Reaction from Lykos was swift, with the company stating its intention to “ask for reconsideration of the decision.”   Meanwhile, against the backdrop of the CDC's recent RSV guidelines, Pfizer scored a big Phase III win for its shot in immunocompromised adults. Separately, Merck halted a Phase III trial of its Keytruda, anti-TIGIT, chemo combo in small cell lung cancer but made a splash with the potential $1.3 billion acquisition of Curon's B cell depletion therapy.

One of the really fun parts of the episode is when he teaches us how to dramatically simplify our code, a concept that's often called syntactic sugar. We get to do `if` statements for the first time, where I wondered why he didn't let us have them earlier! I was cross with him for holding out on us with `try-catch` too because it would have made our coding so much easier.

They are hilarious and eerie and at times dangerous.But what if, instead of building A.I. systems that mimic humans, we built those systems to solve some of the most vexing problems facing humanity?In 2020, Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaFold, an A.I. system that uses deep learning to solve one of the most important challenges in all of biology: the so-called protein-folding problem. The ability to predict the shape of proteins is essential for addressing numerous scientific challenges, from vaccine and drug development to curing genetic diseases. But in the 50-plus years since the protein-folding problem had been discovered, scientists had made frustratingly little progress.Enter AlphaFold. By 2022, the system had identified 200 million protein shapes, nearly all the proteins known to humans. And DeepMind is also building similar systems to accelerate efforts at nuclear fusion and has spun off Isomorphic Labs, a company developing A.I. tools for drug discovery.Demis Hassabis is the chief executive of Google DeepMind and the leading architect behind AlphaFold. So I asked him on the show to talk me through how AlphaFold actually works, the kinds of problems similar systems could solve and what an alternative pathway for A.I. development could look like.Mentioned:“The Curse of Recursion” by Ilia Shumailov, Zakhar Shumaylov, Yiren Zhao, Yarin Gal, Nicolas Papernot, Ross Anderson“DeepMind's CEO Helped Take AI Mainstream.
