But avocados is my hair on fire problem
Sovey@SoveyX
Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs? Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage. One is ready today. The next one is ready tomorrow. The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.” Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem. What do you think? Would you prefer your bananas this way?

NEW: I’m so excited to announce the Open Source for Science Fund, with $20M in anchor commitments from @biohub and @wellcometrust.
Given the fast progress on AI, building this connective tooling could not be more timely or important.
First RFP goes live in a week.
Renaissance Philanthropy@RenPhilanthropy
The AI revolution in science is powered by open source software. Let's fund it. Today we're launching the Open Source for Science Fund @os4science, a new multi-donor philanthropic fund by @RenPhilanthropy, seeded by @biohub and @wellcometrust, with support from @KavliFoundation and Research Software Alliance. 🧵os4science.org/news/open-sour… 1/4

@SynBio1 @moleculesrcool @goo_vision The "food" is artemia? copepod of some sort?
If you show me an arthropod, you need to tell me what it is

Visiting @moleculesrcool where he is building the trophic engine - a turbidostat for growing fish food - and it looks like a @goo_vision artwork irl

Overheard in Silicon Valley: “Creation as we know it is the aftermath of a catastrophe: language, after Babel, is shattered. The gap between signifier and signified is a cosmological wound. And the entire history of human thought, from Platonic philosophy to Enlightenment science to, ultimately, the scaling of Al, can be read as the project of Tikkun, repair: the painstaking reassembly of those scattered sparks into coherence.”

Every truly innovative tech space I've had the privilege to visit always has the most beat up, piece-of-shit couch you've ever seen
This is an iron law of technological progress that has no exceptions. To my knowledge, it has never been formally studied
Gaurab Chakrabarti@Gaurab
We couldn't afford a couch when we started Solugen. So I grabbed one from the side of the road. Within a week, all five of us had fleas. Public apology to the original team.

“When I use frontier AI for bioengineering in May 2026, my daily experience is one of frustration. The models are incredibly capable, but frequent and miscalibrated refusals on biological topics make them effectively impossible to use.”
This is spot on. My day to day involves building agentic pipelines for biology, chemistry and drug discovery, and model refusals for completely legitimate requests are the bane of my existence. And I hate to say this, but Claude is the worst (and 4.7 is sadly worse than 4.6), followed by GPT and Grok. There needs to be a way for people like me to seamlessly do our work while we guard against the low-probability high-consequence risk of bio and chemical security.

I've never met I bioproduct I didn't like but I'm not super enthusiastic about this concept

@StuartBlitz This is the wrongest nut-related take I have ever read and I am outraged

Peanuts are by far the worst raw nut. Pecans, walnuts, almonds all massively better.

@baym There are many different ways to store information, useful for different purposes.
Stories are the format for information that you want a human to care about.
English
Until you see the story not as artifice but as an information transmission format honed and refined over thousands of years to match our cognition, you are probably not going to come up with something more useful
English
While I'm all for rethinking data presentation to be more intuitive and interactive, the reason papers are structured as "stories" is not about marketing or spin but rather that that's the information format we've practiced parsing complex information in from a young age
Zechen Zhang@ZechenZhang5
1/ For nearly 350 years, science has communicated itself through one object: the paper. A linear narrative, frozen as a PDF, written for a human reader. We've come to treat that format as the medium of science itself. It doesn't have to be. It's a historical artifact. 🧵
