Power Soak is out today. It tells the true story of Tom Scholz, the MIT-trained engineer who built Boston's sound in his basement and then spent seven years locked in a fight to control it.

@ryangrim What is an explanation of this behavior that does not involve a lab leak or fear of one?

In a new editor’s note added to a paper reporting preclinical studies of a gene-editing treatment that resulted in the death of a Chinese girl, Nature has flagged “concerns” that have emerged about the publication. The move follows a Science and Retraction Watch investigation that revealed the tragedy and raised questions about the paper’s lack of disclosure of safety data and certain funding. scim.ag/4fy2Isv

Extraordinary that this death happened. This isn't like the baby KJ gene editing which was on the liver (far easer and less risky to edit than the brain), and using lipid nanoparticles (not billions virus particles). science.org/content/articl…

“Seven days after the girl’s medical team infused trillions of viruses carrying the recipe for the base editor into her spinal fluid, she died of a severe immune reaction linked to the therapy.” Today’s must read. science.org/content/articl…

A family in China paid over $800,000 to develop what could have been the world's first gene-editing therapy directed at the brain. Now their daughter is dead, and they want answers.

The Rapid Prompting Method claims to unlock the hidden intelligence of the profoundly autistic. Parents love it, but clinicians say it's pseudoscience. For my latest in @WSJFreeEx, I did a deep dive on RPM, and decided to see this controversial method for myself.

At least 40 former Tesla and SpaceX employees have gone to found or lead clean technology companies. We talked to a dozen of them about what they learned from their time in the Elonverse

my magnum opus: the tiny part inside every robot and drone that america can't make anymore — and the two startups betting opposite ways on how to fix it

I'm sorry, but the level of empirical incuriosity here is just depressing. How was this person ever considered a journalist? There is no universe where DoorDash is an existential imperative.

This is bc they do not have the time or capacity to create home cooked meals. It’s an issue countless ppl have tried to raise w leftists but big leftists online continue to shame/abuse poor ppl for being forced to rely on these services for meals, which act as a tax on the poor

@CJHandmer @TerraformIndies Kind of a bummer read. Why not focus on DAC first, if that's necessary anyway? That's a trillion dollar industry by itself. Seems like they can't even get the "easy" part right while they handwave the hard part.. maybe the CEO should spend less time on Twitter..
