@DavidGlieder @lovepiastri @leclercsletters Yeah but if 95% are heterosexual (which is similar to European proportions) that would mean 1 driver on the grid would be gay. When was the last active driver out as gay while driving. That's why it matters he came out, gay representation is still low in the sport.

@lovepiastri @leclercsletters What does male dominated have to do with heterosexual?? And obviously it’s predominantly heterosexual because all of humanity is. Besides that obviously all the best to him and his partner.

many sports, including motorsports, are predominantly heterosexual due to their male dominated fanbases and overall competitive nature. a big figure like ralf schumacher coming out is very heartwarming for queer sports fans, and i encourage everyone to support him 🫂❤️

@Commenter51 @the_transit_guy No domestic plane trips in France any longer.

@the_transit_guy They haven’t exactly solved it there either though. Both times I was in France there were legs of the trip where a low-cost flight was *cheaper* than a train ticket.

Texas DOT spends $31 million out of its $37 billion budget on rail. Meanwhile, a country the size and economy of Texas:

@dortetoft @austinlawhead_ @mysicksadlife @RottenInDenmark @jamieelisefoto3 I have not been able to find any research that says this. Could you point me to it? Puberty Blockers are a common treatment for children undergoing precocious puberty and they do not undergo testicular atrophy from what I have read.

@austinlawhead_ @mysicksadlife @RottenInDenmark @jamieelisefoto3 The testicular atrophy is after 1 year on puberty blockers. Forgot to mention the medicine, sorry.

@asanyfuleno @hazr198 Look at how much it costs compared to any other nation.

This is so silly. It should have just been built above land. I'm sorry but residents having to look at a train isn't justification for burying an entire project and the cost of billions

@atlas90510 @01Core_Ben @BoulderMurphy @Noahpinion We are absolutely not looking at removing phase 1 trials. That would be insane. AI does not have near the amount of data required to model how a new drug will effect the body.

@01Core_Ben @BoulderMurphy @Noahpinion Nvidia + AI will shorten clinical trials. We’re looking at removing phase 1 and skipping straight to P2/3. Toxicity studies will be modelled using AI. This means instead of 15 years to commercialise a drug, we could be down to 6.

Biotech is going to have its ChatGPT moment sometime in the next 5 years. Figuring out the human body is quickly being turned into a compute problem AND the expense of that compute is falling faster than Moore's law (chart and text snippet from @Noahpinion article yesterday - link in subtweet). "Three fundamental shifts are enabling the exponential progress of biotechnology: First, advances in AI are making truly predictive models for biology possible; second, the rapidly decreasing cost of running biological experiments to generate data for those models, driven by innovations in lab automation and robotics; and third, our ability to engineer animal and plant cells through technologies like CRISPR." For 4.6% ($600) of the average annual cost of healthcare expenses per person ($13,000) - you can now scan an entire human genome. We're rapidly turning cells, DNA, diseases, proteins, etc into digital information - and once it's all digital its usefulness increases by many orders of magnitude. All signs seem to indicate that most cancers will be cured outright (or at least become a chronic condition no more deadly than diabetes) by the end of this decade.

@Polit_eurOpines @StatisticUrban It's also ridiculously expensive and has a number of inflammation issues which can lead to severe adverse events.

@StatisticUrban CAR-T is pretty impressive but it has like a 20% success rate at inducing full remission

>All signs seem to indicate that most cancers will be cured outright (or at least become a chronic condition no more deadly than diabetes) by the end of this decade. As some in biotech, no. Absolutely not lol.

@GrandPotato76 @StatisticUrban It's the cost of DNA sequencing which if no improvements to the process were made probably would have decreased in cost at roughly the same rate as processing speed increased (moores law). It's just a shorthand to show how much it has improved in a short time.

@StatisticUrban Also is there some different type of "Moore's Law" that I am unaware of, or did they just put a line in their graph and put a well known name on it (even though that law is actually about the size of transistors in computers)

@Tiiii69 @H_H_Gray It's usually more about the angle of the light, with many bike lights pointing directly forward or even upwards whereas cars are required to have their lights pointing downwards.

@H_H_Gray Why are some of those bike lights brighter than most car lights though

@notCursedE @VioletBlooms626 I don't think you need it for any of their radio stations.

@PopulismUpdates This one has been my favourite so far

For Minnesota's flag design contest someone just submitted a picture of their dog

@Section8er @nilocobau @gdavis451 @mattyglesias Because people coexist with cars, whether that be at crossings or on sidewalks or even jaywalking, in all scenarios it is safer for drivers to be slower.

I also hate it when the government uses speeding cameras as a cash grab, so I try to stick it to the man by not driving too fast.

@NaturalParadigm @SalaStampRacing @scuderiabrandon Is that Alpine wing held together by duct tape already?

Seems to be a popular design trend... 📸: @SalaStampRacing @scuderiabrandon

Look at the massive cut in this rear wing endplate... 🤯 #HungarianGP 🇭🇺 #F1

@SophiaKianni This shows how small the problem is compared to others but there is also research showing painting 1 blade black reduces bird deaths by 70%. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… So even if people think something needs to be done, there are options

@trippytakes @shoverwhelmed @SilentKev82 @ScottishCommie Electronics don't use a lot of oil and I don't have a car. Just Stop Oil is about stopping new oil licenses being granted not stopping those currently in production. Oil is required for a modern world we all know this, it's about limiting its use so we can reduce global warming.

My god, please start defending yourselves.

@neilorpen @jonburkeUK This analysis does not compare the difference in fatalities between car types. While it does say pedestrian casualties have dropped this is clearly shown to be from overall collisions dropping by half in the timeframe.

@jonburkeUK The statement relating to SUV is lazy - here are facts about pedestrian injuries in accidents Appears not to be SUV’s as you suggest Facts not emotions and prejudice please gov.uk/government/sta…

I have no interest in whether the Land Rover driver who killed a child in Wimbledon “had a seizure” - though, let’s wait for the inquest before taking “sources” as gospel - because the problem is not ‘bad drivers’. SUVs are too big and dangerous. That’s the issue here.

@Nerd4Cities That clearly a school made by big pharma to give all the children asthma /s

Actually had to google this to convince myself it wasn’t AI generated
