Too many headlines are only talking about how a man used ChatGPT to design a cancer vaccine for his dog But the truth is Paul Conyngham himself stated that the final mRNA vaccine construct for his dog Rosie was actually designed by Grok This fact is buried deep underground The exact sequence that shrank her terminal tumor by 75%: - Sequenced the DNA: He paid $3,000 to sequence both her healthy genome and the tumor's DNA to find the damage - Analyzed the Mutations: Used AI tools like AlphaFold to compare the data and identify the cancer-specific mutated proteins - Designed with Grok: He leveraged Grok to design the final custom mRNA vaccine blueprint to target those exact mutations - Manufactured & Injected: He partnered with university researchers to manufacture the custom nanoparticle vaccine and successfully administered the doses Every headline is pushing ChatGPT....but the final design that actually shrank the cancer by 75% was done by Grok

As we finish Chamilo 2.0, we are testing the integration of specific AI models in specific contexts. Nano Banana is great to generate illustrations for documents, Grok is great for last-minute knowledge in tutoring chatbots and generation of STEM-related tests, etc What a time to be alive! Here's a first-attempt (clipped) isometric schema of how a CDN reduces load on a web server, generated from within Chamilo's documents tool.

Sweden is committing more than €100 million to a sweeping classroom overhaul: replacing tablets and screens with traditional printed textbooks to help reverse falling student performance and sharpen focus. After more than a decade of embracing digital-first education, Swedish authorities are now pivoting back to paper-based learning. Official data and recent studies cited by the Ministry of Education show that prolonged screen use in class has been linked to shorter attention spans, weaker reading comprehension, and reduced critical-thinking abilities. Research consistently finds that reading on illuminated screens requires greater mental effort and invites more distractions compared to the calm, linear experience of physical books—factors believed to have contributed to declining academic outcomes in recent years. Under the new plan, every student will receive printed textbooks for all core subjects, restoring books as the central learning tool. Digital devices and online resources will remain available as supportive tools, but they will no longer dominate daily instruction. This bold €100+ million investment signals Sweden’s leadership in rethinking the role of technology in education. It underscores a broader, growing recognition worldwide: while screens provide speed and access, the hands-on, distraction-free engagement of physical books supports deeper concentration, stronger memory retention, and more effective long-term learning. By choosing paper over pixels, Sweden is charting a path toward a more balanced, evidence-informed classroom future—one that puts proven pedagogical principles ahead of unchecked digital trends.

French agrivoltaics trials show crops under solar panels had up to 18% higher yields, far fewer heat-stress days, cooler soils, and better animal welfare — while generating clean power. This is a win-win governments should scale now.

I realized way too late that if you're using PHP-FPM with Apache, you can actually drop MPM Prefork and use MPM Event🤦‍♂️ Because of course... why could you not? It's a separate process.

Many people think of the genome as a string of "letters." The human genome, say, has 3.2 billion base pairs of DNA organized across 23 pairs of chromosomes. But the genome is a 3D object. Genes located on entirely different chromosomes might be clustered together. Mutations in these "distant" genes can lead to disease in surprising ways. For a new paper in @Nature, researchers released several "maps" of human genomes from two types of cells: embryonic stem cells and fibroblasts. They compared methods to see which ones are least biased, and found many long-range interactions between genes. The article does a good job explaining how “the genome is organized at different scales”: > On a single chromosome, histones control which parts of the DNA sequence are accessible and expressed. > At the scale of hundreds of thousands of bases, “chromatin loops in a dynamic manner,” the authors write, bringing distant genes closer together. > Across chromosomes, sequences "cluster together in space to form subnuclear compartments." Examples abound. Enhancers, for example, are short DNA sequences that regulate the expression of far away genes. They do this by *physically* touching the genes they control; a protein called cohesin grabs the DNA and tugs it into big loops. Even promoters, which are thought of as being associated with one gene or operon, can cluster together across many genes! A protein, Ronin, grabs promoters and pulls them together. This is apparently done mostly for genes that tend to be "on," as it helps enzymes find genes faster/not have to diffuse far away to find targets. (This also happens with genes that tend to be "off;" so-called polycomb proteins grab onto promoters, cluster them up, and silence all of them at once. It's a way for the cell to conserve energy.) One consequence of this spooky "action-at-a-distance" is that diseases might arise from mutations in unexpected locations. Editing these regulatory sequences, in other words, might in turn affect a gene located on an entirely different chromosome that *is* associated with that disease. Genetic mutations linked to autism, for example, are known to disrupt the 3D organization of the genome. A single deletion at a gene, TAL1, also affects its ability to form long-range chromatin interactions with other genes, leading to leukemia. There are probably many other, as-yet-undiscovered, instances of this.

Belgium’s 15-year-old prodigy earns PhD in quantum physics. Laurent Simons has officially become a doctor in quantum physics after defending his doctoral thesis at the University of Antwerp on November 24, 2025.

A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights: 1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI. 2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later. 3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators. 4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc. TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.
