Calvin spent 28.5 years in one of the worst federal prisons for a murder he didnβt commit. But instead of growing bitter, he taught himself the law. If he could endure that and still choose to fix the system, then we have no excuse. Knowing Calvin has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

I find it helpful to ask the questionβwhat's the next ribosome?
During the origin of life 4 bya, a folded matter phase of proteins & RNA emerged from an autocatalytic carbon cycle.
Then the ribosome acted as a "controller" to repeatedly create high-value proteins.
What are the AI controllers now?

The Engagement Is Better on Bluesky - Bluesky
Bluesky is the lobby to the open web. Find and build your community here.
We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.
All thanks to the incredible community here! π¦

The world has already eradicated smallpox. Polio is the next disease we could eradicate.
Here's how we got to where we are now, mostly thanks to the polio vaccine.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.
