People who don't want to learn how to program can always find a reason why not to. This time it's AI, last time it was that tech was over because the Internet Bubble burst, the time before that it was that all the programming jobs were going to be outsourced to India.

@VictorTaelin @nnotm If you want to see something really interesting, ask an LLM how Gödelian incompleteness applies to it.
@miniapeur It felt very strange at first that the set of rational numbers is countable.

@gtuckerkellogg @jocelynkaiser It’s incontrovertible that there has been an effort to silence the idea that a research incident may have had something to do with the pandemic origins, and harassment at scientists who dare mention this —no matter how politely— has been a part of this. It’s straightforward.
I believe that reporting on online harassment should be fair. The latest piece by @jocelynkaiser does not point out the harassment that these dozen scientists filing a complaint have themselves engaged in towards other scientists like myself in the past 4 years.

What she said, @jocelynkaiser. I both witnessed this and been subjected to it. It should be unacceptable. Alina has been subjected to more harassment than almost anyone, endangering her, including from highly-credentialed people who constantly complain about harassment.

People trying to stop Miguel de Icaza from talking about Palestine have once again succeeded in filing enough fake reports to get his account shadowbanned. So I made a deal with him. For as long as he's shadowbanned, I'll post his tweets for him.
Even if AI were going to make human programmers obsolete, the best way to figure out how to adapt to its rise would be to learn to code, because software is what it's made of.

Can't tell by looking at the genomic sequence if SARS2 came from the wildlife trade or a research-related "leak". The only way to settle such matters is of course by independent…
Is SARS2 a reverse genetics system? I don't believe Bruttel et al have shown convincingly that it is. But has Crits-Christoph (CC) shown that it isn't? Where they see "hotspots of silent mutation", he sees "hotspots of recombination", pointing to a natural origin. How much...
@simon_gordon_ @AndrewButchart1 @MonaRahalkar Prove zoonosis, catchphrase, errand boy, lonely hand puppet.
Everyone exhibits hypocrisy to some degree, but some have taken hypocrisy to unimaginable heights in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
1/ Why did Daszak release this email? An obvious reason comes to mind... Morens: "As a coda, Tony knows about your work. Sometimes around 1 Feb, I sent him an email outlining your work." "We will be doing what is possible to protect you and your research over the long haul"
It’s starting to smell very badly for Daszak. And there is more in the pipeline. I have been working on his grants and on P.O. and have a few articles soon ready to go. There is more too in the background. At this stage, it would be wise for some to start cutting their losses…

If we make the requirement stricter, that there are exactly 6 segments, matching a statement in a FOIA'd DEFUSE document, the probability drops to only 0.66%. Note however that these probabilities...
the same paper that CC himself references. The restriction map of that "reconstructed ancestor" actually has 7 BsaI/BsmBI recognition sites (as opposed to SARS2's 5), but what if we simulate silent mutations?... doi.org/10.1038/s41586…
@simon_gordon_ @emilyakopp Simon, what on earth are you even talking about? FOIAs are not “stealing data”. Go look up why Congress and the states passed Freedom of Information laws.
@DanielPrantner Scientists at WIV co-authored a paper with Ralph Baric that demonstrated that introducing a furin cleavage site in merbecovirus HKU4 allowed it to start infecting human cells. Do you seriously believe WIV scientists didn’t know the potential significance of an FCS in nCoV? 2/

I wish EcoHealth Alliance had spent more effort creating professional quality slides and less effort creating unnatural viruses that cause pandemics if they escape the lab.
EcoHealth's slide is so dense it almost looks redacted. The slide resembles something a grade school student would cobble together at the last minute. I hope someone used PowerPoint's animation feature when they presented this inscrutable mess.
@Ayjchan Their behavior is exactly like they had made and released a bioweapon, but nobody wants to mention it. The one explanation that accounts for all the evidence and behavior is still taboo.

@Kat_Says_Stuff The operative word is 'belief' which I fully support her right to hold, as I support the right for Christians to believe in creationism. The issue is she is asserting her belief is scientific and a material truth which it isn't, and that those who disagree are espousing bigotry.
