Mitochondrial DNA mutations can lead to rare disease and accrue with age. But how does nuclear genome variation influence mtDNA variation? Here in >250k people, we find that nuclear variants can impact variation in the levels of mtDNA mutations. (1/5) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Octopuses are surprisingly intelligent, and reproduce at 1 year old. If we'd started a breeding program 50 years ago, we probably could've gotten them smarter than dolphins by now. A disappointing failure of the long-term mad science ecosystem.

Stats question: There seems to be a lot of call for replacing p-values with things like the Bayes factor. But to make a decision, I wonder if what you really want is to do a cost-benefit analysis integrated over the posterior distribution... is that ever doable?

Elon recently toured Tim Dodd around the Starbase facility in Texas, where SpaceX is building the tallest rocket ever (Starship). Over 2 hours of footage. It's gold. Best part: Elon breaking down his 5-STEP design and manufacturing process. Here it is 🧵

All of you have seen cave art, right? Either sketches or photos in books or online. If you're really lucky, maybe you've been in a cave yourself with a flashlight or something. But is it possible that the way we look at cave art today hides a key aspect of the art? 🧵

The co-founder of Chewy raised $550M at a $11.5B pre-money to do something in the video game space. Pretty cool. Surprised Tiger did not get in the round.

I will never forget a conversation I had with the composer Alvin Singleton at @MacDowell1907. I said, "What’s it like being a composer? Whenever I try to write music I get like 40 seconds in and get stuck." "What you call Being Stuck," he said, "I call Composing."

Modern military intelligence satellites have a resolution of 5-10cm per pixel (2-4 inches), so most things are big enough that you can see them from space. "Wow, that's a big tomato" "Yep, it's so big that you can see it from space"

@mattyglesias Sorry, 20th and 21st. We should also, incidentally, be more prepared for solar flares. Those also happen every century or two, and a modern one would cripple the electric grid for moths and kill potentially hundreds of millions of people.
