Love the dude. Met him in line of a Chris Hadfield/smarterEveryDay talk. Absolutely fan-boyed haha. Super nice in person too

I don’t think ‘difficulty getting an account’ == ‘mutual respect’. I think you can make the hoops tougher without sacrificing the culture. Though I’m not sure how best that would happen.

I use Octal which does everything I would need. Night mode, Pleasant UI, and lightweight

Perhaps the concern is more eyes means more poor content?

CAR-T recipient here! It's been a cure some some bleak cancers. Very much a game changer with seemingly a lot more to uncover with it before we move onto something else. Unfortunately for me, mine resides in bone which is hard to traverse.

As a young person with Multiple Myeloma, these articles give me hope but I know a cure is a long way off.

I feel like I'm at the stage where Ill be one of the last people to die from it or I'll be one of the first to be cured of it.

I'm watching companies like Deepmind with great interest. It's my hope that these AI tools speeds up a cure before it's too late.
