I had this opinion until I actually had a new model and felt the weight difference.

The duality of Man

Synthetic biology: changing genes or expression of genes in cells, etc

What do you mean exactly by “Epstein People”? I thoroughly hope it’s not the 4chan definition of it

Liberalism (in the traditional economic sens) likes competition. Capitalism is a mode of production, and capitalists notoriously don’t like competition when they are the incumbents

First yes it is. The claims that this time period was too short to meaningfully change phenotypes in human populations was not entirely far fetched.

Then to address the elephant in the room - which is the race discourse subtext let’s be honest - it’s highly unlikely that any recent selective pressure on a separated population, which resulted in meaningful phenotype adaptations, happened similarly everywhere at the same time

“What scientists are wary of is how any discussion in the field gets jumped on and twisted into ammunition to reinforce racist beliefs”

Yet nothing ruined the reputation of the scientific establishment more in recent time than their tendency to change their behaviours and adapt their beliefs for political motives

There is a graph arguing “intelligence” has been positively selected in west Eurasian population in this paper according to a polygenic score (page 8 fig. 4)

Now I would be quite curious to know how they constructed this polygenic score

Synbio but it’s expensive as hell

Latin America isn’t a country and Venezuela wasn’t developing in any sens of the word

What country would be the stereotypical example you are thinking of? I fail to find any

Well, this has been entirely vibecoded, so not sure the code itself has any value. It's a 2K line index.html that you can check here if you wish too: https://github.com/nesco/paperverse

Hey everyone, I was wondering if a Poincaré disk would be able to usefully show the local structure of a graph while showing most of one

I used a collection of ML papers to explore this

Which it can’t. There is nothing to disagree about. With current demographics projection no amount of taxes can cover welfare states

Thank you for your hard work. I don’t have a lot of time right now but would love to try to contribute to FreeBSD early next year

Created a tiny tech blog aggregator, after noticing the same blogs appeared over and over on HN’s front page: https://techblo.gs

It was mainly an excuse to learn Go to be frank.

Also to anyone reading this I am taking any blog suggestion you could have

Hi HN!

I wanted to take the time to try the things that got meme'd on X (formerly Twitter): HTMX + Golang on an Hetzner VPS and SQLite for the DB, deployed with basically a big rsync. I found that some blogs appeared regularly on HN's Front page, so I made this simple tech blogs aggregator to list them, and link to their latest articles.

The source code can be found here: https://github.com/nesco/techblogs.

Also if you are the owner of one of those blogs, and want it to be removed, just send a PM!

Arc Browser, Arc Prize, Arc Institute and now the Arc Warehouse

I am afraid “Arc” became too fashionable this decade and using it might decrease brand visibility

Let’s be real: both of us have no idea of how it would play out. Pharma companies will try to add them to their stack at some point, and then the real world data we currently lack will decide for everyone
