Does this mean you can catch pig kidney diseases (they specifically mention turning of a few retroviruses)? I'm assuming pig kidneys are immune to certain human diseases and vice versa. Kind of wild that you have a single organ running an entirely different mammalian OS distro but it is similar enough that it Just Works.

I use SQlAlchemy and just generate a pydantic model that specifies which fields are allowed and what kind of filtering or sorting is allowed on them. Bonus is the resulting generated typescript client and use of the same pydantic model on the endpoint basically make this a validation issue instead of a query building issue.

I live in a small city/large town that has a large number of craft breweries. I always marveled at how these small operations were able to churn out so many different varieties. Turns out they are actually trying to make their few core recipes but the yield is so low they market the less consistent results as...all that variety I was so impressed with.

I thought this was known about older GLP-1 antagonists like semaglutide, which is why there's some excitement around the newer dual-action types like tirzepatide? My understanding is the newer drugs cause substantially less muscle mass loss.

Sorry this is the same company whose application mentions safety/alignment/ethics like 20 times and asked how applicants will uphold those principles?

For those wondering what egregious motor doping (probably) looks like, here's an extremely famous (and some would say obvious) example of it:

For those not familiar with Tom Boonen, Cancellara effortlessly spinning up the Kapelmuur and putting in so much time that the chase helicopter can't even find him would be like beating Usain Bolt in the 100m by 5 seconds.

Just completed (failed) a contract-role-as-job-interview that fell into pretty much every one of these categories. No clear goals, no measure of success, completely left to my own devices. Even had an engineer tell me not to DM them questions. Good stuff!
