@theobjectivist The relevant laws are not patent but copyright. Copyright has clearly this has not been respected.

@CuriosityonX I agree with the principle, but as a Microbiologist I do not agree this "ain't broke" if that water is for drinking.

@__mharrison__ using Matt Pocock's /grill-me skill for thinking through something

[Aaron Saunders @aaronmsaunders]

@mattpocockuk thank you. I have learned them. The suggestion was to spell them out in his materials and videos for first timers.

[Aaron Saunders @aaronmsaunders]

@mattpocockuk I get a lot out of your work, teaching and skills. AI is democratising software. I am a scientist now a dev with the help of AI. Please spell out the terms: eg. ADR, RFC, PRD, more clearly & often for us coming from other fields. 🙏

@ItsKingSlime You're not going to like it but mine is that you can't be a great singer and a competent thinker. You just can't be both. 😂

@CosmicSkeptic I think the other work Ricky's story does is point out to the believer of a specific God that their belief is due to the contingency of where they were born. But your point about the difference between zero and one is well taken.

@NLRG_it There are some fascinating insights in scientific disciplines that go against common wisdom or intuitions. This is one of the exciting things about gaining an expertise. If you think the statement is weird, be curious about it and learn.

Most of coding was never about writing code.

AI is just making this more obvious.

You no longer need to recall syntax, function structure, boilerplate code, or even API endpoints.

That’s the easy part and AI is very good at it.

The hard part was never typing. It was always thinking.

And it still is.

@0FreeRadical0 @NikoMcCarty the multisub system looks pretty nice. Different run lengths and 96 wells plus markers https://t.co/5tbX3ZeSqU

Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin is unlikely to have happened in the way he described. It's almost certainly a myth.

For decades, scientists and historians have puzzled over inconsistencies in Fleming’s story. The window to Fleming’s lab was rarely (if ever) left open, precisely to prevent the kind of contamination that supposedly led to penicillin’s discovery.

Second, the story is strikingly similar to Fleming’s earlier discovery of lysozyme, another antibacterial substance, which also featured lucky contamination from an open window.

Third, Fleming claimed to have discovered the historic culture plate on September 3rd, but the first entry in his lab notebook isn’t dated until October 30th, nearly two months later.

Last, and most important: penicillin only works if it’s present before the staphylococci. Fleming did not know it at the time, but penicillin interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, which only happens when bacteria are actively growing. Visible colonies, however, are composed mostly of mature or dead cells. By the time a colony can be seen, it is often too late for penicillin to have any effect. In fact, the Penicillium mold typically won’t even grow on a plate already filled with staphylococcus colonies.

For years, scientists have attempted to replicate Fleming’s original discovery. All have met with failure.

Our latest essay, by writer @kevinsblake, explains these inconsistencies and points to what likely happened instead.

@clairlemon The economic assessment is not about what they can do with the product in the near term, but the possibility of them achieving AGI intelligence explosion. This is seen as a winner takes all development that justifies investment with outlandish losses short term.
