Biotech IT Exec. Tweets are my views only. Strategic thinking about science, technology, and business. Simplifying complexity. Twittering since March 21, 2008.
@SplinteredMind@grok I think it is happening more frequently than in the past with ChatGPT and Sonnet, too. I've decided that the Gell-Mann amnesia effect is just as important to watch for with AI as it is with the news.
Unavoidable, I suppose, but this is how @nytimes finally dies by its own hands: "The New York Times Help Wanted: Looking for an AI Editor to Start Publishing Stories: Six Figure Salary" https://t.co/TRVb0LA2OP
@manimota Among the books I simply do not have the heart to remove from my shelves -- even though I no longer work in a lab -- is one known simply as "Maniatis." (Full respect to Fritsch and Sambrook, of course.)
Since it is my 15th anniversary on Twitter, I scrolled through some old tweets. This one still rings as true today as it did when I shared it five years ago:
As someone who used twitter a lot in its early days, a lot of this rings true for me, too: "The rise and fall of my use of Twitter." https://t.co/DNoB3jluwf
15 years on Twitter? It's all @miketrap's fault for telling me to try it. Soon, I was organizing & live-tweeting healthcare conferences, & @markhawker listed me as one of the top "tweeple" in healthcare. It was a brief, innocent time. #oldtwitter#healthcamp#MyTwitterAnniversary
@pbleic One of the criticisms of the "blue check" was that you couldn't apply for it. Instead, you were selected for it, leading to accusations of arbitrariness. In 2021, twitter started allowing people to request verification, but only if you fit certain profiles https://t.co/q9R6QWmvTe
@annoyingfeed A related annoyance: since scroll bars seem to be unwelcome in "modern" interfaces, if a line of text ends cleanly on the bottom edge of the text area, there may be no indication that additional, sometimes critical, information is hidden from view.
@annoyingfeed I've experienced this glitch many times in similar circumstances, e.g., when picking up the phone and using Face ID to unlock it in the same motion. It seems to happen if the phone unlocks during a transition between portrait and landscape or vice versa.
@morrick I need a new Mac laptop for personal use, and I've decided to get an M1 Air instead of a comparably equipped M2 Air simply to avoid the notch. I want more space for menus and app/status icons, not less.
@lapcatsoftware A user has preferences, while a device or a program has settings. Sure, "Settings" may take less screen real estate, but something important and human is lost when we de-emphasize a user's "Preferences."
