On a quest to help stop the heat death of the universe :) For now, co-founder at making big molecular data from home possible

@eryney_ok @bryan_johnson Indeed! @bryan_johnson if you want to do this on the regular to get densely longitudinal sequencing of immune cell population shifts, we @imyoohealth do this from small capillary samples you collect yourself at home

[dibidave @dibidave]

uh oh what have I done

[dibidave @dibidave]

Amazon locker on wheels with temp controlled compartments for autonomous food delivery - anyone doing this?

[dibidave @dibidave]

I forgot to commit my code before leaving work. Do I walk 8 minutes back from home to lab to commit the code so I can pick back up on it from home, or do I just have Cursor + Claude re-write it all? Yikes, I can't believe we're here.

[dibidave @dibidave]

@AdamDraper A lot of fundamental science to develop here. Hundred years? Assuming our amazing biotech future with relaxed constraints on embryo testing. This is one of the reasons Tatyana and I want to live longer! Diving, flying, and inhabiting other planets, in our skin suits

[dibidave @dibidave]

my response to an IP law firm this morning. Sorry, not sorry, some days I just can't keep it in.

[dibidave @dibidave]

One small thing I try to think about: I know that every dollar I spend on retail goods, luxury, convenience, is a dollar less for all of us to spend pursuing work in the magic of science and nature and tech. Our spending shapes our societal priorities.

[dibidave @dibidave]

So many kids are raised with toys and media that incite imagination about spaceships, dinosaurs, and other magical science and tech. Yet so few of us get the privilege of jobs working on this magic. What can we do to help more people reach these dreams?

[dibidave @dibidave]

I love food, and I think we have solved making tasty food. Other than improving nutrition or sustainability, I see no point in inventing new food. There's already enough variety to keep us all topped up on novelty for our entire lives. Anyone disagree?

[dibidave @dibidave]

I have been playing with a new software development paradigm: sit with the user on a test environment and translate their features/bugs in real time to @cursor_ai agents running in parallel, and as the agents deliver, review with user. Turn a sprint into a jam session

[dibidave @dibidave]

@juliarturc 💯🔥. it hurts me to be so self-aggrandizing, but this resonates too much not to say something. this is why I had to do our own thing. got lucky enough to get it off the ground. I love our startup's little pocket of principles and realism towards a long-term goal. Come say hi!

[dibidave @dibidave]

I love music. I love supporting musicians. Also I love the infinite supply of slight variations of generic AI background beats I can get now. Musicians, you cannot meet my insatiable craving for sound that's good enough to modulate my brain but not good enough to distract me =p

[dibidave @dibidave]

If I ran a customer service hotline software company I would do A/B testing of hold music variants and optimize its impact on customer stress and satisfaction. I bet there's signal there, they're really missing an opportunity.

@ThatMrE @SynBio1 you know, I don't mind being called a vampire =p as long as I'm part of the ethical vampire faction

[dibidave @dibidave]

@ThatMrE @SynBio1 We're doing it! Except you don't have to pay :p we recently got ethics approval to share revenue back upon data sale. Excited to see how people react when they get money for their blood

the idea of people paying in is pretty great I'd love to add that once we show real payout

[dibidave @dibidave]

While a part of the world hems and haws about AI risk and capabilities and collapse and AGI, another part of the world quietly chugs along adding these new tools to their arsenal to increase output effectively. Which of these activities will matter a few years from now?

[dibidave @dibidave]

We overfixate on threats from other nations and people. Mortality from war, terrorism and murder is miniscule these days. Something like 1% of deaths. I think we spend so much on prevention here because we believe we can control it more than accidents or health. Seems misguided.

[dibidave @dibidave]

@InquilineKea A vertiginous (learned that word from this :p) Friday night read, thanks for sharing. As a materialist myself, I like to learn about what the other side is cooking up (especially when it's more rigorous like this).

[dibidave @dibidave]

@bryan_johnson That tracks over here, too. Me? Distress comes from looking around at all the lost energy poured into incremental, transient happiness while there are so many monumental challenges we could be working together on to fight death, entropy, and the end of everything.

[dibidave @dibidave]

So many things have become extreme, less measured. Thoughts, opinions, stances, actions. "This is the end of that" "This is outrageous" "Anyone who thinks X is Y". I long for restraint, for deliberation, for care. Look at that, I think you can even do it in 280 characters.
