@jacopo_gab Does industrial need 500L multiplexed or would 10L pressurized multiplexed suit, I'm curious about an ideal array, 100 bioreactors, 500? Genuinely asking. Thanks @logos_unbound for tagging us in.

@p_maverick_b "North America is currently building out about $12 billion of dairy-processing capacity. "

What's the capacity for lactoferrin precision fermentation/ infrastructure development over the next 3-4 years? Is it even 1/10th of that?

@aphysicist @nimivashi15 Legacy steel and pharma centric focus are some of the reasons biomanufacturing fails to scale. Materials, fuel and ingredients infra can be built without crippling capex.

Team took chloroplast parts from supermarket spinach & implanted in mouse eyes. Turned light into E 🔋.

“We are stealing the entire technology that has evolved over millions of years in plants and are able to transplant it into the animal system”

@Ginkgo Would hardware designed to work with the RAC system help at all ?

@ThatMrE As a contributor twice to the process it's an incredible feat that I'd liken to a compliant perfusion bioreactor. One that is unaffected by an overdose of bromelian (pineapple enzymes)

If you aren’t subcutaneous-loading wood frog AFPs before your dawn patrol, are you even optimizing for cold-water duration? ​My blood is currently 4% glucose/urea by volume. No more frozen toes, I just enter a ‘controlled dormant state’ between sets.

@jrkelly @Ginkgo Is Ginkgo moving toward a standard 'RAC-compatible' spec for 3rd-party hardware? As a builder, I'm curious if there's a push for firmware openness to ensure arm-to-device handshake. Basically 'GRASP' (Ginkgo Robot Automation Standard Protocol) so hardware is plug-and-play

do you understand what just happened to your computer..

Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..

It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.

And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.

Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.

At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.

The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.

Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel

To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.

Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

I know Synbio Beta is kicking off today and gutted to miss it but one of the best examples of this is Marvel Labs and Jake Miller talking biomanufactured adhesives and how we use 3D printing to make optimized geometry for biology

[Dr. Shelby @shelbynewsad]

what the field of TechBio is realizing is the untapped opportunity in bio-AI is in newer, small data areas. some areas id love to see updated, scaled, translated to startups are:
- AI for self-assembling materials
- explosive/energetic materials
- synthetic ecology
- adhesives/coatings
- photonic crystals
- AI for flavor (a lot to watch out for here 👀)
