With so many exciting projects, staying focused is my problem. Seeing an experiment to completion from beginning to end is harder especially if there's a lot of troubleshooting in between.
The effort required to do research projects is dropping rapidly with AI and it's hard to not think the value of projects is also dropping. It's a struggle to break that bias and stay excited about research.
"No group of Americans seems to be having more sex—and more satisfying sex—than married men & women who regularly attend a place of worship. In fact, we find the only Americans who have avoided the country’s “sex recession” are husbands & wives who attend religious services at least twice a month." ~ my latest @TheAtlantic w/ @grantjbailey

Hey, @Ch_JesusChrist, my 11 year old noticed that psalms 119: 97 voiceover in LDS Library is incorrect. “O how I love….” Vs “O how love I…”
Guess he loves the Psalms. 😆

I'm concerned that increasingly our culture prevents us from recognizing truth; we are unable to discern right from wrong. How can we be objective and find truth if we cannot evaluate every datum and perspective?
Sobering evaluation. Thanks, @MattInformed .
The jury that I recently served on was hung because:
1. Three jurors refused to discuss the evidence with an open mind. At the start of deliberations, they declared: “I will never change my mind on this. You could never convince me otherwise.” They demanded a hung jury verdict in the first hour of deliberations - simply because our initial vote was split. That was a violation of jury instructions.
2. Very few of the jurors were able to take the entire case in context, and parse through all the testimonies and evidence to decipher what we believed was the truth. They wanted to pick 1 testimony as the perfect telling and did not know how to decide given discrepancies between them all.
3. Two jurors kept objecting to points of discussion because of “bias” that they claimed we were invoking into our deliberations. These jurors claimed that some of the evidence submitted during trial could not be considered by the jury because it would “trigger our biases.” They kept interjecting “that’s bias” or “you’re just biased” or “that’s your bias tainting the evidence.” Other jurors responded to this defensively and would back down at the accusations.
4. One juror in particular - totally woke - viewed the entire world as groups (oppressors) and individuals (victims) and so would not accept anything as true, right, or good that could come from the group (they were the accusers), and defaulted to the individual (the accused) as the only possible honest person. She refused to accept any testimony or evidence offered by the group, and became visibly shaken and angry if any other juror questioned the integrity or testimony of the accused - a testimony that was filled with errors and contradictions.
She was also very condescending to all others.
5. Multiple jurors declared it was “impossible to decide the facts of the case” because there was no video evidence. They lamented that we don’t have “surveillance like in the UK” in all public places, and as such it would be impossible to determine the facts of this case. If t hey could not see the events, they would not believe them.
6. Several jurors could not understand the written law, even after being provided explanations and instructions from the court. They simply could not comprehend. Not that they disagreed, but they could not understand.
7. Two jurors kept interrupting the process of discussion saying “you’re wasting our time” and they kept telling us they wanted to vote and go home and put this mess behind us.
Alas…a hung jury was the right outcome. Not because of the case, but because of the deficiency of the jury.
@ATinyGreenCell Really appreciate you sharing this project, Sebastian. I love it. I added a new feature: the ability to resize the windows between the plasmid viewer and double strand viewer. Would you like me to submit a pull request?
This article gave me all the chills: excitement chills. thrilling chills. nervous-for-the-future chills. Well written.
What will the world look like when you can interface with a never-sleeping-smarter-than-everyone worker at any time and in any subject? 😳
@angiemaek This song is beautiful and touched everyone in our audience Sunday. Thank you for your willingness to hear the words and write the music. We can find sacred groves.
I love PLR! It has saved me weeks of developing time and $$$ in licenses. I'm grateful for the maintainers, the visionaries, @rickwierenga and Camillo. If you're developing a pipeline or platform, a protocol or pharmaceutical, PLR is the way to go! Make everything compatible!
@btnaughton This mBER technique is exciting. Looks like a combo with ColabDesign and BindCraft.
