Bioinformatics scientist at the Broad Institute 🖥️🧬. I am working on (pangenome) graph alignment and machine learning algorithms for identifying multi-omic QTLs in the All of Us Biobank.
Easier might be to use “basedpyright” which has built-in uv environment detection support.

Deep learning excels in image analysis & protein structure prediction.

I remember this blog: kobzol.github.io/rust/cargo/2...

But it was released earlier this year, so not super recent.
Making Rust binaries smaller by default
Have you ever tried to compile a helloworld Rust program in --release mode? If yes, have you seen its binary size? Suffice to say, it’s not exactly small. Or at least it wasn’t small until recently. T...

ChatGPT when you ask it to write something clearly and succinctly:

"Salutations and felicitations, sir, and a most jocund welcome to the sink. I am your electronic valet and household central processor. May I be of service, sir?"

“Liberal democracy,” he says, “offers moral constraints without problem-solving” — a lot of rules, not a lot of change — while “populism offers problem-solving without moral constraints.”
