Not to mention that ai lets the domain experts create and test proof of concept implementations themselves. This alone has been a revelation for us and saves a tremendous number of design cycles.


Isn’t the point that if you can identify one naval vessel by this means you can probably identify many?


What happens if banks systematically are unable to pay these loans back?


The fed holds US treasury bonds as collateral.

Would you be worried about default if you loaned me a million dollars, and I gave you a million dollars of treasuries as collateral?

It blows my mind that people are getting all worried about fully collateralized short term interbank lending.


>What happens if banks systematically are unable to pay these loans back?

And how would that happen exactly?

But if it did, the Fed would extend the loan, or loan more. Not very complicated.


So it's not a loan


The lender holds the collateral for the duration of the repo loan...


Middle class can handle that, they already have a lot of experience with this. Better to leave it up to them to clean that mess up.


I'd be curious to know how he measures stress levels.


I don't even know how I'd go about measuring stress levels, but I did notice that there were two instances where my blood sugar staid elevated for much longer than it should have after lunch, and both times there was a somewhat stressful/non-routine situation (an interview, and riding a scooter across town).

Of course, Google is the one going to be handling our DNA data through an innocuous sounding subsidiary.


I have registered for All of Us but have yet to be called in for an in-person visit. I live in central NJ but it seems the closest medical centers are in NYC.

Have you had a chance to do so?


This study also claims to have shown a dosage effect.


Codified Genomics - Houston TX codifiedgenomics.com

Codified Genomics is hiring a user interface and HCI developer. We have a massive amount of data to show users and need someone to develop new ways of presenting and interacting with it. Our current user interfaces are written in GWT, so experience with Java and css are important.

The software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We do clinical genomic variant analysis. We take whole-exome sequence data and predict clinical outcome for the variants we observe in patients, which is then used by clinicians to inform treatment. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms.

A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the job will require you to become familiar with the Biology that we're working with.

Codified Genomics - Houston TX (remote OK) codifiedgenomics.com

Software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We're looking for experienced software engineers who are up to that challenge, and who have a track record of working in an environment that demands a high level of quality.

We do clinical genomic variant analysis. We take whole exome sequence data and predict clinical outcome for the variants we observe in patients, which is then used by clinicians to inform treatment. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms. We started with seed funding and are currently profitable with revenue from our first customer.

We're hiring our first engineer. At Codified your responsibilities will be wide - you will probably end up touching every piece of software we write, with an emphasis on the user facing applications. We are currently using GWT and mysql with some scripting in Python. Additionally, you'll help us grow our team over the next few months as we continue to add engineers.

We have a large number of interesting projects under active development, spanning natural language processing, machine learning, user interface design and of course sequence analysis.

We're looking for someone who is experienced, flexible and willing to work outside of their comfort zone. A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the job will require you to learn the basics of the Biology that we're working with.

We're willing to consider remote work for experienced candidates, but preference will be shown to candidates in the Houston area.

We are offering 70k+ salary and equity. Contact us at codifiedgenomics@gmail.com


Interfering with telomere activity is a critical step for cancer progression (see the halmarks of cancer, limitless reproductive potential), so this procedure essentially makes every cell in your body pre-cancerous.

In my opinion, the most amazing part about this is that the way in which telomerase is delivered is via a retrovirus, typically a relative of HIV.


Since telomerase is not really an oncogene, I'm not sure that the notion of "pre-cancerous" that you're advocating has any meaning. By that token, nearly every cell is pre-cancerous, and in a fetus even more so.


I really like this. It reminds me of the ideas Steve Yegge was discussing with his "software engineering political axis". https://plus.google.com/u/0/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSK...
