In 2001, I wrote a page called "DNA for Programmers". Over the past year, 1.7 million people visited my mRNA vaccine explainer. Loads of folks asked me, where can I learn more? Proud to announce the 1st trial chapter of my book: The Technology of Life berthub.eu/dna-book/ 1/3

π¨New pre-print alertπ¨
Very excited about this one. We take a spiking reservoir network with homeostatic nodes and embed it in the action-perception loop of an agent. And it does all kinds of cool stuff, right out of the box!
A looong π§΅ below...

Happy 29th anniversary to the time someone published a peer-reviewed article where they re-discovered THE INTEGRAL and then had the nerve to name this breakthrough mathematical theorem after themselves
Itβs been cited over 500 times π€¦ββοΈ

Great article by ! Really drives home the wonder of the genetic code, and provides a very accessible primer on DNA basics for those more CS-minded. Seems he has a book in the works, too! berthub.eu/articles/posts #DNA #programming

And the back-up cache of Mars samples is complete!π₯³
In our quest to find fossilized life, we have collected two samples from each rock deemed worthy of coming back to Earth. Half the samples have been deposited on the surface as a back-up and half remain on-board the rover.

Great book coming out 2 March by . Will help you decode the maths of everyday life like a pro. Buy it if, like me, you need a refresher on stats or you skipped maths at school! Guaranteed to turn you into a first rate BS detector! twitter.com/BristOliver/st

Comparing the prevalence ONS infection survey and death certificates by age (2 week lag), you can derive a "measure-that-isn't-an-IFR-but-likely-proportional-to-it".
You could use moving averages, but here I've fitted a simple state-space model - involves fewer arbitrary choices.

"The problem is that these bogus results tend to go unnoticed. If you are doing subsequent calculations, your results may be tainted by invalid intermediate results. And you might never know since infinities can also vanish without a trace"

Being interdisplinary is odd sometimes. To mathematicians+computer scientists I am "the biologist/clinician". To molecular biologists and clinicians I am "the statistician". I am both excited about the science I span and also fearful of being accused of being a fraud everywhere.

Look I don't care how much your chart confirms my priors, I am not even "like"ing it unless it has a source and a title.
Alt text describing the chart is also helpful for accessibility and gives you plenty of characters for full sourcing details. Use it.

Just a regular reminder that V24 is not a trustworthy source of information.
The article they refer to literally says that these are going to a military exerice in Finland, not anywhere abroad.
Finland hasn't made the decision about sending Leopards yet.

Bullshit.
Monumental, geological-scale bullshit.
Rotates the same way, always has, variations in rotation speed are on the scale of one part in 100,000.
Stop pouring bullshit into your science pages. Hire someone numerate. Come on.
