The main advantage of human written code is that there exists a human who wrote the code, understands it and can answer questions about it without lying or hallucinating.

AI can obviously be used to be more productive, and there's no ontological reason why human-written code is inherently better but the sheer amount of slop generated internally despite passing *700 tests* is simply staggering. there's just no alternative to cleaning up the slop

Happy to see this brief comm accepted in @ISMEComms! We looked at the impact of stop codon reassignment on the functional annotation of bacteriophage genomes (1/9) doi.org/10.1093/ismeco/ycae0โ€ฆ

Driving through stop signs: predicting stop codon reassignment improves functional annotation of...

Abstract. The majority of bacteriophage diversity remains uncharacterized, and new intriguing mechanisms of their biology are being continually described.

Long-term fasting remodels gut microbial metabolism and host metabolism

Long-term fasting has become a promising research subject for its potential of treating and preventing metabolic diseases. However, little is known about its impact on the functional capacity of the...

There's a kind of programmer who gets a kick out of indecipherable disgusting hacks that run lightning fast, and a kind of programmer who enjoys code a sedated toddler could understand, and an unbridgeable chasm between them
