Claude Science is incredible. I gave it some sequencing data, and in 8 hours it did a full analysis, generated figures, wrote a paper, submitted it for publication, got rejected, revised and resubmitted, got rejected again, it is now applying for positions in industry

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

You don't feel great during your best writings.
You don't feel great when you are about to make the best investment of your life.
You don't feel great when you are about to make a lifelong commitment that will change your perspective.
You don't feel great when you are about to move abroad and rebuild your life from scratch.
You don't feel great during a tough workout that makes you stronger.
You don't feel great when you are reading a difficult book that makes you wiser.
You don't feel great when you are solving a painful problem that makes you smarter.
You don't feel great when you disagree with people who had previous successes, but who are probably wrong this time.
You don't feel great when you are breaking up with the average version of yourself.
It's actually recommended to not feel great; that's when the best things in life happen.

Agency > Intelligence
I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?
Grok explanation is ~close:
“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.
People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.
It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Очень плохо, что Екатерина Михайловна решила высказаться совсем не разобравшись в вопросе, связывая две вообще несвязанных друг с другом истории, это очень плохо для всей оппозиции, образ «над схваткой» только что рухнул.

MultiQC v1.25 is released! 🚀
Did you ever get annoyed by having lots of empty space in General Statistics because of FastQC _1 and _2 samples?
Good news - MultiQC can now group samples! Try it out by setting `table_sample_merge`: multiqc.info/docs/reports/cu…

Customer support is a very personal moment for the user. They are in a trouble and they need assistance. Therefore, the support must be more reliable than the product they have a problem with. A chatbot will never be reliable in all circumstances, just like a self-driving car will never be reliable in all countries and road conditions.

Ukrainian Vovchansk, located just 5 kilometers from the Russian border, now destroyed and deserted. Before the war, it was home to 17,000 people, but only a few residents remain in the city today.

Kyiv, people are clearing the rubble near the children’s hospital. There could be children trapped inside.
It is known of 7 dead and more than a dozen wounded in the capital.

Just look at this. These monstrosities do not care who to kill.
Ukraine desperately needs air defenses to save the lives of its people and children from absolutely ruthless russian terroristic attacks.

Командующий войсками союзников генерал Эйзенхауэр о маршале Жукове:
Маршал Жуков буднично заметил мне: " Когда мы упираемся в минное поле, наша пехота продолжает наступление так, словно бы его там не было. Мы рассматриваем потери понесенные от противопехотных мин как равные ⬇️

Это важный текст. Посадили невиновного человека в тюрьму и стали пытать: морили голодом, держали без света, с одной ледяной водой, не давали теплую одежду, не давали письменных принадлежностей. А когда не смогли сломать, убили. Не забывайте об этом, пожалуйста
Как суд и ФСИН пытали Алексея Навального
В сентябре 2022 администрация ИК-6 признала Алексея Навального «злостным нарушителем» и почти безвылазно держала его в ШИЗО. Представители ИК-6 и ФСИН Владимирской области, Артем Крылов, Виктор Знобов и Илья Круглышев, отстаивали позицию колонии и приносили справки, в которых признавали, что все доказательства на видео были утеряны или стерты. В справках от начальника колонии и других сотрудников просто голословно утверждалось, что, например, стены в ШИЗО покрашены эмульсионной краской, хотя Алексей говорил об обратном; что никаких жалоб от политика они не получали; что радио в колонии играет, хотя там звучала только заранее подготовленная запись. Такие справки Алексей называл лживыми; несмотря на отсутствие доказательной базы со стороны ФСИН-системы, суд все равно отклонял иски политика, не разу не выехав в колонию, чтобы в этом удостовериться.
Даже за право носить зимнюю обувь в холода и лечить больные зубы Алексей Навальный боролся в суде — и получал отказ. Его лишали письменных принадлежностей; изымали письма жены, родителей, детей, друзей, адвоката; отнимали купленные им же в тюремном ларьке продукты, аргументируя это тем, что они просрочены. Держали в ШИЗО вместе с больным «бомжом», без света, с ледяной водой и без нормальной вентиляции. На все это сотрудники ФСИН приносили справки о нормах данных условий. А еще Алексея на протяжении полугода пытали по ночам криками психа, которого специально посадили в камеру напротив политика, хотя в здании ШИЗО всегда были свободны другие камеры.
Все эти условия, которые создавала ИК-6, медленно и ежедневно подтачивали здоровье политика, но суд считал эти действия законными. Поэтому каждый из названных выше сотрудников суда и ФСИН системы приложил свою руку к смерти Алексея Навального — и каждый из них будет носить этот крест до конца своей жизни, как и многочисленные сотрудники ИК-6 в Мелехово и ИК-3 в Харпе.

No, we haven't. The militarization of the American justice system is terrible. Also, every one of these people is alive, not in jail, and will get a full trial with appeals process. Navalny was poisoned, then falsely sentenced to 30+ years in the Gulag, and then likely murdered.
