Why is 2026 Nissan LEAF is cheaper than Tesla? Does the Japanese government subsidies Nissan?


We must impeach and jail the sucker.


That's never going to happen, since both parties are deeply complicit.

Apropos of nothing, how much dead weight do you think the streetlights in Washington DC could support?


Don't try to both sides this. Are there any instances of the Democrats bluffing? Or anyone successfully calling a bluff?


She should be in jail.


Can we ask EU to choose America's next leader?


  ipinfo.io rate limit reached; geolocation may be missing until the limit resets.


thanks for letting me know. I believe IPInfo rate limits based on IPs so unfortunately if you are behind NAT or something I suspect you might hit this much more easily. Will try to think of some options.


There must be something dramatic in the Epstein files...


The stupid thing nearly ran over us in Palo Alto...


2009 paper: Self-sustained replication of an RNA enzyme [0].

Amazing! The 2009 Lincoln & Joyce paper you cited catalyzes one bond per hour on average. (Doubling time = 1 hour, but only one bond between oligonucleotides needed to double.)

OP's Gianni et al 2026 paper connects 45 nucleotides, taking 72 days (1700 hours) to yield 0.2%.

The latter effort is like drawing the whole owl.

That is incredible patience. Without access to the full article, I read only the abstract. I wonder if they used simulations to narrow the candidates?



I don't know if ChatGPT translated your rate for the 2026 paper right, but it says you mean:

* 99.8% of the starting molecules fail to form the desired product

* The ones that do, form 0.026 bonds per hour


He did the same thing last time with the pandemic response team. Remember that?



I think the Real Bug™ here comes from product-management: Nobody should be taking this kind of stochastic guess process and then just... 100% trusting the outcome with no feedback to the user and no way for the user to correct bad guesses.

For example, a prompt when opening the file like: "It's unclear what kind of data this is, here are a few options with a preview, pick which one you'd like me to use."

Annoying, but them's the breaks when you're making software and aren't willing to put in hard requirements about what it is expected to (not) operate on.


Ah, the times when computing used to be full of wonder and discovery.
