This is a pretty cool finding. Biofilms are also beyond reach of antibacterials usually. And seing a commensal become a problem due to "location, location, location" is also cool.

Nice article. Cool leads

But of course this is a slow way to grow my network. But I like the slow linearity of the timeline this way.

As per usual: supplements are not that marvelous as the influencers say.

I think there are still basic hurdles to take before we can go epub to audiobook in a quality that can compete with current state of the art.

Or am I missing something?

But I am glad they tested this, clearly it should work. In the end many more people use windows than I like to think about. And by far not all of them have WSL.

But yeah, seems like agents are even worse when they are outside of the Linux-bubble comfortzone.

Now a lot of people use it to add context to their model. And also tool calls?

I am using continue.dev not Claude but I imagine this tech stack will be ported everywhere.

As a python Dev I don't quite yet understand though how and what service I should be running. Or be using. Tbh. Can anyone ELI5?

Can't read it

Sequencing a new fungus is not that rare. It's done all the time these past years. People discover new species all the time.

What is cool is that they already know a bit about where this fungus lives and what it might do.

The hard biology will be go actually culture it, test it's abilities and see what else it can do.

I mean the article is very short so this is me speculating, but if it is of interest they might figure out what the symbiosis really means to the plant and the fungus.

Also discovering the gene clusters that produce the active compounds will be cool and interesting.

Edit: just so it's clear, its amazing that the student was involved and had the trive to do this. It's easy to not be curious but she was and also she was in an environment where her curiosity was taken serious. That's a great feat of the superiviser or whoever else was involved

That's not the same as a diffusion model.

Here is a post about the difference that seems right at first glance: https://diffusionflow.github.io/

This seems to be the paper, but its behind a paywall.

Anyone with access can tell me if they publish the 12mer amino acid sequence? Is there more to it (post translational modifications)

Or is it just the peptide?

One can only hope this is not intentional.

I understand that the people he interviewed are likely in the business of profit making but as a journalist for the BBC I would have hoped for a more honest take.

"Put the most expensive item first so that the others seem more reasonable"

That's just messed up and not something to be celebrated IMHO

And to the reconstruction: I don't think it does in this case. As they talk about working with frozen cells and we are not in the realm of frozen Mammuts who's genomes has degraded and needs to be reconstructed. In that case yes, we would talk about smaller pieces.

One scifi book that was very impactful to me is the black cloud by Fred Hoyle. It's such a well thought out story and has held up remarkably well for a 50 year old novel.
