We ran a randomized controlled trial to see if LLMs can help novices perform molecular biology in a wet-lab.
The results: LLMs may help in some aspects, but we found no significant increase at the core tasks end-to-end. That's lower than what experts predicted.

Our findings ๐งต
The study was the largest and longest of its kind: 153 participants with minimal lab experience over 8 weeks โ randomized to LLM and Internet-only.
They tried 5 laboratory tasks, 3 of which are central to a viral reverse genetics workflow. No protocols given โ just an objective.
They tried 5 laboratory tasks, 3 of which are central to a viral reverse genetics workflow. No protocols given โ just an objective.
Our primary outcome: were LLM users more likely to complete all three of the core tasks *together*?
Only ~5% of the LLM arm and ~7% of the Internet arm completed all three.
No significant difference โ and far lower than experts predicted.

Philosophical inquiry begins with Heraclitus. He stands at the true beginning of philosophy because he discovered the problem that makes philosophy unavoidable. Heraclitus major accomplishment is his break with myth through the discovery of logos
the claim that reality possesses a rational order independent of custom, poetry, or divine narrative, even though most human beings live unaware of it. Born in Ephesus roughly 500 BCE Heraclitus brought philosophy into light.
By insisting that all things are in flux and that becoming, rather than stability, is the fundamental condition of existence, Heraclitus exposed the central crisis of knowledge, if everything changes, on what basis can truth endure?
A new Gaza death toll list provided to the Israeli newspaper @haaretz by the Hamas-run Gaza MOH has been released (the 13th iteration), containing 68,820 non-duplicate entries and covering up to November 10, 2025. Very long analysis of data quality, demographics, and unknowns:
Like all published MOH lists, the November list does not distinguish between civilians and combatants and attributes all listed deaths uniformly to Israeli action. Nor does it include dates of death (no list has) or collection methodology (some earlier iterations did).
The new list contains 68,844 reported deaths, 99.91% of which have complete information. See my previous analysis for more on why โcompletenessโ is only one of several relevant metrics, including validity and accuracy, to use when assessing the MOH list.

Gemini 3.1 Pro is here: A smarter model for your most complex tasks.
Building on the Gemini 3 series, 3.1 Pro is a step forward in reasoning. It's designed for tasks where a simple answer isnโt enough, taking advanced reasoning and making it useful for your hardest challenges.๐งต

With this new release, Gemini applies advanced reasoning to make sense of complex, changing information in real-time.
3.1 Pro can utilize advanced reasoning to bridge the gap between complex APIs and user-friendly design. For example, Gemini built a live aerospace dashboard, taking live telemetry from a public API and designing a front end to track the Space Station's orbit.

The "Broken Ladder" Myth
In 2026, the "linear career path" is officially dead. Recruiters no longer expect a perfect, 40-year unbroken streak of employment. What they actually fear isn't the absence of work; itโs the absence of growth. If you weren't "employed," you better have been "evolving" in some measurable way. Professionals don't just wait for the next job; they prepare for it.

The Psychology of "Intentionality"
The recruiter is asking a deeper question: "Did life happen to you, or did you happen to life?" They want to see that you chose the gap to sharpen your edge, not because you were defeated by your last role. Resilience is the #1 soft skill in the current volatile market. Own the timeline with confidence, and the "gap" disappears in their minds.

We are short $STRL, a poster child for the AI bubble. Data center exposure appears exaggerated. Backlog growth is not supported by contract win data. Margins look inflated. The stock is expensive even vs AI darlings like $NVDA. We see 60-80% downside.

Ever wonder who's running comms/marketing for the separatist Alberta Prosperity Project? LinkedIn reveals the men helping promote separation don't even live in Canada. First, APP's VP of Comms is Walter Harris-DeMelo. He's listed as based in Jacksonville, Florida.
As you see from the above, Harris-DeMelo does double duty from Florida as both VP of Comms for the separatist APP and COO of Mindshift Studios, an agency that brags about using "AI enhanced" marketing to help "disruptors."
The CEO of Mindshift Studios is Christopher Wedick, a son of diplomats who briefly lived in Florida but now lives in El Salvador because even Florida wasn't "free" enough for him.
Yesterday, we released Sarvam 30B and Sarvam 105B. Built from scratch, both models leverage a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, delivering stronger performance at scale while using compute more efficiently.
Sarvam 30B activates just 1B non-embedded parameters per token, so it runs far more efficiently while maintaining strong capability.
The model was pretrained on 16 trillion tokens spanning code, web, multilingual, and mathematical data, and supports a 32K context window that enables long-running agentic interactions.
It is ideal for real-time applications like conversational AI and high-throughput workflows where latency matters.

It is ideal for real-time applications like conversational AI and high-throughput workflows where latency matters.
Sarvam 105B model follows the same MoE design, activating 9B parameters per token to combine large-scale capability with efficient execution.
With a 128K context window, it is built for more demanding tasks including complex reasoning, agentic task completion, tool use, coding, mathematics, and science.
This makes it well suited for enterprise and population-scale deployments that require deeper reasoning and structured problem solving.
