It's an OK article but the tag line should be "Trump illegally cancels Northwestern's contracts and refuses to pay them", not "Trump blew up Northwestern's business model". If you hold up a bank at gunpoint and abscond with bags of money you're not "blowing up its business model". You're stealing.

All these ML-centric rewordings of old ideas is getting tired.
Next someone will write a perspective comparing evolution and reinforcement learning.
Or ensemble modeling as wisdom of the crowd.
Boring!

Excellent reason to only use defined, designed barcodes (flanking inserts) and identify/filter out any discordant barcode pairs.
Random barcodes == you never know what you're going to get!

Thrilled to have @hsalis.bsky.social as the keynote speaker for today’s workshop on AI in Biology! After a prologue of intense discussions, he follows the tradition of every visitor by stepping onto Km 0 at Puerta del Sol—the geographical center of Spain & a place of significance for every Madrileño
