A year ago I tried to use LLMs to help me solve a multi-constraint problem in the @eveonline.com game and it wasn't there at all. Today it just balzes through the problem with ease. Such improvements in such a short time is stagggering. See repo if you play that game: github.com/adugourd/eve...
We are hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology at EMBL-EBI (Cambridge, UK). Focus: methods to study cell–cell communication from sc/spatial omics data (building on LIANA+ and NicheNet), in collab with @yvansaeys.bsky.social VIB/Ghent.

Wait a second, you re saying you're from the future?
Great question! Thanks so much for asking. Let's think about the answer...hmm! The current year is 1983. Working backwards logically. I'm from the year 1965, which is 300 years in the future. Anything else you'd like to know?

I like the idea that in Jurassic Park they created Dinosaurs through precision breeding in frogs.
This is a very straightforward application of the laws that are in place, and while we still have many more problem in substance with respect to the rise of far right in France, it's already reassuring to see the law being applied to rightfully reduce her influence on our political life. 3/3
Refusing to admit that her actions constituted an offense is a strong flag that she would relapse if given the opportunity (since she does not consider it to be wrong in the first place). This is a reasonable motivation to declare an immediate execution of the ineligibility. 2/n
My understanding regarding the motivation of the judge for the immediate execution of the ineligibility of M. Le Pen: when confronted with proof of her offenses, M. didn't contest the facts, but that they constituted an offense in the first place. 1/n

It's time for individuals and organizations in Europe and other democratic countries to move mission- or life-critical IT services and infrastructure outside the reach of the US government; noting that US tech companies have already largely subordinated themselves.
