pretty sure this was/has been the deal with bail reform in NH. “oh no, we couldn’t keep this obviously violent repeat offender in jail because of the new law” when there absolutely was still judicial discretion permitted for exactly that situation

It’s honestly way cheaper to get tickets to the BSO than to see pretty much any concert at Fenway or the Garden… on top of that, they do a great discount for under-40 patrons (i no longer qualify, sadly 🥲).

When people in power deliver bad news to you, they expect you to just take punch, accept it, and move on. In these situations, we need to empower ourselves to reject the premise. I want you to look at three time points in the fight to save the academy of natural sciences with me. (Thread)

i saw a Meta ad last night where the assistant did all the back to school shopping and athletics signup for a mom while she prepped cocktails and… i just can’t imagine AI getting even that all correct without me putting in at least an equivalent amount of work on the front end and following up.

I’m seeing a new allergist-immunologist and today he brought up this study about how much Astepro nasal spray, which I use daily, appears to decrease the likelihood of COVID, flu, RSV, etc. I have barely gotten a cold since I started using it but had no idea why. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

David Quammen's essay in The New York Times today closes with this paragraph. It's both a scientific falsehood, and an incredibly dangerous narrative. If you're willing to give me five minutes of your time, I'd like to explain why.

The Ebola virus doesn’t need to spill back. It abides in its reservoir host, and awaits its next opportunity. A virus can’t climb out of a bat or a monkey and fly off in search of human prey. It can only spill over. If humans left the reservoir host alone — not hunting it, not capturing it, not eating it, not exporting it live, not disturbing its forest habitat — the virus wouldn’t re-emerge in humans. It would remain where it is, harming no one. But of course that’s not what happens. And when viruses spill, they often spill into us, because the human population is such a big, busy target.

Frontier AI now beats the best human virologists on biosecurity-relevant evals. Once an AI model bests every human expert we can test it against, a higher score stops telling us anything about real-world risk. Read our new blog post on how bio evals have to adapt: securebio.org/blog/evaluat...

Diagram showing that as AI model capabilities move from beginner to expert to superhuman, evaluations for chess and cybersecurity can shift from human-built proxies (puzzles, coding benchmarks) to real endpoints (real games, real exploits), while biosecurity cannot safely make that shift and must instead rely on indirect signals: experimental prediction, design tasks, defensive acceleration, and adjacent domains.
