This is a truly startling paper. It shows that mRNA can perform regulatory functions *in addition to* its role in encoding a protein. In other words, the distinction between protein-coding RNA and noncoding regulatory RNA is fuzzy. /1 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Protein-coding transcripts are regarded as intermediates that mediate DNA-to-protein information flow, leaving their noncoding regulatory potential largely underappreciated. Genome-wide profiling of R...

(Thread) New Logan preprint 🥳 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...! We sketched all the metagenomes of Logan1.0 and released the sketches. These sketches allow quick content comparison with any/all metagenomes of Logan. Cool applications in the paper and hopefully many others we did not foresee yet 😀

La répression violente du mouvement lycéen est indigne, dangereuse et doit cesser. C'est irresponsable de prendre le risque de blesser des mineurs pour lever un blocage. Les lycées bloqués ne feront jamais perdre aux jeunes autant d'heure de cours que les classes sans profs qu'ils dénoncent.

Instead of crossing your fingers that the students will not use AI, e.g. for homework, why not give them directly a link to the solution you expect and tell them: "Here is the solution, try not to use it - but use it instead of genAI"?

Victor Epain @victorepain.cpesr.fr · 19/09/2026
Problem of AI is even when I am not using it, reading AI slop I don't understand convinces me I am actually the problem. Solution: you don't understand and it is not clear after reading twice each sentence -> AI slop (in the case of too much details written)

I approve of the general sentiment of the declaration, and endorsed it myself. Nevertheless, this declaration leaves in my mouth a bitter taste: it sounds too much as if the intellectual workers class was discovering with stupefaction what manual workers have argued about for two centuries now.

For a researcher working on "sociology of machines", it seems he does not respect the basic of academic ethics. After researchers falsifying figures and doing scientific racism, perhaps there is a place in @forbetterscience.bsky.social to talk about AI-bros doing pseudo-sociology.

Also, be careful, the hyperlinks are weird.
Hi,

You kick off a build, a training job, or a coding agent, and now you have to babysit the computer. I built shell.online to fix that.

Under 30 seconds to try, no account, no config:

curl -fsSL https://shell.online/install | sh
shell <anything>

shell claude, shell npm run dev, or plain shell. You get a link. Open it anywhere. That terminal is live, and you can type. The process stays on your machine, and the link dies when the task exits.

The terminal works well on mobile as well. Zoom is sometimes fucked.

Anyone with the link can type in it. That's the point. Hand a run to a teammate, or to yourself on the couch.

I'm not asking for money, there's nothing to buy. It's open source — the code is all there if you want to read it or see how it works:

https://github.com/TeoSlayer/shell.online

If a cold email doesn't inspire trust, you can also build it yourself:

brew tap teoslayer/shell-online https://github.com/TeoSlayer/shell.online
brew install shell-online

If you try it and it's useful, hit reply. And if it earns a spot in your workflow, a star on GitHub would genuinely mean a lot.

— Teodor

PS: got your email from apollo, i am sorry if this feels intrusive, in this day and age it's impossible to capture attention, i thought email might be efficient. i will respect any requests for no contact, and if domains get burned in time, that is just the will of the people. still, thank you for offering me a bit of your time. That's more than i would ever be able to ask for.

There is a text written by peers at the University of Ghent. Please sign it if you have received a copy. Key point: academic freedom is not absolute. Academic freedom is based on academic ethics, of which social responsibility is inherent. Be responsible by fighting scientific racism and eugenics.
