Cool game. Harder for me. I have background in most of the undergrad and some grad molecular biology. Still, the hints didn't help much. The most useful hints were on function of the gene and cellular components. Also, I have been out of touch with gene names from the last few years. I tried searching using a gene's function but didn't work as much. At the end I got 81% close but far from the answer.

You could start with popular gene names.

You don't :( You look for alternatives. You get discriminated based on wealth

Open access paradox. As an author, I hate gold open access journals. My supervisor doesn't have money (~3000 CAD nowadays) to pay for publishing. He says he would rather pay for my or other grad students' summer salary

Each time I spent hours searching an appropriate journal for my research. As time goes on, I feel like research is only for very wealthy people.

To me LLMs are glorified google search. I use them like that.

Windows 11 rant:

My home mini pc is having Bluetooth issues from last 6-7 months after some update. I can't go back, tried every possible solutions. Best option: wait for them to fix it.

The issue: Sometimes if the Windows boot normally, Bluetooth won't turn on. I have to force restart to have it on. My guess is it's trying to optimize the power or something. I gave up.

My other laptop and work computer are still Windows 10, so some sanity left. I have installed kubuntu on another spare laptop and slowing moving towards linux entirely.

I had the same bluetooth issue on windows 11. It stopped working. I didn't even have the option to see the bluetooth setting. All my peripherals stopped working and I had to bring out the cables. Then one day after a month or so it was fixed.

Perhaps try a clean Win11 install using latest updates on an external drive, to see if that fixes your Bluetooth. Sometimes Windows borks itself and everything needs to be reinstalled.

Looks promising! I'll try it once I get home today.

I work with a large number of audio time series data (not words and all have subtle variation). It would be interesting to see how it compares to traditional statistical methods.

I also do occasional street photography. I'm opposite of your view. I don't ask for consent and take photos (even candids). People rarely have problems. If they have, they'll come and ask me not to include them in the frame.

Waiting for the Bayesian workflow book!

Somehow, tidyverse didn't click with me. I still use it sometimes. But now I primarily use base R and data.table

Trust the process of science not bad science

Sorry, but they clearly didn't say that.
