Huge congrats to AI at Meta on the Llama 3.1 release! Few notes: Today, with the 405B model release, is the first time that a frontier-capability LLM is available to everyone to work with and build on. The model appears to be GPT-4 / Claude 3.5 Sonnet grade and the weights are

Congrats to all and the brilliant Victora Lab! 🎉

Please give us your thoughts! We need to improve the situation for early career investigators to nurture the next generation of scientists NIAID News

In a new study, Dowling and Levy expand on this concept, using mRNAs encoding a single cytokine. Kudos to the authors on this excellent study. So much more to learn as we expand beyond the antigen-only use of mRNA-LNP vaccination approaches. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Dennis Ritchie, the man who invented C, co-created Unix, and is largely regarded as effectively influencing every software system we use on a daily basis. His death was largely ignored, overshadowed by Steve Jobs' death, one week before.

So, I coded a class in Python to do a heavy processing of a large text corpus. I made sure it works as expected. Then I asked Claude to rewrite my class in C (the language I don't know) and explain how to run it. Result: Python processing time: 63 minutes. C processing time: 2.3

We are also recruiting for an excellent student to join for the PhD program at University of Melbourne in my group- applications are open for 2025 - anticipated for end of October closing Would be great to have you join our growing group!

Well deserved, Matt! Great experience for me as an advisor and proud to see your wonderful development as a scientist and as a human being.

☺️ thanks for the kind words, Matt. It is a privilege to see and help someone grow, so thanks for the opportunity. I am glad I didn’t mess up too much :)

The bottom line for mathematicians is that the architecture has to be right. In all the mathematics that I did, the essential point was to find the right architecture. It's like building a bridge. Once the main lines of the structure are right, then the details miraculously fit.

I'm getting these funny death threats from Iranian bots, which are not really scary (and in funny Hebrew). If they really wanted to scare me they should have sent an email titled: "Cell Editorial Decision CELL-D-24-02485"
