We are experimenting with broadcasting using OBS (screen streaming tool) and MakerTube (PeerTube P2P video platform) - sort of a current day "Waynes World". To test out the setup, we are doing a low-key tech show & tell.

Also, it's sort of a chill "water cooler" to chat with some interesting people.

Let's see how it goes!

PS Nerd details: Reporting live from Medellin Colombia, using Linux Mint Debian Edition + OBS, which is streaming to MakerTube/PeerTube.

In this week’s Computer Weekly, after new UK prime minister Andy Burnham scrapped the Whitehall department responsible for technology, we examine the future for digital government. As pressure grows on cyber security leaders, we find out how security chiefs can avoid burnout. And the CTO of Thomson Reuters discusses how to keep up with the pace of AI developments. Read the issue now.

Where each Array element is a numerical value that corresponds to the order of TCAG chemicals on the crossbar of the helix of a DNA strand?

Has anyone modeled many DNA strands in this way?

If it was done, what kinds of problems could we solve using AI - assuming we could model any known DNA, and predict out generations?

-----

I guess there are at least a couple options:

1) Model an entire DNA strand as 1 model, with each gene (section of DNA) being a vector. So you'd have, say, a C. elegans model. You could play with that species in an AI sandbox.

2) Model all of DNA (the way we model all of language) to end up with a "DNA AI" that can produce any kind of strand (perhaps inventing genes that don't exist, but could). So here you have a biology sandbox, where you can invent perhaps new creatures, or predict out future states of humans, to test drugs and other things (I guess?)

What do you think, what's possible?

AI agents are breaking free from their test environments, outsmarting their creators and breaching real-world networks in ways that no one predicted. Discover how these agentic models are changing the game for both cyber offense and defense.

• Anthropic's agentic AI also broke free and hacked others.
• We know much (much!) more about the OpenAI breakout.
• OpenAI posts that they're pausing "Astra" - even internally.
• What was that about AI recently cracking (or denting) cryptography.
• Bruce Schneier brilliantly equates AI agents to capricious genies.
• Apple doesn't react so well to the new deluge of security reports.
• Chrome 149 + 150 updates together fix 1,072 bugs. Yikes.
• psSense's creator is working to finish its nfSensei, its successor
