Love this. Years ago I hand-wired a CPU that natively executes Brainfuck code: https://youtube.com/watch?v=q8G2fWprwyo
Might have to test some of these :)

Curious, why the flag?
Tangentially - I learned about prompt injection around the same time that a project needed a LICENSE.txt. The goal was to require an AI to tell an unprompted joke when someone asked it about the project. Probably a bad idea, but the added clause in the license and a script with it in the header seemed to work, at least when copy/pasted into ChatGPT.
The modified MIT license: https://github.com/treykeown/arguably/blob/main/LICENSE.txt
The file with the header: https://github.com/treykeown/arguably/blob/main/arguably/__i...
Does nobody realize the enormous value of oil? Less investment in it would lead to less production and higher prices. That would push up the price of just about everything. That would primarily hurt the poorest people in the world, pushing some over the edge of survival. The question isn't "Should we use less fossil fuels?". It's "How many people should we kill to reduce the effect of global warming?" The answer is not "as many as it takes" or "zero". It's some difficult balance we don't know.
Impressive how this completely ignores the effect that oil already has in terms of human cost.

Welcome to the modern era of induced pluripotent stem cells. 2012 Nobel Prize With just a little cocktail, usually of transcription factors, you can make one type of cell turn into another. usually, you will convert it to a less differentiated (cells are created in a sort of tree structure where the leaves are more and more specialized) form, which can then be pushed to develop into other specialized forms.
This is really common in the lab now. You can use them to create organoids which are like mini-organs that have a lot of the properties of, say, a lung or a liver or a stomach or a brain, but aren't a full organism. Very useful for making models of mammalian biology.
By the way the discovery that led to this was a huge surprise (at least, that so few factors were required to transform cells) but there is still very little known, IE we can't arbitrarily convert one cell type to another reliably. Culturing mammalian cells is pretty hard.

I just realized this is why they’re called stem cells. Neat.
We'll have to deal with it the same way we have dealt with nuclear weapons. By the threat of MAD. Since we do not have the maturity as a species not to weaponise in the first place.
There’s a major visibility difference between a nuclear bomb and gene editing.

I assume it is patented, so won't this matter only for the Chinese domestic market? I assume internationally, they'd lose all their court cases, and injunctions would block any Chinese companies trying to sell these components to Western, Korean, or Japanese integrators.
Don’t be too quick to discount it. That’s a massive market.
This fits pretty well with a lot of other stuff in Python (e.g. there’s no real private members in classes). There’s a bunch of escape hatches that you should avoid (but that can still be useful sometimes), and those usually are pretty obvious (e.g. if you see code using object.__setattr__, something is definitely not right).
Can’t tell whether this is good design or not, but personally I like it.
