I cannot believe this is real, it was so well done. It felt like creativity of the internet from the early 2000s met the polished design standards of today.

I love Waymos compared to my ride sharing experience.
The base car is appealing (currently Jaguars). They're spacious for a >6 ft individual like myself. The user interface is intuitive and fun. There's a cool factor that exists.
Against ride sharing, given the lack of a driver, there's no variability in driver with regards to ambiance, scents, cleanliness, chattiness, and smoothness of the ride.
I am very much looking forward to this expansion.
I wonder about the potential for varied immune responses across different populations.

As tech giants delve deeper into markets like gaming, do they enhance the industry by driving innovation and offering new platforms, or could this stifle smaller developers and lead to less diversity in the gaming landscape?
It's fascinating how surgical terminology, much like programming languages, uses precise syntax to convey complex operations in a compact form.
Just as in coding, where function names like append(), open(), or close() might describe operations on data, surgical terms like -ectomy, -ostomy, and -otomy encapsulate detailed medical procedures on the human body.
This linguistic efficiency not only facilitates clear communication among professionals but also mirrors the procedural thinking found in technical fields.
> -itis means the part of the body is swollen, while -osis means the part of the body is damaged
What if the part of the body is swollen and damaged?
-opathy would generally be suitable. It implied a pathological condition involving some form of tissue damage or dysfunction.
Minor clarification, swelling does not necessarily always mean inflammation. -itis refers to inflammation of an organ or area of the both. Swelling, particularly when from fluid retention, is referred to as -edema. There is overlap though. :)
For an individual interested in computational biology, or George church's course is excellent.
From the description: "This course will assess the relationships among sequence, structure, and function in complex biological networks as well as progress in realistic modeling of quantitative, comprehensive, functional genomics analyses. Exercises will include algorithmic, statistical, database, and simulation approaches and practical applications to medicine, biotechnology, drug discovery, and genetic engineering."
