And I guess at the time infusing compression garments with caffeine was a thing? It was supposed to make you lose weight or Idek it was all a scam. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

I love when my brain decides that eggs taste like egg and are therefore morally and gastronomically unacceptable. Had to happen on a fresh carton, too.

I'm so lucky to have multiple people giving me detailed grant feedback! But I think I need to add a disclaimer about my 10+ yrs of experience publishing short stories before I was a PI. I'm used to evisceration of every word choice. Editing is love! I want to see red dripping from the page! In short

These are an amazing form of science communication! Torn between Whooping Cough or Rabies as my favorite. Wouldn't it be great if they put out a series of one-shot mangas for each disease describing their infection lifecycle?

Second, what LLMs do is make papier-mâché of their input. So you could put in the best, most carefully curated sources in the world and what would come out would still be some kind of slurry. >>
