I thought I was crazy until I found Richard Feynman.
Feynman was not only among the most brilliant people on earth, but he transmitted something I've never seen in others.
Thread with some lessons from his peculiar way of being:

This is one of the most simple and profound graduation speeches.
This 2002 Mr Rodgers speech is a top 10 and it was share to me by @prolificinvent and I just encoded it.
It is my prayer it changes lives into eternity.
This will be in YOUR AI.

Okay, I lied about my next thread being API infrastructure for EMRs, but that’s because I stumbled onto something really weird that I wanted to cover first. I saw this tweet (teapawt.org/dvasishtha/status/1552…) about changes to a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) formulary, and I got curious

We need to get back on the Henry Adams Curve. That means recognizing that clean energy production is (a) possible and (b) morally good.
The economy has been virtual for decades in large part *because* the US establishment limited nuclear energy.

Replying to @PacBio
@PacBio HiFi is great for calling SNPs and small-INDELs. Read us applying @GoogleHealth's DeepVariant and @Sentieon's DNAscope. Impressive to see these #MachineLearning methods help detect genetic variants, & how much #longread sequencing tech advances. link.medium.com/R3gBTFgX2lb
Terrance retweeted
Happy to see these updated benchmark results!
DNAscope will output some non-pass variant candidates with a FILTER field set. @holtjma's earlier benchmark considered all variants, causing DNAscope to have a high recall but low precision. The new results are more balanced.
Benchmark updates for today (2021-12-17) containing:
1) PASS-only filtered DNAscope for short-reads (thanks @dofreed for diagnosing the issue)
2) Updated minimap2 to v2.23

This is a good primer on variant calling in long-read space and generally reflects our experience with benchmarking both DeepVariant and DNAscope on PB-HiFi. My one (personal) deviation would be that generally DNAscope has been *much* easier to run out-of-the-box.

A lot of birds are flying over Colorado tonight. You're urged to keep the lights low/off to help them make their passage. #9NEWS teapawt.org/AudubonRockies/status/…
Lights out, Colorado! 12 million birds will be flying over the state tonight and tomorrow night, and we can help them by reducing light pollution. Birds are safer when you turn off or shield your outdoor lights. Learn more from #LightsOutColorado. buff.ly/3EnWzvF

BREAKING: Powerful vigil just ended at my apartment on 700th day of house arrest to honor the 2,000 Ecuadorians who have died from Chevron's pollution.
Pictured are Amazon leader Lino Wamputsrik, artivist Giada, actor @SusanSarandon, and rock legend @RogerWaters. So grateful.
