And what’s great about it is that it’s a positive sum game, you being a data dragon only ensures it’s easier for others (seeding and it becoming a trend).

That’s fair.

I fully agree that ML can help in niche ways but yeah I would just say we have another tool in the toolbox not that we are dead set on huge changes in the coming years.

Sigh, what’s the definition of milk?

Edit:

A whitish liquid containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals that is produced by the mammary glands of all mature female mammals after they have given birth and serves as nourishment for their young.

The milk of cows, goats, or other animals, used as food by humans.

Any of various potable liquids resembling milk, such as coconut milk or soymilk.

It mentions coconut milk specifically

IMO piracy and self hosting has great cost benefits.

Sure it costs money to buy a mini computer and a hard drive, but after, you can spend a long time building that library and it won’t cost you a dime.

And the computer and hard drive is more like an asset, you don’t really lose money when you buy it.

And it kind of pays you back, eventually you get a little tired of building your library but then you can use said library and integrate it into your lifestyle while you get a new obsession.

As someone who has historically not been a fan, details like this is the way to win me over.

That’s great to hear.

But genome and protein sequencing has been getting easier for the last few decades for a number of reasons. While it sounds like ML is contributing positively, idk if I would call this revolutionary.

Is there anything new the average person has access to today that they didn’t have before?

IMO revolutions are like: I have a computer in my pocket that has thousands of times more power than the best ones a few decades ago.

While I would love to see a revolution in medical science, I have yet to see it (maybe I’m just uninformed). We are getting close to designer babies but I would argue that’s more like social media than the internet in terms of benefits to society.

From the article:

Early warning systems also rely on rapid communication to the public, including mass alerts communicated by mobile phone, coordination by the relevant authorities across borders, clear advice, and advance evacuation plans and occasional alarm tests or drills.
