Happening now outside of Plasmidsaurus HQ. Car fire in the foreground, sunken boats in the background.

What's the best option for speech to text on a Mac? I used to use ChatGPT speech-to-text button, but now it crashes when the audio is more than about 60 seconds long. The integrated Mac speech to text is too inaccurate.

Day one! ASGCT has been fantastic so far. Had a quick look around the massive expo (and already identified plasmidsaurus as my favourite booth (for the amazing swag/playing Jurassic Park 🦕🦖

Wooow, never expected this level of speed, especially on Saturday. plasmidsaurus

Synthetic biology could enable new types of programmable therapeutics. Our new preprint introduces synthetic protein circuits that selectively trigger cell death in Ras-mutant cancer cells, with interesting advantages compared to existing approaches. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📣 Coming soon to our plasmid viewer! You'll soon be able to see base-level alignments and feature labels—because the details matter.

Introducing Eleven v3 (alpha) - the most expressive Text to Speech model ever. Supporting 70+ languages, multi-speaker dialogue, and audio tags such as [excited], [sighs], [laughing], and [whispers]. Now in public alpha and 80% off in June.

Slowly but surely they are making a competent plasmid editor that lives in your browser. Bullish on the dinosaur.

This is exactly what happens inside our sequencing machines. 😌

Damn

California is a coastal state, with unlimited sea water and solar energy. Water scarcity is a manufactured crisis. For less than we already spend on legacy water infrastructure, we could 2x our supply.

ChatGPT is a game changer for exploring foreign cities. I can take a picture of almost anything and get the backstory.

You heard that right — get full bacterial genome sequencing in 1 day. 🤯 Starting at $90. Order now: hubs.ly/Q03sGJW50 P.S. We're at ASM! Stop by booth 1241 to chat with us about our new services.

Also true in biotech.

Was looking at an issue of Scientific American from 1958 and I'm obsessed with the ads

Can we use RNA to insert kilobases of DNA into the human genome, opening up a new way to engineer cells or treat disease? Excited to share our latest work turning a retrotransposon (a “jumping gene” with an RNA intermediate) from songbirds into a genome editing tool. 🧵 (1/7)

California should be the most agriculturally productive place on earth. We can make energy abundant and desalinate the ocean. Desal tech has advanced considerably, as has solar and nuclear. And the brine can be a feedstock for lithium, magnesium, and other critical minerals.

No part of California is more than 350 miles from the ocean, a limitless supply of water. Every time an official wastes their life advising water conservation, or you drive past 100 miles of broke, fallow farms near the I5, or a city burns to the ground, remember. Water
