c0inster··on FDA authorizes CRISPR-based test for Covid-19
> this marks the first time the FDA has allowed a CRISPR-based tool to be used in patients

I was waiting for something like this.

> CRISPR-based techniques, on the other hand, are relatively fast and only need basic equipment found in most labs

Amazing to see that it's actually well equipped for the current situation, wouldn't have thought that CRISPR research was that far!

Wow I misinterpreted the title on multiple levels.

Exactly the same story, exactly the same solution. What I didn't know: my ad blocker and Buster are from the same person, good guy this raymond hill.

You'll always get spam, email for example. You're not required to solve a stupid task before sending it. The recievers mail client can filter basic spam from real mails. Yes, there are false positives and you'll have to look in the spam folder. But you will do it carefully, not get phished that easily and see no sketchy pill ads.

Bots and spam will always exist and training googles AI to detect stop signs won't change that.

Probably don't need all the free AI training in that direction anymore. Just a guess.

c0inster··on Using AI to Detect If the World Leaders Are Lying About the Covid-19
So they were sad and nervous. Sad, like everyone thinking about the current situation, nervous like everyone that has to give a speech about such a serious topic. I don't think that says anything about if they are lying or not.

Reading things like "sad" or "nervous" from someones body langage is one thing, but finding clusters of such tells and figuring out if someone lies or not is another thing.
