The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... and github github.com/pachterlab/k...

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
Awesome! I may try to get vault access this year, so I'll look out for it!
Any chance it'll be recorded / slides shared? 😅 I can't make it to GDC this year 😢
Final draft of the 'Preservation is Profit' GDC presentation is done!
For those attending, I added some treats pulled straight from the archives throughout the slide deck. I wonder if you can recognize the games 👀
I have family in Iran who are worried they're going to be killed. Pete Hegseth, and everyone else responsible in the murder of Iranian civilians, are war criminal pieces of shit who need to stand trial and be prosecuted for their war crimes.
Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

For me, I'm super tempted by the dual-screen ones for DS / 3DS emulation. I have a 2DS, but emulating games on a larger + higher-resolution OLED screen with higher internal resolution is enticing. But I don't have enough time to play them to justify it right now 😔

There's a common misconception that zoonotic viruses require significant adaptation to jump from animals to cause human epidemics.
Not so 👇.
Further, we see clear signs of 1977 flu experiencing cell passage, prior to epidemic.
SARS-CoV-2? Business as usual.

Ask me for help converting some or all of your driving to transit in San Diego. If I’m unable to give you a good answer, I will suggest actions you can take to oppose Newsom’s and the legislature’s suicidal insistence on car dependency.
Oof yikes! I wonder what goes through people's minds to not realize how condescending comments like that are 😬
LOL I fortunately haven't gotten that one yet (at least not that I remember) 😂

Kristi Noem will go down as the most shamelessly incompetent and cruel Homeland Security Secretary in U.S. history.
Firing her is not enough. NOEM, GREG BOVINO, and STEPHEN MILLER all must be held accountable for terrorizing and endangering the American people.
+1 for Bazzite if you're interested in SteamOS
Ubuntu is a pretty standard Linux distro as well. Linux Mint is great as well (it's based on Ubuntu and Debian: Ubuntu is itself based on Debian)
