No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If someone's injected with cancer cells, they develop cancer. Could at least part of the increase in cancer be to do with people getting other people's cancer cells inside their bodies?
2·1 month agocancer is in large part an old people disease, if you avoided dying of cholera you’re more likely to die of something else. also now there’s a lot of people who were exposed to carcinogens decades back, and we got better at treating pr preventing some other common causes of death like stroke or heart disease

7·2 months agowaaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside
Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.
They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.
Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.
look out for breathless boosters “warning” everyone that ai will kill us all and it’s definitely not used as a marketing strategy

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which path would the electrical current take?
24·2 months agoIt’s easier to see that this circuit is rather symmetric when you redraw it

Then with both switches closed blue wire (the one in the middle) should only carry small current. If both halves are exactly the same it should be zero
In general when circuit doesn’t include nonlinear components (semiconductors most commonly) you can sum two valid solutions and you’ll get another valid solution. Note that when one switch is closed, current in blue wire goes one way and when the other is closed, in opposite way

who is “we”? as of now, there’s still oil being extracted and fertilizer being produced, just a bit less of it. if you live in a western country you don’t have to worry too much about it, except higher prices of food and everything that gets transported. if you’re a subsistence farmer in a place like bangladesh then you’re to some degree fucked
