Want @nanopore data for benchmarking microbe related stuff? Check our collection of data for pure cultures, @ZymoResearch mocks and complex metagenomes ( github.com/Kirk3gaard/MicroB…). Basecalled reads with methylation is in @ENASequence. Eventually the pod5s might go there as well.

Decentralised inference here we all come …
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Seriously do it tho.
This is your wakeup call. Anthropic just took down Fable 5. It's over. Here's the thing tho: no company or government will EVER be able to take away your local models. There are Opus level models you can run right now on your home GPUs, and nobody can ever stop you from using them This is only the beginning of events like this. Day 1. More government overreach will happen. This will only keep happening more and more as models get closer to AGI Become sovereign. Buy your own compute. Before even that becomes illegal

Great to see you @kirk3gaard . Can't wait for you to experience the Tesla of molecular biology mace by @voltalabsinc for @nanopore LSK114.
Today my car drove me to work fully autonomously after a single tap on a screen and I got to discuss a technology for doing advanced molecular biology using an app with the @voltalabsinc team to dramatically scale our @nanopore sequencing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 The future is exciting 🚀🧬🎉

Why would FSD make this ridiculous move? 😡 You can’t park there mate! Oh wait, the car effortlessly moved for an emergency vehicle approaching from behind Well done FSD! 👏 @teslaeurope

Det her er stort! Den første tur i min egen selvkørende Tesla🚗 Det her er en dag, jeg længe har set frem til. Min egen Tesla kan nu køre af sig selv. På min første tur kørte bilen mig rundt i Århus’ myldretrafik i 30 min. Jeg rørte ikke rattet én gang. Når jeg i dag senere skal til Kbh fra Århus kører bilen hele vejen. Alle nyere Teslaer kan tilkøbe teknologien og få den med en software-opdatering. Med et knipseslag har vi nu selvkørende biler i alle byer i Danmark. Det er vildt!🇩🇰

Nobody could have predicted that turning pod5 file writing by default would lead to this...oh wait many of us did exactly that! @nanopore

Ai starts to do proper identity screening 🤣🤣🤣 wonder whether it will start confirming the users identity using camera, typing speed, word frequencies etc 🤣🤣🤣
I love being too dangerous for an AI to even talk to

perhaps Anthropic are overreacting by blocking fable usage for bio oh wait…
I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage entirely at home. As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done. I didn’t step foot in a lab once. Every step - from saliva collection, to running the sequencer - took place in a single room with a dining table kitchenette. Six weeks ago, I had never done wet lab biology before. I used an Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo - the only commercially available sequencing device portable enough to do 30x human genome sequencing at home. Biggest takeaway - I could build something that combined software, hardware, and molecular biology far faster than I thought was possible. I can name >100 specific instances where AI helped me solve a technical problem that would previously have blocked me because I lacked access to a domain expert. For example: how do I save my sequencing run when my DNA extraction yield is 4x lower than I need it to be, and I have this limited set of reagents to hand? To make this work, I had to navigate multiple disciplines: - writing software to monitor sequencing runs and orchestrate remote GPU infra for basecalling - learning executing 5 hour long molecular biology protocols - building a hardware device to quantify DNA concentration Apologies for the hyperbole, but I feel super lucky to be living in 2026. A few weeks ago I decided to sequence a human genome to 30x at home. Then I actually did it. And I did it really quickly.

I got the FSD Supervised upgrade in my Model X already few hours after ordering the subscription yesterday. Really smooth driving through Copenhagen so far. Here is a video of FSD navigating through the traffic this morning

“Færdselsstyrelsen har gennemgået omfattende teknisk dokumentation om FSD Supervised, herunder den dokumentation der ligger til grund for den hollandske, foreløbige godkendelse af systemet.
Efter en grundig gennemgang og vurdering af den tekniske dokumentation er Færdselsstyrelsen enig i RDW’s vurdering af, at systemet vil bidrage positivt til færdselssikkerheden, fordi det assisterer føreren under kørslen. 
Færdselsstyrelsen accepterer derfor den foreløbige typegodkendelse af FSD Supervised.” @teslaeurope @TSLA_inside_
