White House seeks input on tightening rules for risky pathogen research

recommended expanding the reviews beyond 15 “select agents” to cover proposals to study any human, animal, or plant pathogen in seven types of experiments. One scientist has called this “a potential for disaster” that would require reviews of routine, relatively low-risk studies, such as certain experiments on cold viruses and viruses modified to fight cancer.

ecohealthalliance.org/2023/03/ however it does not help to increase if Peter Daszak blocks you because of simple questions about research in (as early as in 2020...)

3. GUI application pulls on the end of the stream. The image gets pulled through the image-processing/NN pipeline. The image coming out is fully-processed, with all annotation lists in-tow. (Lazy!!)

4. Annotations use Visitor Pattern ( ) for scaling, accumulating, and drawing. GUI uses visitors to update images for display.

5. Pipeline can be easily changed for testing various configs. (Extensible!!)

6. Multi-threaded GUI is fast! (100 FPS!!)

(2/2)

And that's why @ RobertKennedyJr told @ jimmy_dore that dr. anthony fauci has been the 'American Czar of Bioweapons' since 2002.

State design pattern is my new favorite for the next couple of weeks, just saying... ✌️

I'm tired of the control naming for design pattern classes.

From now on:

It's not an XyzFactory with a Create method; it's an XyzBakery with a Bake method.

It's not a FooBuilder with a Build method; it's a FooFarmer with a Harvest method

Considering the concern about molnupiravir, perhaps Laurie Garrett was right 8 years ago.

The fact that some theoretical potential to create a novel threat exists is not the only or even the most important factor in assessing the risk that the postulated novel threat will be created. Focusing attention primarily on what "could" happen skews the assessment and leads to being more receptive to invalid assumptions (e.g., "a high schooler could do this in their garage" applies to things like making E. coli glow, but not to advanced virology).

TWiV 981: Tastes like chikungunya

Great TWiV covers the regulations surrounding dual use / gain-of-function research. I was very involved in the IC's discussion of these issues since the mid-2000s. Over time I developed exactly the same thoughts as the TWiV team about excessive alarmism and a vocal minority pushing to essentially ban all work. I found the same in certain IC agencies which eagerly made hay out of potential threats.
