A story about Paul Conyngham, who used AI to create a personalized mRNA vaccine for his dog Rosie's cancer, highlights the bureaucratic red tape that hinders medical innovation, including lengthy and costly clinical trials. To accelerate medical progress, the author proposes reforms such as allowing researchers to choose among accredited IRBs, reducing manufacturing costs, and streamlining ...
The article discusses the limitations of using MCP (Model Configuration Protocol) for integrating APIs with AI agents due to context bloat and high token costs. A CLI (Command Line Interface) approach is proposed as a more efficient and secure alternative for progressive disclosure and structural safety.
The author argues that popular collaborative text editing algorithms, including Yjs, are not suitable for live-collab and offline cases due to their complexity and potential for data corruption. A simpler alternative, prosemirror-collab, is recommended for its ease of use and better performance, although it lacks true master-less peer-to-peer editing capabilities.
Corruption in democracies erodes trust more than in autocracies due to normative amplification and representative contagion. This results in a stronger association between corruption perceptions and lower generalized trust in democracies.
