Boy I think this is misleading. Here's the title: Cancer’s “Master Switch” Blocked for Good in Landmark Study. They go on to say:

I studied c-Jun as a researcher, and this gene is linked to hematopoietic cytokines. Blocking it is one thing, but in doing so, a lot of very important cell functions in non-cancerous cells would be affected. They only killed cells, but did not test this in living organisms. I'd wait a bit before getting too excited. I'll give it a "sugoi" though.Using this approach, they have successfully blocked a key cancer-driving transcription factor known as cJun, marking a significant step forward in targeting previously untreatable cancer mechanisms.
UPS will eliminate 244 jobs in Portland. This is even more bad news for the city. Seems like every week, we read reports of more jobs lost, along with budget shortfalls and plans to raise taxes. Doom loop.

Tina Kotek should stay out of this and not be swayed by activists who want to shut down the OHSU Primate Center. Sometimes there is no substitute for primate research. Plus:

Barr-Gillepsie added that the research center’s closure would likely cost OHSU more than $100 million and eliminate more than 500 jobs.OHSU can't afford this, on top of everything else.
Canary in the coal mine. Valley Medical Center in Renton is letting go 101 staffers as a result of Medicaid cuts. Hospitals should not be so dependent on Medicaid. Medicaid should ideally be used infrequently, for a minority of people who are disabled or cannot otherwise get medical insurance. Now we have situations where 25% to 30% of people are on Medicaid. This is sign of a broken society, where increasingly more people are dependent on the socialist solution of using government to be their insurance company. The government was never intended to serve this function, and it shouldn't. I suspect other hospitals are feeling the pinch, too, and more will have to implement similar measures.

BuyOnceSoftware. Useful software you pay for once and own forever. Instead of paying for a subscription. I like this.

WSJ publishes the story of what happened last year when Sam Altman was fired. This happens in a lot of businesses, and you just don't hear about it.

Now Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can hide their private plane flight paths. In the world we live in today, this makes sense.

Why do LLMs hallucinate? Anthropic has some insights. And Anthropic has some tools that lets one peek into the internal layers of an LLM's thought process.
