Ah, yes, because who hasn't thought #biologists should be our go-to source for speeding up #Haskell compilation? 🤦‍♂️ Clearly, the solution to a complex algorithm is to just "borrow" from a field that studies life itself. Maybe next time we'll consult astrophysicists for our coffee brewing optimizations. ☕🚀

Flowers aren’t just pretty. They are powerful architects of life on Earth
Biologists say there’s more to your favourite flowers than just beauty. Their different colours, petal shapes and scents are the key adaptations that help plants reproduce and survive.

Are there any #biologists &/or #ecologists that can recommend their preferred desktop #Latex editor? I'm looking for software that can convert easily into #R. Anything colour-coded would be a plus. Thanks!

Meet the new #biologists treating #LLM like #aliens
By studying #largelanguagemodels as if they were living things instead of computer programs, scientists are discovering some of their secrets for the first time.
We now coexist with machines so vast and so complicated that nobody quite understands what they are, how they work, or what they can really do—not even the people who help build them “You can never really fully grasp it in a human brain.”
