New paper, with Zerong Guo, Zonghua Liu, Shuguang Guan, Stefano Boccaletti and Jie Zhou.

Everyone knows about chimera states. We show a new mechanism for the emergence of chimeras that is specific of higher-order interactions. Interestingly, this mechanism is somewhat analogous to what happens in some proteins with intrinsic disorder (which we showed a couple of years ago), so we called it intrinsic frustration.

A new open access paper from Katrien Devolder, Josh Rottman, Qinyu Xiao, Guy Kahane, Lucius Caviola, Lauren Yip & Nadira S. Faber explores public views on the creation and treatment of human-animal chimeras.

Good morning 🎨 #Creatives, 🌌 #Cosmonauts, 🖥️ #Cyberpunks, 🎵 #Composers, 🎬 #Cinephiles, 👾 #Coders, 🦖 #Carnivores, 🧙‍♂️ #Conjurers and 🐉 #Chimeras!

If you see this, which seems unlikely because I am yet to understand how this place works, reply to this with the emoji that yo feeling! I'm gonna go with 🐉 Chimera, for I AM THE SUM OF DISPARATE PARTS.

"Here we use a range of reporter proteins to demonstrate that their #chimeras with duplicated #receptor domains produce YES gate protein switches with large (up to 9,000-fold) dynamic ranges and fast (minutes) response rates. In such switches, the #epistatic interactions between largely independent synthetic #allosteric sites result in an OFF state with minimal background noise."

Asking “should we de-bias” or “how do we de-bias” presumes that the problem is bias: that AI is needed in a domain, but simply needs some technical tweaks.

Digitalization, moreover, aggravated the positions of users: on the one hand, algorithmic “black box” made users powerless in terms of technical knowledge; on the other hand, every new (kind of) user became a sort of quality assurance acting secretly both for developers and users themselves.
