JCVI-syn3A, a synthetic cell with 493 genes (452 protein-coding; 41 RNA), is the simplest free living organism known. ~80% of the protein-coding genes are functionally annotated, but we still don’t know what the other 20% do (except that removing any of them makes it unviable). There’s also a whole-cell kinetic model for ~98% of the enzymatic reactions in the cell.

This is the real frontier of artificial life, not masses of linear algebra over a text model…

"The season of the Smoke Moon drifts from Tiliard’s roots upward. It rises from the shores of the Catoptric, the pipework of rhizomes and limestone where falling pebbles spark like flint in the reeds. Green witch-flames burp to life on the water’s surface, both guideposts and hazards to passing riverboats. A blanket of black cloud rolls in from the fields as farmers light the harvest’s detritus."

other "tech nerds': oh this new model is so cool, it gives such great results!

yesterday a fellow ex tech worker came up to me at the cafe while i was working on ryudov2 and we started chatting, and we shared this kind of feeling that you have to identify oppression in your life directly and be open enough to the risks to say "fuck no"

i had the additional observation that as someone who had a meteoric rise in my career, transitioned, and then went into poverty while the world falls apart around me, i have a very different relationship to risk, truth, and fulfillment than most, and for example working at the co op i see people of all ages just accepting the oppression of these low wages and gruelling hours while management gets a living wage and plenty of time off and nobody even THINKS to hold the board accountable- i suggested a strike one time and they thought i was joking...

here's a report I wrote in which I rant about my time at a transgender activism conference while slowly losing my mind

so status update:

• throwing down for pretty important work on g wagon's brakes (last piece of work she needs before she's ready for a full travel season)
• clearing out the house to move out
• hanging on at the co op for as long as i can- best hours adjustment i can get is 4 days a week and not instantly, so its just a tipping point type thing now where im holding out till i feel i can safely quit (and i was going to leave for the west coast to make some important visits happen in october anyway)
• with the move, time theft and exhaustion my art and dev work is slow but never stopped, i have some exciting stuff in the pipeline on all 3 fronts (software, visual, and dj stuff)
