Biologist explains DNA | Nick Lane and Lex Fridman

[@anewman]

Hell of a clip. the anology Lex put forward was literally *chefs kiss*

[@rickhaass1133]

One of the best clips I have seen - really like the guest - thanks for facilitating.

[@neanderthalsnavel7411]

I agree with Lex. If we can get molecular biologists to look at their work like a programmer who is debugging, they can cure cancer. That's why billg is so interested.

[@bigshoots1181]

if healthcare goes free market we will have cures but pharma is using the government to stop alternative treatments and such from happening and coming in like stem cells that's why you have to go to this world countries for certain stem cell treatments

[@therealruski3906]

Thanks for the clips lex, nick, and clip guy/gal

Lex's favorite word lately = Propagate

[@Smithwitch4]

Lol

[@carrod9494]

Haha maybe it’s a *hint hint*

[@henkbotha7805]

The word often comes up in an AI context (i.e. back propagation), so I'd assume that's where the connection is made. 😅

„Human genome is a mess, but we need the mess to function.” So we basically exist because of the equivalent of all that excel 97 files that our modern world relies on

[@Joseph-yw6rs]

I just imagine an old school C developer listening to Lex say Javascript (presumably Node) is taking over the backend programming. LOL

Well, I regret getting the mRNA vaccine . Rip

[@killercuddles7051]

Good luck out there.

[@Livinggud]

Love the clip

[@korpse6rinder]

The answer is always found in the last place you look. Once you have it, you stop looking. Maybe life started similarly. It found a not perfect answer and ran with it. Java ran life forms.

[@ccdj35]

With enough computational power it may be possible to simulate other possible replacements of dna.

[@darylbenson9682]

This is a simulation calculating how well this version operates.

[@ccdj35]

@@darylbenson9682 maybe it is.

Talk about the quadruple helix DNA structure found in the human body.

[@timmoteus]

Don't assume that what seems a mess and an accident to your small mind isn't actually a phenomenon several orders of magnitude beyond your mediocre understanding.

[@tylercriss6435]

Then provide tangible evidence for such a bold claim :)

[@LazyEinstein]

@TiMMoTEuS Wut?

[@killercuddles7051]

Love to all you wild freaky people. And Lex.

[@geoblk3000]

JavaScript wasn't the firs languaget in the browser, before that it was VBScript, before that it was Java applets. Also, JavaScript today is nothing like JavaScript back in the early 2000s you could say it's a totally new programming language, re-invented countless times. Is it better today? I don't know... all I know is I liked VBScript much much better, but it was Microsoft and they messed it up otherwise front-end would be running on VBScript today.

So easy

Lex just sucks at seeing the beauty in javascript especially with V8 and ES6 ... the speed of dev too

[@jbheselyoutubization]

I enjoy javascript very much ( I know Python, C, Lisp, Assembler too). But the argument of Lex was, that there first was a crappy language and now it is getting better and better, because so many people put effort in it. The results are for example V8 and ES6.
