Exoplanets are planets. Also, for clarification, biology is not defined as “the study of things produced exclusively by natural evolution.” Synthetic biology works with biological components and living systems (DNA, proteins, regulatory networks, cells and organisms). It differs from much traditional biology mainly in its constructive, engineering-oriented approach. Synthetic systems are often built precisely to test hypotheses about how natural biological systems function. Claiming it is not biology is wrong IMO.

Does anyone have good resources into a more practical approach toward building diffusion models? I found the book by Rashka for Building an LLM from Scratch really helpful in understanding a lot of concepts behind LLMs, and I am looking for a similar resource for diffusion models

This looks great! I am curious about "We expect to monetize in the future by building extra features that serve large companies with complex needs".

During the YC application process, was this enough to be accepted? I wonder how much emphasis they put in the business model in order to fund you. I wish you success!

Happy user of dstack.ai. The simplicity of just spinning up a machine with my required set of GPUs and memory, from my vendor of choice, and have an endpoint to easily access it via ssh and VSCode has been game changing for me.

I once had some trouble setting it up and the founder literally went on a zoom chat with me to help navigate through things. Couldnt recommend them enough!!

This is truly an amazing write-up, thank you!! I would love it if someone with experience in the bio lab scene (PCR machines, electrophoresis, western blot, pipettes, cell incubator, and so on) could write something similar.

The treatment works on the child without symptoms because in most cases neurological affections are irreversible. Since the child had not developed them, the therapy would essentially fix the body before it caused them.

In the case of the child who already shows neurological symptoms, the treatment can help stop the progression of the disease, but most likely not reverse the already existing damage. However, there are already treatments approved to help stop the progression of the disease, including enzyme replacement therapy (provide the enzyme in charge of degrading the sustrate through the bloodstream every so often).

Some would argue that if treatments with similar outcomes already exist and are approved, it could be unethical to test this experimental treatment on a patient (I disagree).

And they are nowhere near as liquid when it comes to employment as in the US. The trade off of not having employment at will is extremely slow hiring processes and a lot of difficulty when firing employees that do not perform well. All in all employment at Will is probably what makes Silicon Valley thrive. Otherwise nobody would dare to start a company.

Curious if this would work:

If you are in the US, try contacting google by every possible venue and keep a track / paper trail of your communications. If non of these methods work, then sue them in a small claims court. This is something for which you do not need a lawyer, and you can get up to $3000. They will probably take you seriously enough to try to solve it without going to court.

Hi there! Author of the post you mentioned. I have also been thinking a lot about this, and recently came up with the following tooling / workflow for the main website:

- Read Julian Shapiros's Landing Page guide. It contains a great structure and process for coming up with a landing page: https://www.julian.com/guide/growth/landing-pages

- Create a very basic mock-up of your landing page using Excalidraw: https://excalidraw.com/

- Once you have the right structure and copy, it is time to go into design and development. First, I would recommend you purchase SystemFlow: https://www.systemflow.co/. The guys behind it created a wonderful process for creating websites quickly using Figma + Webflow.

- Before diving into the design though, I would recommend you choose a good color palette for your website using https://coolors.co/

- You should also decide the kind of images you want for your page. If you want something quick, you can use: https://www.whoooa.rocks/ Otherwise, you can hire an illustrator from Fiverr or Upwork to make them for you based on your copy. If you would rather create simple product images, you can use Pixelmator Pro.

- Finally, choose the fonts for your website. I recommend you just go into another landing page you like and copy those fonts or similar if they are available on Google Fonts.

- Now is time to dive into Figma, using SystemFlow, to create your design. Make sure to watch the SystemFlow University's videos first. I also recommend the following plugins for Figma.

For icons, Hero Icons: https://heroicons.com/.

For background patterns (they really add a nice touch to designs): https://www.heropatterns.com/

- Once you have your design ready to go, publish it into Webflow (again, using SystemFlow).

This advice is mostly for your main website / landing pages. For the marketing micro-sites and blogs, I think https://www.audienceful.com/ (mentioned in the sales stack thread I posted) has a lot of potential, I requested access and hoping to hear back soon.

EDIT: You mention you are non-technical. I would still take the time to learn HTML + CSS properly to really get the most out of Webflow.

Thank you for the process first suggestion. Looked into MEDDPICC and looks quite interesting. Any other recommendations on resources to get started on a good sales process for someone without a sales background?
