      Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses the response of KRAS G12C-mutant cells to specific therapies, indicating a correlation between the variant and sensitivity to the drugs MRTX849/AMG510 and KPT9274. Oncogenic: The variant KRAS G12C is implicated in tumor development, as the passage describes its presence in cancer cell lines and their proliferation in response to treatment, suggesting a role in cancer progression.

      Gene→Variant (gene-first): 3845:G12C

      Genes: 3845

      Variants: G12C

    1. for - Yann Lecun - paper - Yann Lecun - AI - LLMs are dead - language is optional for reasoning - to paper - VL-JEPA: Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture for Vision-language - https://hyp.is/eSxi8OxGEfCF7QMFiWL9Fg/arxiv.org/abs/2512.10942

      Comment - That language and reasoning are separate is obvious. - If we look at the diversity of life and its ability to operationalize goal seeking behavior, that already tells you that - Michael Levin's research on goal-seeking behavior of organisms and the framework of multi-scale competency architecture validates Lecun's insight - Orders of magnitude fewer efficiency of Lecun's team's prototype compared to LLM also validates this

    1. the question is, why didn't that biochemical story get you to this discovery?

      for - quote - Michael Levin - what is a good story? - the question is: Why didn't that biochemical story get you to this (new) discovery? - adjacency - good models - predictive power - good story - a good model is a good language - new words frame the world in new ways, - it allows us to divide reality in different ways - and can lead us to look in places we otherwise might now - and that can lead to new observations

    1. With respect to the predictive text portion of ChatGPT, a good non-technical (non-mathematical) description of a related mathematical model is described in chapter 3 of:

    1. The application is powered by LaMDA, one of the latest generation of large language models. At its core, LaMDA is a simple machine — it's trained to predict the most likely next word given a textual prompt. But because the model is so large and has been trained on a massive amount of text, it's able to learn higher-level concepts.

      Is LaMDA really able to "learn higher-level concepts" or is it just a large, straight-forward information theoretic-based prediction engine?

    1. Art Poon. (2021, November 28). Our first https://filogeneti.ca/CoVizu update with B.1.1.529. As expected, number of mutations is well over molecular clock prediction (~13 diffs). Relatively low numbers of identical genomes implies large number of unsampled infections. We update every two days from GISAID. https://t.co/m8w2CjL1c0 [Tweet]. @art_poon. https://twitter.com/art_poon/status/1465001066194481162

    1. The plan should also include a discussion about any possible unintended consequences and steps your institution and its partners (such as third-party vendors) can take to mitigate them.

      Need to create a risk management plan associated with the use of predictive analytics. Talking as an organization about the risks is important - that way we can help keep each other responsible for using analytics in a responsible way.

    1. the use of data in scholarly research about student learning; the use of data in systems like the admissions process or predictive-analytics programs that colleges use to spot students who should be referred to an academic counselor; and the ways colleges should treat nontraditional transcript data, alternative credentials, and other forms of documentation about students’ activities, such as badges, that recognize them for nonacademic skills.

      Useful breakdown. Research, predictive models, and recognition are quite distinct from one another and the approaches to data that they imply are quite different. In a way, the “personalized learning” model at the core of the second topic is close to the Big Data attitude (collect all the things and sense will come through eventually) with corresponding ethical problems. Through projects vary greatly, research has a much more solid base in both ethics and epistemology than the kind of Big Data approach used by technocentric outlets. The part about recognition, though, opens the most interesting door. Microcredentials and badges are a part of a broader picture. The data shared in those cases need not be so comprehensive and learners have a lot of agency in the matter. In fact, when then-Ashoka Charles Tsai interviewed Mozilla executive director Mark Surman about badges, the message was quite clear: badges are a way to rethink education as a learner-driven “create your own path” adventure. The contrast between the three models reveals a lot. From the abstract world of research, to the top-down models of Minority Report-style predictive educating, all the way to a form of heutagogy. Lots to chew on.
