Genome sequencing technology provides thousands of new plant genomes annually. In agriculture, researchers merge this genomic information with observational data (measuring various plant traits) to identify correlations between genetic variants and crop traits like seed count, resistance to fungal infections, fruit color, or flavor. However, the grasp of how genetic variation influences gene activity at the molecular level is quite limited. This gap in knowledge hinders the breeding of "smart crops" with enhanced quality and reduced negative environmental impact achieved by combination of specific gene variants of known function. Researchers from the IPK Leibniz Institute and Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZ) have made a significant breakthrough to tackle this challenge. Led by Dr. Jedrzej Jakub Szymanski, the international research team trained interpretable deep learning models, a subset of AI algorithms, on a vast dataset of genomic information from various plant species. "These models not only were able to accurately predict gene activity from sequences but also pinpoint which sequence parts contribute to these predictions," explains the head of IPK's research group "Network Analysis and Modeling." The AI technology which the researchers applied is akin to that used in computer vision, which involves recognizing facial features in images and inferring emotions.

How do you read a scroll you can’t open?

With lasers!

In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupts and buries the library of the Villa of the Papyri in hot mud and ash

The scrolls are carbonized by the heat of the volcanic debris. But they are also preserved. For centuries, as virtually every ancient text exposed to the air decays and disappears, the library of the Villa of the Papyri waits underground, intact

Then, in 1750, our story continues:

While digging a well, an Italian farm worker encounters a marble pavement. Excavations unearth beautiful statues and frescoes – and hundreds of scrolls. Carbonized and ashen, they are extremely fragile. But the temptation to open them is great; if read, they would more than double the corpus of literature we have from antiquity.

Early attempts to open the scrolls unfortunately destroy many of them. A few are painstakingly unrolled by an Italian monk over several decades, and they are found to contain philosophical texts written in Greek. More than six hundred remain unopened and unreadable.

Using X-ray tomography and computer vision, a team led by Dr. Brent Seales at the University of Kentucky reads the En-Gedi scroll without opening it. Discovered in the Dead Sea region of Israel, the scroll is found to contain text from the book of Leviticus.

This achievement shows that a carbonized scroll can be digitally unrolled and read without physically opening it.

But the Herculaneum Papyri prove more challenging: unlike the denser inks used in the En-Gedi scroll, the Herculaneum ink is carbon-based, affording no X-ray contrast against the underlying carbon-based papyrus.

To get X-rays at the highest possible resolution, the team uses a particle accelerator to scan two full scrolls and several fragments. At 4-8µm resolution, with 16 bits of density data per voxel, they believe machine learning models can pick up subtle surface patterns in the papyrus that indicate the presence of carbon-based ink

In early 2023 Dr. Seales’s lab achieves a breakthrough: their machine learning model successfully recognizes ink from the X-ray scans, demonstrating that it is possible to apply virtual unwrapping to the Herculaneum scrolls using the scans obtained in 2019, and even uncovering some characters in hidden layers of papyrus

On October 12th: the first words have been officially discovered in the unopened Herculaneum scroll! The computer scientists won 40,000 dollars for their work and have given hope that the 700,000 grand prize is within reach: to read an entire unwrapped scroll!

The grand prize: first team to read a scroll by December 31, 2023

Choosing a career is like a rollercoaster.

Initially set on a childhood dream, my teenage years led me to pursue a goal similar but not identical. Post-college entrance exams, I opted for engineering and focused on computer science. Little did I know, specialization choices awaited me, and intrigued by robotics, I delved into challenging courses on computer vision, robotics and machine learning.

Before graduation I secured a job at my dream company, but I soon realized it didn't align with my passion. But what was my passion? Opting for a master's degree, I struggled to find my true calling. Juggling full-time work and studies, I extended my master's by a year, changing jobs twice but finding no satisfaction.

Despite applying for jobs in my desired field during my master's, rejections left me disheartened. Witnessing colleagues landing dream jobs prompted another change of heart. Also I'm not in my mid-twenties, I had to do something quickly.

At a company party I was not considering to attend, I discovered a "hidden" team working on something truly meaningful. Fueled by newfound courage, I embarked on a journey to change my current trajectory before completing my master's.

In my ongoing journey, I've gained some valuable lessons:

Progress is evident; I'm closer to my goals than yesterday.

Uncertainty about my ideal career persists, and that's okay.

I've learned that I can always change course if I dislike something.

Simply doing something else won't eliminate the source of my misery; change is essential.

The network of support and connections is crucial in navigating these changes.

So I earned my master's degree, shifted to a field I'm passionate about and find meaningful. I'm able to wake up energized, even contemplating a PhD. And although, I'm still uncertain if it's a lifelong commitment, but I have the time to explore and make that decision.

Explanatory & Comprehensive Realism: A perspective on reality and human potential

Understanding David Deutsch's worldview requires delving into the intricate interplay between science and philosophy that characterizes his work.

At the heart of Deutsch's philosophy is a robust epistemology influenced by Karl Popper. Deutsch champions the idea that knowledge is not static or absolute but is instead a dynamic process of conjecture and refutation. He posits that all problems are soluble, given the right knowledge, and that the growth of knowledge is potentially infinite. This perspective is crucial in understanding how humans can address and solve problems, including those that seem insurmountable, like disease, poverty, and even mortality. Deutsch's emphasis on "hard-to-vary" explanations highlights the importance of theories that withstand rigorous testing and criticism. These explanations are not only central to scientific progress but also to practical and moral reasoning. By applying this epistemological framework, Deutsch argues that we can continually improve our understanding of the world, leading to better decision-making and ethical considerations. Deutsch's support for the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is a testament to his belief in the vastness of reality. According to this interpretation, every quantum event spawns multiple parallel universes, each representing a different outcome. This view challenges the traditional notion of a singular, deterministic universe and opens up a realm of infinite possibilities. The multiverse concept aligns with Deutsch's broader thesis of infinite progress. It suggests that the universe is not limited by a single trajectory but is instead a tapestry of countless potential realities. This perspective not only influences his understanding of physics but also informs his views on human creativity and the potential for innovation. Deutsch's integration of evolutionary theory into his worldview underscores the importance of adaptation and complexity in the development of knowledge. By drawing on Richard Dawkins' ideas about replicators and memes, Deutsch explains how cultural and intellectual evolution parallels biological evolution. Memes, like genes, are subject to variation and selection, leading to the evolution of ideas and technologies. Computation plays a crucial role in Deutsch's framework, as it represents the ability to simulate and understand complex systems. He views the universe itself as a computational entity, where transformations are governed by information and algorithms. This perspective suggests that by understanding the principles of computation, humans can harness the power of technology to create and transform reality. The concept of the universal constructor is a cornerstone of Deutsch's constructor theory. A universal constructor is a hypothetical machine capable of performing any physically possible transformation. While humans are not yet universal constructors, Deutsch envisions a future where technological advancements could bring us closer to this ideal. This idea reflects his optimism about human potential and the transformative power of knowledge. Deutsch believes that, through creativity and innovation, humans can overcome current limitations and achieve unprecedented progress. This vision aligns with his rejection of "deathism"—the acceptance of death as inevitable—and his advocacy for scientific research aimed at extending human life. Deutsch's ideas, while bold and imaginative, have sparked debate and criticism. Some critics argue that his application of scientific concepts to areas like aesthetics and moral philosophy is less convincing. They question whether the principles of physics and computation can fully account for the complexities of human experience and ethical decision-making.

David Deutsch's worldview offers a vision of the future, grounded in the potential for infinite progress through knowledge creation. By emphasizing the importance of explanations, creativity, and the integration of diverse scientific and philosophical domains, his ideas provide a framework for addressing contemporary challenges and unlocking human potential. As societies continue to navigate an increasingly complex world, Deutsch's perspective serves as a reminder of the transformative power of knowledge and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

Advice to Work on Yourself ⚽️ in July 2023: Capricorn

3 Pentacles - The Tower - Ace of Cups

Regarding: The Fool

This is a beautiful reading, but you may have a hard time seeing it that way with Tortoise here. There are many layers to this Tower in your life, and you may not see it as positive, initially. Spirit is just giving you validation that it is. This is about a love relationship, or one that is coming in…The Tower can be anything. Work possibly. You’re having the rug pulled out from under your feet, but you have support from the people around you to help you back up, all is not totally lost. And whatever this Tower is, a sudden unexpected ending or shocking news/an event of some kind, it is for your highest good with The Sun. You’re being removed from path A because path B is going to make you a heck of a lot happier, but you don’t see that just yet.

You’re still clinging very tightly to old ways, old habits and beliefs. It’s like you’re going along with what others want you to do, and you agree, but also “they’re not taking me alive!” applies to you with some sort of response. Over something that could be silly…to other people. Like clinging to an old outdated appliance when you have a new one, it’s like the things you get defensive over are just…why? Is this useful to you? It’s more about control and feeling that you don’t have any. Spirit wants you to take 50 steps back and try to see the bigger picture, because whatever this is, it’s going to make you very happy. Probably love. Or love is encouraging you in regards to your work. You have supportive people around you that want you to succeed, and a possible soulmate by your side as well. There is something available to you that is the chance you’ve always dreamed of. Could be anything, travel, a job, a lover, but whatever it is, it’s something you feel like you’ve *missed out on* before. An opportunity that just passed you by, or you let it pass you by before, is now available for you to grab, and the advice of this whole reading is saying first, get your head on straight, and then GRAB IT 🎉

Animal Oracle: Tortoise 🐢

“You’re too fragmented, so do whatever it takes to get grounded.”

When you’re feeling pressure from any number of fronts - pulled this way and that by the demands of modern life - it’s very easy to succumb to a false sense of urgency, feel out of balance and fragmented, and be in a constant state of tension. You can become forgetful and have difficulty sleeping. You may even attempt to stabilize and center yourself by resorting to the use of addictive substances or activities, hoping that they’ll help you feel more at home in your own skin. Meanwhile, your mind rushes ahead from one thing to the next, while your body tries to play catch-up. The technological web consisting of computers, the Internet, cell phones, television - plus the noises all around - creates a constant assault on your senses. Exhausting, isn’t it?

First, recognize that most things that you treat as emergencies or crises are merely inconveniences. Then, slow down! Move slower than you’re accustomed to, practice breathing slower and deeper every opportunity you get. This in itself helps you align with your internal rhythms, rather than being in a state of continuous reactivity to outside forces. Putting your bare feet on the ground allows you to truly experience your solid connection to the Earth. When you do, notice the difference in how you feel, and see if your mind isn’t at least a bit calmer. It may be challenging at times to do any of this, but it can be done. It just takes your clear intention & willingness.

Artist Oracle: You have two

CARAVAGGIO

- Try to keep violence metaphorical.

- Adjust your eyes to darkness.

- A head on the shoulders is worth two in the hand.

EDVARD MUNCH

- A composed soul is not necessarily a calm one.

- Scream into a canvas, not a pillow.

- Ask anxiety to pose for you.

Advice:

- Create a Career Vision

- Learn About Emotional Intelligence

Charms:

Dead Tree 🥀 on Caravaggio is like a “kill or be killed” mentality that has no use for you anymore. You could be seeing things from a darker perspective than is necessary, based on past experiences, worries, trauma, what have you. But this charm shows it’s dead & done, whatever it is, you don’t have to bring this energy into what’s new in your life, and you shouldn’t.

Angel Wing 👼 on The Lovers definitely talks about a person, they’re a soulmate, this relationship is divinely guided, and also, you can’t lose anything that’s meant for you. You can delay it, or push it away sure, but what’s meant for you is yours alone and you don’t have to worry about it disappearing or “missing your chance”. This is your person, your job, your opportunity, whatever. Either a lover is your opportunity, or they’re working with you every step of the way. For those that are single, the message is that your love life is being divinely guided in the way it needs to go, any ins or outs you’ve dealt with were supposed to happen, and you can relax.

Star ⭐️ on Ace of Pentacles is a real chance at your deepest hopes and dreams coming true. It’s also healing, whatever change got pushed aside or left behind, possibly overlooked in the past, whether literally this thing or something else that reminds you of it, you’ll be healing any lingering regrets you feel over letting that go. Ace of Pentacles is the best Ace, it’s a seed, and if you plant & nurture it, help it to grow, it *can* become 10 Pentacles. You can’t get a better prediction than everything you want 😊
