crows, CRISPR, and scaffolding

Monday, November 9, 2026

Aetius sent Huns to finish what I started.

1. Crows make visual decisions in 235 milliseconds — twice as fast as humans
2. One CRISPR dose cuts LDL for 3 years in primates
3. The housing crisis was always a policy choice, not a market failure
4. Robin Hanson: is intelligence one thing or many things?
5. A preventable newborn death — and a returning anti-vax trend that ERs aren’t ready for
6. Russia’s disposable saboteurs — recruited civilians, not spies
