I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all. The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field. If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use. This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live. Some of the interesting pages: Treatments: onco.cc/drugs A gallery of the molecules being used onco.cc/molecules/ And targets: onco.cc/targets/ The technologies in oncology: onco.cc/technologies/ 1100 ideas for helping oncology: onco.cc/ideas/ Bottlenecks on oncology: onco.cc/bottlenecks/ Open questions (LETS GO RESEARCH PEOPLE) onco.cc/open-questions/ Startup requests (LETS GO STARTUP PEOPLE) onco.cc/startup-requests/ Mechanics of cancer: onco.cc/mechanics Battlefronts: onco.cc/fronts/ Isotope supply: onco.cc/isotopes Key papers: onco.cc/key-papers Pipeline funnels: onco.cc/pipeline Cancer by type: onco.cc/cancers/ Institutional rankings: onco.cc/institutions/ The startups: onco.cc/startups/ Heros and heroines : onco.cc/heroes/ Key medical people: onco.cc/people/ Here is the project roadmap: onco.cc/roadmap/ Models and data sets: onco.cc/models/ There are other views as well, take a browse. Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live. If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated. I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well. I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem. Let the feedback flow!

Claude desktop needs the ability to auto-group threads based on events and skill inclusion. On create, if thread uses skill x, move thread to y.

76 years ago, Ray Bradbury published "There Will Come Soft Rains," an apocalyptic short story about a time when we have wiped ourselves out—but our AI obliviously continues automating our empty smart homes. Bradbury set the story on August 4, 2026. btboces.org/Downloads/7_Ther…

Gutted to hear about Glen Hansard’s passing. Such an amazing performer.

‘The Odyssey’ is brilliant - the best movie in perhaps a decade - maybe the last great piece of cinema.

BYOK is the new “enter your SMTP settings.” Building consumer AI apps in 2026 and the biggest UX cliff is still “paste your API key.” Non-starter for normal humans. LLM providers need an OAuth flow. “Sign in with Anthropic → authorize this app → bill my existing subscription.”

The argument in support of a uniform interface doesn’t mean that interface should always be the file system. SQL is also a small set of consistent operations - and likely far more optimal for retrieval.

Devs not realizing that the company behind the amazing tooling they’ve been using for free might not build a solution that is just for them is mind boggling. Congrats to @voidzerodev on what looks like an amazing stack. It’s a power shift to anyone who has a great idea, and needs confidence in their choice. 🚀

Anyone else having issues with nested color-schemes when @ChromeDevTools tools are open?

If you have the sense that using AI is cheating, your mindset is holding you back.

Netflix buying Warner Bros! Wow. To think, Blockbuster could have bought them. Wild.
