Given the excitement in the current moment, I thought I’d share a bit about what actually makes biology uniquely hard as an application domain for machine learning. The reason is not simply that biology is complicated, though it obviously is. ML is good at many things that are complicated. The deeper reason is that drug discovery does not have the kind of clean… ## [Passport Privacy: a watermark tool that respects your data](https://meertens.dev/blog/passport-privacy/) _2026-04-30 · Roland Meertens_ Why I built passport-privacy.meertens.dev — a no-tracking, no-cookies, fully client-side, open-source watermarking tool for photos of your passport and ID documents. ## [WMT26 Open Data shared task announcement](https://openlanguagedata.substack.com/p/wmt26-open-data-shared-task-announcement) _2026-04-26 · David Dale · Open Language Data Initiative_ And some other Open Language Data Initiative news ## [Three months of agentic coding - my experience](https://meertens.dev/blog/three-months-of-agentic-coding/) _2026-04-04 · Roland Meertens_ Last month I wrote my experience with AI-generated coding on this blog.

Here is a worthwhile thought experiment: how many products do you use that you were one of the first 10 users of? I would bet that for nearly everyone that number is 0. Most people are not early adopters. There is nearly nothing any startup founder could say that could lead them to be their first customer, and especially not a paying customer. There are other… ## [Making a Default-alive Techbio Company](https://ankitg.me/blog/2025/08/27/making-a-default-alive-techbio-company.html) _2025-08-27 · Ankit Gupta_ Most biotech startups are default dead. In fact, most of them earn zero revenue throughout their entire existence, regardless of how many millions of dollars they raise. This is usually true even after they IPO – most are still many years from being able to sell their therapeutics on the market. For software companies, being default alive vs default dead has a simple definition as articulated by… ## [Edge AI using the Rockchip NPU](https://tristanpenman.com/blog/posts/2025/07/20/edge-ai-using-the-rockchip-npu/) _2025-07-20 · Tristan Penman's Blog_ Ever wondered what it takes to run real-time object detection and face recognition on a tiny device, without the cloud?
