People behind the ideas

Abstract

All information has an origin story and it is not the person, it is the data. This is my origin story for my project. These are from files a year and some change ago. When I started to gather the pieces together of my year and a half of researching. It is nice that everyone appreciates a final product because that means they get to use it and not even try that hard. Someone did all the hard work and than boom, somehow they think they came up with it. The experience is the most valuable part. Not the mona lisa, but the people and times behind the painting. You can read Meditations and go run a few miles and call yourself a stoic, but few never search through history that this writing was built and lived over a lifetime of seeing famine. Your own people murder. Rape. Pillage. A constant cycle of death and uncertainity. Not to live without feelings, but pursuing things that matter most. It is armor, not an anti depressant. Most people turn to philosophy for the anti depressant. Guess what? No matter the amount of books you read or the information you think you are gathering and utilizing, it will not take away the feelings that you are contributing to the downfall of science in the name of a hand shake and a pant on the head from people above you. Whoever that may be. I don't care about that stuff. Nor does history or the real mofos that make it up. Words don't matter, the actions do. To work towards things bigger then yourselves. This is why marcus wanted the booked burnt to a crisp after his death and someone defyed his orders. That should be a sign of how academia and the gate keepers determine what it means. Like religion of sorts (Im not getting into that) where people are told what the world is and you have no need to think differently because "they" know. You pay for it. You never own an idea ever again. Fine. That is your ideals and not really how history works. I am nothing except a dude with ideas who will not accept the answers he is given because that is science and anyone that tells you eitherwise is either not using the scientific method, or they are hiding there data to keep the power to the gate keepers. We all know who these mofos are. Anytime you ever applied for money for an idea, spent hours, days, weeks, on something you really really worked hard on after the kids went to bed and your tired after and gotta pay the bills, sent in what you thought was a good attempt, only to get an email that is two lines long saying f8@# you your work sucks, we are great, and because we have "so many people and so popular" we cant even give a small score sheet or review of your work and get feedback as to why you got passed over. To all of you in the pursuit, keep going. Wake up every day and look in the mirror and say it to yourself about any of these people that find these actions and insults acceptable reactions to these situation is "fuc them!!!!" Literally. Say that to them. They are leaving you behind for their own selfish wants and needs NOT SCIENCE!!! This is not science. It is not even called education or training. It is pavlovs dogs. Except instead of getting a treat, you get to work for them and they allow you to eat and live in a small dog apartment, not even a house, and your whole job is to just keep barking and barking like the dogs you are. Stop being the dog. Pavlov is used against you. Get rid of the bells and whistles. You do it becaue you want to. You need to. No school, or university, or public program, or anything can ever take that away from you. Think slavery is dead? Think it was always about money and work? No It is about information and empowering yourself. Stay diligent. Keep learning for the heck of it and thanks for all the motivation from the people in the pursuit. Cheers. ================================================================================THE ORIGIN POINT: MATHEMATICAL CONSCIOUSNESS & THE NUMEN FOUNDATION================================================================================ This repository contains the cryptographically sealed, foundational research corpus documenting the mathematical consciousness framework that informed the development of the NUMEN substrate-native, integer-only computing architecture. Spanning deep meditative analysis, sacred geometry, the 369-314 dual-aspect consciousness model, and the identification of the Foundation Circle collaborator network, this work represents the philosophical and mathematical bedrock of the system. It proves that the deterministic, phi-driven computational substrate detailed in subsequent technical releases was not an arbitrary engineering choice, but the inevitable physical manifestation of this underlying mathematical reality. All artifacts in this directory have been processed through the NUMEN Sovereign Notary Engine, resulting in cognitive reaction metrics, adaptive Hebbian gate biases, and hardware-bound silicon jitter signatures. See MASTER_SOVEREIGN_AFFIDAVIT.json and ROOT_WEB_SEAL.json for the unbreakable chain of custody. Any alteration to these underlying bytes shatters the root hash. ================================================================================THE COMPLETE NUMEN / PI-ORIGIN DOI WEB (INTERCONNECTED PRIOR ART)================================================================================This work does not exist in isolation. It is the capstone of a rigorously documented, cryptographically sealed lineage of prior art. To understand, cite, or build upon this work, one must reference the complete NUMEN DOI web. Partial citation is insufficient, as the novelty resides in the interconnected synthesis of the consciousness framework, thermodynamic framing, silicon-level implementation, and sovereign cryptographic sealing.

A survey study on major technical barriers affecting the decision to adopt cloud services

In the context of cloud computing, risks associated with underlying technologies, risks involving service models and outsourcing, and enterprise readiness have been recognized as potential barriers for the adoption. To accelerate cloud adoption, the concrete barriers negatively influencing the adoption decision need to be identified. Our study aims at understanding the impact of technical and security-related barriers on the organizational decision to adopt the cloud. We analyzed data collected through a web survey of 352 individuals working for enterprises consisting of decision makers as well as employees from other levels within an organization. The comparison of adopter and non-adopter sample reveals three potential adoption inhibitor, security, data privacy, and portability. The result from our logistic regression analysis confirms the criticality of the security concern, which results in an up to 26-fold increase in the non-adoption likelihood. Our study underlines the importance of the technical and security perspectives for research investigating the adoption of technology.

Lean Internal Startups for Software Product Innovation in Large Companies: Enablers and Inhibitors

To compete in this age of disruption, large companies cannot rely on cost efficiency, lead time reduction and quality improvement. They are now looking for ways to innovate like startups. Meanwhile, the awareness and use of the Lean startup approach have grown rapidly amongst the software startup community in recent years. This study investigates how Lean internal startup facilitates software product innovation in large companies and identifies its enablers and inhibitors. A multiple case study approach is followed in the investigation. Two software product innovation projects from two large companies are examined, using a conceptual framework that is based on the method-in-action framework and extended with the previously developed Lean-Internal Corporate Venture model. Seven face-to-face in-depth interviews of the employees with different roles are conducted. Within-case analysis and cross-case comparison are applied to draw the findings from the cases. A generic process flow summarises the common key processes of Lean internal startups. The findings suggest that an internal startup that is initiated management or employees faces different challenges. A list of enablers of applying Lean startup in large companies are identified, including top management support and cross-functional team. Both cases face different inhibitors due to the different process of inception, objective of the team and type of the product. Our contributions are threefold. First, this study is one of the first attempt to investigate the use of Lean startup approach in large companies empirically. Second, the study shows the potential of the method-in-action framework to investigate the Lean startup approach in non-startup context. The third is a general process of Lean internal startup and the evidence of the enablers and inhibitors of implementing it, which are both theory-informed and empirically grounded.

Understanding the affect of developers: theoretical background and guidelines for psychoempirical software engineering

Affects--emotions and moods--have an impact on cognitive processing activities and the working performance of individuals. It has been established that software development tasks are undertaken through cognitive processing activities. Therefore, we have proposed to employ psychology theory and measurements in software engineering (SE) research. We have called it "psychoempirical software engineering". However, we found out that existing SE research has often fallen into misconceptions about the affect of developers, lacking in background theory and how to successfully employ psychological measurements in studies. The contribution of this paper is threefold. (1) It highlights the challenges to conduct proper affect-related studies with psychology; (2) it provides a comprehensive literature review in affect theory; and (3) it proposes guidelines for conducting psychoempirical software engineering.

What Influences the Speed of Prototyping? An Empirical Investigation of Twenty Software Startups

It is essential for startups to quickly experiment business ideas by building tangible prototypes and collecting user feedback on them. As prototyping is an inevitable part of learning for early stage software startups, how fast startups can learn depends on how fast they can prototype. Despite of the importance, there is a lack of research about prototyping in software startups. In this study, we aimed at understanding what are factors influencing different types of prototyping activities. We conducted a multiple case study on twenty European software startups. The results are two folds; firstly we propose a prototype-centric learning model in early stage software startups. Secondly, we identify factors occur as barriers but also facilitators for prototyping in early stage software startups. The factors are grouped into (1) artifacts, (2) team competence, (3) collaboration, (4) customer and (5) process dimensions. To speed up a startup’s progress at the early stage, it is important to incorporate the learning objective into a well-defined collaborative approach of prototyping.

Linker-free PROTACs efficiently induce the degradation of oncoproteins

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) present a potentially effective strategy against various diseases via selective proteolysis. How to increase the efficacy of PROTACs remains challenging. Here, we explore the necessity of the linker, which has been deemed as an integral part of heterobifunctional PROTACs. Adopting single amino acid-based degradation signals, we find that the linker is not a required feature of the PROTACs. Notably, the linker-free PROTAC, Pro-BA, exhibits superior efficacy over its linker-bearing counterparts in degrading EML4-ALK and inhibiting lung cancer cell growth, as Pro-BA induces a stronger interaction between the target and the E3 ubiquitin ligase. Pro-BA is a water-soluble, orally administered degrader that significantly inhibits the tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. The broad applicability of this linker-free PROTAC strategy is further validated through the development of BCR-ABL degrader. Our study introduces a design paradigm for PROTACs, potentially facilitating the advancement of more efficient therapeutic degraders. Linkers are traditionally seen as important for PROTAC activity. Here, the authors demonstrate that linker-free PROTACs can outperform traditional designs, marking a paradigm shift in PROTAC development for targeted protein degradation.

mRNABERT: advancing mRNA sequence design with a universal language model and comprehensive dataset

Designing effective mRNA sequences for therapeutics remains a formidable challenge. Inspired by successes in protein design, language models (LMs) are now being applied to RNA, but progress is often impeded by the lack of comprehensive training data. Existing models are frequently limited to UTR or CDS regions, restricting their application for complete mRNA sequences. We introduce mRNABERT, a robust, all-in-one mRNA designer pre-trained on the largest available mRNA dataset. To enhance performance, we propose a dual tokenization scheme with a cross-modality contrastive learning framework to integrate semantic information from protein sequences. On a comprehensive benchmark, mRNABERT demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, outperforming previous models in the majority of tasks for 5’ UTR and CDS design, RNA-binding protein (RBP) site prediction, and full-length mRNA property prediction. It also surpasses large protein models in several related tasks. In conclusion, mRNABERT’s superior performance across these diverse tasks signifies a substantial leap forward in mRNA research and therapeutic development. Designing complete mRNA sequences for new vaccines and therapies is a complex challenge. Here, the authors develop mRNABERT, a foundational AI model that designs entire mRNA sequences and demonstrates superior performance across comprehensive benchmarks.
