    Huh. Is this kind of manifold something that a group of humans can now identify on sight and associate with a part of a DNA sequence? That's pretty spectacular. I have a friend who worked for years on AlphaFold, but wasn't aware that people had gotten to this level of confidence in visually identifying proteins.

      My dream is forming a team of Tetlock-style superbiologists who can identify gene names on sight like Rainbolt, beat prediction markets on shorting biotech stocks, and smell out pre-cancerous cells like it's the final round of amongus.

        Hahahaa ... I kinda love this, along with humans who can sit at a piano and play a song they&#x27;ve only heard once, or cook a complicated dish they only tasted once. That seems like the great Turing test... zero-shot humans.<p>But seriously, there probably are a few people who can see genes from proteins like that, faster than a whole datacenter of GPUs. Putting together such a brain trust could be invaluable.

      I went straight to cd-4 and was crushed to find out I didn&#x27;t get it in one guess

    Clicking the leftmost menu icon raise the following error:<p><pre><code> Geneguessr encountered a problem: runtime-error SyntaxError: redeclaration of const NAVIGATION_START</code></pre>

      That&#x27;s the frontpage link, fixed it, thank you.

    Dayly, that means one puzzle per day? And how many of them in total?
    • brinedew6 hours ago
      You can play more than once in the practice mode. It turns on after you complete the daily puzzle.<p>There&#x27;s almost 20k entries in my human gene database. You can choose any of them as your guess, but the &quot;gene of the day&quot; is chosen from a subset that has decent 3D structure coverage (meaning, not falling back to alphafold2 for visualization).
