mers

The natural English syllabification of this is 'wog.ram.mers', rather than 'wo.gram.mers'.

It’s about social inter­ac­tions between the pro­gram­mers or even between your­self spread over time.

For example you can split a genome sequence into words of length k, where we use the term 'k-mers'.

You know, one of the pro­gram­mers actu­ally says that he does a lot of mon­key programming—you know beat­ing on things and mak­ing stuff hap­pen.

You know, we have a few pro­gram­mers that spend a lot of time on opti­miz­ing and some of the select­ing of algo­rithms on there, but 90% of the pro­gram­mers are doing pro­gram­ming work to make things hap­pen.

Pro­gram­mers hate te­dious work of any kind.

Ah – well to clarify, we're performing exact match lookups on individual k-mers (k-length genetic strings), and then computing a classification result from those exact searches.

"I would like to be able to enable even more restric­tive sub­sets of lan­guages and restrict pro­gram­mers even more because we make mis­takes con­stantly." I like this very much.

Think about a length 20 sequence, if only 5 in 100 identified high-affinity 20-mers contained a "C" at position 0, and the others all contained a "G", do I really care about the weight matching, or can I approximate that position as a "G" and still get roughly the same results?

Those used B-Mers going for $15k are probably about the equivalent of a year-old Honda Civic.
