Needs a bit more proofreading but nice to read anyway.
This might need major fix
> In a 64-bit ISA, each instruction is represented using 64 bits (8 bytes).
Not as I understand it and maybe only for exotic ISAs like VLIW. For most other, CISC or RISC, I think the instruction length might be much smaller, and in some cases, x86 for example, the length of instructions is variable (one of the reasons they have a decoder). The size of the registers is 64 bits, as are the ALU operations on these registers, and the length of the words that are addressed in memory.
Molnupiravir is an antiviral which inhibits viral replication by promoting mutations in the copies of the viral RNA, and has been used in immunocompromised populations. As expected, there are signs that its use accelerates SARS CoV 2 variants.
Molnupiravir promotes G to A mutations as well as to a lesser extent, C to T mutations
The authors conclude "Overall in the dataset, we observe a systematic accelerated evolutionary rate in high G-to-A branches (p<0.001), consistent with the action of a mutagenic drug."
So if some nonzero percentage of UAPs are LGMs (little green men) then that could finally exlain Fermi's paradox! Is there any way to get a guess at that percentage?
