Amazing! This must be seen to be believed. #Nature and #science combined can be astonishing!! I can’t stop it with the exclamation points!!!! #mycelium #mushrooms #ecofarming #sustainability #climatechange www.youtube.com/watch
What could possibly go wrong? #TFG’s just joking? #DOGE did it? Nuculer [sic] stuff is woke? Or maybe just get people out of the way of ramping up nuclear weapons programs. #uspol #NRC #science arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
We’re not close to having functional organic computers that can host an #AGI on par with Ultron yet, but there are companies working on it. In our current social climate, this is not a good thing. #ai #tech #science #biotech www.youtube.com/watch
Fascinating how a lot of solutions for fixing complex resource problems caused by the explosive growth of humanity frequently go back to the cradle of life; the ocean. Deep Sea Reverse Osmosis (DSRO) seems like a great solution for our water problems. Just watch the video, but in short it reduces the power consumption by 60% over land-based RO desalination plants, and avoids a lot of its complications. #science #tech #drought #water www.youtube.com/watch
We have a strong, clear, empathetic voice in Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we risk losing him if #America continues down the path being carved into our #government by #ElonMusk & #DOGE and supported by #TFG. The cuts being made are saving squat. #science #uspol #NASA www.youtube.com/watch
Well, duh. #TFG 45 was a chaotic, disorganized mess desperately grasping for more support, no matter what color. TFG 47 is now laser focused on making #America white “again” (PROTIP: America was never all white. Ever.) #uspol #racism #NASA #space arstechnica.com/space/202…
Considering current geopolitical conditions, we may need SRL to develop these devices further. When #capitalism’s robots come for the resources of Earth and humans fight them to save our only viable home, we’ll need powerful weapons. #science #tech #electricity www.youtube.com/watch
I just happened across this fascinating little #ESP32 based air quality monitoring device and am excited. It’s all open source and based on low cost, high availability components. While the campaign hasn’t started yet, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t affordable. #tech #climatechange #health www.crowdsupply.com/networked…
I’ve never taken a single sleeping pill in my entire life. Never needed one, but I can empathize with those who have. And now I feel terrible for anyone who’s been taking them long-term. This is both unsurprising and depressing. #sleep #health #bigpharma #mentalhealth arstechnica.com/science/2…
Well, this is fascinating! The city of Poznan, Poland uses eight clams to control their water supply. When the water is clean, they remain open, but close when contaminated, closing a sensor harmlessly glued to their shell. Computers do the rest. After three months, the clams are returned to their original home and replaced with new clams. #science #health #clever kottke.org/24/12/eig…
