I've read two of those (both 15+ years ago)! The contrast between the tone of Luria's autobiography and Watson's The Double Helix couldn't be more stark.
in reply to siobain

@siobain i read that one too - pretty bad in several ways. What Mad Pursuit by Crick gives a much better firsthand account, I think.



A team of scientists from the University of Bristol recently released research that pushed the date of our Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) back to about 4.2 billion years ago.

This suggests that the life that is in each of us, and in each of the organisms that make up our very large extended family, runs in an unbroken chain backward for 4.2 billion years.

Thatโ€™s a pretty considerable investment by the universe in every living thing.

Perhaps we should reflect on that a little more as we continue to muck around on this planet.

It might be time to start fitting in.

Some material experiments with mycelium substrate growing in sawdust and flour, to make fungi sculptures from moulds.

I am using a proprietary mix from the Dutch company Kineco kineco.bio/, although I know I can potentially make this myself with some spores and sawdust.

Will report back in about 7 days with whatever comes of these.

in reply to Fionnรกin

@Fionnรกin This looks like very interesting work. Are the human made elements still going to be functional sometimes, like mycelial music and sounds on that speaker?
in reply to *_j฿yrope

@jrp that's the plan. I haven't tested the speaker yet. I have some insulated wire running through others that should hopefully be fine, like the one pictured.

Will keep updating this thread with the results!

And this is why I don't use apps on my phone! Especially for Facebook and Twitter, they're data-scraping privacy-invading hellholes.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

@Gargron This article is based off of information that was originally making rounds in 2016. In 8 years since, there was never **any concrete evidence** showing that they can actually do this. None.

Considering that adtech is rife with fraud (to the tune of $billions swindled from advertisers annually), a more likely explanation is that this is just a bunch of grifters with a pitch deck looking to score off of gullible advertisers.




Square Enix invests in Playtron for their Linux-based PlaytronOS - first Alpha out now gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/squaโ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

What is this marketing though?

Like gtfo, you're building off of Valve's work, you even reference Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher and claim that SteamOS is 'Compatible with Steam only' and 'Locked to the Valveverse' like what?

I'm not even saying that a gaming distro not tied to Valve's ecosystem is a bad thing, but the desperation to paint SteamOS as on par with Windows is absurd.

In other news, we have a bison herd here, just south of town on the Medewin Tallgrass National Prairie reserve they made over the old Joliet arms manufacturng site. You can see the herd on their lie webcam At the time I am posting, the herd is visible on camera.
