We talk a lot about the federation of Threads but it is incredible what @Flipboard has managed to do. A #fediverse app is literally an Editor’s Choice in the App Store because of the work they are doing.

Did you expect to see a fedi client sitting between Disney+ and Audible two years ago?

La fulminante privatización de la investigación en inteligencia artificial

En 2010, las compañías privadas poseían solo el 11% de los modelos más potentes de IA. Una década más tarde ya estaban en sus manos el 96% de los grandes modelos de IA. Alrededor del 70% de los doctorados recalan en el sector privado

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.

That’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.

FASCINATING how Nature Springer has this WHOLE editorial that fails entirely to mention self-archiving

"just beg your coauthors and institution and editors for money and waivers"

Or put it in a repository. FOR FREE.

How can I publish open access when I can’t afford the fees?

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 Fionnáin

@Fionnáin 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 *_jayrope

@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.
