Come spend some time with the TaxonWorks community, docs can always use love. https://taxonworks.org .

Inspirational stuff, with lots of great references to the OGs at the bottom, and source available. Now can it be merged with the look/feel of https://heredragonsabound.blogspot.com…

I've tried a lot of note management but always come back to [potwiki]( https://github.com/vim-scripts/potwiki.vim ) + "Vim". Only one necessary functional bit in the whole thing, w…

One could argue all science is still funded that way. My team is funded by a philanthrophist. NSF "royalty" re-distributes the peasant's taxes to do science. Etc.

When AI is done consuming (and it basically has, except for redundant human-human social network interactions), then will there be a renaissance of re-exploring the natural world? …

Anyone chime in on how they typically engage something like this? No way am I dropping my primary contact info into something so outwardly cryptic. Phone number? Hah! Do you scaffo…

This is the way. I get plenty of feeds, recommendations etc. from others, enough to keep me busy. Follow who I want, and drop in when I see they have something new.

That too! There seem to be a lot of YT videos that are memes on this theme as well though. He alludes to the fact that people make build videos that are essentially adding a couple…

That's no meme- it's a fully operational crazy custom build. A remarkable video that doesn't end in "like and mash subscribe".

Ok, I'll bite. What if solar panels turn into breeding grounds with perfect environmental temperatures to create viruses that kill us all? Who is to say the sun won't blow up tomor…

"But here’s the thing: this massively understates the opportunity. The solar system is the Trojan horse. The real business is the financial relationship with 40 million customers."…

Notes on mushroom clouds are sobering.

I've pitched Blender to NSF Review panels and the higher ups that come by those to visit as the way science should do software. Would love to know of others as successful as this, …

If the only two examples that are presented are "SpaceX" and "Latin America" can we not dismiss any further importance on the conflict-of-interest aspect alone? A completely failed…

Child comment is probably right, "asymmetrical" was likely going through my mind, or some chimera of both. I mean to say that whatever humans do, their actions ("requests"), don't …

Big pharma will intervene when they realize that life is one big chemistry experiment, and it's running longer than any lab has. AI to predict, nature to produce, then you need to …

Very hard to escape biology unless you invest in understanding it. Ticks, mosquito-born diseases, agricultural pests, they don't care about AI, politics, or space-races or geo poli…

But yet I lurked longer than many of other product pages I land on to think about what might be going on thanks to the nature of graphics and the non-standard non-bootstrap templat…

"To ensure consistent data interpretation and enable robust aggregation across experiments, metadata were standardized using established ontologies." Can't emphasize enough about h…

The discovery part is anything but. I was trained to recognize scams in grocery stores (the on sale smaller is never cheaper then the bulk item... until rarely it is) early on by m…
