@christianschwaegerl Echt interessant. Ich habe mit Chlamy in meiner Diplomarbeit gearbeitet & daraus vor allem die unglaubliche Variabilität in der Biologie gelernt - weil die unter (vermeintlich) standardisierten Bedingungen schon unterschiedliche Proteinexpression zeigten. Nach diesen Daten nehme ich mal an, dass wir sowohl die Qualität unserer Standardisierung über- als auch die Anpassungsleistung der Algen unterschätzt haben :-)

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a lot of companies smarting from the increasing costs of AI tokens might start to look for cheaper alternatives, and that those alternatives increasingly are going to come from our adversaries.

As we start to care more about our software supply chain risks, seems like it's also getting more challenging for organizations to understand the provenance of the AI code they are relying on. From a CNBC story about how lawmakers are trying to figure out how to curb the growing adoption of Chinese AI models by homegrown companies:

"Cursor, which will be acquired by Elon Musk's SpaceX for $60 billion, built its Composer 2 model using Chinese AI model Kimi, which was developed by Moonshot AI."

Well, is that a surprise? That's what "space economy" was all meant to be; exploitation of every imaginable source of profit from space, promoted and subsidized by the government on taxpayer money (both Democrats and Republicans support it) to the detriment of significant science missions, like the #MarsSampleReturn etc. Of course space may never prove to be profitable, but so what?

@_elena New person here, as in this-is-my-first-day. ☺️ Hi! I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am trying to leave all things Meta. I suspect there will be a lot of new people for the same reason. I’m glad you posted this (and somehow I saw it.) Now I know I need to add a profile image. But, I won’t have followers for a while. I don’t think I know anyone here yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@shauna Are you across the carework and social reproduction literature? I assume you know Silvia Federici.

I believe I am soon to be the first person to migrate a #community out of #Discord with all its data intact. 😳

@lowqualityfacts We had a (year round) fat squirrel once and we named him "Lil' Chubba" which can also double as a rapper's name.

@clamxav @ccgus @mwichary @jimniels NSWorkspace's setIcon() method doesn't change the icon in the Finder in macOS 27 (and presumably also macOS 26). It just returns false.

Honestly, I'm so disappointed in the EU Commission lately, with all the "W" nonsense, "Chat Control" and "AI" boosting. It seems that the folk are either tech-illiterate and just listen to what they are being told by the US, or that the EU is in a complete choke-hold by the US tech giants.

Or even worse, both.

I really was an EU fanboy, but this is breaking my heart.

Yes, fun and delicious 🥰

Cat pictures and thinly veiled subtoots about Bluesky.

Also, weird vintage computer thirst traps.

@matt Not what you asked for but maybe require a fee to use the Mastodon instance. This stuff is an ongoing expense and the if the choice is losing some folks due to a subscription or shutting it down, seems like the sub is the way to go.
