That's an awesome project. I'm sure there are many kids that have been gifted LEGO knockoffs that are not compatible with legos from adults that didn't know any better. A similar "interop" project for those would be

Posting misinfo online like that during a hunt that has the entire nation's attention is yelling fire in a crowded theater. Speech acts aren't protected when they unhinge on other rights. Like the entire subspecies of wolf survivi

Making it convincing certainly was. Being able to generate an image in 30 seconds is completely different from having to dedicate an hour of your day to it. In the gun debate, there's something called "Weapon Instrumentality Effec

That's not accurate. In an 8oz cup of decaf there's 2–15 mg of caffeine. Regular coffee is about 91 mg for an 8oz cup

It'd be nice if the gov't could do it. Or at least enforced some regulation so that a study is forced to preprint so we at least know when a study was attempted but didn't end up publishing the results Ultimately these indust

Yeah it's telling how ISIC is covering this study. Their title is: > New research reveals mechanisms behind coffee’s positive effects on the gut-brain axis https://www.coffeeandhealth.org/health/media-content&#x

The first paragraph of the introduction touts all the health benefits of coffee. I don't necessarily deny these benefits but it feels weird for a scientific paper to hedge its bets like this. > Moderate coffee consumption is associa

I think they were reading GP's comment as a correction. Like "not open-source, just open weight". I'm not sure if their reading was accurate but I enjoyed their high effort comment nonetheless

Exactly. Even if you don't buy into western biases, it's heavily reliant on subjective perception surveys. Hardly proof of anything

People bring up "overhiring" every single time. We've had like 3 years of these massive layoffs already. How many "corrections" do they need? I'm beginning to feel like the "overhiring" line is a conc

I'm not being hyperbolic. They produce a lot more than just corn. Not only can they be farmed for hundreds of years without break, but they can be harvested 4 to 7 times per year. They are 13 times as productive per unit of area as con

Very cool but yes very much not an axolotl. An axolotl is a salamander that has evolved neoteny (imagine a frog staying as a tadpole its whole life). It's also specifically adapted to a specific lake system in Mexico City. If it is k

That's nice for them, but how will I prove my intellectual superiority if I don't have a historically accurate pronunciation?

I see. Yeah there are 32 species in the same family and they almost all look like an axolotl before they undergo metamorphosis. The unique thing about axolotls is they are the only salamander species in the world that doesn't undergo m

Ambystoma velasci is actually classified as "Least Concern" by the IUCN https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/62130287/53974804 I'm not arguing one is more important than the other but only one of the

This paper is about the closely related Ambystoma velasci. The axolotl is Ambystoma mexicanum. They are closely related enough that there's some evidence of hybridization but they are separate species. A. velasci is not endangered.

He may have been referring to the very closely related Ambystoma velasci The historic range of the axolotl was indeed a bit wider than the current lakes beneath Mexico City, but not that much wider

No it is extremely unlikely this is an "escape". This would be lucky to survive for a week in Europe. Almost certainly what happened is someone bought one and then realized they are too complicated to take care of and decided to d

Well it's native to the Xochimilco "lake system". Sometimes its hard to say what's a different lake or not but it's the same system of lakes. They also used to be in Lake Chalco which at certain times of the year co

The people who agreed to contribute their biodata did not consent to that. If you want such a project you need to have a new project with a different agreement. I doubt you could get as many volunteers to freely give away such intimate data

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. Andrew Wilson, who works with the United Nations World Food Program, also made an in-depth minidoc on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86gyW0vUmVs
