Everyday we have freshly sprouted legumes. We love it because we can carry them dried and rehydrate them months later. Today's mixtape is lentils, radish and fenugreek.

But is this correlation or causation? It seems almost like Black folk are suggesting that police activity *causes* more murders to happen?

We can test this (and we have!) by seeing what happens if you go into a neighborhood with a lot of murders, and get police to stop brutalizing innocent Black people, and focus only on stopping murders.

Result: You can end a murder wave in a city by getting cops to focus on murders instead of being evil.

Operation Ceasefire works.

The carbon footprint of NFTs on Ethereum wasn’t looking great before The Merge, but it was nothing compared to on-chain Bitcoin NFTs

Yesterday Bitcoin mining company Luxor mined the largest block ever, containing almost exactly 4MB of data. Only 63 transactions could fit into the block, as the NFT used up the rest of the available space

The carbon footprint: ~888 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of taking a flight from New York to Tokyo and back - 466 times

"Ho l'autista".

In this quest for independence from centralized social media, I'm wondering...does anyone still use RSS?

For any of you who do, what is the experience of using RSS in 2023? Are there any RSS apps that are pleasant to use? Sites (other than big content publishers) that publish a feed?

(Please share for visibility if you have followers who might have experience to share.)

And they walked passed eachother and said nothing... The end 😅

Are you more of a leave early or arrive late kinda person?

An equal superposition of a 1 s and a 2 pz orbital.

The color represents the complex phase of the superposition viewed from the rotating frame in which the phase of the 1 s is frozen.

Exciting to see a new protein generative diffusion model in preprint! We look forward to trying the Genie model from Mohammed AlQuraishi https://www.aqlab.io/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12485 #ai #proteinengineering #proteinai #drugdiscovery

Yep, for those who won we don't actually know how long they may have survived. Each season there is only 1 winner (except S4). The winners would need to survive ~2.3x longer than they did to balance the average days lasted for men and women. With that in mind I think this is a fair metric to compare genders more generally.

#ChatGPT is even more useful when asking stuff that you know very well and that can't fool you. By knowing it you can quickly read a lot of answers and most of the time there are relevant details you never heard of or connections you didn't make.

I'm currently experimenting with a #GPT3 plugin for #Logseq that can be used to generate more content alongside my notes to keep it in context and eventually reworked manually; here there is an example (in Italian) with machine generated sentences highlighted:

Oh hey, abled people, do you know what spoons are in the disability community?

this was the best thing I ever tweeted

@rastinza @KellyKellyKelly wow that is incredible ! Do you have a screenshot ? I didn’t know that #ChatGPT knew my group and it’s work :)
