Science related anything. click bait, who cares. shred in comments, scroll.

PFAS have been linked with a range of health issues including decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, and a higher risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases.
i'll be damned.
Gravitation' by Richard Feynman
Feynman lecture. always liked lecture more than tests where I had to remember all the formulae.
The data annotation company Scale AI that Meta splurged $14 billion to take ownership of was reportedly overrun with "spammers."
like his metaverse goggles. beginning to think too much money is a recipe for disaster. 'fool and his money go separate ways' rings true.
Cheap, uninsured satellites are creating more space junk — and it's starting to rain down on our heads.
as usual, insurance industry is legalized gambling. house always wins. who would want to go zipping through that cloud?
"Challenging long-held assumptions is essential to scientific progress."
makes sense to me considering Webb is finding 'old' galaxies in early universe.
First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA.
It "represents theoretical math that could’ve been done decades ago" - but it has big implications for the future.
can't really follow the math but makes a nice picture.
Researchers at Apple have released a damning paper that throws cold water on the "reasoning" capabilities of modern AIs.
can't understand why they keep needing more power. like trying to smash through a wall or something.
Machine-made delusions are mysteriously getting deeper and out of control.

“What does a human slowly going insane look like to a corporation?” Mr. Yudkowsky asked in an interview. “It looks like an additional monthly user.”
Temperatures there reach an astonishing 30,000-50,000 kelvin.
not a wall. flew through no problem. too thin to effect craft. how tf they measure it's temperature? 'Found A 30,000-50,000 Kelvin "Wall" '
Millions of us dig into them every morning, but breakfast cereals are getting progressively worse for our health, according to a new study – having grown sweeter and less nutritious over the past decade or so.
from the flipboard science desk. as a kid, the sweet stuff was lucky to last an hour. lol
Artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data centres led to a spike in electricity demand between 2020 and 2023.
read it ai doom. they need to relocate the show to the moon, along with crypto.

Mars’ surface hides a secret that has puzzled scientists for decades — now, AI has brought us closer than ever to the truth.
The fatal flaw SpaceX can't overcome.
this guy shreds SpaceX. sounds a lot like Tesla promises from king ketamine
picture alt; Starship blasts off on a column of red/orange flame and smoke against a red/orange sky.
By controlling individual atoms, researchers have demonstrated a way to turn previously unwanted atomic motion into an advantage.
Hyper-entanglement is distinct from traditional quantum entanglement, which describes two or more particles that are in-sync and share a property across vast distances. Hyper-entangled atoms, by contrast, can share multiple properties at the same time.
Strontium titanate was once used as a diamond substitute in jewelry before less fragile alternatives emerged in the 1970s. Now, researchers have explored some of its more unusual properties, which might someday be useful in quantum materials and microelectronics applications.
Jupiter, our largest planet, teaches us how planetary systems evolve. Its four planet-like moons make it a planetary system of its own.
