Hooray! Thank you for your continued support of this excellent tool!

Are telomeres considered to be a “cause” of aging, or just a “hallmark”?
In that case, would you even need to use the same yarn?
“I am a cybernetic organism, living tissue over metal endoskeleton.”
this device, which uses electromagnetic frequencies between microwave and infrared
In case anyone was curious what wavelengths they’re using.
Cursed upvote
Are there more people than houses, or are there a bunch of expensive empty houses which people can’t afford?
LLMs were designed to generate coherent statements, but not necessarily correct ones, and are unable to consistently spot logical fallacies in their output. Humans can do this (some better than others), so computers should be capable of this too. The technology is not there yet, but I’m glad people are working on it.
Sounds cool. Could this be used to improve push notifications from Lemmy apps?
the researchers dipped or soaked brain organoids (brain tissue grown from stem cells) in a mix of ethylene glycol, methylcellulose DMSO and Y27632 (called MEDY) for the cryopreservation of cortical organoids.
They later tested the solution under various conditions to observe the extent to which it could prevent damage.
It involved changing variables, such as the age of the organoids before freezing and how long they were soaked in the solution.
The researchers then allowed the organoids to resume growing after they were thawed for up to 150 days. The researchers observed minimal differences between organoids that had been frozen and those that had not, even in organoids frozen for as long as 18 months, according to Medical Express.
Neat stuff. Still a ways away from freezing a whole brain or organism, but nice incremental steps.
I’m not sure how this would scale with larger matrices, and the article is a bit thin on the details.
We’re going to have the healthiest mice in the future!

I’d rather not, thank you very much.
IIRC, the German Redditors drew a better Canadian flag than the Canadian Redditors did. I’m glad that the Canadians on the fediverse seem to be organized a bit better.
TIL that the Beaver is a Tim!
Very well said.
TL;DR: Still no “optical transistor” yet, but they figured out a way to do matrix multiplication:
The researchers encoded the various quantities they wanted to multiply into beams of light, then sent the beams through a series of components that altered the beam’s phase—the way its light waves oscillated—with each phase alteration representing a multiplication step. By repeatedly splitting the beams, changing their phase, and recombining them, they could make the light effectively carry out matrix multiplication. At the end of the chip, the researchers placed photo detectors that measured the light beams and revealed the result.
Ah, thanks. Even if it is a bit confusing, it’s cool that they were able to switch out the underlying software without breaking everything. I guess it helps that mbin is a fork of kbin.
Hang on, there’s an entire moose Lemmy instance?
