The Body Electric

Posted by in category: futurism

Making an embryo is much like making a Lego castle: In the same way that a castle needs turrets and gargoyles and a moat, you need two legs and two eyes and a heart.

Except unlike the Lego Camelot, you don’t come with a picture on the box of what you’re meant to look like, much less an instruction manual—and you’re not going to be the one to assemble the structure. Instead, you’ll sit back and wait for the Lego pieces to organize themselves. Our cells, our little Lego pieces, assembled themselves. What’s even more astonishing is that when they get it right, all those cells get it right in broadly the same ways: We all managed to come out with the characteristic shape and proportions appropriate to our species (we can all spot a regulation-issue chicken, frog, mouse, or human shape).

Chainlink’s new platform lets web3 projects connect to Web 2.0 systems like AWS and Meta

Posted by in category: futurism

Chainlink, a web3 services platform, is launching a self-service, serverless platform to help developers connect their decentralized applications (dApps) or smart contracts to any Web 2.0 API, the company exclusively told TechCrunch.

The new platform, Chainlink Functions, also lets builders run customizable computations on Web 2.0 APIs within minutes through its network, Kemal El Moujahid, chief product officer at Chainlink Labs, told TechCrunch.

“Our goal is to enable developers to combine the best of web3 smart contracts with the power of Web 2.0 APIs,” El Moujahid said. “What this creates is a massive opportunity to build apps that combine the best of smart contracts and Web 2.0.”

Devil’s Honeycomb

Posted by in category: futurism

The St. Francois Mountains of the Ozarks are full of geological wonders. Most know of the smooth shut-ins of the Black River or the house-size red boulders of Elephant Rocks State Park. But the Hughes Mountain Natural Area brings a site overlooked by tourists—the Devil’s Honeycomb.

The trail to the honeycombs can be a bit daunting, but the rewards are well worth it. In addition to sweeping views of Washington county, 1.5 billion-year-old Precambrian rock outcrops multiple at the mountain peak. These are some of the oldest exposed rocks in the United States. Volcanoes once liquified rocks in the area helping form the multi-sided rock columns. The rhyolite formations, known locally as the Devil’s Honeycomb, are one of Missouri’s geologic wonders. They are deep red in color and covered in sea-green lichens.

In the spring and summer, wildflowers fill in the cracks of the honeycomb. Rain pools in between the rhyolite, creating little bird baths. Lizards soak up the sun upon the rocks. Even prickly pear cactus grows in the heat of the honeycomb.
