Science and religion both flirt with the unknown. Belief is not just about God or ghosts but is an essential need for all humans.

CRISPR-like ‘immune’ system discovered in giant virus
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: biotech/medical
Circa 2016 Basically this could be modified to make our own immune system more advanced to evolve to each virus by itself.
Mimivirus defence system might lead to new genome-editing tools.
Tesla AI Day 2022 was one of the best technology presentation since long time! In this video I discuss Tesla DOJO updates from Tesla AI Day 2022.

Researchers have produced vegetables from human hair
Posted by Gemechu Taye in category: sustainability
The keratin-based substrate is biodegradable, eco-friendly, sustainable, and could revolutionize urban farming.
Scientists at NTU grew crops from discarded clumps of hair. Hair served as the growth medium instead of soil.
The research is crucial to a more sustainable form of urban farming.

Tesla’s robot strategy is inextricably tied to its Autopilot strategy, for better or for worse
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: business, Elon Musk, robotics/AI, transportation
Tesla unveiled its first prototype of its Optimus humanoid robot on Friday — an actual robot this time, by the strictest definition, instead of a flesh and blood human clad in a weird suit. The robot performed some basic functions, including walking a little bit and then raising its hands — all for the first time without supports or a crane, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
The company may be taking its first early steps into humanoid robotics, but it has a lot riding on the business. Musk has said that the Optimus bot will eventually be more valuable “than the car business, worth more than FSD (Tesla’s add-on ‘Full Self-Driving” feature, which is not self driving.)
What was apparent at the event Friday night is that Tesla is making the economically wise, but strategically questionable decision to yoke together the destinies of both Optimus and its Autopilot (and by extension, FSD) ambitions.
