Emerald damselfly, or migrant spreadwing. Nice pic.

Never have a seen a more visceral illustration of the brutal dangers of ai.

Chocolate and famous name brand cola?

Unfortunately your stats link appears to be paywalled, or at least requires login to see the graph?

The annoying part of this for me is that Gates’ name needs to be dropped in, presumably to get attention. But so it goes.

It’s interesting to see that the concept of butter in the comments seems to be a significant trigger for a bunch of people (in the /c/science posting of this article). This is another level to the problem.

But the main problem which no one seems to have commented on (maybe because it is mentioned at the end of the article) is, like many animal product substitutes, production cost and scaling.

Animal products are so embedded and subsidised (and/or at least true externized costs ignored), and politically connected, potential eco-friendly alternatives like this have a really extra hard time getting off the ground even if I could one day be cheaper.

This may be a logical fallacy known as false equivalence, when one fact is stated or implied to be conflated with another not directly related fact.

Some alternate suggestions might be nice.

Here is the novelization of the cartoon… sort of. As She Climbed Across the Table by Jonathan Lethem.

Ha ha, maybe. The article is pretty short. However, the actual paper linked at the bottom of the article is titled “Hamiltonian cycles on Ammann-Beenker Tilings” (unfortunately I can only see the abstract), so the original authors are also responsible!

It’s my thinking that the key point of thr Hamiltonian cycle in this context is it visits nodes only once thereby creating a unique path. The trick here seems to be then joining those paths for a collection of subgraphs? I’m really not sure. It’s a bit beyond me, but I find it interesting to think about.

What are you talking about. Everyone knows polls are the best way to determine what is or is not a myth. That’s why that TV show Mythbusters failed so miserably and is off the air now. Too much fiddly experimentation and sciency mumbojumbo, and not nearly enough polls. It really helps if the polls ask pointed questions about hot button issues with little to no context also… So people aren’t confused or have to think too much (which also is a form of dishonesty when you think (but not too much) about it). Pretty sure there is a poll out there somewhere that confirms this.
