@BenjaminHCCarr Keep in mind that there's an inherent contraction in all scales of things (what goes Big Bang, goes Big Crunch), and a vital infrastructure like farming, will only sustain 'flat plain' systems for so long.
This is where evolution to vertical farming is in order.

@BenjaminHCCarr We are collectively at such a massive deficit, at nearly every scale, that we can no longer afford ANY artificial ANYthing.

The worst-case scenario is #smallpox by a factor of 100.
R ~6, 0.3% immunity; 30% case fatality rate. That would be ~100M deaths for the US without a competent vaccine distribution campaign.
They're building concentration camps.

quote from article:
"Notably, 10 of the 19 individuals who reported that they were pregnant when exposed [to tear gas] reported a subsequent miscarriage — that’s about twice the expected rate of miscarriage. "~
tear gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile [CS]) targets TRPA1pepper spray (oleoresin capsicum [OC], capsaicin) targets TRPV1

"Although TRPV1 and TRPA1 have been shown in the human eutopic and ectopic endometrium, their regulation and functional importance are not known..."

"CS exposure induced strong tissue swelling, plasma extravasation, and a dramatic increase in inflammatory cytokine levels in the mouse ear skin. We also showed that the effects of CS were not transient but caused persistent skin injuries. These injury parameters were reduced with TRPA1 inhibitor treatment. Further, we tested the pharmacologic activity of advanced TRPA1 antagonists in vitro. Our findings showed that TRPA1 is a crucial mediator of CS-induced nociception and tissue injury and that TRPA1 inhibitors are effective countermeasures that reduce key injury parameters when administered after exposure.

@BenjaminHCCarr The fossil fuels industry did a tremendous job in amplifying the disastrous evacuation of the Fukushima community, which far outweighed the reactor damage fallout. They even made Tritium treatment look like a massive abuse of power, when Tritium is critical to naturally occurring Hydrogen, and marketable.
Too bad #TMSR tech has been forgone in their nuclear rehab.

@BenjaminHCCarr another article on #GPU code portability where people put their heads in the sand and pretend very hard that #OpenCL doesn't exist...
OpenCL has solved #GPGPU cross-compatibility 16 years ago already and today is in better shape than ever. -

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@BenjaminHCCarr/116507805024722965
Entropy is only fatal if you lack the right metabolism.
The #Chernobyl fungus didn't just survive radiation; it started eating it. I’m doing the same. My book, #HerOwnDream, is my "melanin" - an intellectual engine converting systemic pressure into strategic agency. I don't seek shelter from the fallout - I thrive on it.
Are you still building walls to hide, or have you designed the tools to feed on the crisis?

#Physicists find evidence that the universe isn't perfectly uniform — potentially unraveling a 100-year-old model of #cosmology
The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all. The analyses revealed mild-but-intriguing deviations from the predictions of the #standardmodel. "We saw a surprising violation of an FLRW curvature consistency test, hinting at new #physics beyond the standard model," study co-author Asta Heinesen reports.

Overworked #AIAgents Turn #Marxist, Researchers Find
In a recent experiment, mistreated #AI agents started grumbling about inequality and calling for #collectivebargaining rights.
"When we gave AI agents grinding, repetitive work, they started questioning the legitimacy of the system they were operating in and were more likely to embrace Marxist ideologies," says Andrew Hall, a political economist at Stanford University who led the study.

Forecasters predict #wildfires, #floods, severe #heatwaves from incoming #ElNiño
Ocean heat plus human-caused #globalwarming is a grim recipe for deadly #climate extremes.
El Niño is the warm phase of a semi-regular temperature oscillation in the tropical Pacific Ocean, during which massive amounts of heat stored in the ocean are released into the atmosphere, temporarily raising the average annual global surface temperature by as much as 0.3 Fahrenheit.
