Combining this mobility with the fungi’s ability to sense chemical and biological signals could prove useful in a range of applications, according to the researchers.

“By growing mycelium into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment,” said Rob Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell.

Maybe someday my houseplant could get up for a drink of water in the middle of the night.

Assuming this tech isn’t limited to mushrooms

Sounds like a common issue then

It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case

Unless it’s at the bottom of a bag you haven’t used in months.

Might be good still, but it’s likely smushed

I was looking for it myself, it’s in the works!

It looks like my area/city has GTFS support, so it should work once implemented. You could check the list for your location too

Why doesn’t a defibrillator work?

In movies (and mostly cartoons), it’s often used as a solution to any ‘death’, so it’s more just misleading

• For the heart to pump blood, the muscles need to contract in a specific pattern. This is coordinated by a part of the heart using a form of electricity.
• When these contractions get out of sync and blood stops being pumped (ex. certain types of heart attacks), we can use a defibrillator/AED to get everything in sync again.
• If that is not the cause of the cause of the problem, the defibrillator wont’ work.

If you are still experiencing issues, consider using Organic Maps in the meantime. It works just as well as Google Maps for a lot of tasks, and it uses OSM data

Thanks! Saved :)

1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.

Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of “content” that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn’t a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.

I’ve mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.

Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don’t have an incentive to stop it.

2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.

Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.

Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.

It’ll be an arm’s race, but it wouldn’t be impossible.
