We will see more and more fungi infecting mammals in the coming years. Mammals and birds evolved higher body temperatures in part to protect from fungal infections. As most fungi are dying above 37°C. But a high temperature summer is a selection pressure on any mushroom trying to survive, and hence might evolve to survive 40° summers and thus also survive in our bodies.

I really hope cordyceps is one of the last to do this step.

nice article, but i think as a non native english speaker, i always use the model in english for reasoning and then translate the output to my language. most of these considerations do not apply. because the translation step is taking out alot of these language artifacts

well if in the 10year future new OS are as easy installed as apps now, maybe. But that future is far off. Getting my grandma to install NewPipe is easier if Fdroid works on her phone, than to get her to install the new totallyFLOSS-OS

on the other hand, similar to that one old assassination page, where you bet on the death date of people, it might encourage someone to make an event happen and thus fabricate the insider knowledge if the price is high enough.

So the feedback from prediction market turns around, so you can essentially buy events if you put enough money in.

i love the analogy. the golden age of the web was before javascript, when only people who knew how to code html were able to make websites.

however things come in cycles, so who knows maybe the next will come by

as the other reply, you should still teach your toddler why they should not do certain things. That might be the bridge building. Not demonizing a person for their needs, but instead making sure that their strategy of getting their needs met is criticized and yes maybe punished. BUt still acknowledging their need in the process.

this is my biggest issue. if i think about my sister who is running a small patissery, she has issues even with a laptop. she lives almost entirely on her phone. so either the documentation has to be come a whole lot better. Wordpress was started this way.

if this is coupled with powerful search engines beyond elastic then we are getting somewhere. other nonmonotonic engines that can find structural information are out there.

i mean maintinaing a Base on the moon is definitely a technological flex. getting there not as much. Still challenging. Is it worth the risk and money? not sure, depends what our plan with this is. As a way to launch moon manufactured space probes? maybe.
