I'm not a fan of us mining our nutrients for our ag-system. But it seems like there's no bottom to the stupidity.
This is all petty infighting that is leaving the whole world worse off.

if #fascism is being funded by a network of less than three thousand, made-up billionaires, why do y’all keep calling it POPULISM.
Sustainable memristors from shiitake mycelium for high-frequency bioelectronics

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the structure of the brain, offers advantages in parallel processing, memory storage, and energy efficiency. However, current semiconductor-based neuromorphic chips require rare-earth materials and costly fabrication processes, whereas neural organoids need complex bioreactor maintenance. In this study, we explored shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fungi as a robust, sustainable alternative, exploiting its adaptive electrical signaling, which is akin to neuronal spiking. We demonstrate fungal computing via mycelial networks interfaced with electrodes, showing that fungal memristors can be grown, trained, and preserved through dehydration, retaining functionality at frequencies up to 5.85 kHz, with an accuracy of 90 ± 1%. Notably, shiitake has exhibited radiation resistance, suggesting its viability for aerospace applications. Our findings show that fungal computers can provide scalable, eco-friendly platforms for neuromorphic tasks, bridging bioelectronics and unconventional computing.
We are mining our nutrients rather than growing them.
“Breaking the cycle of soil degradation is possible,” Dr Carswell concludes, “but it requires rethinking how we manage land – not just for yields next season, but for resilience in the decades to come.”
Using a resilience theory approach could help reveal practical solutions and clarify their potential trade-offs. New research warns that modern agricultural methods are placing the global food supply at increasing risk by weakening the natural resilience of the world’s soils. Soil resilience r

This stuff looks like an armor a character from a game would wear!
Not opposed to this just surprised!
Australian software engineer Sarah Spencer hacked a 1980's knitting machine to create "Stargazing: a knitted tapestry" to show the universe in a unique way. 🇦🇺
Sarah explains, “By using a floppy drive emulator written in Python and a web interface, I can send an image to the Raspberry Pi over the network, preview it in a knitting grid, and tell it to send the knitting pattern to the knitting machine via the floppy drive port ...
