Two species of #lichen survived for 18 months on an experimental platform clamped to outside the International Space Station. The samples were taken from the McMurdo Dry Valleys in #Antarctica, "considered to be the closest of any terrestrial environment to #Mars."

Il y a quelques semaines j'ai effeuillé mes crassula pour qu'elles fassent des branches. C'est fou comme ça repousse vite. Et mon bougainvillier s'épanouit de plus en plus, regardez-moi ce rose ! #mastoplantes #fleuristonfil #jardinage #ScientistWhoGarden

Gros plan sur une tige de crassula où l'on voit poindre des bourgons de feuilles présageant de la future pousse de nouvelles branches.
Plan de bougainvillier aux feuilles panachées de vert et de jaune. Au bout des branches trônent des bouquets de clochettes roses vives, pour ne pas dire rose barbie.

OpenAI wants regulation. This is what they want

1. A new regulatory agency. They do not want to be regulated by the FTC because they want to pretend that they are not just another corporate entity trying to make money. But also, a new agency is likely vulnerable to regulatory capture.

If staffed by people sympathetic to OpenAI, this agency can give grief to emerging competitors

I did a double take when I read the title of the paper: "Ultrafast reversible self-assembly of living tangled matter"
Then I did another (a triple take?) when I saw the video. https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03384
