Simple difference: spiders chemically synthesize long chain fibers not amorphous filament, the fibers are self supporting with tension, whereas hot printed plastics deform under gravity.
You could theoretically print this way with a printer that had a flow reactor nozzle that mixed the reagents for fiber formation on demand instead of a hot extruder, I have yet to see this but it seems likely the textiles industry is working on it somewhere.
But how do you then reply to those posts back into the platform of origination from the outside platform?
Coopr8@kbin.earthto science@lemmy.world•Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors1·3 days agoI get that part, what I dont understand is why thr US would be reporting so many more heatwaves than its direct neighbors, even though the parts of the country hilighted in the graphic directly boarder Canada and Mexico. One would think those countries would have experienced the same heatwaves at least a portion of the time, yet there is a wide discrepancy in the number of heat waves reported between them.
But what about messages? When you say “scraper” what would that look like in the context of receiving and sending direct messages from one platform to another when one of the platforms closes their API?
Coopr8@kbin.earthto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?6·4 days agoI think in a Healthcare setting this has a lot to do with these types of rules.
Regardless of the fact that most communications in other languages will not be this, there will almost certainly be cases where a second language is used to talk about a patient or coworker in their presence. This builds an outgroup/ingroup dynamic that can undermine confidence in healthcare outcomes and cause patient distress.
Essentially, if some people hear another language being spoken in their presence, and especially if they are in a vulnerable state, they will assume they are being talked about disparagingly or conspired against. Avoiding causing undue distress to patients is a standard of care concern.

Essentially the Ellison family is taking over TikTok.
Oh and Skydance might also buy Warner Brothers Discovery, meaning the Ellison family will control CNN and CBS (as well as HBO Max and Paramount+).
Worth pointing out that Chaotic Moon’s products are temporary adhesive circuits, not subdermal tattoos. A phone that sticks to your skin might be a bit more palletable that one that has to be implanted, jist think about the obscellesence nightmare that would be.
Wow, I had no idea about the Facebook/MySpace message bridge bot. Definitely shows the power and importance of the various bridge/mirror projects like Bridgy. It says that the same kind of bot would now be Fedrally illegal in the US, but I haven’t seen any specifics about that, and seems like the EU just made it mandatory to enable through APIs.
I have thought a bit about this and how to breakout of silos, and it seems like now with LLM tools accessing the browser it will be nearly impossible to prevent messaging and posts from being cross-platformed, though the compute cost would be higher than by using the old API method.
Also MySpace was one of the first platforms to use a built-in targeted advertising model, and partnered with Google for both adserve, indexing, and search. To say they didnt sell data is the same as saying Facebook doesn’t sell data, they were the data user, selling ad space based on profiling users.
Ummm… when he sold MySpace he literally sold our data to NewsCorp?
Coopr8@kbin.earthto science@lemmy.world•Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors1·4 days agoI don’t understand the discrepancy between the US, Canada, and Mexico. Is it mostly driven by Hawaii or something? or is it the Midwest?
Murmillo has the most styling helm, so I’m going for that.
Coopr8@kbin.earthto Technology@programming.dev•Charities warn Ofcom too soft on Online Safety Act violators: Another blow for the legislation as Parliament continues to hear stakeholder views4·5 days agoJust a few degrees from digital birth certificates to fully de-anonymize the open web, a horrible outcome for public dissent and protest. I’m glad someone in this process is advocating for privacy controls, but they don’t seem to have a clear recommendation for how you can accomplish that.
Coopr8@kbin.earthto Technology@programming.dev•Nvidia buys $5B in Intel stock in seismic deal ;Intel to design and manufacture custom data center and client CPUs with Nvidia NVLink3·6 days agoI wouldn’t be so sure, the illusion of choice is sometimes more useful than a true apparent monopoly. There’s a good chance Nvidia will push Intel to further differentiate their GPUs and focus into more niche applications rather than kill them off entirely. Like what if Intel focused down enterprise mini-PC market while Nvidia continues to dominate the large profile PC GPU market? Seems like there is a growing niche between laptop and gaming PC, but it might be too formative for Nvidia to go after. It could also overlap with the cloud PC market where more compact GPUs could enable more units per cubic foot of server farm. Just a wild hypothetical, but you never know.
