When I was a kid we had a bonsai book… I used to look through it for hours…
Cut to the future and I not only can find that book again [1] but the author has a beautiful and hilarious youtube channel [2]
Worth the watch if only for the lulz
Just read the article and didn't see anything about building an actual laser… what details the article has (and its scant) its seems they took a fluorescing layer and sandwiched with a color wheel and added the additional wiring and control circuitry…
(Obviously more nuanced and interesting physics but still…)
cool and practical, but not a diode and definitely not a laser… I could be wrong and would love to be!
… now, if that setup could be drawn out into a fiber laser as cladding with a wide spectrum neural amplifying core (if such a material exists) that could maybe be something idk
Because there hasn’t been enough time and the ecological niche is non existent… ?
However… upon further inspection, one could argue that the micro biome is full of beneficial micro organisms that have evolved to fill this niche…
[1] Staphylococcus epidermidis
This is one of the most abundant and beneficial bacteria on human skin. It produces antimicrobial peptides and metabolites that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
[2] Cutibacterium acnes
Despite its association with acne, this bacterium actually plays an important role in skin health by producing propionic acid, which helps maintain skin pH and prevents overgrowth of harmful organisms.
[3] Corynebacterium species
Various corynebacteria colonize the skin and produce lipases and other enzymes that help break down sebum (skin oils) and maintain healthy skin conditions.
[4] Malassezia species
These yeasts are abundant on skin and help regulate the skin microbiome, though they can sometimes cause issues in excess.
With most disciplines theres usually a historical reference, homage, or literal-ness to the naming conventions… that can be searched for that will tend to help in illumination.
With software it kind of sort of started out that way… and has seemly devolved into this semblance of appropriating every word ever for who-the-fuck-knows-what… gotta say it’s better than pharmaceutical’s naming conventions. I mean at least software tends to use actual words!
SDo its Friday why not ask Claude do something dumb! http://github.com/elmobp/ping-doom Doom over pure icmp you need root though the other one it spat out was doom over git
My initial take from reading the headline was: no shit this is what mdma is for…
Tangentially,
The etymology nerd in me has been taunted by the current article thats been on the front page for the as of now last 19 hours[1] which conveniently has the origin of the term linked to in the first sentence! [2]… which @suprisetalk also links to in the article description!…
So now I’m wondering why mdma has got the street name molly… and if they're not perhaps related?
As in molly (aka mdma) has got the name as its used as a guard against these ailments specifically…
