Nevermind, just double checked and they’re different receptor types. Because of course they are!

An excerpt from the paper “Cell autonomy of lin-12 Function in a Cell Fate Decision in c. Elegans”: Functional Similarities among h-12, g/p-l, and Notch The predicted M-12 protein shares many structural features with the predicted products of the Notch gene of Drosophila (Wharton et al., 1985; Kidd et al., 1988) and the glp-1 gene of C. elegans (J. Yochem, personal communication; J. Austin and J. Kimble, personal communication; A. Fire and J. Priess, personal communication). There are functional similarities as well. In Drosophila, neurogenesis

Reading an old paper from the 80’s and seeing GLP-1 mentioned is like rewatching a series and seeing the forgettable side character that becomes a main character in later seasons

@robin.berjon.com co-founder of Eurosky is testifying in the French Parliament today - watch live 👇

I’m really excited to see what she does now that she’s unbridled from the corporate side of things. I think a CIO-like position has been badly needed for a good while now.It would be cool if this meant more discourse and engagement with community projects and proposals!

(Of course, PBCs also have a duty to “the public good” as well as stakeholders, but what “the public good” is is very nebulous and hasn’t been stress tested in court)

I don’t know how PBCs work explicitly, but the CEO would ultimately have to respond to the stakeholders, and Jay is the largest stakeholder. I wouldn’t imagine she has the 50% + 1 stake needed to override without other stakeholders, though

I was definitely thinking of that!

Being great at designing things != being the best person to run things

Recognizing that and stepping back to a role that best suits your lived experience is a sign of maturity and selflessness for the ecosystem, imo

Hello from the other side! Best of luck on this endeavour

Those system requirements though 😵‍💫 (Of course this is for full network, but still)

Typically that would still be somewhat within range for self-hosting for a dedicated project, but with component prices nowadays...

I do think Radiohead really hit the nail on the head with Kid A on how the 21st century was going to feel like

I think progressive loading is very cool tbh. jxl is also much better for lossless, but that’s not really a web-related application

Very strange. You might need a plugin

Photoshop added Webp support in 2024, so it might be your version

What is your primary function

Freud was wrong and weird about it. Deleuze was (somewhat) right, but why did he have to be so damn weird about it?

Your ideas would probably go farther if you don't explain this using terms like "bodies without organs", "the machinic unconscious" or "collective assemblages of enunciation" yknow!

That’s awesome. Hopefully once the decoder is fully fleshed out it gets the ball properly rolling on adoption

Thank God. Finally a sliver of hope in this world

Featuring a tall, greenish yellow alien gal in a toony style, named Jenver J. Jokes! She is dressed in a pizza delivery outfit, and its an assortment of doodles ranging from her carrying out here delivery duties, to to talking with her closest friends!

Jenver without the pizza getup, she wears gym shorts and a binder. She also very clearly had a long lanky neck and bug tail, that in addition to her antennas, she seems to have a bug motif.

More doodles of her, this time featuring her friend maus, who she is giving a piggy-back ride! Her friend is a bunny-like creature

Those fur patterns look SO good that’s crazy

Tbh Capital is kind of a fun read if you have a book club or something. Chapter 3 just, understandably, scares everyone off. But if you can get through that, everything up to Chapter 15 or so are fun reads imho. If you understand up to there, you have a solid foundation for understanding Marxism

It’s kind of striking to me how the AT Protocol had the good sense to decompose different roles and functions in this way for *social media* infrastructure, but didn’t seem to put the same effort in something arguably just as important: The overlaying social topology.

Its the same shit with biology. Often, the loss of proteins or genes can be compensated with related ones, based on contextual cues and signaling changes from other network components. Each node in the network plays a distinct role in distinct contexts, which yields a more structurally stable whole

This doesn’t preclude one node from becoming central to the structure. But its death does not mean shoots stop being shoots. Different node types can use different edge types to contextualize their relative position in the graph and reorganize with the surviving structure.

Giving persistent distinctions between *types* of nodes allows these different edge types to self-organize organically, without one central node being structurally indispensable for the survival and connections of the whole.

I called it a “rhizome” rather than a web in my notes. Rhizomes *do* create a web-like structure, but the relationship between nodes is defined through roots and chutes and buds, different edge types which yield an emergent organization rather than complete distribution or a central trunk.

I think this is the core of my proposal tbh. Societies are not just edges on a graph. They’re context-dependent relationships based on legible shared histories and fluid changes in different *kinds* of relationships. It needs more structure than just a web, more node and edge types than just “users”

man don’t get me started. I’m JXL’s strongest soldier and it pisses me off that Google basically killed it single-handedly when it was starting to take off to boost AVIF and Webp. JXL’s lossless transcoding from JPG would make a transition so much easier
