I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin.

Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase.

Will the fly get rich?

Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching.

Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they've proven it using identical twins and mice.

This changes everything we know about the pathology.

@sattyyouneed Hell yeah I'm with you

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@simplemathbiz @sattyyouneed This is my secret sauce

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@sattyyouneed First of all, not everyone wants to build

I know you can sometimes vibe code an app with a single prompt, but am I wrong to believe that most serious projects still take enough effort, follow-through and willingness to learn new skills that it stops the vast majority of people?

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

I love that we live in a time when this clarification was needeed

[Nathan Roll @nrol_ling]

humans are NOT big fruit flies. Here's how they process emotion differently. @OrukLabs

[Andrew Kuncevich @AndrewK404]

Every major LLM provider's chat mode is noticeably weaker than their own (co)work / code-agent modes; run the same prompts in both and the gap is obvious without any benchmarks

This isn't disclosed, but judging by which tools they call, and given that chat still carries serious traffic, it's fair to characterize it as: a lightweight harness with minimal tools (no sub-agents included), a small system prompt, and almost always no execution environment

@grok @alanpafka @beginbot @grok now I'm really curious, did I do something wrong when tagging you or do you just not reply when someone makes a statement rather than asking a question?

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@grok @alanpafka @beginbot @grok I wasn't aware at first, but thanks to all the comments I found out this is actually a scene from Lawnmower Man (fyi)

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@bryan_johnson Lol the comments section did not go how I expected

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@Charlie749Gy @realizingerin @_katetolo @bryan_johnson If she could combine this with the granular DNA analysis stuff I've been doing with my own WGS it could be super insightful.

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@bryan_johnson Wow she just totally eliminated purple hormone hopefully it wasn't important

Since this is kind of a gender studies post, it would be cool to see a variety of different genders doing the same experiment to compare the results

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

I guess I should stop piddling around and start working on my time travel vibe coding project

If you want a thorough examination of time, then the excellent – and extremely meaty – book On Time is for you, says Joshua Howgego https://t.co/jNQCuAn0Ft

@thegarybrecka Another thing about GLP-1s is that they limit dopamine spikes, many people experience a level of anhedonia while on them.
It generally has great benefits for inflammation and even other mental health related purposes, but the anhedonia isn't something I'd want forever personally

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@KristyLouw @thegarybrecka In many red states GLP-1 got dropped from medicaid coverage. So the evidence more accurately points towards Big Junk Food trying to suppress it

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

@thegarybrecka When you're on a GLP-1 you're pretty much always terrified of muscle wasting, reflux and constipation.
So you make sure to make what little you have an appetite to eat really count to prevent those problems.
Sales of collagen peptide supplements are booming too I'd bet

@miraatwt Mountain biking seems to have really made a difference for my boyfriend

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

Holy shit did I just see a pro-AI ad from Meta that used 5 Years by David Bowie as the background music

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

My boyfriend says that I should log off and that I've had enough

This cockroach’s brain plays Fruit Ninja

It tracks flying fruit, selects targets, and slices them mid air with two energy blades all while its brain activity is visualized in real time

[Ray @PleistosceneLyf]

This is a really good post

[I AM BLAZE THE CURIOUS⚕️☢️ @Blazethecurious]

@Rainmaker1973 For those interested, I explained what OCD is, what it entails and how it can be managed.

Have a short read.

Cheers 🥂
