@MariaShen Thank you!

@MariaShen is there a way to get historic Developer Reports? Specifically the 2023 report. For 2022 & earlier I found https://t.co/sCMr64DJUP, but I can't find the 2023 report. I keep finding links to https://t.co/HyIuOKd1Fs, which is now just the 2024 report. Thanks!

@ZariaGorvett great article on the snakes & spiders of Guam! You mention that no one knew for decades that the snakes were the cause of bird decline—does this include locals? I feel like native populations always know these things way before the colonizers https://t.co/VM6Rx3bIvW

@austinkleon I've had a couple dreams like this. The one I remember most vividly, I was prattling on and on to the person next to me at the grocery store, explaining in-depth details about an item he was considering. I woke up so annoyed at myself and what I've become.

Wanted to link to a list of everywhere Wasm is currently used. Couldn't find a good one.

@willemneal asked GPT-4. It gave a great list!

So I pasted it into Wikipedia (with minor edits) https://t.co/wGAOqwChGp

Does anyone here have good intel on Venus? Tryna figure out what the view will be like from the floating cities at 50km altitude; see highlighted comment here https://t.co/whf34L8DZv

If advanced life had formed there, they would have seen a pretty boring Earth beside them. And now, we'd have (almost) no way to know they ever existed.

This is Gondwana, Earth's supercontinent from 550-180 million years ago. If technologically advanced intelligent life had developed in this time, we'd have (almost) no way of knowing https://t.co/I1LmTWryZ0

By the time Gondwana formed, Venus had already been a hellscape for 200 million years. But sometime before Earth's Sturtian Glaciation, when multicellular life but no animals were yet around to see it, Venus might have been habitable for ~3 billion years. https://t.co/sJRTlwo2QB

@mountain_goats I once wrote a poem/prayer about this during a v boring church service

So much leftist discourse seems to see no place for technological humanity in a future flourishing world, like we are only a scourge. It's depressing.

Reminds me of some quotes from The Overstory, which I'm listening to right now:

[Dr. Émile P. Torres (they/them) @xriskology]

I see some folks starting to use the “TESCREAL” acronym. So, here’s a short thread on what it stands for and why it’s important. 🧵

[Chad O @chadoh]

@xriskology: are you or anyone else working on an alternative pro-civilization, pro-technology, pro-every-human, pro-biosphere , pro-space-exploration philosophical framework with a similarly catchy name?
