Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

These animal-headed bronze instruments were used by Celtic tribes across Europe to inspire warriors into battle.

David Silver says human data is AI's fossil fuel. "We mine it and burn it in our LLMs."
