  • Haha parasitic is a much better word to use for laypeople

  • The correct term is entomopathogenic instead of carnivorous. Species might be Ophiocordyceps humbertii

  • Another alternative on the fediverse is NeoDB. I'm trying that one out for the time being. Its interface is pretty barebones and could use some work, but it's nice because you can track more than books.

  • Some species of flies and mosquitoes are also pollinators. One cute example of pollinating flies are the Bombyliidae. Mosquito larvae are also important food sources for aquatic and semi-aquatic species like frogs and fish.

  • Haha there's a reason why the Xenomorph from Alien is in part inspired by parasitoid wasps.

    Jump

  • If you study wasps, you'll find that they very frequently have odd symbioses from species to species, most often as parasites/parasitoids or hyperparasites. Some even have symbiotic relationships with viruses that assist them in their parasitism - ichneumon and braconid wasps have symbiotic viruses called polydnaviruses.

  • If you wanna learn about some more wasp pollination, look up fig wasps (Agaonidae). Wasps are legitimately one of the coolest groups of animals.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    Jump

  • Interlibrary Loan isn't available everywhere (at least back when I used to work at a library ~10 years ago it wasn't). If it is, it often has an associated fee (usually at least shipping fees, sometimes an additional service fee). I think the common exception to that is public university libraries.

  • But I can't pirate copyrighted materials to "train" my own real intelligence.

    What is stopping corporations from hijacking the Fediverse by hosting massive servers?

    Jump

  • Most likely someone at the AI company would catch it and filter those strings out of the training data.

  • Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here?

  • Thunderbird "won't be adopting the firefox terms of use"

  • Librewolf is a fork of Firefox.

    From their site:

    LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

    In the future, Ladybird or a browser built on top of Servo might be alternatives, but both projects are pretty far from being usable right now.

  • In our recent election, I was led to believe the president controls the price of eggs.

  • Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?

    Jump

  • Honey can technically expire. If it crystalizes, some portions of it can become more diluted, leading to a low enough osmotic pressure for bacteria and fungi to exist. If you do buy in bulk, check your local universities. One in my area does honeybee research and sells bulk honey from their bee lab at cheaper prices than any of the private beekeepers. I use it to make mead.
