I'm disgusted by the hyperbole but relieved the story is a lie.

No, dire wolves haven't been brought back from extinction, and I don't believe any species should be, at least for now.

We are careless and irresponsible and restoring extinct species will have negative unintended consequences that outweigh all possible positive consequences.

So, what to think about #DeepSeek? I liked very much to follow along the podcast #newscientist
They look into #security, #data and #carbon imprint. The last one is very well framed in the podcast in reporting on the new insights from the heating of the oceans.
So before downloading it from #huggingface you should perhaps inform yourself (>note to myself).

Get fit as fast as possible

“High-intensity interval training (#HIIT) involves exercising at near maximum effort in repeated bursts of up to a minute, with short rests in between

This regime was devised in the 1990s by Izumi Tabata and his colleagues at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya, Japan

They showed that a 4-minute #workout, with repeated cycles of 20 seconds of intense work then 10 seconds of rest, done five days a week for six weeks resulted in greater aerobic improvement than moderate, hour-long workouts done over the same time frame.”

#lazyants are the ones that spend all of their time #debugging

Funny, actually some do that😅

We don’t know yet if the #ants are just cleaning the wound and removing debris, to prevent infection, or applying #antimicrobial substances with their saliva

Although #primates are known to tend to their own wounds, this is the first time an animal gives medical care to others

@purplepadma Somewhat! Didn't sleep that well from making a bit of a fool of myself yesterday evening I think, and it's still gloomy out there this morning, and something good that was due to happen today has been put off a day, but I am about to catch up on #NewScientist articles sitting in bed, and I have a bunch of chores and interesting things to do the rest of the day, so a win overall #today.

Worming into Fame?

Well now here’s a turn up for the books. I’m in this week’s New Scientist. Each week in the Back Pages, they print a couple of questions sent in by (named) readers, and answers (or at least ideas of answers) from other readers to earlier questions. And this week they’ve printed a question I sent in a while ago.

The question is printed as:

Some worms regenerate when cut in half laterally, but what would happen if they were cut in half longitudinally?

Keith Marshall, London, UK

Hmmm … I’m not sure this is quite what I meant because “worms” is going to get interpreted as “earthworms” by too many people, especially as the online version has an image of earthworms. Maybe the question is appropriate for “earthworms” and not just the “flatworms” I had intended – I don’t know.

But space is limited, so the question as printed is a cut down version of the question I submitted:

There’s a recent report in Scientific American, […]
