  • It’s worse, far worse. Many species of Solitary Bees burrow into the ground, an average of 15cm / 6 inches into the ground. Landscape cloth or plastic ‘astroturf’ when installed will block last years bees from emerging, and prevent any bees that survive from depositing their larvae, thus breaking the life cycle of those bees.




  • Sci-hub has been an invaluable resource. I posted a question yesterday at work. There was a queue, and it was time to leave, so I’ll see what the result was when I get over there. I’ve avoided using AI, but this was too tempting. My question was in a area where I have some knowledge, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to spot any problems in the reply.

    I’ll keep the hallucinations for myself, tyvm.

    Per sci-hub.ru this has been available since March 6th.

    "Hear the good news: recent advances in artificial intelligence enabled Sci-Hub to launch a robot that gives scientifically-grounded responses to questions. The robot starts with searching for relevant literature in Sci-Hub database, then turns to selecting and reading most recent studies, and composes the answer based on this information. The answer includes all the references, and each referenced article can be read on Sci-Hub with one click.

    Unlike question-answering robots that were based upon the early generation of neural networks, Sci-Hub bot does not hallucinate and is not making up scientific facts and does not cite sources that do not exist. To support its statements, Sci-Bot uses articles from Sci-Hub database. Questions can be asked in any language, and answers can be saved on server and shared.

    The alpha version only supports answerig one question, and a more advanced variation that supports conversation mode is coming soon. Right column displays example questions that has been answered by robot - push the question to see the generated answer."







  • I use glass carboys bio-reactors, and also have a couple stainless steel cone bottom bio-reactors. The first, not so fancy; temperature control is accomplished by moving them to a room that has something approximating the apppropriate temp. The second has a tap near the bottom, and a hole for an airlock on top. I do have a couple heat belts, if I needed to raise temp, as they came cheap from a kombucha operation that was shutting down. Hmm, for that matter I do have that instipot for making natto or yogurt, it’s a bioreactor too, now. Come to think of it, so is this silly sphere in space we’re conversing upon. Cheers!
