We'll be able to mimic RSW1 enzymes to produce hydrogen gas for clean fuel (:

This app is super useful to me because I'm always hearing new bird calls—from eagles and hawks to starlings and, yes, even the crows. It even motivated me to crate a BirdNET-PI (recognizing birds by sound). I highly recommend this app.

Any chance you could finish the article before launching another disk-filling spree?

> "He certainly saw ecosystems, as we would call them now, in the natural world. He also understood what we might call the survival of the fittest.[46]"

> "Animals engage in a struggle for existence, and for resources, to avoid being eaten, and to breed." He added, "Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming them into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to their offspring."

I should also note that I do have a 'horse in the race', having read Al-Jahiz’s work myself. I'm well aware that some struggle to accept that such a monumental intellectual contribution came from a Black scholar—yes, Al-Jahiz—at a time when much of the world was still in the so-called Dark Ages.

When will Al-Jahiz finally get credit for his early ideas about evolution, long before Darwin? His book Kitab al-Hayawan is still in print.

New comment by leyth in "Ask HN: How do you prevent the impact of social media on your children?"

leyth — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 04:36:24 +0000

I have children, and I will never allow them to use social media while they are under my care. Once they are grown and independent, they can make their own choices. As a father, my responsibility is to protect them from harm, and I am fully committed to doing so until they reach adulthood. Here's an excerpt from an article titled “Facebook’s War on Free Will” by The Guardian.

> The many Facebook experiments add up. The company believes that it has unlocked social psychology and acquired a deeper understanding of its users than they possess of themselves. Facebook can predict users’ race, sexual orientation, relationship status and drug use on the basis of their “likes” alone. It’s Zuckerberg’s fantasy that this data might be analysed to uncover the mother of all revelations, “a fundamental mathematical law underlying human social relationships that governs the balance of who and what we all care about”.

I am fascinated by them as well. Let me know if you know any of interesting documentaries out there.

It's interesting that they were referred to as 'majus' or fire-worshipers, a term Muslims typically used for Zoroastrians.
