Superbugs could kill more than cancer. Is this new science the solution? — San Francisco Chronicle Old antibiotics are losing effectiveness — and new ones aren’t being discovered fast enough. Our best hope to save lives may be AI.

“Biology is, in essence, just code. AI’s algorithms can sort through vast amounts of code and identify, or build, anything that might act like an antibiotic.”

Because human beings need to have a sense of belonging, thus, a sense of community, to survive.

Even evolutionists agree on this.

How do you define community?

US SURGEON GENERAL: Community is a place where we have relationships, help each other, and where we find purpose.”

Without knowing a single Polish word, I managed to buy
1. stuffed cabbage
2. Poppy seed roll
3. Chocolate raspberry cake
4. A box of happy barrels (alcoholic chocolate) at the Polish grocery. Jewel Osco was closed when I got out of the house. Will my Thanksgiving host welcome me with these ?

And here’s how I know that AI’s not replacing me yet🤣

Sa Bluesky kung wala kang tao, mananatili kang walang tao. Sa Mga Thread maaari kang manatiling isang estranghero, ngunit hindi ka mananatiling walang sinuman. Iyon ay isang komportableng lugar.

Pumunta ako dito para sa mga nakakatawang Linggo.

#Ilocano seems to be not quite as advanced though.

Iti Bluesky no maysaka’t nobody, agtalinaedka a nobody. Iti Threads mabalin nga agtalinaedka a ganggannaet, ngem dika agtalinaed a nobody. Komportable dayta a lugar.

Umayak ditoy para kadagiti Sunday funnies.

#Cebuano
Sa Bluesky kung wala ka, nagpabilin ka nga wala’y bisan kinsa. Sa Threads mahimo ka magpabilin nga usa ka estranghero, apan dili ka magpabilin nga wala’y bisan kinsa. Kana usa ka komportable nga lugar.

Mianhi ko dinhi alang sa mga kataw-anan sa Domingo.

WOW! Bluesky translate button! #Bikol

Sa Bluesky kun ika sarong daing tawo, ika nagdadanay na sarong daing tawo. Sa Threads pwede kang magdanay na estranghero, alagad dai ka magdanay na daing tawo. Iyan sarong komportableng lugar.

Nagduduman ako digdi para sa mga katatawanan sa Domingo.

On Bluesky if you’re a nobody, you remain a nobody. On Threads you may remain a stranger, but you don’t stay a nobody. That’s a comfortable spot.

I come here for the Sunday funnies.

💡 Tip: You can set your website as your username on Bluesky!

This is one form of self-verification, and we especially encourage official organizations and brands to do this! Examples include @npr.org @react.dev @duolingobrasil.com.br.

Here's our guide for how to do this:

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #265,111, Su Layug ‪@sulayug.bsky.social‬, joined on Jul 6, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #265,111!

What does it mean? Nothing significant. I use Threads more. The algorithm on Threads get me interacting with people.

I finally came around to doing my invoices. That means I still have the desire to live! Question is, will I be paid, considering the impending gov shut down?

Oh, good news exclusively? Sorry…😔

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

My Bluesky Discover feed is a stream
of unrelatable stuff.

Seems that way. Or people so cool they don’t make sense.

So how was this done? You prompted AI to create this and then you painted it on canvas? Cool!

#xl8 to #Tagalog #BlueskyPoetry

Kasing bughaw ng sigaw
ni Diwatang Makiling
na nagluluwal
ng mga perlas at mutya~
nangagkalat na salaysay
lampas sa mga wika
at panatang taimtim~
sumasahimpapawid ka
upang akuin
ang iyong dagat at langit.

Likewise, Arjan! Let’s make great Bluesky poetry! I just realized it’s more than the original 140 of the original Twitter, back in 2008/9. Let’s do this!
