New Quanta article looks at one of the coolest tiny machines in biology - the bacterial flagellar motor. It’s basically a microscopic spinning engine that bacteria use to move. After decades of trying to fully understand it, scientists are finally figuring out how it actually works. The motor is powered by a flow of charged particles (kind of like a tiny battery), which creates force and makes it rotate. So what looks like something alive and mysterious is really just an incredibly advanced microscopic machine running on the same basic rules as everything else. More broadly, the article addresses the idea of a "life force." It argues that no special force is needed to explain life. Instead, biological activity arises from physical processes that operate far from equilibrium, where constant energy flow keeps the system active and organized. The flagellar motor shows that living systems can be understood as energy driven, self organizing systems. What appears to be uniquely "alive" can be explained by standard physical laws, such as thermodynamics and molecular interactions. Physics pushed to an extreme level of complexity.

After 156 successful Falcon 9 landings, Just Read the Instructions will be fully dedicated to support Starship operations going forward

elon is out here shilling ubi like everyone is going to be living in penthouses not working because ai will make everything so cheap. use your brain for 5 seconds and tell me how that makes any sense.. if everyone has a billion dollars and nobody has to work who is selling you their property? who is giving up their assets? who is handing over real estate and land to people who did nothing to earn it. the answer is nobody the rich aren’t giving up shit. they’re going to own everything and you’re going to get a monthly allowance from the government that covers just enough to keep you alive and compliant. that’s not freedom and only low iq would think it’s a good thing “you will own nothing and be happy” isn’t a conspiracy theory it’s the literal slogan of the world economic forum lmfao and elon is repackaging it as some futuristic utopia a zionist billionaire who works with the government telling you not to worry about working anymore and to just trust the system. and you’re buying it. again… ubi isn’t a gift it’s a leash. and the people selling it to you are the same ones who want to enslave you

Another day, another PhD project kicked off with Claude Code. This is crazy.

We will put an end to Apartheid 2.0, we will end anti-White racism
