They're basically /r/the_Donald.

After all that work they did to screenshot Twitter?

An adult drosophila melanogaster. Amazing and incredibly useful work, but the title makes it sound like a bit more of a breakthrough.

"The IceCube detector, which became operational in 2010, is the largest of its kind. The observatory can monitor 1 billion tons of the Antarctic ice for neutrino interactions. To build the detector, workers drilled 86 holes in the ice, each 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) deep, and spread a network of 5,160 light sensors over a grid that spans 0.2 cubic mile (1 cubic kilometer)."

Holy shit. I hadn't heard of this thing, but that's an amazing solution.

In case anyone hasn't seen this:

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison.

Because the same legion of full-time Eric Cartman impersonators smears the same hateful dogshit over normal comment threads. This is a lot more effective than individually banning every member of the inevitable asshat brigade. There's room for instances that federate with them, but it probably shouldn't be the default.

The problem is that the articles from exploring heads take an average of two sentences to reach an obvious and malicious lie. There is no room for discussion under those circumstances.

For those who don't respect the authority of conservatives as the arbiters of reality, they have no purpose except as a glimpse into the abyss. It's like having your stream of memes interrupted every few pages by a graphic crime scene photo, only with the dread that comes with knowing that the criminal has a wide support base.

We'll probably see sooner or later.

I meant the whole channel. I wasn't being constructive.

Generative design is already a mature technology. NASA already uses it for spaceship parts. It'll probably be used for bridges when large-format 3D printers that can manage the complexity it introduces.
