AI synopsis
What people are saying
Overall, the discussions demonstrate strong interest and moderate engagement, with posts emphasizing the clever use of silk as a pulley and how this research uncovers spiders' extraordinary prey-lifting abilities. Words like 'fascinating,' 'innovative,' and references to 'biomimicry' reflect admiration and recognition of potential implications, contributing to the perception of meaningful scientific impact.
Most discussions support the significance of the research, emphasizing the innovative use of silk as a mechanical tool, showing general endorsement.
Many posts highlight fascination with the spider’s mechanics and biomimicry, indicating high curiosity and engagement with the topic.
Several comments delve into technical details, such as the web functioning as a pulley system and biological implications, reflecting active involvement.
The discussions suggest awareness of the research's contribution to biomimetic engineering and natural science, indicating moderate influence on understanding or applications.
Abstract in brief
- Spiders from the Theridiidae family hunt large prey by attaching pretensioned silk threads to prevent escape, effectively using the web as a pulley system.
- The study analyzed the lifting hunting mechanism in the lab and found that spiders do not stretch their silk excessively, staying within its elastic limits, which allows efficient prey capture.
- Results highlight the important role of silk in spider evolution, demonstrating how spiders use silk as an external tool to overcome their muscle limitations and catch prey up to 50 times their own weight.]

How do we know they were wrong? If the argument was (as I understand) that Amazon's dominance in its shopping platform means it can take a leading product and quickly turn it into a monopoly, I think we're missing the counterfactual to be able to judge?
I really do think this is a viable business. Just like @bencollins.bsky.social did with The Onion. People will gladly pay for a thing done right. Happily. Excitedly, even.

Listening to the Breath of the Wild soundtrack and crying because man in 30+ years of playing video games that game still hit like a ton of bricks when it came out. Hard to believe it’s as old as it is already. Still think it’s a better game than gamers deserved. What a gift.

specifically, they ported the audio to the GEMS sound driver a lot of Western devs used. none of the voice samples are leftover in the data. but it does seem like it has some leftover sounds from Sonic Spinball of all things.
