Hibiscus at Dawn Photo taken with a 1977–1979 Meyer-Optik Görlitz Domiplan 50mm ƒ/2.8 on a 25–55 mm helicoid. Some people think this is a poor lens, but I think it’s highly underrated. Probably one of the best Cooke triplet lenses after the Trioplan.

The worst danger of AI isn't that it exploits creators, nor that it guzzles energy, wastes water and hands power to an undeserving elite, but that it severs our links to each other. It discourages conversation, spontaneity, empathy, critical thinking: everything that makes us better than machines.

Enzymatic structural material (ESM) is a concrete replacement that uses enzymes to convert CO2 into solid mineral particles that are bound together and cured under mild conditions into structural forms within hours. Imagine a world where we sequester carbon with every brick instead of releasing it.

Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Ren Shuai Ying, 1955.
The central figure is Chang'e, shown in colorful, flowing robes as she ascends to the moon. Her long hair and garments are depicted as if being carried by a celestial wind. 
She is surrounded by white clouds in a blue sky. In the background, a palace complex is visible on a mountain, and a large, full moon is shown in the upper right. 
The ink painting illustrates the story of Chang'e flying to the moon after she drank the elixir of immortality, which was intended for her husband, Houyi.
