With some posts about sightings this year in Brisbane, be on the lookout for these Christmas Beetle imposters (how to spot the difference and where to report sitings of Christmas Beetles)
You can submit sitings of Christmas Beetles here https://www.inaturalist.org/ or on the iNaturalist app

Opinions on AI Plant Identification?
Personally, I like iNaturalist for identiying wild organisms. The AI is well-trained and based on a regularly-updated taxonomic structure from established authorities. The ID suggestions incorporate the location of the observation to suggest species that are known to be found nearby. And most crucially, when observations are posted they're available for other humans to confirm or refute any ID suggestions that come from the AI. The AI suggestion is only ever the start of the identification process.

How I overcame my anxiety of possibly getting bit by a rabid bat
Search up the smallest bat in your area and browse photos of them at iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/
- WTF are these
- does anyone know what kind of spiders inhabit the bridges/river walk?
- Newly found interest in fungi and looking for help identifying these finds from my yard.

Hey guys, you can use the inaturalist app to identify plants!
You can also just upload the pictures onto the website.

Bitcoin Block 840000
The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_pr...
But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS...
It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network.

Have you ever donated your computing power with BOINC? Take 5 minutes to fill out the 2023 BOINC Census!
The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more.

Ask HN: What should I do with my leftover bandwidth?
A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy
- If you have a decent computer, you could contribute to science by installing Boinc. A couple of different projects are researching COVID cures.

Scientific computing on a personal machine vs university resources
Probably BOINC (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) could be a good solution for you. You can write me a DM, and I could help you to clarify is this something that could help you with your research. By default, to run your computations on BOINC you need to create a server, but we can deal with that and run your research on our own server first, so this could help you to start faster, and then later decide if you need a separate server. And yes - it's totally free.
