TIL that when you burn fat the majority of waste products are exhaled as CO2 🤔

Adding this to the list of things i thought i knew about the human body but really didn’t. The systems complexity in biology is insane. There is so much we don’t know. I mean just look at the immune system, that alone is more advanced than any piece of software i’ve even seen.

I think ai researchers will be the ones that start making large advances in this field. There is just too much going on and too much data. Anthropic ceo (claude, etc) suspects AIs will be doing phd level research by 2027…

This is going to be an interesting century.

the thing that blows my mind is how each system, while complex,

is also simple in the way unix os simple, but on steroids. and each system overlaps into the next, seamlessly 🤯

and that same integration spiral is seen in nature at the micro, and the macro.

I can't say that about neuroscience or endocrinology. There's a lot of "code reuse" that really shouldn't have been reused, and a lot of "memory accesses" that really shouldn't be allowed.

Bones, and their maintainence and remodelling, though, that is just poetry. Natural selection does good work if it has time to iterate through a hundred million generations.
