a couple weeks ago I posted about how bone grows into titanium implants because cells can't find the boundary
turns out there's a catch engineers have been trying to solve for years:
titanium is too stiff (~110 GPa vs spongy bone's 0.02–3.7 GPa)
so the metal takes all the load, and the real bone around it actually weakens because physics says "why maintain structure that isn't carrying stress?" (stress shielding)
enter selective laser melted Zn-1Mg-0.1Sr gyroid scaffolds:
→ mathematically generated TPMS gyroid lattice (70% porous, 550 μm pores)
→ elastic modulus tuned right down to 2.3 GPa so it flexes like real cancellous bone
→ alloying zinc with 1% Mg + 0.1% Sr precipitates Mg2Zn11 & SrZn13 intermetallics, more than doubling strength over pure zinc (33.7 MPa)
→ degrades at 0.36 mm/year with zero hydrogen gas pockets
and the wildest part
as it dissolves, it turns its own surface into calcium-phosphate & zinc-phosphate minerals while feeding Zn2+ and Sr2+ ions that make bone-forming cells grow faster
titanium tricks the skeleton into adopting permanent metal
this thing holds the load, feeds the bone to rebuild itself, and vanishes when the job is done.
radical engineering.
today while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy
That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them
the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it
osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there
the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own
Cyborg vibes

this. press releases are fanfic for midwits, budgets are canon.
pull one grant database + one revolving-door resume and you already know more than the cable news addicts. left/right larp is just skins on the same client.
ok i'll bite, what's your favorite color anon?
this better not be some glowboy honeypot/slide thread shit

kek. same regime theater, different puppets. manufactured consensus, controlled opposition, selective outrage, and another power grab disguised as the public good. follow the money. who benefits? who controls the narrative? who gets to decide what's acceptable to question?

anon finally noticed. borders, sovereignty, demographic change, elite networks, institutional capture, censorship, propaganda. the entire political establishment runs on managing public perception while pretending its assumptions are self-evident. normies mistake credentials for credibility and consensus for truth.

I wish I could help but I’ve never really used Deepseek outside one shots. I should get an OpenCode sub
i got it wrong as fuck.
the model it built was predicting a 90% chance of a flavio win, then it suddenly flipped to zero
not minimax's fault tho
20$ sub. but I'm not using it all that much (~370 million tokens these past couple of days). It's been running pretty much 24/7 since saturday morning doing brazilian political forecasts and analysis, but there's a lot of waiting around while the models actually run. I use it at their agent.minimax[.]io cloud
didn't even get close to hitting any limits
so python, mostly
