Off topic: Prototaxities, the only big land life for tens of millions of years that dominated the surface before trees, is apparently not made of mushroom (as it was believed for ages).

Both chemical and structural analysis of well-preserved fossils in Scotland failed to match mushrooms from the same sediment. It's an absolutely new form of life. And studying a 400 million years old life is not easy.

It used to have huge ring-enforced structures inside to pass liquids and gases + smaller ones to distribute it further (very similar to lungs and blood vessels). But there are no signs that it was an animal either. But what do we know about life if we fail to determine WTF is Paleodictyon nodosum which still exists, we just can't find anything but traces of it.

Google mapped a fruit fly brain into the usable simulation and open-sourced it. People made it to play Doom, be a Minecraft NPC, dance in Beat Saber, solve Rubik's Cube, trade, run business, operate military drones, and so on.

In the meantime, on September 30 the lead software developer of the Apollo project passed away. Margaret Hamilton was 90 and she kept doing science and software for decades.

She was initially allowed to lead the team only because her boss believed that it's something equal to a writer while boys do the real job in engineering. She named the new role Software Engineering in response and became a fouken legend.

Astronauts praised her work, since even when hardware was cooked by harsh space, the software remained reliable and helped to bring them home.
