I know this is always an unpopular opinion but I just think we as a species should eat far fewer animals. Fish species have been really substantially negatively affected all over the planet by human activity, activities such as bottom trawl

I've experienced this so many times over. "I was wrong" and "the honest truth" are just forever phrases that are now dead to me.

Thank you for commenting here and having the guts to face the nerderati! I'm a Claude Max user. I've never been able to use Fable as my work in medical physics involves both particle physics, biochemistry and biology from Python b

I really enjoyed this comment – thank you. One part of the classical diaspora I think is both under appreciated and undergoing something of a renaissance is that of contemporary choral music. There are many great examples but two I'd l

If anyone other than me really likes classical music, I thoroughly recommend Hyperion Records. DRM free downloads in your choice of codec, one to two free CDs worth of sampler per month to download (with a jewel case PDF!) and some truly ex

I too would love to know the answer to this question. I loved Eve as a teenager / young adult. It was a brilliant burst of nerdery, and the first time I ever met someone who wrote linux kernel modules for a living. I sometimes think ab

Using umatrix or a monkey script and selectively editing what their website does, however, certainly help with privacy.

I _still_ haven't actually been able to _use_ Fable at all. Those safeguards just refuse biology in general.

I suspect Fable refuses to talk about anything biology whatsoever (so much so that I can't use it) -- and Welch's test, i.e. an unequal variance t test, is beloved by biologists. Stupid, but there ya go...

I've often wondered what would happen if you took some near IR, eye safe, ultra bright LEDs and strobed them at 60 Hz from your headgear in an omnidirectional fashion, pointing away from your body and avoiding nearby floor reflections.

I imagine hydrodynamic drag (and engine inefficiencies after that). Water is a thousand times more dense and about 50 times more viscous than air. I'm surprised this isn't already "a thing" though, as the interaction of

This is already the case for Master's degrees and above in Denmark. I've been the opponent examining students. We ask Master's students to give US instruction on a topic (drawn randomly on a card in front of them, from a list

Alas, the android VM will fail safetynet by not passing bootloader attestation. I really hate modern Google.

Most clusters I use are architected assuming you use vim and look at graphics locally. I do. I also use img-cat. I've never liked VSCode anything.

I "grew up" using Cinema 4D. Likewise I just find that the UI of blender is for whatever reason _incredibly_ not intuitive for me. I also don't really like the fact that everything is a youtube video nowadays; I guess it&#x27

A nanosecond? The speed of sound at sea level in dry air is approximately 330m/s. So at say 3.3 kHz, the rough logarithmic middle of the audible spectrum, K=2π/lambda is 2π/0.1 m=20 π rad/m. A phase difference from a sou
