That’s a good way to get kicked out of the wet lab. Most tutors are incredibly serious about treating bodies with respect, you can’t take photos, or muck around with them.
Going Hamlet with them would be absolutely not on.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
It does vary. My Thinkpad (T490s) is awful if you want to do more than replace the battery and main drive.
To replace the keyboard for example, you basically have to disassemble the entire laptop.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 2 weeks ago:
They do. That’s why it’s called an LLM (Lizard Language Model).
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 3 weeks ago:
But also, they’re not real users watching those ads and getting impressions. Unless people are using an agent system that could be convinced to buy the product, it doesn’t seem like it would be that useful.
You may as well serve ads to standard viewbot at that point.

It is definitely more common on VPN IPs, since Google likely identifies the outgoing address as a datacentre, and gets suspicious.
- Comment on Steady 3 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.

Stuffed toy you can autoclave?
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 3 weeks ago:
Big tech and walled garden operators don’t need Cloudflare for that. They can roll their own, for less.
- Comment on Or the common cold! 3 weeks ago:
But they’re also not completely ignorant either. They’re just greedy, and don’t care about much else.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Steam? Why Steam? They’re primarily a storefront, and may as well drag Mihoyo in.
It would make sense to pull in the major CEOs of things like Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), or Google. Google, since it’s got YouTube and Google Plus, and Facebook famously had a whole issue of their platform infamously enabling a genocide.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 4 weeks ago:
Why bother worrying about the downturn if the world bends over backwards to stop you hitting the ground?
It is basically impossible for Visa to go bankrupt, for example. The moment the threat looms, governments are going to leap in and save them. They’re too big to fail.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 weeks ago:
Another victim of the high blood pressure epidemic 😔
He should’ve tried eating less salt.
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 5 weeks ago:
At the same time, the lack of virality may hurt it since it feels much more like a burgeoning project. One of the draws for someone coming off of Twitter would be feature parity, and Mastodon feeling less complete and much smaller wouldn’t help.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 weeks ago:
Even if I had wanted to upgrade, I wouldn’t be able to, since Microsoft needs hardware mg computer doesn’t have. I can’t imagine most people would care enough to even think about that. They’d just keep using the computer until it no longer worked, and in the modern day, that will take a lot longer than it would have a decade or two ago.
- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 5 weeks ago:
There’s a fair bit of nuance around the topic of whether honey should be vegan or not, since honeybees also overproduce, and that is its own problem. Like with sheep’s wool.
Although crude oil has the additional complication where it’s an incidental post-death product, like fertiliser, and from that viewpoint, it would be about as ethical.
- Comment on The Job Market Is HellYoung people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired. 5 weeks ago:
And now that we’re getting into Agentic models, which can click on websites for you, it’s probably going to worsen the Spam issue.
- Comment on Saw this on another instance and knew it belongs here. 5 weeks ago:
What could possibly go wrong with entrusting most of the working parts of your company and its secrets completely to another company, who has no particular reasons to keep to it?
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 5 weeks ago:
Especially since discoverability has pretty much gone down the toilet, between SEO and spam sites.
You’re not going to as easily find a new and interesting website, when the first few results are just computer generated regurgitated text, stuffed with ads by the gill.

You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can’t have that.

But sure, some bones on your ass I guess.
Exactly. Why live?
- Comment on Desiccant dehumidifiers are fascinating... but not for everyone [29:19] 1 month ago:
Complexity? You either need a drain, or a supply of water, that can’t be easy to work with, and unlike with a refrigerant loop, you can’t just reverse it to dry/wet things.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 1 month ago:
Could you not just get an eGPU dock, and do it that way?
- Comment on when ur higher than sagan 1 month ago:
Assuming this effect existed, wouldn’t the memory of the water be polluted with all kind of things (as water is recycled all the time)?
Yes.
If longer exposure makes the memory stronger, you should be getting a lethal dose of salt quite easily
No, it would be the reverse. The water would magnetise to the salt, and draw it out of you, making you very dead.
- Comment on when ur higher than sagan 1 month ago:
The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.
It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so it you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow “remember” what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through done principle of magnetism, or something like that.
- Comment on AI Experts No Longer Saving for Retirement Because They Assume AI Will Kill Us All by Then 1 month ago:
Its like the problems around the ozone hole, or acid rain.
A lot of people scrambled and worked very hard to find an alternative that didn’t cause problems, and now it’s almost like they never existed, and people think it was much ado over nothing.
- Comment on Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store 1 month ago:
I don’t think it will. It hasn’t so far, and it’s got the Windows Phone/Symbian problem where users don’t go to it because it lacks support for the apps they use, and developers don’t support it because it doesn’t have much by way of users.
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 1 month ago:
Even then, you may still get complaints unless you can halve it perfectly down the middle.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 1 month ago:
Makes some sense. If it can absorb nutrients, it can probably absorb gases too.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 1 month ago:
It’s like the brain. There’s a tiny barrier that keeps the immune system out of it, and it breaking down is thought to be the cause of a few major brain conditions.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 1 month ago:
They supply the rest of the eye. It’s just the transparent bit on front that doesn’t get much of anything.
