  Nonsense! Zoidberg’s a fine physician. For Aliens. Your mistake is being human!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Problem?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree there - peer review as a system isn’t designed to catch fraud at all, it’s designed to ensure that studies that get published meet a minimum standard for competence. Reviewers aren’t asked to look for fake data, and in most cases aren’t trained to spot it either.

  Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question.

  I feel like you can do both these days, can’t you? Hades was one of the first to break this ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yes and no.

  Quantum computers will likely never beat classical computing on classical algorithms, for exactly the reasons you stated, classical just has too much of a head start.

  But there are certain problems with quantum algorithms that are exponentially faster than the classical algorithms. Quantum computers will be better on those problems very quickly, but we are still working on building reliable QCs. Also, we currently don’t know very many quantum algorithms with that degree of speedup, so as others have said there isn’t many use cases for QCs yet.

  ULA is already a private company. I don’t think the US government has done any of their own work to get to space since the shuttle.

  How long did you play BoI for if getting burned out on Hades after 40hrs was fairly quick?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix multiplication breakthrough could lead to faster, more efficient AI models⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this actually did lead to faster matrix multiplication, then essentially anything that can be done on a GPU would benefit. That definitely could include games, and physics models, along with a bunch of other applications (and yes, also AI stuff).

  I’m sure the papers authors know all of that, but somehow along the line the article just became"faster and better AI"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The temptation is always there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is that weirder? The people writing scientific software are, by and large, less good at writing software than people who only specialize in software development. I’d expect there to tons of terrible engineering practices in an old code base like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with many of the other commenters that OP debating their husband might not be the best idea.

  But if that’s what they want, “Decoding the gurus” did at least one Rogan specific episode, and I think they do a better job covering and dismantling Rogan’s rhetorical approach than the podcasts above.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hydrogen-powered planes almost ready for takeoff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but notably you can design to reduce the risk of leaking hydrogen. If the areas around the tanks are designed to allow any leakage to vent before it reaches dangerous levels, you can reduce the risk. Yes hydrogen is flammable, so tanks of it are dangerous. Jet fuel is also quite flammable, and we’ve used that for a long time.

  This is all in contrast to the design of the Hindenburg, which was specifically trying to hold onto a bunch of hydrogen in the flammable regime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hydrogen-powered planes almost ready for takeoff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing that they are (falsely) equating it to the hindenburg, when IMO it wouldn’t be much different safety-wise than current fossil fuel powered planes.

  It’s not like they would be filling the wings and luggage compartment with free-floating hydrogen, it stays in it’s tank

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight - 6 Years Later. [Ceave Perspective] [1h31m08s]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s optional for beating the games story, but required if you are trying for full (112%) completion.
