Sharing what I eat would give away my identity to anyone who knows me in real life and happens to read my comment, sorry.
- Comment on Find what you like and stick with it 4 days ago:
I’ve literally made the same exact meal for breakfast and dinner every single day for the last four years straight. Lunch changed because of an external factor, but I’ve had the same meal for lunch every day for about six months now. The meme isn’t referring to making your favorite meal, it’s referring to making the only thing you eat for that meal, ever.

Kagi has its own search engine and internal web indexing:

Things appear to have changed; thanks for drawing my attention to that. I may start editing some articles in my broader area.

I can’t without doxxing myself more than I’d like. It wasn’t an article about himself, nor his research. This was about 10 years ago, so the rules may have changed. I’ll take a look and edit my post accordingly if so.

A problem with Wikipedia is that experts are not allowed to contribute to their areas of expertise because they’re “biased”. I know a professor at a top university who used to spend his free time editing Wikipedia outside of his specific area but in his broad area of expertise as a method of disseminating science knowledge to the public. When the higher-up Wikipedia editors found out who he was, they banned his account and IP from editing.
Having the lay public write articles works when expertise isn’t required to understand something, but much of Wikipedia around science is slightly inaccurate at best.

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective! The job wouldn’t be in Copenhagen, but I do hope to visit before the offer deadline.

Blue light is important for night vision, so either of those options would lead to less of an ability to see well after sunset.
- Comment on YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE 5 months ago:
No, glia support neurons; they do things like redirecting blood flow to more-active-than-usual neurons, mylenate axons, etc. They wouldn’t form a mesh around neurons’ photoreceptors the same way they do neurons’ somas and axons. What the article describes is that glia actually are critical at allowing for color vision during the day and night vision at night, since on land we’d get too much blue light to see color with much fidelity were it not for glia, and a similar filtration process helps us see at night. It’s not that it’s not as bad as it could be, it’s actually that vision is better this way (barring one small blind spot outside of our fovea–which, being outside of the fovea, would have low acuity anyways).

This arrangement actually optimizes color vision in the daytime and night vision at night. Evolution selected for the correct arrangement for those of us living on land:

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 10 months ago:
I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.
I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

I don’t internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don’t post or comment there. I do post and comment here.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 1 year ago:
A bit of an exaggeration, sure. But only a bit. The lay summary of the article I referenced states the following:
Venkataraman et al. find that the paper commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper: leaving out important papers, including irrelevant papers, using duplicate papers, mis-coding their societies, getting the wrong values for “big” versus “small” game, and many others.
“commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper,” and, “completely incorrect,” aren’t very different.

This study this meme is based on is completely incorrect and should be retracted. Here’s a lay summary of its issues:
