- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 8 hours ago:
www.nature.com/articles/s41928-025-01477-0
Here’s the paper published in Nature.
However, it’s worth noting that Nature has had to retract studies before:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_(journal)#Retraction…
From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by Jan Hendrik Schön was published in Nature. The papers, about semiconductors, were revealed to contain falsified data and other scientific fraud. In 2003, Nature retracted the papers. The Schön scandal was not limited to Nature; other prominent journals, such as Science and Physical Review, also retracted papers by Schön.
Not saying that we shouldn’t trust anything published in scientific journals, but yes, we should wait until more studies that replicate these results exist.

My question immediately is about the placement of the cotton ball. Is it like… on a small platform behind the person in question, or is it nestled in their ass crack right above the hole? Is the person bent over? Because I would assume they would have to be for the fart to have upward thrust instead of downward.
I have already thought about this way too much.

which docker container do you use, if you don’t mind me asking. Also, how complicated would you rate the setup? I have a degree in network admin and run multiple Linux servers and docker containers with manually created docker network bridges so they can freely communicate with one another, to give an idea of my knowledge base. Honestly the only thing I haven’t done before yet that makes me nervous is setting up a reverse proxy to expose the endpoint to the internet and connect it to my owned domain name.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
I didn’t even know they had it set up as an apt repository for Ubuntu. Very interesting.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
I don’t even really plan to use any bridges, as I understand it those are for if you want to pass messages from other services through your matrix server. I would rather keep those separate personally, even though I understand certain benefits, including having all your messaging in one application instead of numerous.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
I always heard that rolling out an initial Matrix instance isn’t terrible, especially with ansible and/or docker, but I also have heard that a lot of updates have breaking changes and that updating your server is less simple.
As someone who runs your own Matrix server, would you agree with this sentiment or disagree. I have considered rolling out my own many times but get discouraged by those who say keeping it updated is kind of a nightmare. For example, a private tracker I am a member of used to have a Matrix server and an IRC server, but they eventually dumped the Matrix server entirely to reduce complexity as well as the fact that fewer people used it.

Oh yeah, it’s unfortunate how far behind Android is on this when Microsoft basically had it ready to go nearly 10 years ago and then dropped it because they were losing money on their phone department and not capturing any market share.
I honestly think Android isn’t cut out for it to begin with, because it was always a mobile-first OS.
They had a pretty okay thing going with ChromeOS and now they’re killing it in favor of moving Android to their PC line… which I personally think is the wrong move, but hey, I’m not that smart so what the fuck do I know.

You could even run the desktop edition of Windows 10. And that was in 2015!
If I recall correctly that was called “Continuum” and was a big goal for MS at the time. It’s why they kept the Windows 8 tiling style for the phone and kept the option to use the tiling style in Windows 10 early on because they wanted every version on every device to functionally work the same. That way, whether you were using a tablet, a phone, a laptop, a desktop, or some other as-of-yet-not-defined form factor, you’d have a “continuum” of experience that was unchanging. The goal was to have a phone you could plug into a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and use just like a PC.
I never had a Windows Phone, but I messed around with a friends, and I have to say, I never understood why they dropped their plans, it was ahead of it’s time and would have been a literal game-changer in the PC-use-space. I actually had really high hopes for the whole program at the time and was quite disappointed that they bailed on their plans and stopped developing the Windows Phone entirely, and by extension, their plans for Continuum. To this day that’s still my dream phone, one that’s essentially also a desktop computer in disguise.

Probably a somewhat popular opinion in the Linux crowd already, but I think we should be pressing companies to find better ways to manage anti-cheats than kernel-level anti-cheat anyway. I’m glad I don’t play games like that because I don’t like how it works at all.

- Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value 4 days ago:
I mean, I don’t disagree, but Google is just as awful and most people only really have a choice between an Android phone and an iPhone so not “supporting” one or the other isn’t really an option for most people who, you know, want a phone.

That’s honestly a bit surprising, the media went whole hog with accolades for him in 2014 when he first openly talked and wrote about being gay.
- Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value 4 days ago:
Remember when it was viewed as not appropriate to write stories about Apple’s tax dodging because Tim Cook came out as gay, and how important and brave he was.
Remember that Apple, and specifically Tim Cook, has bent over for Trump over and over, including helping fund his bullshit ass ballroom?
Maybe we should accept that absurdly rich gay white men can be just as big of shitbirds as absurdly rich straight white men and just as willing to sell out their own countrymen and their own sexual identity community.

- Comment on Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations? 6 days ago:
A show I forgot from my prior post because it’s so new is Joe Cappa’s Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It’s very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.

Joe Pera Talks With You.
Joe’s love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene’s sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.
The Midnight Gospel
It’s only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell’s relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.
Nathan For You
While Nathan For You really isn’t about Nathan Fielder’s relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn’t promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Before Bob’s Burgers there was Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, which is where H. Jon Benjamin (voice of Bob) really got on the map in the 90’s. He was so young back then, he played the son.
But I always thought it was a very sweet relationship between a single father who was very understanding and patient with his twenty-something year old son who was perpetually without a job and very immature. So patient, so kind, so loving, no intent ever to kick him out and make him “grow up.”
In fact, Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob’s Burgers are all Loren Bouchard projects. He was a writer/producer/editor on Dr. Katz but he was a creator on Home Movies and Bob’s Burgers.
Fun fact about Dr. Katz. Jon Benjamin’s character, Ben, was infatuated with his fathers secretary, Laura, who was played by Laura Silverman. Even though in the show her character couldn’t stand Ben, in real life Jon Benjamin and Laura Silverman were dating at the time.
- Comment on How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot) 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t delete stuff from the laptop manufacturer right away, but the AdwCleaner is an AdWare cleanup app from Malwarbytes and can be safely removed as it had nothing to do with Windows Defender.
- Comment on How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot) 1 week ago:
Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive.
