  What’s the podcast called? ‘Zitron’ didn’t bring anything up on the Podcast Republic app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent casually clicks through “I am not a robot” verification test⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My son was looking over my shoulder, or vice-versa, while I bitched about that. It was bikes or motorcycles and I’d always click if I thought there was any amount of it in a picture. He told me not to be so precise, as in, if there’s a tiny bit of handlebar, didn’t count it. That seems to work better… unless it doesn’t like my VPN or whatever, in which case it’s never ending

  You know, it’s kind of funny Jack Lemmon is in it. You think the names Jack and (Liz) Lemmon from 30 Rock are a tribute?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"A guitarist who's also an astronaut" sounds more impressive than "An astronaut who plays the guitar", despite both meaning the same thing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was so confused about the coin flipping thing until I realized I was skipping “pay 20 dollars” as the start of the first scenario.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piss Post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool, thanks for seconding. I think I’ll watch it tonight!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piss Post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so I just made up always be shitting as definitely being a thing. Damnit. It felt so real.

  Thanks for the rec though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piss Post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my God, is this a script except? I honestly thought you might be insane until the “(to miss)”

  Always be shitting does sound familiar…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  …into a weapon for an Oklahoma City style attack.

  In terms of the actual explosive, I think that was a whole lot of mass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And in what currency?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nyet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, discovering and ultimately unmasking the hacker is a great story.

  And from the end of the Wikipedia article:

  Stoll sells blown glass Klein bottles on the internet through his company Acme Klein Bottles. He stores his inventory in the crawlspace underneath his home in Oakland, California, and accesses it when needed with a homemade miniature robotic forklift.

  I want to know more about this!

  Fuck that was well done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨butt mogged these zoomers today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I took this as more like Mom humor (a la Dad jokes). Like a super cringe impersonation of ‘memeing’.

  I was kinda of excited to mogg my zoomers. I’d have to fake the post aspect cause I don’t have social media to post to.

  If it’s already some other thing then bummer. It really ruins it if my kids are like that’s old news dude. Saw something about 2022/3 somewhere :-( . Planned to work the ‘original plankster’ in there too.

  Per hundred miles, yes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ImageJ is great for stuff like that. Fiji is probably a better route for less fuss (Fiji Is Just ImageJ, plus some popular plugins)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Monkey Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Omg I just read about that the other day but I’m too stupid and forgetful… Something about the existence of inf + 1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to use GPUs over multiple computers for local AI?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I inadvertently emphasized your challenge :-/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to use GPUs over multiple computers for local AI?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey I built a micro -atx epyc for work that has tons of pcie slots. Pretty sure it was an ASRock (or ASRack). I can find the details tomorrow if you’d like. Just let me know!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like an allergen for ADHD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨speaking as someone who’s never watched grey’s anatomy, why is meredith grey often considered one of the first pick mes in history?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eves! Seven Eves!

  Do you remember if you liked Red Rising

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨speaking as someone who’s never watched grey’s anatomy, why is meredith grey often considered one of the first pick mes in history?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Seven Eves by Neal Stephenson

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨speaking as someone who’s never watched grey’s anatomy, why is meredith grey often considered one of the first pick mes in history?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to read sci-fi. You read any sci-fi? Anything you really liked?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨speaking as someone who’s never watched grey’s anatomy, why is meredith grey often considered one of the first pick mes in history?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I think I’m too stoned for lemmy.

  I love books though so ::thumbs-up::

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is fire?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually there’s a significant amount of ions in a flame, enough to make a little conductive. That’s where the plasma characterization comes from

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chad Loder. What a name!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn’t pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn’t usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it’s probably pretty broad.

  Anyway… that made me nice and sleepy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to know at what wavelengths. Did I miss it?

  It bugs me that they say ‘it’s not infrared - it’s photons!’ (paraphrasing).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flouride⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lead poisoning becomes evident pretty early though doesn’t it? (With respect to kids)

  I would think that the ratio of persistent exposure to unsafe level has got to be easily higher in cases like Flint than any fluoride-in-the-water usage. Just speculation on my part.

  What measures are taken to avoid screwing up the dosage, anyone know? Maybe predilute so that an oops requires multiple buckets instead of vials?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨flouride⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s profiting off of putting flouride in the water? What is this flouride industry making money hand over first?
