- Comment on Technology for lab-grown eggs or sperm on brink of viability, UK fertility watchdog finds 2 days ago:
iirc the main issue with familial reproduction is that, since families are likely to share much of the same genes, they are likely to share much of the same recessive genes. Invisible in individuals with just one copy, the union of two such individuals can create an individual with two copies, which means the trait is expressed.
If it is cloning, that is fine, but if it remixes the DNA, It could potentially cause expression of recessive traits? I think?

Secure against imagined threats from the Eastern hemisphere? lol
Secure against very real threats from America? Definitely.

- Comment on Sweden starts building 100,000 year storage site for spent nuclear fuel 1 week ago:
I mean, really the only thing that’s gonna expose them is plate tectonics. Just to give a sense of scale, America and Europe are diverging by 4 cm/yr, so will be 500 metres farther from each other, horizontally, in about 10,000 years. Geologically stable regions (called cratons) would not experience such motion vertically for much, much, much longer.

Now I have no gun and $1,300 to lose in a mugging! :D
- Comment on GenCast predicts weather and the risks of extreme conditions with state-of-the-art accuracy 1 month ago:
Yeah, they could certainly use more resolution in their data, I’m sure they wish for it all the time.
But to pick on your example, they have certain requirements for specifically how they take the temperature which explains at least some of the discrepancy between them and your thermometer. For example, the thermometer must be in shade, must be iirc 2 metres off the ground, things like that.
- Comment on GenCast predicts weather and the risks of extreme conditions with state-of-the-art accuracy 1 month ago:
One thing that always bothers me about weather forecasts is they are not very specific, 24 or even 12 hours into the future. Like, they are correct that it will rain, but then somehow that rain always just misses me, and goes a few miles to the south, or something. Or it stops just a few miles shy of me.
If this can give more specific forecasts in the immediate future, that’ll be nice to see.
- Comment on Swiss court recognises obesity as a disability under certain conditions 2 months ago:
You are so brave for expressing your sense of superiority for checks notes not having a genetic predisposition to gain weight. Your body is less efficient at extracting calories from food that passes through you. Your hunger response is not as strong as other people’s which makes it easier to abstain from eating. Wow that’s so amazing, you have such impressive willpower. Calories in calories out amirite? /s
- Comment on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says he and Donald Trump 'see eye to eye' on Iran 2 months ago:
See, this is the problem with liberals. Kamala made absolutely no indication she would check Israel’s aggression. It’s wishful thinking based on no evidence. But she lost so she can be whatever liberals want now, she’s full of endless possibilities.

- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 2 months ago:
The difference in relative acceleration implied by the meme is on the order of tens of yoctometres (10⁻²³ m) per second per second.
It’s a difference so small that it would be overshadowed by the fact that you’re holding one object femtometres higher or lower than the other in the gravitational field.
Additional sources of error to consider at this scale might be the heat radiation from the surroundings providing radiation pressure on the object, the sloshing of Earth’s core causing time-dependent variations in the gravitational field, the location-dependent variations in the Earth’s gravitational field, and the difference in centrifugal (yes, centrifugal in this reference frame) force due to latitude differences of one micrometre, and also due to natural variations in the rate of Earth’s rotation over time.

I had one professor who could tell almost any calculator model from 30 feet away. Other than him I never had any professor care about the specific model of calculator during an examination.
- Comment on PSI 7 months ago:
It’s not so much the force that is important, regardless of if it’s normalized for body size, it’s the pressure that does damage. psi (or Pa in SI) is the appropriate unit.

- Comment on Colorado streams are being loaded with "toxic" heavy metals 8 months ago:
They put it in quotation marks, because it’s a quotation. They’re indicating it’s not themselves calling it toxic, it’s another source, in this case, the study.
- Comment on Applications 8 months ago:
The definitions often exclude 1. In the case where you include it you could then say a semi prime has exactly three factors.
- Comment on Applications 8 months ago:
Presumably if they’re the product of exactly two factors then those factors would have to be prime, otherwise it wouldn’t be exactly two.
