- Comment on GN's GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to try to make up for the lost traction! 5 days ago:
100%. I’m a microbiologist so I asked ChatGPT to teach me about CRISPR. It was not great.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 6 days ago:
I think this is a really good idea. A baby server for every privacy concerned house. Make it simple enough that customizing software features is like putting together Legos, but leave in the potential for complexity as some users grow.
- Comment on We Investigated Tesla’s Autopilot. It’s Scarier Than You Think - More Perfect Union 1 week ago:
You know what really pisses me off? Some of the newer models have radar built in again (no ultrasound though). Tesla just doesn’t use it.
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 1 week ago:
I’d prefer to feed them but I’m sure we can find volunteers to feel them too.

You can rent the space for only $1600/month in San Francisco!
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 1 week ago:
Same. I loudly exclaimed “FUUUUUUCK” as I read the article, much to the confusion of my partner.
- Comment on Practice makes perfect 1 week ago:
Fuck yeah it does. I learned better emotional regulation and how to analyze, form, and deconstruct arguments thanks to Reddit’s general argumentative douchebaggery. Now I’m an even more insufferable prick than ever!
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
Same, though this will be the push the community needs to really launch a Linux phone. It’ll suck for awhile, but I’m looking forward to debating phone distros with all of you.

Well, we’re all reasonably intelligent people. Let’s collectively brainstorm!
It looks like masking with a random pattern made to look like dirt or debris is an option.
To negate night reads, how about 2-4 layers of optical polarizing film, each transverse to the previous plane of polarization? Alternately, a coating with a visible light transparent, IR opaque pigment.
- Comment on when ur higher than sagan 3 weeks ago:
They should be fine anyhow if homeopathy really works. They just need to take a little train material, serially dilute it to 10⁻²⁰ strength, then take it with sugar pills. Train immunity!

Racisms per minute (RPM)?
- Comment on i just think they're neat 3 weeks ago:
I was surprised to see them called inedible. The young gourds are tender and taste like squash.

We really need a spreadsheet to track all this shit.
- Comment on It's why the thrift store has so many of them 4 weeks ago:
Use linesman’s gloves and don’t unplug them first for extra effects!
- Comment on Dogs need love too 4 weeks ago:
I’m only more likely to do something like this when high because I’m already likely to do something like this when not high.
- Comment on Which way? 4 weeks ago:
It’s chemical cauterization. The phenol kills the cells responsible for growing new nail.
- Comment on Permian Park 4 weeks ago:
I was going to say the same about Cambrian biota, but it would be faster, cheaper, and less horrifying to simply make more movies based on H.P. Lovecraft novels.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 4 weeks ago:
Sort by new and you’ll find it’s a bunch of Germans too. Ich liebe meine deutschen Freunde der Nacht.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s interesting if you’re into etymology or language in general.
Broccolo is the Italian term for the brassica flower crest and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning sprout in a botanical context. Broccoli as a surname can mean their ancestors were broccoli farmers, soldiers as a brocco is the center of a shield, carpenters as it can refer to a type of nail, or even arborists as it can be the stump left after cutting off a tree limb. Italian is a very old language, the associations get wild.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 4 weeks ago:
That’s what the Broccoli family (of James Bond fame) claims, but it’s contested. The James Bond IP is the source of their wealth.

I’m unemployed, I have ALL the time. Looking forward to watching tapes slowly play…

- Comment on Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows 5 weeks ago:
Disabled, vehemently anti-AI enby here. The only thing I’m good at professionally is being a great big brain, so taking knowledge work away from me makes me angry.
- Comment on Alexa, how do I remove cooties? 5 weeks ago:
I like us building alternatives on the internet. The fediverse makes me hopeful again.
- Comment on This 81-year-old still works at Home Depot to support herself and her 90-year-old husband 5 weeks ago:
Don’t forget that capitalism is literally the only viable economic system, full stop. Before its advent in 1463 by Bernard H. Capital, nothing worked, anywhere, for tens of thousands of years. The world was in turmoil. Cats associated freely with dogs, the Keebler elves were not properly enslaved, and humans lived on a diet of pine needles, grubs, and sea water. Pure madness.
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 1 month ago:
No no, you don’t get it. Every single person in the world must love it for it to be the greatest game. Until that day, they’re just pretenders.

- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 1 month ago:
Microscopes are crucial for diagnosing infections but can cost millions of pounds, making them entirely inaccessible for many people across the globe.
Good article but this stood out as a massive exaggeration. They can cost millions, much like a car can cost millions, but I can pick up a microscope sufficient for most clinical laboratory work for around $200-300. A cheap epifluoresence microscope can be acquired for around $2k.
Still an inaccessible amount for many, but it’s several orders of magnitude cheaper.
- Comment on Jury orders Tesla to pay $329m to plaintiffs in deadly 2019 Autopilot crash 1 month ago:
Reading an article on Musk’s erratic, ridiculous behavior from over a year ago makes me pine for the world’s previous level of insanity.
