  You got me, I never watched it

  I’m wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).

  Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract’s ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there’s going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

  Netflix’s Chernobyl is by people who realized this and kinda conveyed the message.

  The ones in the Palladium shopping mall are very similar.

  My sister, a dentistry student, got one in a promo event. It glows when you walk by to remind you to brush. Drove me nuts.

  Also, it’s cropped to 16:9, hopefully on a per-shot basis at least.

  The other guard lies on even days.

  I’m sure many rely on it for a good reason. A food delivery company in my country partners with a charity to enable phone orders and free delivery to the elderly.

  Judging from the context, allowing one’s chest to be used as a pillow.

  Many never find out. And not alwaya because they’re actually the normal ones.

  The result entirely depends on who’s reliving that day until they have its best possible outcome. Watch Edge of Tomorrow for a documentary of how that happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Human rights organizations and many high-profile news outlets have reported on this. See citations in the relevant Wikipedia article section. Reuters even has an article with video evidence.

  That said, Hamas does this too and their surrender is probably the best we could hope for to further peace talks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but Israel is also known to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, such as when crossing a suspected minefield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See where your tax dollars go⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If human food is comparable, a healthy diet would probably be more expensive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Renumbering characters during font minimization? I haven’t encountered that, it would break searching and copying.

  Anyway, PDFs for example don’t even say whether a line of text is left, center or justified – they usually store the coordinates of the first character and then spacing to each subsequent one unless defined by the font.

  And what if the document contains text boxes, or other Word objects? Well, the text is separate from the underlying rectangle (if there is one) and it’s up to the conversion tool to guess if it’s part of the main text layer.

  Sorry, it’s really hard to edit PDFs. You might want to use Inkscape for editing the graphical parts. If you also need to edit paragraphs, I suggest recreating the document by pasting them into Word/LibreOffice, and importing any graphical shapes as SVGs (use Inkscape for the conversion, then you can try Word’s “Graphic > Convert to Shapes” feature).

  Really, every software that uses PDF should treat it as an export format, hopefully making it clearer that “saving as PDF” is a visually lossless but structurally lossy and messy process.

  At least physics will never get patched. The spark device with zinc spheres will always do that thing.

  Half of the field is viable thanks to a single algorithm: FFT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Due to American politics I'm afraid of using high speed rail in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I travelled with DB to enjoy the 2022 9-€ Ticket. The cross-border train ČD drove into Germany got stopped in the first city and got cancelled because it “didn’t meet standards”. I mean, it was missing a car, there was no AC, it was super loud and crowded, but it was a train and went on time. DB’s replacement was literally nothing so I was stuck waiting in Schwandorf for an hour. This happens dozens of times every year.

  Meanwhile, my trip last year was an orderly experience, probably because I went through former East Germany via Dresden instead. Communists did a lot of bad shit but they understood the power of trains (and streetcars).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you take him for a walk?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandma was a disabled stay-at-home mom with a hyperactive daughter who tended to run away and wreak havoc, and all the police would soon know who to return her to. Grandma was scolded by neighbors for using a leash but able to explain herself. This was in 1970s Czechoslovakia.

  It’s now believed that he altered the data, since they fit the 1:3 ratios way too well for populations where each has a ¼ probability. Still, very good work considering he might not have heard of the scientific method.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frigging peas 🫛⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, they were considered “lewd”. And now we know that the genetics of rats is way too complex for him to spot any patterns.

  He also attempted to study bees but they were nasty, and he didn’t know that they mate while flying, rendering his breeding attempts fruitless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨max upload size?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uploading video to Lemmy is hard. Size limit aside, unless it’s very short, you need it to be VP9 in WebM or ffmpeg times out. The default max frame count is just 900, too.
