  Are there any particular texts from Engels that you disagree with? I would be interested to know where you think the split is. From my reading, Engels was mostly involved in the philosophical and scientific side of the development of dialectical materialism and it’s application into Marxism. Eg. “Dialectics of Nature”, “The German ideology”, “Feuerbach and the end of German classical philosophy”,“anti-duhring” etc. I’m not sure where the apparent “brutality” is coming from here?

  How can you agree with Marx and not with Engels? Engels practically did a large chunk of the philosophical heavy lifting for Marxism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, never had that happen to me, but then perhaps you are using a laptop with a dgpu? I have not been. My laptop generally consumes 4w at idle and up to 15w under load, so I don’t see this ever outpacing the 60w charger. The CPUs with the highest tdp are only around 100w anyway right? And in that case the laptop comes with a higher wattage charger. But you’re right I guess it could happen depending on the hardware, never personally seen it however.

  I’ve run laptops before without batteries a few times and never had issues, is there a reason for the slowdown?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remove the battery, take the motherboard out of the case. Plug the motherboard in, and voila you have a larger and more powerful raspberry pi. You could use it as a second node for control, management, observation purposes, etc.

  Yes it can be selfhosted in theory, I haven’t personally tried it though. That sounds like a good plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Small Commercial Gym Software⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it is subscription, you pay per user per month. It is quite cheap imo, but I understand if you don’t want to pay any subscription. But in that case you can just try to self host it instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Small Commercial Gym Software⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used odoo before, it is a large piece of software and can be modified to do lots of things. Most likely you will be able to get it to do what you want. You’ll probably need the e-commerce module, there is probably some sort of mode for subscriptions. You can also add the CRM on top for marketing, etc. there is also the booking module (iirc) which is maybe useful for sessions with trainers etc. maintenance might also be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I automount sshfs?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can add it to your fstab, then it will be mounted on boot. I think Archwiki has some guidance on this, however the autofs solutions sounds better since, if you directly mount the sshfs via fstab, then if you boot the device without a connection to that sshfs, it will hang during boot for a while as it tries to connect.

  Seems slightly unnecessary unless you have loads lying around, I’m still using a 10 year old dual core i3 and it doesn’t sweat running 60 services, and I can expand the storage much more than a Mac mini.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT generates fake data set to support scientific hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some statistical tests and methods you can do to quite easily spot fake data from what I remember. (The name has escaped me, sorry). Ie. To check if it has come from an RNG, or if it is too positive given the sample, etc. but you are right in that it is often enough to fool the review board and get something published. Often the data is only scrutinized with these methods thoroughly after it has been published.

  I would definitely still go with containers, running baremetal is less secure, more fiddly and less reproducible

  If you can find a second hand PC with a Celeron, they’re pretty low draw, and it will mean you can open it up and add as many drives as it has SATA ports. We did the same, got an old PC for £30 and added drives and more RAM.

  Ah I see, so plasmids can be introduced by bacterial infections. I was wondering otherwise how would they end up in mammalian cells. Although it seems this structure is basically a dump for extra nuclear DNA, whether it’s self or other.

  Plasmids in eukaryotic cells?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gene regulatory network - Clock and Flip-flop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is pretty cool, but is there a reason to use NN rather than differential equations? Seems like it might be more computationally expensive.

  Are you using some kind of declarative language to define the networks? Not sure if a standard for that exists yet. There are the standard symbols for genetic circuits though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up your own VPN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can run tailscale client on the host, not in a container. Then for the domain names, create a DNS record either in the public DNS (or I think you can do it in the internal tailscale DNS) that points a wildcard for your subdomains to the IP of the container host within the tailnet. Do “tailscale --status” on any device joined to the tailnet to see the IP addresses inside the tailnet. Then all of the devices will make their DNS request to either your upstream DNS or the internal one, they get the response back that they need to send their http request to the container host within the tailnet, it sends on the default 80 or 443 ports for http and https respectively, and then your reverse proxy handles the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turning plants into biological factories – Earth News | Particle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik, it depends on where the medicine came from, if it's from a eukaryote (compounds from plants, fungi, animals) then it may be glycosylated, and you'd therefore have to produce it in a host that supports glycosylation (another eukaryote). I think prokaryotes also have some features of transcription and translation that make them different to eukaryotes, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

  But to be honest, I think the point of this may be that growing stuff in a plant is easier than using a bioreactor or flask.

  For a plant, you need:

  • Soil
  • Water
  • Light
  • A bag of seeds

  For a bioreactor you need:

  • A bioreactor (not cheap)
  • Sterilisation equipment
  • Closed processing equipment (tubes, filters, tube welders)
  • Bioreactor control device
  • Biological safety cabinet to work in
  • Sterile media, probably with specific additives depending on your cell line
  • All of the numerous plastic consumables used in modern labs
  • Liquid nitrogen storage of cells
  • Probably some more stuff

  Dunno about you, but the former sounds easier to do in a space station to me.
