  • Mark Zuckerberg indicates Meta is spending billions of dollars on Nvidia AI chips
  • Just like the Metaverse...this won't have legs.

  • It's official: Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes | TechCrunch
  • Obsidian is awesome. It won't meet everyone's needs, but I love the lightweight simplicity of it. But it's also extremely extensible with add-ons if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

  • "A strive for continuous improvement" vs "good enough". How Japanese quality came to trump America post-ww2
  • I'm not a machinist and probably shouldn't comment. But I saw your post and it reminded me of the movie Blackberry. It's about mobile phones, but the spirit of what you're talking about features in it, and I think you might enjoy it.

  • In the end, the FTX trial was about the friends screwed along the way
  • Yup. Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, same thing. If they'd only endangered patients, they'd have gotten away with it.

  • Horrors Beyond Comprehension
  • One of the better AI images I've seen.

  • Reproducibility trial: 246 biologists get different results from same data sets
  • I worked in medical research for a while. I was just a lowly technical assistant with a bachelor's degree, not a doctor or PhD.

    But wow, it was eye opening. In the hunt for grant money, folks with letters after their names will massage that data and "reframe" the questions in myriad ways chasing desired outcomes.

    Fortunately, peer review tears some of that bullshit apart. So, science works when done correctly. But, the replication crisis looms large, and I am skeptical of a lot of research papers and science journalism to this day.

  • HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on printers when ink runs low
  • I've had the best luck with Brother laser printers. For scanning, I highly recommend NAPS2. It's free, and so much better than the vendor software that comes with the scanners I've used.

  • Why Does Flying Suck so Much? | Robert Reich
  • It's frustrating because it's something universally agreed upon... yet we pretend it can't be fixed. If every single person would simply refuse to fly for 3 to 6 months (exceptions given for emergencies and essential travel) it would 100% get their attention. Voting with our wallets is our super power, but we almost never do it in any organized manner. People are pretty selfish and entitled when it comes to their travel plans, unfortunately. Tragedy of the commons.

  • Does anyone know why we’re defederated from beehaw.org?
  • My experience on Beehaw so far is that 80% of them are nice and 20% of them are Portlandia characters.

  • Is anyone surprised at the response in Maui?
  • Widespread power outages there.

  • Webb May Have Spotted Supermassive Dark Stars. The ‘dark stars' are theorized to be made of hydrogen and helium but powered by dark matter heating rather than by nuclear fusion. Dark matter is the mys
  • It's somewhat controversial. I think the majority of astrophysicists say dark matter is probably or even likely real. But there are a small and growing number who dispute this and say the standard model needs revision, and we possibly misunderstand or miscalculate gravity models over vast distances. Sabine Hossenfelder on YouTube has some interesting videos about it.

  • What's a band that you like that was gone way too soon?
  • Traveling Wilburys. I know a supergroup of old guys is kind of cheating as an answer to your question. But it's a shame they weren't able to record more.

  • What's the Lemmy app closest to RIF?
  • Liftoff is working pretty well for me. Supports multiple accounts, fairly intuitive UX.

  • No porn
  • Lady you look like Marilyn Manson I doubt many would be interested in your porn.

  • A record-high number of 40-year-olds in the US have never been married, study finds | CNN
  • Honestly it's smarter not to. Why get the law involved in your intimate relationships. I know there are some benefits (I'm married) but generally not worth it for anyone but the divorce lawyers.

  • Discussing the Batman Arkham series
  • Some of my all time favorites. If you enjoyed these, you will probably like the Spider-Man games, too.
