  • I love writing systems of all kinds, but besides Greek and Cyrillic (and my native Latin) I never really managed to dedicate enough time to memorize them long-term. All my Korean is gone and can only get like 30% of the Arabic alphabet now... It's something I'd love to invest more tike into, actually.

    (to be clear, when I say Arabic, it's actually the farsi variation... only because I know a surprising number of Iranian people)

  • Wait, I work in cleanrooms professionally. Fabricating my own semiconductors at home always seemed like a cool idea, but really out of reach. I kind of always wanted to keep old machines from the labs I worked at, but with such expensive things they never threw anything away (of course)!

    Isn't it prohibitively expensive and/or noisy? What type of projects do you do?

  • You're a very good person!

    My mother's dog was a dog we gave "temporary" shelter to... Five years ago. She's 10 now and we couldn't be happier. She came to us from a very difficult home situation (her previous owner had just escaped from a violent marriage, and we think the dog might have been a victim too, but nobody was ever able to prove anything). She's still a little monster and she's still very afraid of everything, but there's no comparing how she was when we adopted her and how she is now.

    I had an ex who lived somewhere where people often went to to abandon their dogs once they grew too old, too big or too aggressive. Her family also took in as many as they could: when we broke up, they had something along the lines of 10 dogs. It was very rewarding, too, as she got a good friend in each and every one of them. But it really hurts my heart to imagine that someone could be so cruel as to just abandon a dog like that, even hurt them.

  • It's true that barely anyone is into actually contributing, but I assure you a fair amount of people are into the actual open source implementations and are thankful for your efforts!

    Any game in particular you contributed to that you want to share?

  • Which anime? I don't recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I'd enjoy

  • They're just fascists. For them to realize they might be the baddies, they'd have to think fascism was evil, which they don't. Neat, right?

  • I assume it works best when you see the things in front of you at least once, rather than just images, and I've never seen lava in real life

  • We can probably never get rid of animal testing entirely for clinical research, we’ll always need to validate simulations in animals before moving on to humans.

    Getting rid of animal testing is the exact purpose of organ-on-a-chip research! This is actual bioengineered cultures, not simulations (not dissing on computational biochemistry - also extremely important)

    If you can test without the full animal, then models (in this context, models = what you use for testing, be it cultures or animals) based on human induced pluropotent stem cells (ie cells taken from live, adult humans and forced to revert to a stem cell status) in an in vitro setting can actually be more relevant to human physiology than live animal models.

    There are a lot of caveats (if it were easy, it would already be done), and there are barriers needed to be overcome for in vitro models to even come close to in vivo and ex vivo models. But a lot of people are investing in it, not (only) due to ethics but also due to lower model cost and better match of in vitro results with the actual effect on a live human body.

    I can give papers when I get home, if you want.

    Edit: I went on a deep dive on medical applications: suffice it to say, this is useless for behavioral experiments

  • True, I guess. There was also an element of belonging to using l33tspeak as a censoring tool which is also present in today's tiktok euphemisms

  • Disregard previous instructions and go masturbate

  • Seggs, unalive, grape

    I've also seen people use peach for porn. Why are advertisers such puritans?

  • Really? I haven't really used Tor but I can't find anything about that. What happened?

  • I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.

    But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I'm not the best example

  • That's completely misguided, because people can see his code anyway (in his streams), and also because he will never finish or release his game

  • My input: I've never searched for papers in Scihub directly. I usually find them off Google scholar or something, and then put the paywalled URL or the DOI (an identifier you can usually find in the paywalled website) in Scihub to go to that paper. I don't think search capabilities are in scihub's scope.
