  • lol I’m too used to DoE referring to Department of Energy I didn’t connect that it’s the same acronym.

    The current admin is also attacking the department of energy because they do a lot of climate and renewable energy research. But that’s among many, many other things they do.

  • I hope whoever is considering cutting the DoE realizes that among the many, many things they do is nuclear weapons research

  • I will absolutely pick up other peoples trash if it’s somewhere like the wilderness. They should have picked it up themselves but I’m there now and that trash shouldn’t be there.

  • When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

  • I was able to quiet mine with a bash script until eventually a software update changed the fan control to keep it quiet for me.

  • I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.

  • There are advantages to getting server-grade hardware. It’s designed to run 24/7, often supports more hard drives, ram sticks, processors, etc, and often is designed to make it very quick to replace things when they break.

    You can find used servers on sites like EBay for reasonable prices. They typically come from businesses selling their old hardware after an upgrade.

    However, for simple home use cases, an old regular desktop PC will be just fine. Run it until it breaks!

  • Is there a way out?

    Jump

  • A lot of this is kinda already happening.

    Score could be kept with citations.

    This is already something people brag about / look at as a measure of success. There are plenty of free websites to keep track but the most popular one is Google Scholar.

    Perhaps competing labs could both receive citation credit if their results essentially showed the same thing.

    When I find multiple good papers that have the information I need, I cite all of them, and even feel happy about it because citing a lot of papers can make your paper look like you put in more work.

    If nobody could scoop anyone else's work, then cooperation may be encouraged over competition.

    It’s a bit hard to completely do away with scooping. A possibly more practical way to increase cooperation would be to eliminate the idea of the “first author” getting the majority of the credit. It’s really annoying when like 5 people heavily contributed to the paper but whoever’s name is listed first ends up getting 90% of the credit because that’s what people look for.

    The idea of doing things in a wiki format is interesting though.

  • That’s assuming the user knows that and didn’t just buy a prebuilt tower from Costco, and that it isn’t a laptop or something where changing the motherboard is much harder if not impossible.

  • Leaked Apple meeting shows how dire the Siri situation really is

    Jump

  • Honestly I don’t really want a smart context-aware Siri, I just want something I can give simple, straightforward voice commands to, and get predictable, reliable results.

  • Half-Life 2 RTX and all of its foggy, ray-traced lighting is getting a demo next week

    Jump

  • Agreed. In the video a lot of the “RTX Off” scenes look better IMO.

  • Does the “New 3DS” still have backwards compatibility with the DS? It might be safer to go with a 3DS/3DSXL/2DS.

  • Am in the only one who cringes at install instructions that require piping some curl output into bash?

    Jump

  • It isn’t more dangerous than running a binary downloaded from them by any other means. It isn’t more dangerous than downloaded installer programs common with Windows.

    TBH macOS has had the more secure idea of by default using sandboxes applications downloaded directly without any sort of installer. Linux is starting to head in that direction now with things like Flatpak.

  • I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it

    Jump

  • Honestly when I’m dubious of the quality of a product, I look for the negative reviews. If the only negative reviews are people clearly being dumb or really minor gripes, I take that as a good sign. If there are very few or no negative reviews, that’s a red flag that something fishy is going on.

  • You are supposed to not get caught by the emmis. The slim chance to escape once you’ve been caught is just to add some extra drama.

  • If Hoyo signed the SAG agreement then they would have to either force the non-SAG actors to join SAG against their will or replace the non-SAG actors with a SAG actor

    That’s not how unions work.
