  • i'd say it's more important to learn mechanisms because this way you can notice these patterns of reactivity easier. at some point you'd only get new reactions that are really just pieces of other reactions you know put in a new way

  • there's zero reason to make chart like this, it's both barely comprehensible and touching surface level stuff only (where are palladium couplings for one)

  • i mean it would be hard to imagine 20 years ago precise ways things could get worse, and then

  • is there something you don't understand? it doesn't fucking matter what russians claim to have tested, you as nato resident are protected by nato's ability to evaporate moscow and moscow residents survival instinct, meaning that they won't start shit if they want to remain not evaporated. it works in any number of ways between any number of nuclear states, and can't be undone

  • nothing. safety of people in nato is guaranteed by a several of icbms somewhere in wyoming or in some submarine with putin's name on them. self-preservation is a mighty powerful instinct, and it worked for entire cold war. will easily work for a couple of decades more

  • you know, in comparison dubya at least tried to have this kind of diplomatic subtlety that is nowhere to be found in current administration

  • ahem. h5n1 for ferrets was probably made because ferrets turn out to have immune systems similar enough to humans, in that they do get (common strains of) flu and transmit it by sneezing, that is ferrets are good model organisms for flu vaccine development. so if regular ferrets don't catch h5n1, then you have to modify either virus or ferret because otherwise it won't work. it's not some random virologist deciding to wage biological war against fuzzy noodle critters

  • if only, maupin spoke on a conference in teheran next to dugin and publishes his books. the layer of red paint on brown couldn't be possibly thinner. see also: jackson hinkle, maga-communism. i wish everyone involved nice tuberculosis infection in damp ukrainian prison

  • behold: vibe driving (or maybe it's just DUI for silicon)

  • It’s funny (read: farcical) to see a person posing as leftist say they are “pro-AI” but “anti-AI industry”.

    not looking to start instance war or anything btw

    iirc one of db0 admins is of this opinion which boils down to, in their case, that they're pro-ai but only if self-hosted (ie "yes, i'm pro-ai, just not pro-the kind of ai that is actually used in 99.9% ai output"). they join it with pro-piracy and anarchist positions and it's part of the reason why ai content is allowed on that instance. iirc it's not even consensus among their other admins

  • you can just put a flywheel on synchronous machine and it also works, especially where you have infra left over after coal plant shutdown or something similar

  • they might have done it this way because hydro, nuclear (or any steam turbine based) or gas (or any gas turbine based) generation is rotating generation, which helps to stabilize grid in a way that solar or (some of) wind power doesn't. on top of that, many of solar installations won't output energy without mains (grid-followers). getting rid of that would be a is a complex problem that would require infrastructure buildout and policy changes

  • there were reports of roombas not getting up because us-east-1 was down, don't be so surprised

  • random sample of 1000 people is a decent one, they even included error bars:

    The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95 per cent confidence level.

  • why is aweful systemes broken today? does it depend on aws somehow?

  • i heard from reliable source (ed zitron) that he has one

  • tldr is that anthropic spent on aws only 2x their revenue in 2024, spent on aws approx the same as their revenue in 2025 up to september, and they also pay unknown amount but known to be a lot for google cloud, on top of everything else like salaries and who the fuck knows what else
