frezik, to noncredibledefense in God I love it when Vatnik propaganda ages like milk

Not brothers like the twins in Breaking Bad. More like Data and Lore.

frezik, to science in Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will

Because every surgery has risks, including simple ones. In this case, there would be no direct medical reason to do so.

frezik, to technology in Right to repair's most unlikely opponents: Scientologists

They’ve had various models over the years, but yes, they’re all ohmmeters. Apparently, the current ones have updatable firmware for some reason, bringing us to OP.

This, right here, is really important. We already have otherwise useful things being bricked because the software is no longer updated, or worse, the company goes bankrupt. If that’s our future with brain implants, that’s going to be a big problem.

frezik, to technology in It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore

Facebook now fills half my page with the worst boomer memes. Then something updated and it scrolls the page right while I’m reading something. I don’t know why I even bother anymore.

frezik, to solarpunk in One month with a solar battery - real statistics

American houses are very well insulated for the most part. Triple pane windows are only marginally better than double.

Size is the biggest thing here.

The appliances are basically the same–no, American appliances don’t generally run on 120v–but I’ll bet average house size is the biggest thing.

But why?

It’s also because my fingers automatically type them for the sake of most other languages. Let me have my muscle memory.

If it can’t handle spaces and tabs without causing a crisis, it doesn’t belong on this side of 1989.

Also, some of the deep, highly abstract, functional techniques to reduce duplication are too clever for their own good. Your dev team might worship you as a programming God until someone needs to debug it. Back off on that, even if it means duplicating more code.

frezik, to technology in A.I.’s un-learning problem: Researchers say it’s virtually impossible to make an A.I. model ‘forget’ the things it learns from private user data

The “safeguard” would be “no PII in training data, ever”. Which is fine by me, but that’s what it really means. Retraining a large dataset every time a GDPR request comes in is completely infeasible.

frezik, to opensource in FreeBSD can now boot in 25 milliseconds

The advantages on the server side were always clear. Same with development environments for things that run on those servers.

The more interesting story here is that in 2023, FreeBSD was still using bubblesort. They made it go 100 times faster than a really slow thing, and we’ve known it’s slow for a long time.

frezik, to confidently_incorrect in Starfield player doesn't understand how gas giants work

IIRC, there’s some theories that there’s a diamond core at the center of some gas giants You could haul that out and tell DeBeers to go suck it.
