frezik, to mildlyinfuriating in The fact that people this stupid exist

It could, but it’s also improving on something your immune system already does. Out of all the trillions of cells undergoing division in your body all the time, a few of them go cancerous each and every day. Your immune system almost always takes them out. It’s the one time out of a bajilion that things go wrong.

frezik, to technology in Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft crashes into Moon

A couple years back, Putin promised to put a Russian on the moon. A good question is “with what rocket?”

Turns out, an even better question is “with what communications system?” A factor in this crash is that they lack a round-the-world comm system. They can only communicate when the moon is visible over Russia. It’s a big country, of course, but not big enough for 24/7 communication.

There are cancer vaccines already approved and many more in trials. There is no singular “cancer”, though, so they have to work through each type individually.

There are some promising efforts for vaccines against cancer. It’s teaching your immune system to kill cells that were supposed to die on their own. It’s a relatively recent development, though.

Plus, as should always be stated with cancer treatments, there is no singular “cancer”. It’s a class of related problems that need to be handled individually. Vaccine against prostate cancer shouldn’t be expected to work against breast cancer. Anything that claims to cure cancer in a blanket way should be treated with great suspicion.

frezik, to technology in A key feature of NFTs has completely broken / Web3 was supposed to make sure the original artist always got paid. Not so much anymore.

NFTs have no place at all. There has yet to be any good suggestion on what they should be used for that isn’t served by something else just fine. Or if not “fine”, then at least solves no problem that would make it better. Not in-game items, not ticket sales, not silly ape pictures.

So the guy on Reddit who told me I better get with the NFT game or be left behind in a year was full of shit?

frezik, to technology in Masculine Policy: The GOP’s Plan To Outlaw ‘Porn’ And Suspend The First Amendment

Oh, no, you’re spot on. Democrats have actively kept leftists from getting traction in the party. There’s a huge age gap between Bernie and AOC with no real progressives in between them. And they’re not even that far left.

They won the overall popular vote for the House by 2.8% in a midterm election with a somewhat unpopular President from the opposite party plus economic turmoil. The standard assumption would be that they’d blow it out. In the 2018 midterms, Democrats won the popular vote for the House by almost 10% under somewhat similar circumstances.

Biblical Satan, not the real one.

frezik, to technology in Selling sealed pack unused ssd

They’re selling it, not auctioning it.

frezik, to games in Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭

Would it be so bad if games didn’t have insane budgets? Most of my favorite games from the past decade are from small studios operating on pizza and hope.

frezik, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

Great. So the other 5M times women come forward like this can be ignored because one time it was proven otherwise.

frezik, to technology in HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response, ESMC, & Starfield x AMD GPUs

FWIW, Luke was clearly trying to prod Linus into acknowledging the problem of the “trust me, bro” warranty on the WAN show instead of treating it like a joke. I think he was also making some expressions of dissatisfaction about how that cooler block review was handled, which is a major part of this.

Obviously, there’s only so far he can push things on his employer’s platform. Plus, the two of them have been friends for a long time. But I do wonder if he’s going to break in the not so distant future.

frezik, to technology in What is the best file format for configuration file?

That works if you have a small, disciplined team. As the team grows and it becomes harder to enforce standards, config files that are run through the language compiler easily get filled with programming statements that shouldn’t be in a config file.

I was almost ready to be with you, but after reading the tweet from Madison elsewhere in the thread, Linus is going to have to go above and beyond to fix things.
