Downvoted because it didn’t end with /s.

Physicists:

This is just Occam’s razor again: a hypothetical particle that can’t interact with anything, and therefore can’t be detected, doesn’t exist.

Also Physicists: 85% of the universe’ mass is missing!!!

“All female shark tank” is my new band name.

Just archive it and take up farming.

Let me say… I work in healthcare. I clean human waste. I’m not easily grossed out.

Come on Jo, we’ve talked about this. You’re supposed to call them patients.

I can still hear the penny dropping in my mind when I went from ‘How can anyone fall for that—it’s so obviously a scam…’ to ‘Oh, right…’ It sounded too Machiavellian to be true. I wonder if it was so carefully designed from the start, or a process of natural selection?

No inconvenience—I like these kinds of things but then another question had a typo in it (varx instead of var x) and one of the options was ‘Error’ but again that was incorrect. It’s probably worth running these snippets just to make sure :)

Q2: Which is more efficient? Code blocks do 2 different things so cannot compare. What gives?

No—this is a good resource for finding the next one closest to you. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html

If you’re in Europe, northern Spain in 2026 is the next best opportunity.

Just started running Arch + KDE on a Kingston Traveller to experiment with setup. Installed from live usb iso and then ran archinstall to the same device.

Runs nicely on my dell xps laptop and my desktop with 3 monitors connected to an Nvidia 1070Ti.

I’ve spent a few weeks on Lemmy/all blocking things I don’t care to see, and honestly it’s now pretty good. Plenty of diversity still and easier than subscribing plus occasionally new things pop up that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

If you’re imprecise enough, anything is about half the size of an adult giraffe.

All good points—did you mean “tiny violin mode”, or have I been misunderstanding that song for a long time?

Always. https://xkcd.com/378/

I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).

Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…

The paper mentioned how the images were processed (chopping 10% off some to remove name, age, etc). But all were from the same centre and only pixel data was used. Given the other work referenced on retinal thinning in ASD disorders, maybe it is a relatively simple task for this kind of model. But they do say using multi-centre images will be an important part of the validation. It’s quite possible the performance would drop away when differences in camera, etc. are factored in.

It’s a great analysis, and I don’t disagree with anything you said (mostly because you’re better informed than I am). But you nailed it with “Why would I need this? I don’t know yet.” It should all be driven by need—the fact their are more options is great, but doesn’t mean they should be used just because they’re there… For many hobbyists, ease of access and speed to get started is the main driver, and for those cases, pre-built boards are the answer.

I remember talking to a car manufacturer in the early 2000s who said it would be relatively easy to make cars to a custom length / load space. But they tend to make specific models because if you give people too much choice, they get paralysed and don’t choose anything.

I suspect it’s not quite that simple but the principle seems sound.

“Almost at the deadline” and starting to collect data. Sounds familiar.

What’s your research question? Your list of questions seem quite unfocused and broad.

It’s a big of a problem.
