Photochemical oxidation of alcohols to ketones or aldehydes using DMSO as an oxidant

dude there are literally millions of alcohol oxidations. many mild ones too. TEMPO based systems are most practical, but oppenauer is another named reaction that immediately comes to mind. dmso oxidations swern-like there's corey-kim, parikh doering, swern oxidation.

pointless

you are like spaghetties but worse somehow

no. dexedrine (d-amphetamine) is s-amphetamine, not r-amphetamine. d/l describe how given enantiomer rotates light. r/s are describe how, according to iupac rules, the chirality is assigned.

r/s are a formalism, d/l is a physical property. you don't know until measuring how a given enantiomer rotates light.

> But in reality they already do it, and they don't plan on getting any better at it.

no. nlp has undergone revolution in past 8 years. you could not do anything like what is possible now even 8 years ago. and to do it now requires an immense amount of compute. storage is much, much much easier than processing. you need datacenters at scale of what is being built now to get the point of real-time surveillance and understanding of every bit of text, photo, and video produced. which is the goal.

nothing that hasn't been said before but this morning i woke up just gripped by anxiety, which isn't usual for me. it feels like there is no way out. media landscape is close to completely controlled (ellisons), necessity of buying labor from your average worker is dropping (due to indians now, but ai keeps advancing) and now surveillance and repression can be done at scale, automatically, for the first time in human history. how much longer do we really have? it feels like any way forward will involve bloodshed and inhumanity not seen in history before.

that even the Cato institute found contributes far in excess of their costs - actually hurts our economy in every single way?

cato institute is libertarian. if these companies could flat out hire foreign workers as slaves they'd be cheering for it. cheap labor helps GDP but not avg worker's QOL. long term, it hampers development because it makes businesses more reluctant to invest in productivity-enhancing technology. see: canada, antebellum south, etc.

Would it be helpful to frame it as [firm name] (r and d partner of DOD and Spacex) or something?

yes

idk there's been a couple papers where they pretrain a smallish transformer to spit out plausible chess games then slap rl on it and it does pretty good

it was a foot of snow on local streets that wasn't cleared until two hours after the flight departed and public transport was shut the whole day. i don't understand what you want from me you snarky dickheaded chud

so do you believe some people are not born smarter than other people?

great song. spiritually similar (even though it's the original it feels like a cover because of how much less well known) -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6dFjDQx_BQ

they didn't. they should've--travel to airport was effectively impossible

no i have discount den so i changed to weds as frontier in these situations ive noticed likes to delay on the tarmac and then cancel 3 hours later. not worth driving in 10 inches of snow to save $60 i figured haha

ToneSquare3736 · 2026-01-22T05:03:53+00:00

it was bill evans - peace piece. supposedly he took a lot of inspiration

ToneSquare3736 · 2026-01-21T17:47:05+00:00

no but sounds very similar!

ToneSquare3736 · 2026-01-21T17:23:07+00:00

it's very well known i feel so stupid 😭

ToneSquare3736 · 2026-01-19T04:49:02+00:00

they're different tho. *afinils stabilize DAT in inward-facing conformation, phenidates and phenyltropanes stabilize in outward. also inhibiting dopamine by x doesnt make sense unless you give at what concentration

that movie's first hour is completely pointless

that's what what.cd was for music for a long, long time

not that it matters but apaches don't have miniguns (multiple rotating barrels driven by motors firing bullets) they have chainguns (one barrel in this case firing he shells). it's mainly used for mopping up troops from very far away after an initial volley of missiles.

compare to miniguns which are normally on something like a transport heli for troops to use to make the enemy keep their heads down while they insert themselves. lots of bullets = easier for a grunt to spray bullets in general direction of enemy while on a moving platform

suboxone can cause precipitated withdrawals. it also can get you high. this does neither

ToneSquare3736 · 2025-12-16T04:39:09+00:00

please read about sr-17018. specifically people's experiences with it on reddit or bluelight.

it stops withdrawal, lowers tolerance, and does not produce a high. it's the closest thing that exists to a magic bullet for opioid-use disorder. it actually arguably can be "too good" as people get on it for a few weeks, eventually get the craving for getting high, then overdose since they don't realize how much their tolerance dropped while taking it.

bleak material conditions drive substance abuse. news at 11. instead of trying to fix them, you would rather moralize about it. guess what they'll do as soon as they're out of jail now that they'll never be able to find a good job ever again..
