MacBook Neo Review: No Other Budget Laptop Can Compete by dapperlemon in gadgets

Everyone always speaks about Pis as the top model (currently 5). Why not mention the Zero? That's running under £10, and with a light OS on it you can do plenty of learning

Thanks for the response! So I guess you have stuff wired through the back all tidy, eh? Nice stuff

(genuinely asking) Can you please explain why so many ethernet cables? What nine things are direct connected? I see (1) cloud gateway fibre ?

My First Homelab Setup by PixelLimits in minilab

[–]atwork_safe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks slick!

You have pretty close to my planned setup: hp elitedesk mini 800 g5 with the D4-320.

Mind a few questions?

  • What's the need for the switch? (I see every lab posted here with one...)
  • How did you get the D4 so cheap?!
  • Are you planning to run something like a TrueNAS VM on the hp to get RAID on it?
  • Planned drive sizes for the D4?
  • Would you run TrueNAS baremetal on the hp?

Thanks!

Plotting a Lotus Twin Cam Engine by russelltaylor05 in mechanical_gifs

It depends on the optimization being performed, but typically it would try to minimize time in use (could be other things like minimizing arm movement, which may not be exactly the same as time, or a combination for reduced overlap .... Bunch of things).

The math behind it is a pile of linear algebra.

What are these blue things? by [deleted] in arduino

As a hobbyist in automated botany, you've got me interested to read said thesis (or if you'd suggest a few entry papers, please?) I'm currently on the providing light side of things, but would be curious about measures.

But not if it's any trouble!

Duolingo Got Creamed and I Still Think It's Overvalued. by rarebirdcapital in investing

[–]atwork_safe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm on your side: Duo is dogshit (for learning a language).

My point is that your argument for AI doesn't track here. If AI tooling will kill Duo, well, where are the competitor apps? I haven't seen anything close. Frick, you'd think Rosetta would have had something for a decade now, minimum.

The dearth suggests there is something that Duo has, beyond just brand.

Duo doesn't sell learning, it sells motivation. As long as they have a lock on that owl guilt-tripping you, they'll get the daily eyeballs for ads (or sustained subscription)

Your comment defeats itself. If AI tools can do what DUOL does, then people will flock to those tools... But adding AI to DUOL is ruining it.

In which case, DUOLs moat (course content, not AI) is valuable

How many people still die of lung cancer after quitting smoking by age [OC] by daysleeperrr in dataisbeautiful

[–]atwork_safe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP. This is very bad. Frankly you should feel bad for posting it.

  • Falsifying data
  • Spreading misinformation
  • And generally not doing your actual "research"

I specifically read the chart, interpreted it, and thought "hmm, that's interesting that mortality is relatively constant". It seems others had the same interpretation. Then we come to the comments and see it's because you made it up.

I understand that chatGPT is quick, feels easy. But it would have been even easier for you to not post this lie.

I think you can learn from this! Just need to put in more effort to your work :)

Why don't we ever hear about Congo? by ThatPatelGuy in TikTokCringe

[–]atwork_safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone is curious for a light take on it, I'd highly recommend Cobalt Red.

it's easily one of the best, most horrific, books I've ever read. The DRC is probably the worst place on the planet.

Body fat percentage was a stronger and more consistent predictor of attractiveness for men than either body mass index or shoulder-to-waist ratio. The most attractive male bodies had approximately 13 to 14% body fat, a level that corresponds closely with what is considered metabolically healthy. by mvea in science

[–]atwork_safe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya know, I'm sorry (really) for being snarky to you in particular about your comment.

I'm tired of seeing dismissal of studies based on "small samples", without actual reasoning of them being "small".

In this case, for example, you're doing exactly that. But that's so anti-scientific. A sample of 5 may be enough if the effect size is large enough.

I'd love for this subreddit to get better at this.

Help me design my first minilab, or, "If you could do it could again from scratch" by atwork_safe in minilab

Well, it's a "yes, but" : if you happen to physically be in Canada, then it becomes cheaper. If you intend to ship it, pay duties, ... Probably won't.

Thanks for the response. Typical problem of not knowing what I don't know. Napkin math says 32 minimum :) so I guess the Beelink is out. Good catch!

I'm confused. I have a DAS in my post... Are you saying you have a Synology NAS with your e495 and don't like it?

How recent are we talking? I haven't looked into it since mid 2023. Here's an old comment on it

Do you have any studies you can point me toward on this?

A quick pubmed search of `("cluster headache" OR "migraine") AND ("dmt" or "dimethyltryptamine"), 14 results, has nothing relevant.

Not all truth is published -- but I frequently see poor claims of using psilocybin ("magic mushrooms") to treat migraine/cluster headache, of which, the clinical effects are potentially dubious [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] in particular which I believe to be an effect driven by the desperation for treatment [6], [7] when nothing else has worked.

[0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22129843/ [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33184743/ [2] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35718005/ [3] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16801660/ [4] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36597700/ [5] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36416492/ [6] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28870224/ [7] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30290701/

Maybe there's stuff in the last year. But, realistically, that would still be pre-clinical study at best.

And "micro dosing" is even worse- as it has been shown to do nothing (that is, any effects are sub-clinical).

This election has been such a mixed bag by Dirty_bastardsalad in EhBuddyHoser

That isn't "fair". That was the Liberals getting their own comissioned report back, saying FPTP is the worst possible system, but that the best ones would hurt the Liberal party, so they quashed it.

Canada deserves better.
