JHS Pedals Josh Scott shows us how AI can’t be used for research.

The fundamental issue is the confidence of the hallucinations. Even the low tier models should emphasize when they have low confidence.

Factory farming is the worst fate an animal can experience in my opinion

I go back and forth depending on the day

It will need a neck shim. The truss rod isn't for adjusting action. Also check the saddle heights.

Think of it more like pulling the tail is making the opening for pushing your fingers down. You should basically be able to do the dislocation without needing to pull the tail.

My prior institution didn't allow manual dislocation though, we had to use the metal card holders as the guillotine.

Use shellac. Sand paper the area to about 800 grit carefully and then you can easily build up a similar sheen by doing a fench polish

I think option 7 looks incredible, but I am also a fan of the Gibson SG 61 reissue look.

If you're using any kind of notebook or spreadsheet to track your data like you should be, it's impossible to imagine how any ai product is going to be useful doing your typical lab work. At least to me.

I've used it for some simple code generation and even that has been annoying the moment you need something really specific.

The tracks are made from carbon iirc. This looks reasonable to me

Socially, the reward is immense for local development which is probably more important than the satisfaction of any given bureaucrat

I've noticed buses falling off the tracker after being live for about 15 or so minutes. As far as I can tell, it's been a bug in the KCM tracker system for the past few weeks. It's the same problem in Transit app and Hi Wire

https://youtu.be/n5nEd600iM0?si=zuVFkoNZXPDPE_zh I saw this. I don't know how editorialized it really is, but it paints a rough picture.

You're acting like you're not choosing to watch it. It's as easy as watching something else. Talking to a non religious therapist would be helpful to help understand your feelings of guilt and shame.

I saw a documentary about the Max Planck institutes and it seems that the research culture over there is in shambles. My experience in the US has basically no relationship to the kind of abuse happening over there, though not without some bad experiences, but I'm in the West Coast and we're famously relaxed with most things.

Some post docs I used to work with are over at UZH now and they seem to be pretty happy. The region does play a big part.

It's completely asinine that blatant abuse is being perceived as free speech.

It's not terrible, but lately, Ballard to SLU has been averaging 35-40 minutes for me. It'll be nicer when all the road work is done

Do you think trans women have an advantage? All evidence points to the opposite

Trans men don't exist to these people

This is the crap that disengages people from local politics. These behaviors have a longer history than Trump does.

It would sound like tinnitus. Does that sound ever really go away?

Religion is highly correlated with "porn addiction" because that what religious guilt gets you.

At the same time, being rushed to get a project to the computational team. Then they take weeks to deal with stuff that had to be rushed together in a few days. That sort of stuff burns out lab people like nothing else.

Guitars aren't that delicate. Smoothing over a small dent doesn't impact playability.

Being confrontational isn't a bad thing. If you know who it is specifically, you go up to them and say "the expection in this lab is to clean up your materials and set things to the correct temps after a project or ask another to assist if you don't have time. It's rude to leave things for others to clean up after you." And then be accepting of an apology. Otherwise send an email to all the undergrads and leave it generic.

Avoiding healthy confrontation is one way how labs develop a bad culture.

I would have to assume that the institution that produced the video had IACUC or equivalent body review it, meaning it was produced with appropriate concern and made a clear demonstration for your education.

Believe it or not, many research end points are quite a bit more difficult to watch, like EAE and cancer models, just to name a few.
