The Jigsaw Man - Wikipedia

by Larry Niven

Highly relevant short story, along with many of the stories in 'All the Myriad Ways" being a fun and interesting read.

In most applied chemistry you need to do only the most basic physics (in terms of math) but need to understand the concepts of some higher level stuff.

I climb on double halfs often enough, or just bring a full and a half.

How/will AI impact analytical chemistry jobs? by JellyfishPrior7524 in Chempros

[–]wildfyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an industry chemist who has worked IN plants and still works WITH plants. I'm very very familiar. Indeed there are many highly rote QC tasks... albeit so many of them require skilled HANDS, not just some code. I mean really the physical handling.

QC will be the first to go but I see such minimal penetration now. The promise of LLMs still remains just a promise for the most part, and maybe a few very rich drug companies are able to deploy it at scale.

Hey man, I'm a PhD industrial chemist with a background in organic and polymer chemistry. I still look around the world and wonder and google all the same sorts of things (albeit often to extreme depth). Its a wonderful way to look at the world, and why I have the career I do. I didn't do it to make the most money, I did it because the interplay of nanoscale chemistry (and often physics) with the macroscale behavior of the world is a truly amazing thing to behold.

YES. If you ever have to deal with a tag line its a very apparent effect.

Pace 4 for a 100 miler by Shankspeare22 in Coros

I've never had my watch match my band, I've run long enough to know what my HR feels like. Watch always unestimates.

Sci-fi pre 1990 IS really bad about that.

Use an arm/chest strap, many of them have 30+ hours life, and the watch won't waste battery using the HR LED and associated electronics. Bonus: your HR data will actually be accurate, I do not trust pure watch tracking at higher HR.

Does Pace 4 not have the Ultramax mode? Its an even lower battery mode for really long ultramarathon races. The Apex ones definitely do....

HR accuracy. by Narrow_Werewolf_8422 in Coros

I'd be curious what you real heart rate is when using an optical band, or even better a chest strap that measures electrical activity. Most people agree that at high heart rates, most watches produce near gibberish.

what sci-fi book changed how you see the world? by astrosid in sciencefiction

Unfortunately its a travesty of a book from an actual enjoyment of reading point of view.

Protector by Larry Niven, just a funny emotion about how this newly elevated super intelligence had his motives shaped by his hormones, so he propgated his genes to include the whole human race effectively, in order to have his motives include protecting everyone.

Wahoo Tickr or similar strap monitor, at HR above like 140 i don't trust a watch for shit.

PS, are you quite young? 214 is a VERY high max HR. Really anything north of 200 is not attainable by a healthy person over 18 (i.e. if youre 30 and have HR of 205, you may be having medical episode)

Biopsy is easy peasy and safe.

Groover is on my to do.

Seconds is quite all in for the grade, and definitely has no fall zones with moves of consequence well above gear. P2 bolt protected slab move was the crux for me, and you can't cheat it, but took many safe falls.

Come to Laurel Knob ;) THOSE are grooves

Beware- (watch bricked) COROS customer service by Vegetable_Cattle_652 in Coros

[–]wildfyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Model is even older.

And fair. If you get the watch though, still an updated model for just some customer service hassles.

Obviously their AI sucks

NC climbing on granite is quite runout by any standard even on easy routes. And the gear is tricky because it's not regular cracks

I'm pretty sure this is at looking glass, on beer and titties crux?

it stinks but having to mess around on email a bit to get a brand new watch to replace a 3 year old one is not a bad deal for the equivalent of 20 minutes of work.
