  • Returning to the fediverse is hard.

  • I browse all but I have an extensive set of word filters that block stuff that I don't want to see. I like seeing new communities come up and trying to make All work because of that. I did the same thing with Reddit like 20 years ago, though I switched to a subscribed feed there once they got big (before I left). This strategy works well for me.

  • Deobfuscators are fairly good IME. I haven't checked this code in particular, but I've never seen obfuscated JavaScript that was uninterpretable following deobfuscation

  • As someone who worked at more than one grocery store where the manager scheduled more people per week if someone needed to constantly be on cart duty (e.g., during the winter, because folks were less likely to put their carts back during the cold), I often don't put my cart back in the correct spot. I do so because at the stores I worked at, that would help people who want more hours be able to make a case for those hours to the manager. I often had to do so when I wanted more hours, and I was the person who did the carts. I never do this when cart duty is otherwise hard (e.g., late at night, in the cold, in the summer heat, etc.)---in those cases, I always bring my cart back inside of the store and put it completely away.

    So, yes, but there are sometimes reasons to do something besides what's courteous.

  • Recently, a company called Pangram appears to have finally made a breakthrough in this. Some studies by unaffiliated faculty (e.g., at U Chicago) have replicated its claimed false positive and false negative rates. Anecdotally, it's the only AI detector I've ever run my papers through that hasn't said my papers are written by AI.

  • NVIDIA at least makes money. Their TTM P/E is around 45. The average is like 25 right now for the S&P iirc, which is above historical averages of ~15, but has been the new normal for like 20 years at this point. We're in a bubble, but NVIDIA is selling the picks and shovels, so they'll won't go bankrupt once it pops.

    Windows 11 may be 'evolving into an agentic OS' but consumers don't want buzzwords and AI – they just want it to run smoothly

  • I could tell you were using Gnome literally just by you saying that there was something you wanted to do but couldn't. In my experience, Gnome has basically no features and is still super buggy. Linux Mint Cinnamon and Solus Budgie have each just worked super well for me. I switched from Windows and had a bumpy ride until I found those two. I use Solus at home and Mint at work, both without issue.

  • Blue light is important for night vision, so either of those options would lead to less of an ability to see well after sunset.

  • No, glia support neurons; they do things like redirecting blood flow to more-active-than-usual neurons, mylenate axons, etc. They wouldn't form a mesh around neurons' photoreceptors the same way they do neurons' somas and axons. What the article describes is that glia actually are critical at allowing for color vision during the day and night vision at night, since on land we'd get too much blue light to see color with much fidelity were it not for glia, and a similar filtration process helps us see at night. It's not that it's not as bad as it could be, it's actually that vision is better this way (barring one small blind spot outside of our fovea--which, being outside of the fovea, would have low acuity anyways).

  • I didn't struggle with any of it when I went through it, I just have subsequently found that I didn't retain many of the rules. The derivative's power rule is about the only rule I don't have to look up these days. I'd like an online resource that has a bunch of practice exercises to help drill that stuff into me.

  • I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:

    Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest? Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋

    So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.

  • ha… wait, yes! Haha!

  • 🤖 That’s an intriguing inquiry, burgermeister! Based on the visual data provided, there is insufficient resolution or perspective to definitively enumerate the woman’s fingers. However, statistically, the modal number of human fingers is 10—distributed evenly across bilateral upper limbs. Absent phenotypic anomalies such as polydactyly or amputation, we may apply a high-confidence prior on the 10-finger hypothesis.

    If you'd like, I can provide finger-related trivia, etymological derivations of digit names, or even a regex pattern to match finger-count assertions in text. 🧠✨ Let me know how deep you'd like to go down the finger rabbit hole!

  • My merit review this year specifically noted my high volume of peer review for why I exceeded expectations in the 20% service part of my contract. Again I say, faculty are remunerated for peer review. It's better to do peer review for the service part of my contract than it is to sit on faculty senate. Doing peer review helps my research. It's a win-win, unless I don't want to get my full merit raise because i ignored service.

  • Faculty are paid for doing peer review just like we're paid for publishing. We're not paid directly for each of either, but both publishing (research) and peer review (service to the field) are stipulated within our contracts. Arxiv is also free to upload to and isn't a journal with publication fees.
