  • Then in the middle of the hardest hitting writing in SciFi there's a ham-fisted, horribly directed episode about King Arthur coming out of Vorlon deep freeze or whatever

    Edit: Sorry I am sleep deprived and read both "Ronald D. Moore" as JMS and Battlestar Galactica as Babylon 5

  • Time for a (insert favourite Trek series here) rewatch

  • I read this meme as a satire on the nature of graduate school research projects, where you often spend inordinate amounts of time repeating the same type of experiment in a variety of ways. This lets you publish either on the sheer body of work or, ideally, one of the products is particularly interesting and you get a bigger paper from it alone.

    The "substrates" in this meme are odd and difficult to react, which again reflects many thesis projects. Also there are no stated goals and success is hard to measure or define.

    Despite the absurdity of the scientific work, the subject still chooses to perform it even though they are deprived of real world relationships formed at Susan's baby shower and may also directly degrade their relationships with their Mom, brother's girlfriend, and dog because of it while also putting their health in jeopardy via cell alkylation.

  • Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes

  • I've been using bitwig on Linux for hobby production for about a year now. It works but it's fairly buggy, with very sluggish controls and more frequent plugin crashes. I despise windows so won't go back, but I'd also love to see continued improvement. One big step would be for more plugin developers to release CLAP versions.

  • Completely agree with your comment about "hitting a wall at running speed" . I switched my music production PC to Linux in a fit of pique at Microsoft. I have used Linux/unix for 25 years at this point, but this move and the resulting technical hurdles took my output to 0% and it hasn't recovered in a couple of months.

    I don't want to switch back but I also really miss my hobby and main creative outlet

  • Are people even licensed anymore?

  • I feel like this is a phenomenon that should have a name, but I don't know what it is...

    As you get older and more experienced, you get better at driving. The average driver, though, generally does not get better because of turnover due to age on both ends. This means that from your relative perspective people seem to be getting steadily worse at driving.

    Of course there is day to day fluctuation, and some factors (e.g. cell phone use) may have large impacts, but I'm convinced that most of what we feel is connected to the former effect.

  • $219 Springer Nature book "Mastering Machine Learning: From Basics to Advanced" was written with a chatbot

  • Academic publishers are parasites.

    I have been working through a textbook this week that has a copyleft statement on every page, and was written by a government scientist who did not get paid to do it. When you access it through the publisher website there is a copyright and they're charging $200 for access.

    Replacing the human expert with a word-guessing machine is a logical progression in their unabashed rent seeking.

  • Nice one

  • The university is exploiting your idealism to get you to work without being paid enough. You aren't "in a position to help people", you are doing a job for an organization with revenues. They could allocate more revenue to accomplish this work without forcing you to work until 1 AM, but they have made the choice that the work is not worth paying for.

    That being said, most good people will go the extra mile if they think it can make a difference, but I see too many who take full responsibility on themselves and "cover" for financially-motivated organizational decisions, which in turn encourages the people who make those decisions to cut even more.

  • Based on my experience with GCMS, if you fart into some activated carbon, you might be able to store it for a long time. To release the smell you'd heat your "sample" up to about 250°C, which you could do in a hot oven or maybe stovetop burner
