  • The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.

    Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.

  • Oh, definitely. Shrooms and LSD are an order of a magnitude less trippy than DMT. I would not classify it as terrifying though.

  • I guess it depends on the definition of trapped. Let's assume we strip trapped of its negative connotations and take it to mean time stretched to an almost infinite degree.

  • Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like

  • I could see it if it was a screen I get to control, akin to a smart mirror. Fridge door would be a pretty good surface since I'm guaranteed to look at it a couple of times each day.

    Other than that, push notifications if the door is open? That's about the max when it comes to usefulness I can imagine. Is that a problem that requires a connected device? No, probably not.

    However, depending on the model range, it becomes difficult to even get a model that doesn't have the "smart" features. No one can force you to connect the device though (yet).

  • Okay, if this is going to be a whole project you probably want a commercial supplier. Based on your geo-preference, one recommendation would be Formulor:

    https://www.formulor.de/material/mylar

    You can upload your own SVGs for laser cutting and engraving, the whole process is rather automated. They offer templates for Inkscape or whatever the matching, closed-source Adobe product is (Illustrator maybe?)

    I linked the mylar material since that would be my recommendation for stencils used for e. g. painting, spraying etc. Mylar hits an excellent balance between cost, handling and durability.

    Formulor is probably not the cheapest supplier, but it's reliable and instant with no customer support agents involved and requires no quotes and approvals being sent back and forth.

  • Jesus, how do you people always come up with the most inane conspiracies. I have a company that manufactures devices that communicate wirelessly. The new RED is a huge pain in the ass, along with the CRA.

    Absolutely no company pushed for this. The new legislations and directives cause a ton of additional work and obligations for companies, e. g. software has to be certified as part of the compliance check, things that were previously approved via self-reports now involve trusted 3rd parties, and reports of violations to government bodies are now mandatory.

    And you know what, even though this costs a bunch of money that could go elsewhere and the whole thing is so new that even the certification bodies have no idea what is going on, even though we have to setup completely new processes, spend endless hours documenting things, I still appreciate both initiatives.

    As an end customer, I would love if e. g. the software that runs on the mobile payment terminal taking my card info is certified. I would love if the developer of the software running on the PLC on my shop floor has to check CVEs, inform me about security issues and has to deliver 5 to 10 years of updates.

    Not a fan of Samsung and their shitty software, but they're simply preemptively covering their ass, nothing more.

    I'd also still want to unlock my bootloader. I'm sure the whole legal situation will become less muddled, enabling just that.

  • The comic highlights the differences in the portrayal of women and men in media, often oversexualizing women in any number of contexts.

  • If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

  • Yes, but many things can be mapped to "language", let's say a grammar describing state machines, so it can be used to generate control actions.

    Transformer models etc. are not only useful for conversational AI and translations.

    I'd be fine with the approach as part of research advancing the field, but unfortunately, that's not what we're seeing.

  • The original paper might have other issues, e. g. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2022/01/07/pnas-gigo-qrp-wtf-approaching-the-platonic-ideal-of-junk-science/

    But I'm not here to discuss effect size or quality of sources, I think it is much more important to understand that there is no good proof that nudging enables people to make good, lasting changes, while at the same time offering policymakers an easy and cheap way out of applying uncontested, proven methods that would be a lot more beneficial.

  • The papers are listed at the bottom of the screenshot you posted, I agree it's badly formatted so not immediately obvious / visible.

    However, I can provide sources later on, I actually still have to get back to another post to provide some papers, but it'll be a while until I have the time to do that.

  • No, it doesn't work - that is exactly the problem. If you don't want to listen to the podcast (which would be a shame), they list a number of studies in the show notes.

    There are a few select cases for which personal nudges work, but only to a miniscule degree which is far less than what the authors claimed. And naturally, proposing nudge theory hinders actual, much more effective, systematic changes that would really benefit people - and that is a major problem.

    It's a face, fake feel good strategy that can be employed to claim improving a given system - like attaching a little plastic string to the plastic cap of your beverage container so companies can claim to have improved the plastic littering problem.

    Thoughts on co-sleeping ?

    Jump

  • Sorry, but that's simply not good advice. Nobody is born with perfect parenting skills and is granted all the answers. In fact, many parents are not fit to raise kids at all, others are simply overwhelmed and need help.

    It's very easy to have a kid, not particularly easy to raise one. The idea that all your decisions are magically correct and sound just because it's your own kid and that every parent knows best is simply wrong. It's healthy to doubt yourself and to ask for advice.

    Also, parenting science is not quackery. This is an actively researched area and there are real scientific efforts to better understand child development with respect to biology, psychology and neuroscience. These efforts do lead to a better understanding of how kids can be raised and how certain parental decisions might affect a child.

    Personally, I'm happy each time parents try to inform themselves and seek the advice of others. That doesn't necessarily mean relying on the answers a bunch of strangers give on social media, but I hope the Fediverse as a whole can do better.

    Right now, I can't make the claims you did in your post initially.

    You're not causing permanent damage to a child by letting them sleep in your bed.

    I wouldn't know that. Intuitively, I do believe that co-sleeping would have a lot of benefits up to a certain age, after the infant stage and dangers of SIDS have passed. However, I could easily imagine that there might be adverse effects after a certain age. Would it be likely to occur after a handful of times? Probably not. Are there any indications on the threshold maybe? Anything to look out for, given the kid might have anything else going on? Maybe. All information I would have on that subject would indeed be anecdotal though, and so in turn pretty useless. Why the dismissal of an honest attempt at getting educated?

    I would indeed argue for getting an overview of what science has to say on the matter and then making an individual, informedndecision based on all the additional context I'd have as a parent that I could never cram into a couple of posts on the internet.

    Having access to scientific publications, I'll see if I can provide some material later.
