  • Mine doesnt warn at 20. Mine only "warns" when it envokes battery saving, which changes the behavior of many apps. So i like to know how close i am gettimg to that.

  • Cool. I tried to get into Space Time, but he doesn't seem as invested in actually explaining vs just presenting a script.

    Old Veritasium explainer videos are very good -- for example the gravity and acceleration equivalence.

    I don't watch cosmology that much any more.

  • Isn't it too late then?

  • Wow look at you mr 90+ lol

    Without numbers, 30 and 40 are indistinguishable. Is it time to go find a charger yet?

    The difference between 21 vs 20, or 16 and 15, or 6 vs 5 is pretty big. Especially when people have battery saving features kick on at a specific percentage.

  • How does that relate to Sabine?

  • It's obvious that's what's she's doing. But i think she believes the lies at this point.

  • I really liked her quantum physics explainers, like the two slit experiment. I didn't think she was fringe when she was teaching like this.

  • I read somewhere that teaching people about how LLMs work is way better at protecting them from the harms of LLMs than trying to convince them not to use them.

    This would include prompt engineering i guess! Which to be fair i do not know about.

    The video makes fun of it by having the vibe coder put "... or you go to jail " at the end of every prompt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeNS1ZNHQs8

  • It was mostly about Saw tbh

  • If you are genuinely asking and not just defending, this blog post is a starting point to explain: https://timothynguyen.org/2025/08/21/physics-grifters-eric-weinstein-sabine-hossenfelder-and-a-crisis-of-credibility/

    Others can say it better than me, but her videos went from well-researched science education to takedowns of the scientific process itself, hybothesis, experiment, analysis, forming new hypotheses. And takedowns of scientist in general. Conspiracies like "they're all trying to waste taxpayer money," which did GREAT numbers on YouTube.

    I enjoyed her early videos saying "String theory is too difficult to verify experimentally, offers too little in predictive power, and gets way too much funding compared to other areas like X Y Z." That's a fair opinion and a discussion where rational minds can support their argument, and even agree to disagree.

    "Science is sick, academia is dying, the whole field is corrupt, you can't trust scientists" is her vibe now. You can't have good faith arguments in that framing.

  • I would have liked to see The Who perform Tommy at their height... the first rock opera, and it was supposedly a sensation.

  • Have you heard of the powkiddy? It is like a gameboy sp

  • Sabine Hossenfelder, after she went full anti-science, like "and you can trust me because i am a scientist, but not like those other scientists."

    I think i stopped watching when she read a fake email to the camera.

  • Was that in the Saw episode? I don't remember it super well, but it had to do with israelis are bad for murdering palestinians. Also some palestinians were bad once for murdering israelis, but it isnt equivalent. We use moral references to decide when violence is justified. Something like that

  • Thanks. Yeah i don't want something crazy power hungry.

    I'll see what other pcs i can find. I heard that dell especially is to be avoided because their cases, etc, are highly unstandard. Anything else to look for on the used market for the case with HDD bays?

    I've never heard of HBA so I'll try to research that.

  • I like anywho. It's whimsical

  • But technically different ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
