It's not just that the track is garbage (the "say" vocals are actually the least of its problems). Even if AI would make a good track: why use AI for creating your arrangements in the first place? Why this resistance to actua

"The Witness" was fine but I found its overly pompous philosophizing unbearable and pretentious. Rather play "Taiji" instead, which is clearly inspired by TW, but without the grandstanding, and at least IMHO, the puzzles

You are entirely correct. New compounds for trials do not come out of thin air, you usually derive them from compounds you already know how and why they work. For instance, we know very well how Semaglutide works, same goes for many other p

I completely understand your frustration with the lack of knowledge and research in ME/CFS. It's a scandal, given the prevalence and seriousness of the condition. Unfortunately, after Covid, ME/CFS was even more politicized a

But it is usually not necessary for approval of a compound to be able to describe how it works on a molecular or cellular level. What you need to show are three things: efficacy, safety and quality, so basically: the compound has the inte

Not all Kindles can be jailbroken. It's a constant cat and mouse game, and if you get a Kindle with up-to-date firmware, there's a good chance you cannot jailbreak it for now. Once jailbroken, you need to make sure it doesn't

Or, even better, don't buy a Kindle in the first place but get something that doesn't need a jailbreak, like for instance literally any Kobo reader.

Transferring to a new Android phone without depending on Google cloud is a total nightmare. It doesn't help that there's a ton of outdated information in the net on how to do that. You can see it in this very thread: lots of peopl

While this will backup all the media files, the chats themselves are encrypted and the key to decrypt them is not included with that backup. The key is in the data partition which you will not be able to access without rooting your phone.

Again: the maintainer does not say there is no bug. He says: please open a new issue, with a proper title and description for the actual underlying problem. Is that seriously too much to ask? Instead, the guy writes a whole blog post shitti

What actually triggered me most was the apparently big salary bump you can get for "golang" in the UK? That makes no sense, and I'm guessing this is due to small sample sizes.

It's the median salary: 50% of people earn more than 62.4k. 10% earn more than 80k. It's still low compared to the US, but what isn't? For this, you get proper health and unemployment insurance, usually 30 days of paid vacati
