Or he'd shitpost on main. He has the same brilliant autist with puerile sense of humor vibe as you see in Mozart and others.

Acceptance at this point, but still this deep sadness. It hurts knowing the irreparable damage we've done and continue to do to our only home, but I don't lay awake at night freaking out about it anymore. I left tech to pursue med

As a queer person watching a slew of recent anti-LGBT laws pass, I wish I could have the luxury of just ignoring the news and not caring. Aaron was 20 when he wrote this and it shows.

Did you read the article? It doesn't seem like they did anything wrong beyond giving too much power to a 3rd party vendor.

Dani wanted to be called Dani - she suffered a lot to transition at a time when people weren't very understanding or supportive, and it's disrespectful to refer to her by her deadname.

> If you look at the Tryptophan pathway, SSRI's can be viewed like some sort of (SQL, XSS, Code) injection attack, influencing your chemistry and your emotions in other ways which may have given you a short term boost, but may not h

There's way less trust in our society than they have been in many years. This is something that's been studied with evidence to back it up. You can see this in the week it took to elect a speaker of the house, something that hasn&

You're referencing a study about china, which had severe lockdowns, and one that isn't about kids in school but the 18-24 age group. Completely different populations studied.

MDMA will probably be regularly used for psycholytic therapy within the next decade and likely see legalization in the same cities that're legalizing psychedelics right now. It has a lot of potential for treating PTSD, trauma and anxie

Considering how often Musk lies to save face and the limited knowledge they have of their own services after purging most people with institutional knowledge, they have very little credibility here.

Scaling Mastodon is actually very challenging - there's been a bunch of good blog posts on this recently with the exodus, and a number of more popular servers cutting off new signups.

The study uses large, national statistics, and shows a clear pattern on a national level. The article you linked is just for a single school district, which may have unique circumstances. It could also be statistical chance, given the small

I'm curious - if companies knowingly continue to use PFAS for purely financial reasons, would they also risk liability? It's becoming increasingly clear from studies that PFAS are toxic to humans. There was that huge settlement by

Anki - I don't know how I'd prep for the MCAT without this. Open source with desktop and mobile clients, syncing via cloud. It's flashcarding but uses gradual intervals so you see things less often once you've retained t

League of Legends has been around for over a decade and is still in a really healthy state because it's continued to change and get better over time - every season brings pretty significant updates and new champions. The history, tradi

> I guess game devs should start optimizing animations, camera and effects for viewers, rather than just for players, perhaps with a "viewer" mode that is different from the player mode. They've put a lot of work into this

This is true for a lot of games, but less true in evergreen games that can continue to update in perpetuity forever. League of Legends has been around for over a DECADE and the esports scene for it is bigger than it's ever been.

This is an issue in biomedical research as well. Sometimes I've reached out to researchers who've done similar studies and ask them missing details in their methods.

This is a single study with a limited sample. A meta-analysis puts it at about 30-40%.

Curiosity really - been experimenting with it a lot over the weekend to see what it's good at, what it isn't, and its limitations. It's surprised me a number of times! As it stands I'd pay about $100 a month for it. It&#

I think knowing how to ask the right questions is important. I've learned that I need to be very specific or I can get pretty general answers. And you can also ask clarifying questions afterwards, or ask for a greater level of detail.

I think we're seeing a pendulum swing in some ways. The migration to Mastodon has been really exciting because servers are funded through Patreon, not eyeballs. Communities are smaller and content is higher quality, without pressuring

There's a thriving community for several communities beyond just tech - people who want to rekindle some of the community they found on twitter. I'm on med-mastodon (healthcare workers and researchers) and the server has several t
