I know we all are in rage about reddit’s fuckery, but this says nothing about the state of the website.

we already knew reddit was not the objective truth or wikipedia, but mostly an echo chamber. incrementing the check on the information objectivity will NOT hamper reddit’s growth. we’ve already seen other social media thrive without the weight of fact-checking or their intended purpose (facebook, instagram, I’d dare to say the new twitter as well).

I as all of you would love to see reddit bomb so badly that they’ll all end unemployed and spez under a bridge sleeping with cardboard sheets, but that’s not going to happen soon.

we should stop looking at how badly is reddit doing, and start watching at how to make Lemmy a better reddit instead.

lucky us Tetris wasn’t a thing back when Batman was a kid

first of all, you gotta be a lady

then they say fish helps a lot apparently

this is the correct answer. ear fatiguing is often caused by incorrect EQ settings in your system. using too much of a high-frequency band and you’ll initially get a brighter and better sound, but you’ll soon start to get fatiguing and even headaches.

Radio songs are heavily post-produced by the radio itself, strictly limited in dynamic range and they also have a mastering EQ that provides a bass boost.

I’d suggest OP to check their EQ settings and aim for a more neutral sound.

I still remember the first time (as a layman) I studied the details of how DNA and genetics work.

You usually get the sense from popular science that DNA is just dices rolling and mixing up genes and everything is totally random, then as soon as you start looking up how things actually work, you find out that your body is composed of actually nanobots with some kind of will, or scope actually, that work within your body doing super complex tasks, and that as of today (well, as of when I read that 10 years ago) we yet don’t have a specific idea of how those nanobots move and reach the places they’re supposed to reach.

our body is an amazing machine, amazing in a way that goes waaaaay beyond our comprehension… I recently started studying the immune system and that’s even more amazing!

super interesting! I listened to it on Curio (which needs a subscription) but the title is:

“Magic Mushrooms. LSD. Ketamine. The drugs that power the Silicon Valley”

by Kirsten Grind and Katherine Brindley on the Wall Street Journal.

here’s the Curio link though

they actually do if your mind is susceptible to a breakdown, i.e. a latent psychosis.

I read an article on the WSJ just yesterday that said he (and many others in the Silicon Valley) are using psychedelic drugs while working in order to find new business ideas. they are into microdosing (which I’m not against), but they also throw big drug parties according to the WSJ and that might have messed with his mind. That, COVID and the recent breakup upon a narcissistic personality might be enough to explain his total breakdown.

yeah I don’t know if “fucks up” is the correct term, but it definitely is a neurological virus. see lack of smell and such.

what do you mean google is like apple privacy-wise? Google is HORRIBLE, they invented tracking in order to sell customised ads.

On the other hand, Apple has lots of flaws but a strong privacy nonetheless, since you’re paying upfront their expensive products.

this is basically not understanding what “risk” means. if you have a 1% risk of developing cancer, and by doing something (ie drinking) you double relatively-wise that risk, it’s still only 2% of risk. would you stop drinking and enjoying alcohol and living a happier life for a mere 1%?

all the numbers I’m using are totally random, but it shows that saying “it increases the risk” although technically correct doesn’t mean shit and it’s just fearmongering and a basic inability of understanding information.

interesting link I found.

neurogenesis is the cause of memories fading.

this is definitely not true.

yes, hide my email thank you. it’s all part of the apple relay service so I used the general name!

I prefer Apple Relay through my iPhone, it creates an alias that gets redirected to my inbox. if I see it gets spammed, I can in any moment delete that address. and bonus, they will never have my email account, so they can’t trace me, if there’s a leak the leakers won’t know my email, usernames etc.

let’s say google didn’t care and closed their software anyways. who would have sued them? and how would they find about it, since the source code is not public?

this happens to me as well.

I don’t think the two halves of the apple exist, the soulmate etc.

I think we’re all people walking down a road, and sometimes we meet someone else who will join us down that road for a while, and walk with us. maybe after a while they’ll take a different path, the important thing is that we walked together and enjoyed doing so.

but he’s not saying that the Planck’s length is the pixel size of our universe.

There is a misconception that the universe is fundamentally divided into Planck-sized pixels, that nothing can be smaller than the Planck length, that things move through space by progressing one Planck length every Planck time. Judging by the ultimate source, a cursory search of reddit questions, the misconception is fairly common. There is nothing in established physics that says this is the case, nothing in general relativity or quantum mechanics pointing to it. I have an idea as to where the misconception might arise, that I can’t really back up but I will state anyway. I think that when people learn that the energy states of electrons in an atom are quantized, and that Planck’s constant is involved, a leap is made towards the pixel fallacy. I remember in my early teens reading about the Planck time in National Geographic, and hearing about Planck’s constant in highschool physics or chemistry, and thinking they were the same. As I mentioned earlier, just because units are “natural” it doesn’t mean they are “fundamental,” due to the choice of constants used to define the units. The simplest reason that Planck-pixels don’t make up the universe is special relativity and the idea that all inertial reference frames are equally valid. If there is a rest frame in which the matrix of these Planck-pixels is isotropic, in other frames they would be length contracted in one direction, and moving diagonally with respect to his matrix might impart angle-dependence on how you experience the universe. If an electromagnetic wave with the wavelength of one Planck length were propagating through space, its wavelength could be made even smaller by transforming to a reference frame in which the wavelength is even smaller, so the idea of rest-frame equivalence and a minimal length are inconsistent with one-another.
