far from impossible

Au contraire

why is it breaking news

Why hate on people sharing positive news?

Couldn’t a neurons-behind-eyes human just have fewer blue receptors? Or a brain that attenuates the blue signal?

This is just saying that the glial cells help make this less bad than it could be, no? Nothing about why neurons behind receptors would be worse

My work revolves around taking tons of data with a python script, then processing it and generating graphs in another script. E.g. I measure y as I modify v, p, s, and f. And then at each v, p, and s, I look at y vs. f and extract some value k, then look at k vs s at each v, p and extract a j, then plot j vs v and p.

How would labplot fit into this? I’ve been thinking about what the next change in my plotting would be, and I’ve considered either adding on-click functionality to my existing script so I can click a v, p, j point to see the k vs s graph that gave that j; or possibly using some library that gives some web-browser based control of graphing. But if labplot seems well suited to this I can also add it into the contenders

That’s basically spyder

How do you like the sleep tracking? Is it fairly accurate? I tried a cheap Colmi ring and the sleep data was all over the place, registering sleep when I had insomnia and occasionally awake when I was asleep

I second this. The initial setup is the hard part. Give it a couple days. The arch wiki is the best resource in the whole Linux ecosystem in my opinion. If that’s the long manual you were looking at for installing steam, know that 90% of it is info on strange edge cases and all a typical user will need to do is sudo pacman -Syu then sudo pacman -S steam (I forgot you have to enable the multilib repository if you haven’t already. You seem smart, you’ll find the info in the wiki)

A couple times a year or so something will break after an update. When that happens

1. Google if anyone else has posted your exact problem
2. See if chatgpt knows anything
3. Humbly post in the arch user forum

One of those will solve it. Good luck!

Incredible graphic. The bicep tattoo. The baby carriage. It’s perfect

Until I see a shred of evidence that airplane mode doesn’t disable the radios, yes, I’m going to trust the manufacturers, the EFF, and my background in EE

Source? EFF says airplane mode is sufficient per the article

Yeah, GPU acceleration is currently broken. Something something mlt issue. I’m looking forward to the fix but not holding my breath. I can survive on CPU til then, though

No, I’m cool. I do a good bit of nerdy/antisocial stuff but I’m actually a certified chiller

What exposure meters are they talking about? UV?

Most likely they packed one queen per tube, and then some of the queens had had workers spawn by the time these guys got busted

We’ve already done bosonic sampling that’s classically intractable. Google published it a few years ago. So yes, quantum supremacy has already been proven. It’s a useless toy problem, but one a classical computer just can’t do.

Yes, error correction will get harder the more we scale, but we’re pretty sure we’ve reached the point where we win by throwing more qubits at it. Again, now it’s engineering the scaling. No mean feat, it’ll take a long time, but it’s not like this is all speculation or fraud. The theory is sound

Re: quantum computing, we know quantum advantage is real both for certain classes of problems, e.g. theoretically using Grover’s, and experimentally for toy problems like bosonic sampling. It’s looking like we’re past the threshold where we can do error correction, so now it’s a question of scaling. I’ve never heard anyone discuss a limit on computation per volume as applying to QC. We’re down to engineering problems, not physics, same as your brain vs computer case.

What do you mean? The popular image is of the Somali militias using Soviet-designed weapons. AKs and such

I run jellyfin on my desktop rather than a dedicated HTPC. I’m sure it doesn’t matter, but I don’t want my computer to be doing jellyfin scheduled tasks when I’m doing something important. While if I’m watching something, my computer’s not going to be doing anything other than serving me the content, which seems like an ideal time to do housekeeping
