Finally, a programmer joke I get!

It would be an absolute shithole with almost 0 moderation due to 1a applicability. Defederation would happen regardless of who has gov majority.

The authors fail to come up with -any- source (credible or not) for that ridiculous 10 bits/s number. Their model is so simplistic it isn’t even worth engaging with.

And yet I’ve seen this article like 5 times since Christmas on Lemmy. If it was all just for the joke that Lemmings process data a 2 bits/sec, once, I’d be fine with it, but this trend of being fire-hosed with manure since the US election ended is seriously making me consider if Lemmy is worth it anymore.

Can you just stop. This isn’t going to be a thing. Laughing at videos of someone in the process of learning something new is 2 decades old.

little to no money would reach the actual researchers who spent months and years working in this.

Researchers often pay to get reviewed/published. Typically due to the Journal being open access, but often for things like ‘expedited review’.

Regardless, they don’t get paid for the article, relying on donations or grants to fund the research (with publication costs included in the proposal).

It’s ‘great’ along the same lines as if the US gov announced paying all citizens insurance premiums for 3 years. Sure, more would temporarily have access to a service they should already permanently have access to, but in reality it shines a spotlight on how serious the problem is.

India paid $55k per journal for 3 years access… to knowledge. Knowledge that the journals did nothing to accrue themselves. If you can make that make sense then sure it is a good thing in that it is better than not having access at all or for a more egregious cost.

They have it really bad over there. My understanding is most European countries would laugh at Canadian labour law, but Canada laughs at the US’s.

Depends on the Province I think. Where I’m at you’re entitled to 30 min off (unpaid) within the first 5 hours, and another within 8 if you’re working longer than 8 hours. 15 min breaks are not mandated except that if the company gives you them they must be paid.

I wish this was true so that there would be a hard limit to within this century, on how much ff related damage we will do.

Unfortunately, they are still finding more, particularly in the north. How much yet-to-be-proven oil still out there is what really should be considered along with technology improvements that increase how much oil can be effectively recovered.

proved reserves only represent the oil that a given region can theoretically extract based on the infrastructure it has planned or in place. This is only “the tip of the iceberg,” says Steven Grape, who works with proven oil reserves for the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Yeah, mainstream media is shitshow atm. ABC news fact checked Trump’s BS during that debate and people lost their minds. Why? Because truth doesn’t matter? Now CBS refuses to fact check because they are cowards? They are the GD news. Their job is to literally inform the public of the truth.

It really feels like we are literally watching civilization flushing down the drain and there is nothing that can be done about it.

It clearly isn’t. Donald sounds way too coherent 😂

They’re more likely to vote for a useless 3rd party or not vote at all. When Trump gets the EC votes of their state (assuming their actual voters which I highly doubt) by a couple hundred votes they’ll shocked Pikachu face for 4 years (assuming this isn’t their actual goal in which case they’ll laugh at the rubes who fell for it).

I agree, but this doesn’t actually specify which party is the 🤡 . That being obvious is not MY fault.

Of all the people, and all the agendas to be threatened by this… why am I not surprised.

Hey, would you look at that. They can take a hint.

The video almost literally says nothing more than the title. “Abiogenesis is how life began in the beginning and science isn’t sure why. You could get a nobel prize for its discovery. Thanks for watching”.
