Tank Man. It’s not an image, it’s a video, and unfortunately nothing special happens in it, the man just has a talk with the tank driver.

On the same line, one would expect to see at least a mention to the official figure from death certificates (254 dead if I recall well) when discussing death tolls.

This article seems to have a bias against the Chinese government. The tone is very negative throughout, especially near the end. It mentions crimes that are not confirmed by international observers and jumps to conclusions that are pretty extreme.

I am very optimistic. But according to that data, I would need to be in the top 5% most optimistic people to counter the risk increase from the medication I take.

Develop a tool that enables users to circumvent government censorship and surveillance

This one’s spicy…

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that someone has hacked a single 555 all the way into playing Doom…

Not sure if the wording makes 100% sense. For example, that could be bypassed by simply making the same chemical without using petroleum-based products. The fundamental problem is that consumers expect information about how likely a product is to harm them, and the different measures of “artificilialness” are just a marketing device that doesn’t fulfill that role.

Well, Trump doesn’t like Sanchez, and Trump now controls most American social media… it’s the most logical move on his part.

There is a theorem that relates wealth distribution and individual risk, so this is a great analogy.

Flumazenil is structurally a benzodiazepine. Olanzapine contains a benzodiazepine moiety. The point is that the “chaotic” choices are technically benzodiazepines, because that is funny and this is a meme. The reverse goes for bentazepam (not structurally a benzodiazepine).

I feel like nothing we say is 100% a joke. Maybe 99% at most.

doesn’t actually give you energy

What?

All three pictures are in capitalism though.

“If Germany were a decent country” is most likely a call out to the German government.

Hungarian news sites seem to be posting this same piece of news, which supports its authenticity. The only bias here would be whether the media choose to report this or not (reporting bias). So far most European and American outlets are silent.

Nvidia Turing and later are getting a new driver (nvk + Zink) by default in Mesa 25.1, which is currently landing in various distros’ repos.

Good point, thanks. The way I modeled the adjustment was by assuming that most usage is captured by Statcounter but there’s movement back and forth to a reservoir that flies under its radar, in bursts, with zero net movement in the long run. So I used a geometric mean of the source data scaled by the square root of their averaged ratio.

Would’ve been great if that money had been used that way from the start instead of given to him first.

Today’s a dear friend’s birthday, and I’ve got a really cool present for them!

Getting an initial impression of some new field I want to learn about. I ask the model for a short summary and links to more in-depth information. This would be more difficult to do on my own when I don’t even know where to start.

Microprocessor manufacturing. Just think about it: we invent a device called the transistor. We’re making them one by one and using them to make computers. And then, we just find the way to cram more and more of those devices in tiny, dirt cheap slabs of silicon that are literal computers by themselves. In 2021, a typical processor contained 60 billion transistors.

Rust has gone too far.
