adaml_623··on Every book recommended on the Odd Lots Discord
No it doesn't mention the other books.

It just recommends Consider Phlebus

adaml_623··on Recreating Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments
Or it's distraction. Leave nudity in to use up attention that should be turning to analysis of what's been redacted.

There's redaction to protect victims and there's redaction to protect specific co-conspirators in Epstein's spy ring

adaml_623··on Mobile carriers can get your GPS location
Did people "have emergencies" before the invention of mobile phones?

Your question is silly

adaml_623··on Drawings of the elements of CMS detector, in the style of Leonardo da Vinci
Thank you. Excellent link you've shared.

I noted the photographer credit but should have just googled

adaml_623··on Drawings of the elements of CMS detector, in the style of Leonardo da Vinci
I can't see who drew them?
adaml_623··on FOSS "just fork it" delusion
You say "often used as a first resort to shut down criticism"

You're replying to a comment that says, "rarely see good faith engagements being immediately shut down with 'just fork it'"

They do seem to be clearly contradicting your point

adaml_623··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
Ethically speaking it seems like you should not be accessing commercial news sites if you're not willing to pay in some way for the work of the people writing the articles.

What do you propose they do?

adaml_623··on Do not mistake a resilient global economy for populist success
Infant mortality
adaml_623··on History LLMs: Models trained exclusively on pre-1913 texts
Yes but if you are building an voice activated autonomous flying hammer then you either want it to be very good at differentiating heads from hammers OR you should restrict its use.
adaml_623··on Kroger acknowledges that its bet on robotics went too far
In my experience because you're picking up from the Argos you can do an instant return if you realize you ordered wrong (or the item is rubbish). Not perfect but a good way to get your hands on the product with an easy refund option
adaml_623··on Think Weirder: The Year's Best SciFi Ideas
That would be in, "The Year 3000's Best SciFi Ideas"
adaml_623··on Dating: A mysterious constellation of facts
This anecdote does not really feel like an argument that dating apps suck. Sounds like you were using them wrong somehow
adaml_623··on Dating: A mysterious constellation of facts
"If the apps can keep you getting dates, not partners, they can keep you on the app and happy."

I know this sounds judgemental but I'm not convinced the people going on lots of dates are "Happy" even if they're being successful in dating and hookups.

adaml_623··on Diphtheria, a once vanquished killer of children, is resurgent
It looks like you've been downvoted but no one has replied to tell you that your comment seems to be very under-informed about diseases and vaccines. I suggest you google Tetanus for a start
adaml_623··on Armed police swarm student after AI mistakes bag of Doritos for a weapon
This is a really good question. Sadly the answer is that they think it's how the system is meant to work. Well that seems to be the answer that I see coming from police spokespeople
adaml_623··on Servo v0.0.1
I hope they give it a new name with the rebirth. I know it means something to some people but there are a lot of different things with that name
adaml_623··on I made a public living room and the internet keeps putting weirder stuff in it
But then it wouldn't be the internet
adaml_623··on I sat down with Werner Vogels, the CTO of Amazon
A leading question is a totally different thing from jumping to conclusions
adaml_623··on Paracetamol disrupts early embryogenesis by cell cycle inhibition
Oh I was hoping for a written down reference from an organisation responsible for giving medical advice rather than an single doctor.
adaml_623··on Paracetamol disrupts early embryogenesis by cell cycle inhibition
Provide a reference please. Which country is that from?
adaml_623··on Candle Flame Oscillations as a Clock
I will Google but wanted to point out that I have no idea what "electric baseboards" are.

It's funny how different houses are around the world. Even in similar latitudes/climate.

adaml_623··on Ted Chiang: The Secret Third Thing
I think OP was incorrect in writing, "thermodynamics appear to work differently", in Exhalation.

I think the thermodynamics works the same and you've nailed it by describing it as hermetically sealed perfection. It's a simpler world where a self-aware being can see and almost feel the march of entropy and their own brief existence being part of that.

adaml_623··on Ted Chiang: The Secret Third Thing
I feel the author of the article shows extraordinary hubris in writing, "his lack of output being tragic for a generational talent".
adaml_623··on The natural diamond industry is getting rocked. Thank the lab-grown variety
Unless Boomers live long enough to spend the inheritance on nursing homes
adaml_623··on Scientists may have found a way to eliminate chromosome linked to Down syndrome
Does your sister-in-law have family who could support her and the child?
adaml_623··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
You might want to expand your comment to make it clear that the astronauts were 'stranded' by the Boeing Starliner and not by SpaceX Falcon/Dragon
adaml_623··on Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable
That's a revolting inhumane comment.
adaml_623··on The first giant 15 MW turbine is up at Germany's largest offshore wind farm
From Google:

The turbine model V236-15.0 MW from Vestas features a capacity of 15 MW and a 236-meter diameter rotor with hub height of about 145 meter, highest tip of 263 meter.

... 236 meters

adaml_623··on Record-breaking neutrino is most energetic ever detected
Would a nucleus composed of multiple nucleons stay stuck together with that much energy? If it's zipping along and not interacting with the anything then sure but how did it get that much energy in the first place?
adaml_623··on Researchers design wearable tech that can sense glucose levels more accurately
I think this is a really important point. Making it a feature in millions of watches will drive the cost of implementation down
