didntknowyou··on A Beginner's Two-Component Crystal-Style Wi-Fi Detector
curious, so if you build a "wall" of these, it would use up the wiress energy in the air so will absorb the excess waves around you?
didntknowyou··on Supplementation with vitamin D3 reduced telomere attrition
there's nothing wrong with being in the sun. but there's no denying UV rays damage the skin, accelerating the signs of ageing- hence the recommendation by dermaotlogist to avoid it.
didntknowyou··on When someone says they hate your product
every product will have haters. to attack the poster personally and then double down with a non-apology kinda shows how clueless their leadership is
didntknowyou··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
At that point I wonder if it's reasonable to pull the alarm so they have an emergency stop?

i think most humanity left when corporates began to dominate industries and everyone just had to follow rules and structures
didntknowyou··on Nvidia takes $5B stake in Intel under September agreement
it prob would if there was some circular deals intel could provide to inflate the ecobubble
didntknowyou··on Nvidia takes $5B stake in Intel under September agreement
splitting hairs at this point tbh
didntknowyou··on Swapping SIM cards used to be easy, and then came eSIM
there will be a point where esim will be forced on everyone, because having to swap sim is bad for tracking people
didntknowyou··on Say No to Palantir in the NHS
with a CEO that openly boast their product is great at getting data to kill people, what's there not to hate?
didntknowyou··on Nvidia's $20B antitrust loophole
as if people in finance have a reputation for morals? if anything chamath is great at making deals that worked to his favour.
didntknowyou··on Nvidia's $20B antitrust loophole
likely they can vote for the deal with their personal bias without any repercussions, whereas the CFO can be directly targeted so he stayed on the ship.
didntknowyou··on Nvidia's $20B antitrust loophole
very likely the VCs have a clause that allows them to trade at every re-valuation, whereas employees are locked in vested periods, and likely to see their stocks devalue by the time they can cash out.
didntknowyou··on Fathers’ choices may be packaged and passed down in sperm RNA
although it's like milk too. exposure at an early age leads to the body producing more lactase enzyme to digest it. but lack of exposure often makes people lactose intolerant.
didntknowyou··on Growing up in “404 Not Found”: China's nuclear city in the Gobi Desert
nice read. interesting experience and great writing. looking forward to the next part.
didntknowyou··on All my senses are being tortured simultaneously
you realize the airline and airports are usually completely different companies?

yes you paid for a flight, and the airline is using that to pay for the basic airport fees. most of your gripes could be avoided by paying the airport as well for extras (e.g. to use their VIP lounges)

didntknowyou··on BMW Patents Proprietary Screws That Only Dealerships Can Remove
ok so instead of innovating on car tech/EVs/etc they decided to spend their efforts on making profit moats?
didntknowyou··on Kroger acknowledges that its bet on robotics went too far
love ocado purely for the reason it's cheaper than other services. i suspect they are subsidising each order to build long term customer behaviour but it's a gamble when customers can eadily switch as the moat is purely pricing
didntknowyou··on Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold explodes during durability testing
After criticising Google's past two Google foldable phones with no improvement made in the new model, Zack Nelson (JerryRigEverything) experiences a battery explosion while testing the new Pixel 10 Fold.
didntknowyou··on AI tools churn out 'workslop', but 'the buck' should stop with bosses
i think the problem is more people punching numbers into the calculator and presenting the answer, without the faintest idea if it is even right (or having the ability to check).
didntknowyou··on AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake
it kinda worked in a way. AMD offered OpenAI 160 million stock options.

With AMD's stock jump today it's net worth increased about $35billion, close enough in value to those stocks option they gave away (if it was redeemed instantly).

It's too much of a coincidence so I'm guessing market makers and institutional shareholders priced it in their trading today.

first you said you made it, then you blame your developer friend, now you say whatever? sure bud
didntknowyou··on Chinese researchers reversed aging in primates. Yes, it's real
according to the paper summary (https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(25)00571-9) it slows, not reverse aging marker:

Aging is characterized by a deterioration of stem cell function, but the feasibility of replenishing these cells to counteract aging remains poorly defined. Our study addresses this gap by developing senescence (seno)-resistant human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs), genetically fortified to enhance cellular resilience. In a 44-week trial, we intravenously delivered SRCs to aged macaques, noting a systemic reduction in aging indicators, such as cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and tissue degeneration, without any detected adverse effects. Notably, SRC treatment enhanced brain architecture and cognitive function and alleviated the reproductive system decline. The restorative effects of SRCs are partly attributed to their exosomes, which combat cellular senescence. This study provides initial evidence that genetically modified human mesenchymal progenitors can slow primate aging, highlighting the therapeutic potential of regenerative approaches in combating age-related health decline.

didntknowyou··on Using a Small Paper Clip as SIM Tray Tool
have used paper clips before sometimes they are too wide for iphone tho, maybe there's different gauge wire standards.

thankfully have enough sim ejectors lying around now (usually included with new sim cards)

didntknowyou··on BYD builds fastest car
yeah same thing when I tried their Huawei phones. their mobile phone market is much more innovative due to the competition it's a bit of a shame the monopolies stifle competitors to grasp their crown a little longer

c'mon I'm all for the hustle but put a bit more effore to be creative. all your website reviews are AI generated 5 star slop
didntknowyou··on It's just a virus, the E.R. told him – days later, he was dead
did you read the article? i have a medical background and his hematology results does not support sepsis. the family pointing blame at the hospital for ignoring the sepsis automated warning is barking up the wrong tree and probably why the hospital ignored them.

not saying the hospital is faultless because they clearly failed in this case but as in any courtroom if you charge a criminal with the wrong crime you are bound to lose.

they're just printing money for each other at this point
didntknowyou··on Sharpie found a way to make pens more cheaply by manufacturing them in the U.S.
doubt it's some altruistics thing, likely retraining existing box packers were cheaper than hiring tech grads
didntknowyou··on It's just a virus, the E.R. told him – days later, he was dead
medical opinion is that sepsis was not the cause of death despite the family's insistence.

it is likely a rare condition that the doctors missed. this case is sad but being fixated on one diagnosis and building the case around that is just trying to pin blame.
