mtizim··on Vitamin D: Potent regulator of dopaminergic neuron differentiation and function
I think the parent meant

"`for any choice of (∀) nutrient, pasteurization kills nutrient` evaluates to false"

Rather than

"`any nutrient (∃), pasteurization kills nutrient` evaluates to false" - which is what you seem to be responding to.

mtizim··on Why do recipe writers lie about how long it takes to caramelize onions? (2012)
You can really speed up the process by adding water at the beginning and essentially steaming the onions.

mtizim··on Making a Linux home server sleep on idle and wake on demand – the simple way
I have no idea how it looks on the dev/setup side, but suspend and resume is definitely a solved problem, seeing that I've never had any problems with it on my Steam Deck
mtizim··on Astronautilia
Thank you
mtizim··on Programming interviews turn normal people into a-holes
No autocomplete is a major pain in the ass when you use different languages and forget if it's "#list", "len(list)","list.len()", "list.length()", "list.size()" or "list.length".

Also, grug hit dot on keyboard and list of things grug can do pop up magic

mtizim··on The life-changing effects of hallucinations
This is some absolutely wrong dosage, please don't ever take actual 400ug doses unless you really know what you're doing. Most tabs sold as 200ug are in the 30-80ug range, so people tend to severely overestimate the dosage.
mtizim··on 4.2 Gigabytes, Or: How to Draw Anything
You can run the model on your CPU quite easily, and a lot of people have access to 16gb machines - it's much slower, for sure (10minutes/50passes on my old gaming pc), but it's still much faster than drawing things of the same quality by hand.
mtizim··on Why do arrays start at 0?
That's really silly - the natural numbers also famously start at either 0 or 1, depending on the country, the discipline, and the individual.
mtizim··on Reddit bans ‘SFW’ deepfake community
You could easily fake a document and post it on twitter. You could fake a photo of putin pointing a gun at ukrainian children easily. What's so different with a video?
mtizim··on LSD microdosing does not appear to improve mood or cognitive ability: study
Note that people often severely overestimate the dosage of acid. What a layman describes as 26ug is very likely to be around half of that.
mtizim··on Playing with DALL-E 2
Michelangelo's most famous sculpture is a beautiful nude man with his dick out, which is something that dalle's terms forbid.
mtizim··on Birth control pill for men could begin human trials later this year
We've been killing each other for thousands of years for far more trivial reasons than getting 18 years of financial obligations.
mtizim··on Web3 is centralized and inefficient
Sure, most things are 'just' social constructs if you reduce them to that, but notice how the state will literally kill you if you break some laws in some ways. Essentially, legal authority comes from a perceived violence monopoly.
mtizim··on Hyper-realistic digital humans in Unity
Go catch up, there's probably gigabytes of SFM porn of every modestly popular game character you know.
mtizim··on One Year with R
Fun fact: there exists a "Why R? Foundation" which holds yearly conferences, because after all these years the R community just cannot find a sensible reason to use the language.
mtizim··on The new silent majority: People who don't tweet
Your comment offends my intelligence, therefore you've hurt a person, therefore you're not a "good person" anymore.

But you might not care about that. You might say that I'm arguing in bad faith, or that your words couldn't possibly have offended me. But you don't get to redefine it.

Obviously, you might just not care that you've just offended me. That's what bad people do. You aren't a bad person, right? Could you please apologize?

mtizim··on I use Org Mode for personal logging/journalling
Have you tried using Syncthing? It's open source, free as in beer, and should fit your usecase well. I'm using it for my Obsidian notes, and it's pretty much frictionless.
mtizim··on Vanced: YouTube adblocker for Android
Personally, I would go out of my way to steal from the relevant company, and just I don't care much for YouTube's survival.
mtizim··on How can you be fooled by the U+202E trick? (2013)
I highly doubt that last statement is true: 𓂺, ꙮ, 𒀱 .
mtizim··on Google Search Is Dying
As per the article, not anymore
