Are dub remixes supposed to suck all the life out of a track and reduce it to a mild gray noise, or have i only been exposed to bad ones?

those rare, ~rare~ days i manage to get enough sleep really make me realize how much i'm missing out on, how much lower my potential is because of how poorly i sleep. how much more capable, motivated, and friendly i can be. it feels inappropriate to call it a disability but it sure does feel like it

nobody has been able to tell me what "ranch" flavor actually is. all flavors come from some component food-type so what is it?

poor guy on reddit posting about his - real, concerning - symptoms of schizophrenia and how scared he is, and every top post is CALL A PSYCHIATRIST IMMEDIATELY PULL OUT YOUR PHONE DO IT NOW. i don't know i think inducing panic is maybe not the best approach to helping someone imo

Hi just a periodic reminder to my fellow climate peeps to stop saying “emissions”. Please use pollution, air pollution or climate-heating pollution. You don’t have to use alienating graduate student-level speak. Let’s use normal people speak please and thank you. 🧵

if you haven't interacted with academia in a while you probably aren't aware how much harry potter is used in hypotheticals. character names and locations get used as shorthand instead of Jane and John Doe. it's really aggravating

watching my mom's life completely fall apart over the last several years, and the only thing i could do to help is to put my life aside completely to take care of hers. an impossible situation and it is killing me.

I've been invoking stochastic parrots in criticizing LLMs all this time and I never even knew it had a name! I still don't think they're cool, personally. Sophisticated, certainly, but I've always agreed it's important to distinguish between LLMs and other tech like neural networks.

studying law is tough because you could have ten rules that all point to the same conclusion then a new case will just be like, "nah" and invalidate only parts of the original rules so now you have this nebulous patchwork of rules all some or none of which may apply in any given context

i knew i was going to get sick at some point since i'm around all these new people, and of course it had to be the day before exams. but i guess in some ways that's fine because exams don't really require a lot of effort if you've been keeping up on shit which i think (HOPE) i have been

booting up windows once a month and i need to set aside a couple hours to install updates. i could leave my linux partition on a shelf for five years and come back and update it in a single apt update command in less than a minute but apparently that's too much effort for the average person

one new thing i'm learning: increasing speed leads to severe diminishing returns on ETA. increasing speed from 10 to 20mph saves 10 minutes on a 1-hour trip, whereas DOUBLING speed from 60 to 120mph saves only 5 minutes. between 70 and 80: you save a single minute.

finally saw the Odyssey and while i didn't hate it, it didn't change my opinion of Nolan that he is just not a very good artist. he's good at something, just not art

I'm just going to keep yelling this louder and louder until it clicks: weird overpaid AI nerds hand-wringing about human extinction are trying to distract you from the extremely deadly and serious harms they are causing yesterday, today and tomorrow www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Headline: "US Data Centers Set to Burn More Natural Gas Than Most Nations" above a photo of natural gas compressor towers, power lines and a crane at an industrial site, illustrating rising gas use tied to data centers.

News excerpt reporting that U.S. data centers’ natural gas use is expected to grow by 15 billion cubic feet per day by 2035—amounting to more gas than every country except China, Russia, Iran and the U.S., citing the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

got really attached to this one type of notebook that was UNLINED paper, 3-hole punched, perforated, and letter-sized. apparently it was custom made for a local stationery and BOTH their suppliers have gone out of business. impossible to find elsewhere. leave it to me to imprint on a unicorn product
