So it has three battery packs each the size of an iphone, yet the battery capacity is only twice that of an iphone? Seems pretty meh, and they lock you in with proprietary connectors.

Baldur’s Gate 3 comes to mind. It was announced in 2002 and launched in 2023. They even had to cut all the content about black hounds.

There’s one point where you can deliberately make out with a brain-eating monster.

There’s another where a strict and cruel god-like being demands you hand over something very important to them.

These situations honestly should lead to death if you push it.

Even as a consumer product it’s not really possible to boil it down to objective measures. Just like clothing follows tastes and fashions that are inherently subjective, or books, movies and TV shows etc.

Just call up Linustechtips and ask to collab on a zetabyte project. Probably get the storage drives for free, right?

Moreover, killing Youtube will be harder than killing any of these social media. Serving video content is very expensive.

Ads are making a comeback on streaming services. Not only Youtube, which is now getting more serious about blocking ad-blockers, but even on paid streaming. Netflix has an ad supported tier, Amazon runs ads for its own stuff (so far)…

I would contribute answers in the life sciences. Hope this can take off. :)

It likely is a bit overblown. Moreover, it’s a very good point that it’s a bad system when it only delineates what confidence there is that a compound can cause cancer, and not how strong the effect is. Lots of things are technically carcinogenic, but with the effect being so weak it’s negligible. Technically we already know formaldehyde is a metabolite of aspartame, and that formaldehyde is carcinogenic, but the amounts involved mean it’s going to be a very minor contributor to cancer risk.

I mean, even the Skyrim disc for PC just ran a script to download it via Steam. This has been coming for a long time.

Firefox is behind in some areas, but ahead in others - eg. privacy/tracking.

Compare the amount of protein that is in a flu shot (60 micrograms in Fluzone at most) to a typical mAb (~150 mg up to 1 g at most), you can see how much less the vaccine requires

And with mRNA you get extra amplification from each mRNA being translated multiple times. Then again an mRNA is a lot more massive than its protein product.

I see you’re getting downvoted, and I do have to agree that it’s a pretty optimistic take. With traffic even a tenth what reddit gets, the costs would be significant.

Now it’s true that eg. Wikipedia can handle massive server load on a donation model, but I think the utility from Wikipedia is more obvious and more amenable to attracting donations. I think it’s a good idea to think about palatable monetization options early on, so we can avoid ending up in a situation where the experience has to suddenly get degraded by intrusive ads or whatever.

That is generally true, with exceptions like leaking someone else’s private information.

But it implicates the adjacent “right to be forgotten” rather than narrowly defined “privacy”. This could be a real legal issue in the EU.

> > Why is the amount of DNA in plants so much lower than in animal tissue? Is this because plant cells are larger? (some plants like wheat have very large genomes, I wonder how that affects it too)

They are quoting the DNA concentration in g per kg of dry matter.

Plant cells have cell walls of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, which adds some dry weight that is absent in animals.

In addition, these seeds and tubers etc. we eat tend to be energy storage organs with a whole bunch of starch vs. not very much regular cell mass. It would be the same way if you ground up bone tissue and measured the DNA concentration.

Are cells lining the intestine replaced frequently? and which population of stem cells do they come from?

Yes, very frequently. There are stem cells in the crypts between villi of the duodenum, for example.

what practical nonenterprise uses are these speeds going to have?

None. These are very much enterprise-oriented updates. These extreme speeds are so difficult to achieve that it outweighs the simplification of scaling down the number of lanes. It’s better to use a PCIe 5.0 x16 connection than PCIe 7.0 x4 in consumer hardware.

Mastodon is substantially more active than Lemmy thus far. It’s a different type of medium to Lemmy, so what you want to use is up to you.

Personally I use both, but just like I was spending much more time on reddit than twitter, I’d like to spend more time on Lemmy than Mastodon. I have also found Lemmy a little more intuitive to use initially, so it might be worth spending a couple weeks getting used to how the fediverse works before jumping into Mastodon.

Elon Musk made me jump to Mastodon. Spez made me jump to Lemmy.

could result in the social media company’s trust and safety teams being crippled

If they weren’t already…
