Zebrafish are an extremely powerful model for drug development and toxicology.

Sure. But there’s also a reason we don’t do in silico molecular dynamics, test toxicology on zebrafish, and boom done drug is on the market. Even extremely close organisms, with LCAs much earlier than the zebrafish, can have wildly different reactions to potential drugs and dietary elements.

There are things you can feed a chimp but not a human.

I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.

A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the “biggest upcoming launches” were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.

“1000x faster?” Learn to lie better

Analogue computers are indeed capable of doing a task 1000x faster than a regular computer. The difference is they do only that task, in a very specific way, and with one specific type of output. You can 3D print at home an “analogue computer” that can solve calculus equations, it can technically be faster than a CPU, but that’s the only thing it can do, it’s complex, and the output is a drawing on paper.

If you come up with a repeatable and precise set of mechanical movements that are analogous to the problem you want to solve, you can indeed come up with headlines like that.

Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs

I’m working in a lab that is purchasing a cluster with a price tag you wouldn’t believe even if I could share it, which I can’t. We are publicly funded. Scientists are buying this hardware, for this price, because the speed up we get is tremendous.

but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.

You’re delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.

The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking are not.

I wish. Even knowing it’s all a gigantic scam, they’ll first protect themselves before letting it burst and screw everybody else. The rich get a buffer period.

But full bitrate 4k from a Blu-ray IS better.

Full Blu-Ray quality 1080p sources will look significantly better than Netflix 4K.

Hence why “4K” doesn’t actually matter unless your panel is gigantic or you’re sitting very close to it. Resolution is a very small part of our perceived notion of quality.

It’s the screen size that makes a difference

Not by itself, the distance is extremely relevant. And at the distance a normal person sits away from a large screen, you need to get very large for 4k to matter, let alone 8k.

To begin with, all of the things you listed are bad and we complain about them just as much. It’s never a good argument when people complain about some bad thing and your reasoning is “but what about this other bad thing?”.

Secondly, this particular update is not about general location tracking, which Microsoft already does quite a lot of, but also being a narc and telling your boss about it, which adds a whole new layer of reasons to complain.

And to finish off… Yes, Windows in the workplace is your enemy. So is Windows at home. Or in an ATM, supermarket cashier, airport totem, or any other computing device.

Oh no, now you have multiple issues with your nervous system!

Are you actually serious.

Very serious, doctors surgically removed my ability to be silly. But on a different note, if you think every search engine ever gives worse results than ChatGPT, I’m afraid the heavy LLM usage already rotted parts of your brain. I’m sorry for the bad news.

Why the fuck are you defending google so hard lmao.

Ah yes, when I said “use a different search engine” as a solution to Google having issues I’m certainly defending Google! What an endorsement right? “Use a completely different service” is free publicity for Google!

This in combination with Google closing down the android ecosphere, kinda says a lot, no?

It says that my next phone will be a dumb feature flip phone.

I have not touched a Microsoft product or service for my personal life in 10 years. Last year I was fired, thus no longer being forced to use Teams.

Which means I haven’t touched a Microsoft product, at all, in a year. Love it.
