in this economy?

apparently ww1 era british soldiers figured out that cordite works like amyl but shittier (more specifically, nitroglycerin part) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/abaf/009c8713aadd8accbb03b2b40a93b5c3c77a.pdf

smokeless powder is, sort of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin#Industrial_exposure

it’s hacky and wrong. or you could use different hardware, maybe from competition, because result isn’t worth electricity it used

gpus as used for genai aren’t really suitable for normal loads like aerodynamic simulations, genai uses low precision data like fp8, fp4, blackwells and such are optimized for it so hard that you can’t really do anything else on this thing

Tax reasons perhaps? In some countries ethanol with (certain kinds of) perfume mix can be taxed as denatured alcohol, otherwise some other kind of denaturant would be needed

yes you can do it and it’s so easy it sometimes happens accidentally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_the_mall_technique

strictly speaking you don’t need machines for it but if there is any that would be rightwing propaganda enterprise

btw did you know that zucc studied psychology? and that research on this would be maybe not the hottest shit by the time he studied, but at least well disseminated?

if your brain does that without drugs i’d suggest you check it with a neurologist because it’s not usual. maybe there will be some new kind of epilepsy named after you

I have excellent vision normally and don’t need glasses, I can see things from extremely fair away and my eyes have a wide FOV (my peripheral is great)

it sounds a lot like psychedelics and not any usual human experience

Radio transmission doesn’t require state-level capacity (yes there are other barriers like cost or skill) and waves don’t care about borders. Receiving foreign radio was a big thing and it doesn’t require special equipment

i think there is, but i don’t want to spread associated cognitohazard

i’m saying that what you see as generational divide can be partially also class divide

have you considered that there are people your age that were broke as kids, or non-westerners, that also don’t remember pokemon red/blue

so they’ll allow uploads of papers newer than 2020 after the case is closed (either way)?

only if you keep backups

not an immunologist; i don’t want to undersell this to you: immunology is fantastically complex subject with many redundancies, feedback loops, and frustrating number of moving parts, many of which are still unknown in sufficient detail. that said, if you want any chance for it to go: first you’d have to figure out what exactly mealses virus does, then you’d have to find a disease that can be cured or treated by obliterating whatever mealses virus is obliterating, and then if there’s any match (big if) it’ll probably still won’t work just with wild type virus and require significant modifications. and even then, that effect as is known in mealses today is not very reliable and lasts only months to years. and even then, there might be other approaches that are safer or more reliable or both

maybe in the course of figuring the first one there will show up an option to modify mealses virus in some significant way that might allow it to target something else, and maybe target other kind of disease, because in no way it’d be a blanket cure for all immune diseases ever. maybe someone made an observational study already that tracked how prevalence of some immune diseases changes after mealses infection, but many of these are rare diseases and it’d be massively hard endeavor

it wasn’t a problem before they started doing this

because it’s cheap, easy, compact, well understood, and makes numbers look good. number in question is ratio of energy used by entire facility to energy used by silicon only (i forgor how it’s called). alternative is dissipating heat from radiators, but this makes this number like 3. evaporative cooling makes this number closer to 1.2
