Perhaps “always-on display” is clearer? Keeps it from turning off when idle

Sure, but now you’re talking about running a physical simulation of neurons. Real neurons aren’t just electrical circuits. Not only do they evolve rapidly over time, they’re powerfully influenced by their chemical environment, which is controlled by your body’s other systems, and so on. These aren’t just minor factors, they’re central parts of how your brain works.
Yes, in principle, we can (and have, to some extent) run physical simulations of neurons down to the molecular resolution necessary to accomplish this. But the computational power required to do that is massively, like billions of times, more expensive than the “neural networks” we have today, which are really just us anthropomorphizing a bunch of matrix multiplication.
It’s simply not feasible to do this at a scale large enough to be useful, even with all the computation on Earth.
Cypher was right
Except for the killing everyone else part
“uncommon” is an overstatement, you can get them pretty much anywhere that has pots and pans. It’s uncommon in that most people don’t bother owning one, not that they’re hard to get
In addition to what others said, the way you perceive light intensity is not linear. Between your eye adjusting to changing light levels and just the way your brains visual centers work, it’s closer to logarithmic. Indoor lighting at night probably feels like, what, 10% of the brightness of daylight? In reality it’s less than 1%, sometimes closer to 0.1%.
It’s still lemmy, but the mander.xyz instance is exactly this for science
Uh… Ask, I guess?
Yeah, it has all the same problems that (pre-Musk) Twitter did. Centralization was never the problem, turns out. IMO it’s just the basic central premise that everyone is talking to everyone, all the time. When your brain does that, it’s called a seizure.
Plus tons and tons of furries, which like… you do you, but it becomes a huge ongoing effort just to keep furry porn out of a lot of the feeds, if that’s not your bag.
Now you’ll have a zillion users trying to install software in ways that violate all the assumptions that NixOS operates on, but which are still tightly coupled to your NixOS config. Now updates to your system, or even seemingly unrelated config changes (through some transitive dependency chain) can easily break that software.
So now we’ve basically removed half the advantages that motivate Nix/OS in the first place, and when stuff breaks it will look like it’s Nix’s fault, even if it isn’t.
On the other hand, nixpkgs is already the most comprehensive repository of system software out there, and for 99% of packages Nixifying it is pretty trivial. Hell, my NixOS config does that for 3 different GitHub repos right inline in my config.nix
The bashrc poisoning thing was sarcastic. the point is it’s not important as an attack vector because if that’s even part of your surface area, then the attacker is already pretty well into your system
If your system uses 3 different Pythons as dependencies of different packages, which one gets to be /usr/bin/python?
Not sure about 1, but 2 and 3 both have the same answer. Both TSInstall and Mason are just trying to install other software packages on your system, and you’re on NixOS, so of course they can’t do that. You don’t install your software, you declare it. Add the Treesitter parsers you need right next to your plugins (there is a sub collection under the vimPlugins collection just for Treesitter parsers), and put whatever Mason would be installing into your user packages instead.
That said, I agree with the other commenter. Even though the community has done a lot of work on rich config options for Neovim, they’re just too far away from the normal way of doing things in the Neovim world, and plenty of plugins are written in ways that assume it’s configured in “normal” ways. Plus configuring Neovim is already kinda like assembling your own car from parts in any case, so it’s honestly better to just use nix to install Lazyvim or whatever flavor of choice and let it handle the plugin management/config. And believe me, I really tried to do it all in Nix, I wanted to do it that way. But it’s just not worth the headache at this point
Because allowing them would be functionally the same as requiring them. Especially when there’s already a “primary” no-PED league.
I don’t really know what “original use” would mean – most emojis aren’t really made with some specific usage in mind, they’re just pictograms. The use is to be able to show a skull when you wanna
I’ve blocked multiple hundreds of communities, so if there is it’s high enough to not matter much
This – I think this is probably starting to die out already, but there was a massive wave of startups whose “product” basically amounts to a prompt template that they fill in with your input and pass along to ChatGPT. Any early stage startup getting plugged on HN or whatever, you can assume there’s at least a 60% chance it’s pure smoke and mirrors, and that percentage only climbs the more buzzwords it includes.
14 years, 51k comment karma. It definitely feels very strange to leave it all behind.
I used to have an occasional habit of scrolling back through my own comments. It took me a long time to understand why. I don’t really participate in real-identity social media since I stopped using Facebook like a decade ago. So as an avid commenter for so long, my Reddit history is pretty much the most thorough and incisive chronicle of my own thoughts and evolution as a person. Almost a memoir. Seeing the types of stuff I was into, the way I thought and wrote, my opinions on the world, and how they changed over such a long period of time is really valuable to me.
Fortunately you can file a GDPR request and get a copy of the whole thing for yourself.
Everyone is talking about dominant and recessive genes, so I just want to clarify a couple things.
The way your body directly uses genes is as a blueprint to construct proteins. Your cells are always producing proteins from the genes in all your chromosomes. It has complex ways of regulating how much of each it produces, but your body doesn’t care what chromosome it’s coming from. Once an embryo is fertilized, there’s really no distinction between “mom” chromosomes or “dad” chromosomes, as far as the embryo and its protein machinery are concerned.
“Dominant” and “recessive” characterization is about how those proteins affect your body at the macro scale, not whether your body actually uses the gene and produces its proteins – it always does that. For example, brown hair is a dominant trait, and blonde is recessive. But this is because producing any amount of brown pigment will make your hair brown, regardless of what other pigments you’re making, simply because it’s darker. Literally the same as combining blonde and brown paint. It has nothing to do with whether the genes are actually being expressed – the brown hair gene doesn’t stop the blonde hair gene from making its pigments.
