"The Atomic Bomb Considered As Hungarian High School Science Fair Project"

This was one of the most fascinating things I've read all year. Thank you for posting

I really like Immich, although recently their android app randomly decided to go out of sync with my library and stop backing up automatically :/

That happened to me yesterday and got solved on its own automatically.

If it happens next time, will check app logs (Profile Icon > Logs) to see if it contains anything useful

I built mine around an N150 board off of aliexpress. 6 SATA slots, 4x2.5G ethernet, 2x m.2 slots. Find a cheap second-hand case, a bit of RAM and you're ready to go. It's got hardware transcoding, handles 4K without breaking a sweat. And it consumes 6W!

I'm more inclined to go with N305/N355 myself for the extra compute (more images/containers). But they're a pretty decent option. I setup a "forbidden router" at a friend's using one. Been working great for his home use... proxmox, opnsense for routing, wireguard, pihole, docker-vm running his AP control software, and a trunas scale VM serving a USB hard drive for home backups.

At home, I'm using a 5900H based mini-pc I bought a few years ago and a synology nas.

Theranos famously didn't manage to raise VC money, the funding all came from people like Rupert Murdoch and the Walton family.

That makes a lot of sense. VCs only make money when companies go public, so a medical device that requires years of regulatory compliance legwork to even be allowed into a lab or pharmacy is an immediate no-go.

It's bad on purpose to make you click.

I completely agree with this evaluation, I dropped it as well fairly early on.

People with aphantasia are actually _better_ at mental rotation tests! Lack of visualization is no obstacle to the brain, which of course has all sorts of interesting implications.

Fascinating. Thank you for providing the paper. As someone with moderate aphantasia, it didn’t even occur to me that people performed “mental rotation” versus “analytic” strategies.

What analytic strategies do you utilise ? I'm heavily on the mental rotation camp, I suppose.

All psychological traits are highly heritable. See eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4739500/

All traits, psychological or otherwise are heritable. The hard question to answer is how predictive those inherited genetics are relative to other factors.

Yes, but tiny variations in phenotype will foster rather largely different outcomes. People forget that a lot of your genetic traits are there as potential, but not as fact. Its not even necessarily and upbringing thing. Epigenetica systems, multi generation genetic markings (like famine). Its very hard to say how a certain genetic trait becomes an observed psychological trait.

Everything search is the most befuddling one. The delta between Everything and the built-in Windows search can only be described as monumental. A vast gulf. They do not even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence. Just fucking buy the thing and integrate it, what could they possibly be thinking?

Nature, uh, finds a way.

Keep absolutely still. Its vision is based on movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W85oD8FEF78
