It does not have nerves, yet it feels pain. It does not have a mouth, yet it must scream. And until recently: death only made it so so much stronger!

reinei@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If your username would predict the way you die, how will it happen?4·2 months agoYeah, likely commands such as, but not limited to: “I told you to take the last boat out of here!” Or “I won’t need the log book where I am going so you better take it to draw inside while you wait for rescue you idiot!”
reinei@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I want a programming language that supports German style composite words3·2 months agoSo Nat Fibonacci(Nat n) { …} ? Because Ganz would be signed int so Nat should be unsigned int?
reinei@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Gotta use those quantum numbers for peak 🤌 random randomness7·4 months agoWasn’t it a dice roll that decided that? 🤔
But/and also also, just because you might know what a multiplication is you still might not know how to use that to make audio louder! (You might say “well just add to the loudness!” or if you actually know it’s not that easy you might say “just multiply it by 2!”, but the computer doesn’t simply take “audio” it takes some form of bytes in an array encoding said audio, let’s say PCM to make it easier, and you still need to know how to loop over that and multiply every value by 2 to double the physical volume.)

Great one! (Not just a nice one, a great one even.)
Now get out! Just Get Out!
reinei@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Since we have CRISPR and all the other cool stuff with gene splicing, might we be able to give ourselves gills one day?4·6 months agoSo do I understand correctly that a certain hox gene is activated in basically all cells which are in the “domain” of a certain vertebrae and they all activate some subset of homeobox genes which in combination with the original hox gene cause them to start turning into all the different parts associated with that vertebrae (so organs and other structures)?
Would we then need an entirely new hox gene to produce even a single gill? (I know you basically just laid out most of a response to this question.) Because I would assume although the exact point at which the development of our arms and legs begins is part of the whole hox gene “superstructure”, but couldn’t we ‘basically just’ highjack this same system and duplicate this gene to produce at least a single gill in the region where the current hox gene for our neck is expressed?
Long story short: what is the biggest reason why we can’t just hack into a later part of the sequence and continue on from there with what you said?
Or would your proposed plan also just end up like this in the final product and you laid it out like this because it’s already the most viable route into this mess? 😅
reinei@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a creepy or weird fact that would scare even the bravest person?26·6 months agoAnd that’s the thing:
Assuming it did, you couldn’t see it approach until it hit you because it’s moving at the speed of light! It could also have happened, but just super far away such that it will never reach us due to expansion between its origin point and us being faster than c!
Also just because the universe is frickin old doesn’t mean it is statistically bound to have happened. There are plenty of ways of making it even more astronomically unlikely but still possible…
reinei@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?2·6 months agoThanks for sharing this as well! I also just imaged a detached hand + short bit of lower arm pushing the ball (for which I did imagine it to be of a gray shiny metal slightly larger than the hand)!
And I also imaged a super plain square wooden table so when the questions about the person hit I was super confused wether or not this counted as aphantasia or not (because I am fairly certain that I don’t have it…)
reinei@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Almost nine gigabytes in size: Windows update 24H2 creates an undeletable cache fileEnglish1·7 months agoExcept most of those people who don’t know enough to recover most likely also use the default “all your data are belong to OneDrive” and thus won’t lose absolutely everything and no one group of livid people will both be livid enough and big enough at the same time for a lot to change…
It’s a wheel, it’s supposed to turn over and over and over and infinitum!
/S (because it’s big sarcasm instead of small.)
So is that the “Zange”? Because you need to go from the things you are holding (the information, in “German”) to the hinge (the literal English translation) and back down again (actual German translation) to understand (aka grasp it)‽

Keikaku means cake! (Muffin to be precise, because we got the muffin button!)
Welcome to Greece! No, not our modern Greece, the old timey write philosophical questions into the dirt with sticks and argue with your best homies about it kind of Greece!
Want to compute something? Hope you got all your steps in linear order so you don’t have to remember too much in between other steps!
/s (but not really so I totally am on your side, original formulations of math problems are a pain…)
Also that’s literally Sir Primitive Technology on that picture, so you had nothing to worry about even from the start!
Okay first of all this message is really nicely written to explain multi collision attacks! (I knew some stuff about hashing and collision attacks before but not about multi collision and why that would be really useful here.)
However, I first thought they were looking for inputs which basically preserve a known state and then generating an alphabet with those kinds of blocks (basically have one for each symbol and up to n additional blocks to “reset” the state to the known value) because that could shrink the size of stored blocks by a lot (I’d imagine).
But now I am wondering if that’s even possible currently (even with an algorithm as “broken” as MD5 has become now)?
reinei@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Comment on a YT video about Windows on ARM3·10 months agoExcept you already have that update installed, the box is not checked and the entry is still respected, nobody could possibly tell you why because that’s not how it’s supposed to work and everyone else works as stated! And now you have to live with the knowledge that your system is in some unobserved quantum superposition with a critical fix in place which may stop working at any moment for any reason and nobody can tell you how you even managed to get into this situation…
But stores this information as a metadata file, which gets invalidated when a new file is added/removed from the program muhahaha!
If everything is exported and the switch is -usa you wouldn’t need tariffs though, right? Because exporting everything would close the trade deficit 🙊
