In my experience, AI models are fairly good at contextual search. That’s the only thing I use them for.

PortProton is a mighty thing in my experience. Has both a game library and the ability to add apps to app menu in two clicks.

As the name implies, offers a wide offering of Proton versions (Steam, GE, CachyOS, GDK, EM, Sarek, version for HoYoPlay…), as well as Wine. Can detect popular games and choose perfect settings. Has one-click installs for some popular games and launchers. Available as Flatpak.

Downsides: the only languages available are English, Russian and Spanish, and advanced config can be more involved than with Lutris. In fairness though, you’ll barely ever need it.

China is mostly focused on economic growth, which they don’t need to go to cold war over. Their political ambitions are mostly focused on the nearby regions.

For the US leaders, however, it’s a matter of global political dominance, which they are losing.

To be more precise, both China and the US pursue economic dominance, but they do so through different means. China makes high-risk, high-reward investments, and the US militarily forces the countries under their influence. So, it’s only a “war” for the US, while China is totally fine with multipolar world.

It was somewhat different with USSR, where it was indeed political on both ends.

Final boss

We all know analysts with fancy chromatographs are the coolest

The most interesting part is that you can make 0 squares and still have a square

More square holes = more surface = more syrup in the dip!

not that different now, are we

Took same action. Can’t have an up-to-spec homelab unfortunately, but got a good storage upgrade.

Had some gems recently indeed

It’s “удачи”=good luck!

This is regular scientific hedging.

This thing, even if it turns out to be real good, it’s years away from being a marketable product. And it’s alright! It says more about sensationalism in scientific communication.

Because 70’s were WILD for that shit.

Should I remind you that street marches were held in the name of “adult-child love”? That NAMBLA, a North-American Man-Boy Love Association (you can’t make this shit up) tried to meddle with LGBTQ+ to get included? That songs were written about teenage girls being taught “adult love”?

If anything, the article is characteristic of the time.

Urea cycle is a real boss indeed. Remember having that in my exams

Appreciate the nuance, though I think that “house as equity” thing should definitely be dismantled, at least over time.

House is a place to live, period. The rest is a fucked predicament we found ourselves in thanks to big investors.

But yes, first house should be made super accessible, and any subsequent ones could be sold for a major markup.

If it’s no more than 2 months old, I’ll take it for research

Yes, normally the harmless strains of Penicillium roqueforti or something of the like.

We do use molds in food and pharmaceutical industry, not all of them are bad. Aspergillus oryzae, for example, is used to produce soy sauce, miso, and sake, and Aspergillus niger is a likely source of citric acid you have in your kitchen cabinet.

Natural pizza mold, however, contains nasty kinds of Penicillium, as well as Rhizopus stolonifer causing severe infections in respiratory system, mouth, nose, and face. Most cases can be treated in a hospital environment, but some are fatal, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

A lovely builder’s snack!

Exactly. Yes, I know they claim it’s just the UI, and the sole purpose of closed-source code is to make it harder to steal innovative UI elements - but when it comes to something as sensitive as the browser, I’d like for these claims to be verifiable.

Vivaldi is in big part closed source, so we literally don’t know what it does behind the scenes

I haven’t in years anyway

Exactly why they can pull off anything like that. People who still stay with Chrome are mostly those who’ll eat it up anyway.
