- Comment on Alexa, how do I remove cooties? 1 day ago:
I think a healthy body could survive a single instantaneous disappearance of current mRNA, as long as the mechanisms to create more mRNA remain functional. All cells would just respond to new conditions more slowly and less effectively for a few minutes to hours, leaving the body vulnerable to disbalancing conditions such as infections. Some cells would die but most of them can be replaced in days.
On the other hand, deleting DNA (and thus preventing the creation of RNA) cannot be survived. A great exploration of such scenario is in the No More DNA chapter in What If? by Randall Munroe: the syptoms would be like eating an Amanita mushroom such as the “Destroying Angel”, whose amatoxin prevents DNA transcription, or acute gamma irradiation. The patient is fine for a few hours (or less with a theoretical DNA wipe), then start exhibiting cholera-like symptoms (vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea), then they start to feel better. However, at that point, since cells can’t divide, immune system collapse or systemwide organ failure is inevitable.

Yup. Letters ≠ phonemes and in this case, even the character is different: r ≠ ɹ.

Well, the top cap apparently needs to be torn off to read the sentence, lowering the shelf appeal of the product even though there are other tamper-evident seals present.
- Comment on You can drive 74 hours and still be in Germany. The American mind can't comprehend this. 3 weeks ago:
Actually, driving without a destination is forbidden in Germany. It’s unenforceable in most cases because it’s easy to claim a fake reason but if you keep circling a roundabout, there is a case to be made against you.
- Comment on Could you fcking not. 4 weeks ago:
I’m wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).
Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract’s ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there’s going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

- Comment on Paradise Satellite 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if a model could actually do pixel art the “classic” way. It wouldn’t take much processing to identify pixel grids in existing pixel art and convert them to native resolution for training.
- Comment on Paradise Satellite 4 weeks ago:
Nice except the planet’s atmosphere has no pixellation, and the pixel grid is inconsistent overall. Also, the colors are not limited to a palette.

Nope, same problem as linear. Can you get angle correct to 4 decimal places and prevent the contact from oxidation?
“Digital potentiometers” are rotary encoders, which are switches, not resistive dividers.
Another option is a multi-pole rotary switch with selectable resistors in each position, but that only gives you the available values.
They are all larger and more expensive. Just use two E12 resistors in parallel or series, you can always get within 1 %. They cost a dime a dozen.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 5 weeks ago:
The least reliable resistor. Not to mention the trial-and-error getting it close enough to the target value.

Unfortunately, some signatures will be invalidated because people make mistakes or are assholes so it’s best to aim for 120%.
