It’s everybody’s responsibility to get fucking literate in the use of media. Examples like these are harmless and just point out how easy it is for malicious actors, be it states, political partys, or other groups and individuals, to spread disinformation.
The use of AI tools such as LLMs makes this even more important. - Comment on vacation 1 week ago:
My therapist already knows. Not much we can currently do about it. There is also plenty to deal with so this is also conparably low on the priority list.

It helps to survive. You can still critizice the fucked system while suffering less from it. Often that’s the best one can do.

I havedbeen and still am in therapy for a couple of years now. I would still like to be lost at sea to get such a break. (Provided I can easily survive that.)

Bring ‘fucking’ into it and even native speakers say how fucking delicious the food was.
It’s funny how it suddenly appears to work with “fucking” but “very” is weird.
- Comment on Your grammar lesson for today 3 weeks ago:
You can put ‘very’ before every suggested alternative. What then?

What about ‘very gimungous’?

If my quick maths has the correct assumptions, then we can store 225 Petabytes of data in the balls.
Human sperm contains about 3 million base pairs (haploid genome).
Each base pair of DNA (A, C, G, T) is encodable with 2 bits.
3 million * 2 bits / 8 (to convert in bytes) = 750 MB.
Using a rough and imprecise average of 300 million sperm cells stored in testicles, we get:
300 million * 750 MB = 225 PB.Plenty of space for your savegame data!

Strawberries are not berries (but aggregate accessory fruits). Cucumber, watermelon and pumpkin belong to the same family of plants. Tomatoes are fruit. Well botanically, vegetables do not exist anyway. Vegetables are a social construct. Also, wheat is a kind of grass. Isn’t our world beautiful?

And now bring artificial neural networks, i.e., AI, into the picture to make it even more spicy.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 2 months ago:
Not using colors in scientific writing is discarding a valuable information channel and therefore inefficient. When you are already limited in the allowed word count, this can speed up conveying information and reduce cognitive strain on readers (and possibly yourself). So it’s a win-win.
This should not end in chaos though, where colours are more confusing than helpful.
The times when we had to print out each and every single page on a crappy black/white office printer are luckily becoming more and more a thing of the past. So even this is no longer a good reason to not use colours.

- Comment on really makes you think 4 months ago:
Different waters taste differently. Tap water taste differs from region to region. Bottled water tastes differently between brands and also compared to tap water. This is also caused by varying amounts of minerals.
If you think your sense of taste works fine, but can not tell taste differences in water, try making direct comparisons. Take some bottled water and some tap water (if it is safe for drinking whereever you live). Then take a sip, focus on the taste. Try making out differences. Repeat a couple of times.
If you still can’t make out any differences and you weren’t impatient, it might be worth training your sense of taste first, because water does have a flavour. - Comment on I love science 4 months ago:

Is your resume clearly AI generated? (Yes means I pass) If I can’t tell it’s AI, I don’t care.
What are your criteria to judge whether a resume was “clearly AI generated”?
Have you been at prior jobs for more than a year. One job less than a year is fine, more is a trend
How is that relevant? Especially if you do not know the reasons. Maybe someone had a bad luck streak and was very unhappy at the prior employers. Someone does not necessarily know things like these beforehand. That’s what probation periods are there for. Speaking of: there are multiple companies who hire people just for a short amount of time and fire them before the end of the probation. Basically exploiting the system. You will never be able to infer the real reasons just by looking at a piece of paper with a list of previous work experiences. You would need to talk to those people. Otherwise this selection criterion seems arbitrary.

- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 5 months ago:
Just a little nitpick: vegans are omnivores too. Afaik, being omnivorous describes the biological ability to digest plant matter and meat (and fungi ). Voluntarily restricting ones diet for whatever reason does not remove this ability.
