This is cool and disclaimer, I did not watch the whole video but was mostly interested in the quality control.
There is one big reason such a device is so expensive, as for just about every experiment you need complete confidence in its precision. So a commercial device is built to provide that. This might be “less important” in an academic setting where malfunction will just annoy the postdoc, but gets a bit more important in a commercial setting where money is on the line. I guess that is not the use case for this though.
I don’t see him do any proper QC though, showing colors looking relatively even and getting pretty gradients is nice, but there can still be considerable variation between plates or wells here that are not visible to the eye.
I haven’t done any proper calibration myself for a while now, but usually one would use a liquid that has some light absorption that can be measured in a plate reader. So you can get actual experimental numbers for the variation between wells but also plates.
And if he does that it would probably help a lot to compare it with the commercial device, how close is he to that standard of quality?
- Comment on Amazon Luna Removing Paid Games And Offering No Refunds 1 week ago:
RIP.
Genuinely only used this to redeem games on GOG whenever I had a free Prime subscription.
Otherwise this is as expected though. A subscription service (unless you could use it without prime?) only selling licenses to game use, not the actual games.
If Steam shut down it would likely work the same way.

Every time. Every time when its a meme or article about the “end of the world”, every time someone, maybe more than just one person, just has to make this profound statement.

I think there’s a lot more LLMs/AI agents posting than you think. Not saying OP is one, but I am noting “a lot” (subjective) of accounts somehow only posting questions like this and only commenting in their own threads. No other activity. I can tag them in my app, easier to keep track of weird behaviours like that.

When I recently played I found selling off fossils you found can get some decent money in too. But you need the museum and have them identified, or maybe that worked before the museum too? Cannot remember.
- Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good? 1 month ago:
Oh man, that part of the immune system development is probably my favourite. Specifically how in the world the body us able to detect theoretically basically anything that can exist.
This is probably going to deep but you can read a bit on wikipedia if you are interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V(D)J_recombination
And to pivot back what you asked, the part where the immune system can detect anything that exists would of course be bad if it detects your own body too, since it attacks what it can detect.
So theres like a training camp for immune cells where they are tested if they can detect your own body’s cells. And if they can, they are killed off. Therefore anything that is left can distinguish between what is good (you) and what is bad (other stuff).
There’s lots of other mechanisms around that though, otherwise allergies or intolerances wouldn’t exist, of course.

How would he even go about removing it. Its not like “the files” are a stack of random paper pages in a safe somewhere.

That’s… not how you use that meme. This is already the second time I see someone use that meme weirdly wrong.
You and the other person are supposed to do the exact same thing, but for different reasons and usually yours are more controversial. Like in this post it does not make sense at all.

I like it, but their subscription or high price paid app model is not something I agree with.
At least they have written a long page explaining their motivation with it, but this is still way more than I would ever pay for a launcher on my phone.

Seriously? How has no one suggested Untitled Goose Game or did I miss it? It is frigging hilarious and if you both like humor and fooling around as a mischievous goose, it is perfect! I played it with my 7 year old and we had tons of fun, plus the ending was the cherry on top!

I try to see it positively. Thanks to tracking with dates of responses and so on, I can ease my mind by simply telling myself if after a certain number of weeks I had no response then I probably got rejected. If I happen to get a very late response/interview still, jackpot, otherwise I am sure they rejected me already.
The only problem is the growing number of rows in that list over time…

They do seem to have quality products though. Got a Steamdeck skin you call it from them and it fit really well.
Will however never order again because the import tax I paid on it was ridiculuous, not dbrands fault, I just hadn’t ordered anything from US for a while… and now won’t anymore. - Comment on IF NO HEN 3 months ago:

- Comment on Accuweather handling rain and snow differently 3 months ago:
Isn’t that just standard convention? Rain is always measured in mm, and Snow makes no sense to measure in a unit as small as mm, therefore cm.
May be related to that rain is measured by filling up a measuring cylinder standing around. Doesn’t really work with snow as it takes a bit before it packs nicely.
