Since no one is actually answering your question. This was published about 2 weeks ago: arxiv.org/abs/2508.18519
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 4 days ago:
Wrong. Flat Earthers do think the Earth is round.
The rest of us think it’s spherical.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 5 days ago:
Easier communication. Thousands of people each living far apart had no way to amplify each other. Immigrants were mostly centered around cities, thus the rural divide.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 1 week ago:
You are not alone, soooo many people, myself included, are like this. As are many with ADHD.
For me, I found listing out the things I want to do for each project (the details, not the name of the project), and putting them all low priority works. Then I move a few to high priority and tell myself those are my “tasks” for the week.
That stops me from going down the rabbit hole pretty well, while still enjoying my time. I find the number of tasks fluctuates, mainly because after a while of shifting between TV, games, and reading in the gaps, I get that feeling of wanting more productivity being fun back. Which sounds like the feeling you want.

I forgive you.
- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 1 week ago:
Some suggestions from an older internet rando:
Don’t dwell on the past, embrace it.
You worked your way up to a D3 runner, due 100% to your hard work, and despite the adversity of those who didn’t believe in you. Look back on that time as a challenge you overcame, and what brought you to the environment you are in today. Congratulations.
Consider telling your parents how you feel.
Right now, they are going around thinking that they pushed you hard, and that pushing is what got you where you are today. They are proud, of you for sure, but also of themselves as parents. Everyone, even your parents have the ability to learn where they were wrong, so consider opening up to them about how you appreciated their honestly, but their methods of delivering it hindered vs helped.
If you decide to do this, treat the conversation like your parents are the children, staying calm and informative, and you might be surprised how “adult” they treat you. And if they don’t, their loss.
Forgive, and move forward.
They did teach you to be reasonable, and try to remember it’s unlikely they meant purposeful harm. Regardless of if you discuss it with them, try to recognize it is your life now, and you get to choose how intactions go from here. Good luck in your races!

I informed someone that had recently moved to the area that there was a water main break and you had to boil water. They brought me a jug of water from Walmart as a thanks. Now we are married. Go tell random attractive people.

My belt is adjustable, magnetic closure, and has a lifetime warranty. This guy has the wrong belt.

Is there a reference for this?

I… Yea. Nice.
- Comment on Best Co-Op Games? 1 week ago:
If you look for titles that were in arcades, or a list of them online, especially “top” lists, you’ll get a good starting point.
Arcade games stayed on the floor because they were fun for groups, so if it stuck around, it was probably a good one.

Ah yes, if I remember right he referenced this when he said it.
- Comment on Vague design choice 2 weeks ago:
Technology Connections would say: Read the manual.
- Comment on cycle 2 weeks ago:
Fair. I will say I’ve had relationships with women who’s cycles have been more level and others who go through major swings, including on the horny scale. So maybe it’s just that my exposure to that gives a different context to the meme.
- Comment on cycle 2 weeks ago:
I would suggest you educate yourself on women’s biology. It will help you immensely in relationships.
- Comment on 4011 2 weeks ago:
10% of countries is still a large population, and given the list, a large portion of globally traded food.
You also didn’t factor in GS1 being a member, which serves 115 countries. Surely all of them aren’t also using PLU, but they wouldn’t be a member if some portion of their base wasn’t.
After going down the rabbit hole, too, I wish they just had a clear country listing vs having to read about the members. So dumb.

@Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works the above comment answers your question.
- Comment on I blew the whistle on workplace abuses at ZA/UM. In return, ZA/UM tried to defame me. 2 weeks ago:
Since OP didn’t mention, the pasted content is not the full article. Click through and read it if you like, as since it’s Medium, it helps the author out. 😉
- Comment on Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans? 2 weeks ago:
A lot of answers here, but some are dated, as the “fix” isn’t in the models. MCP is a main fix for items like this. It’s a standardized protocol for LLMs to talk to tools and data stores, like calculators and dictionaries. This way the token effect doesn’t matter, and system prompts only need a small configuration which process much faster.

- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 3 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t, and I think the other responder, while saying a true fact, may have misunderstood this question’s purpose.
The hoodie will only work with cameras that support IR night vision (most security cameras, no IR filter), but won’t work for most others (phones, dash cams, SLRs (filtered)).
And the dork in me must say, Raspberry Pi offers their Camera Modules in both formats, because noyce.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 4 weeks ago:
Soaps and oils and no airflow. Hang cloths out of the closet the day before you wear (or rewear) them. Hangout outside not in direct sunlight works even better.
And to original OP, any dust added that day will shake off.
- Comment on Seems like the obvious way to do it? 4 weeks ago:
Most likely. Repeated creasing of a bag sheds much more than a rigid surface. It’s the same reason why you shouldn’t squeeze single-use plastic water bottles (or really buy them to begin with).
