- Comment on Felt the need to carve a pumpkin this year, and so attempted to depict my favourite video game spooky guys 1 week ago:
Beautifully carved! Just to be certain though: This is about Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye, right?

I have seen this (or a very similar) picture about five years ago and have thought about it nearly every time I heard the name Radcliffe. I am very thankful that you posted it here and I can finally save it as a reference.
- Comment on Relativity 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for giving this reference! The book is out of print, but high-resolution scans can be downloaded here for free, which is endorsed by the original author apparently.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 months ago:
I love your enthusiasm! But as someone who works in semiconductor development, I feel a bit like it is time to abandon this branch of the technology tree for now again. Maybe I am just disheartened from the PhD stress, but where does it really lead to right now? Following up on Moore’s Law right now just seems to promise higher efficiency and lower electricity demands while actually that is mainly greenwashing attempt IMO (lower resolution technologies are more energy and resurce efficient when considering resource demand during production; high device density leads usually to increase of the number of transistors which are operated parallely, so while the single FET is more efficient in dynamic operation, the whole chip might have much higher leakage). At the same time this efficiency is used as justification to just increase the calculation load whithout considering if it is useful (e.g. LLMs). Resources might be better allocated for More than Moore/architectural approaches e.g. for neuromorphic computing to actually reduce the immense AI computing load coming up.
Sorry for the rant, I think I gotta quit my job.

I wish I could do some more reading, I just never do because my higher-ups bombard me with tasks and want me to publish all my results right away no matter how much background I know.

- Comment on you miss all the shots you don't take 3 months ago:
Exactly. This will not have an effect on a regular reviewer who plays by the rules. But if they try to let an LLM do their reviewing job, it is fair to prevent negative consequences for your paper in this way.

Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 5 months ago:
There is different health implications connected to microplastics like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, although the connections are not quite understood yet. The amount of microplastics in the human body is very alarming though. A study with brain samples found 0.5w% of plastics, which corresponds to roughly 6g of plastic in a brain. That’s a credit card’s worth of plastic.
This article should give some overview over different findings and implications:

They didn’t really get the importance of handwashing before the 1840s as far as I know.

- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 6 months ago:
Would densest substance on earth be accurate or are there denser substances like alloys or non-standard crystal configurations of other elements which are denser than pure osmium?

Awesome, thanks a lot!

I recently got an MRI and wondered about 3D printing my brain as well. Is there any kind of standard conversion software to get an .stl file out of my MRI data or how did you go about it?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 8 months ago:
At the latest after decarbonization of the power grid (yes I am laughing as I write this), we will want to remove CO2 from the air which was emitted 50 years ago. Also I would like to point out that the IPCC scenarios about reducing global warming already include carbon capture. Plans to remove CO2 from energy production till 2035 already only work under the premise that we actively start removing CO2 from the atmosphere simultaneously.

It’s not the different places and times your body parts stop that kill you. It is the inflexibility of your connecting body parts inbetween?

There is also this particular tone of light brownish green which is on so many industrial tools like drill presses, table top saws and so on. I kinda dig it

I’m looking forward to LLMs copying the gibberish german communities like to use. It is very common there to translate things word for word without any regard for correct german grammar or understandibility.

Yes, it is fascinating indeed, how applicable to many different actions and intentions that statement was. Thank you for pointing it out.

I’m on board with ‘living on Mars makes no sense’ at least until we really run out of space here, but we have much more pressing issues before that. But I doubt Venus being more suitable. The high atmospheric temperature of Venus (~460°C) is pretty harsh and it is much more easy to heat than to cool stuff down. The high pressure also makes getting there difficult with the hard entry. Mars at least has a similat rotation period to earth.
