Methods sections are limited in word count, and if a lab is hoping to get a few more papers out of a paradigm, they may be intentionally terse. There's a big difference between how we write protocols in-house and how we write limited-length methods sections.

Nothing in the Frontiers is reputable among scientists. It gets linked a lot on Reddit because it's open access, but scientists tend to view it as essentially the not-actually-peer-reviewed equivalent of a preprint. In the past, if all reviewers recommend rejection at Frontiers, the editor would be forcibly assigned new reviewers by the publishing staff. This would continue until the manuscript would get accepted. Not sure if that's still the same (I've blocked all Frontiers emails), but it's not correct to call a Frontiers journal a major reputable journal.

If you don't already have some form of metal that has been intentionally added to your body, my guess is that you will before you die.

The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I'm amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.

Maybe, but at least some folks have less of it. Me, for example. On Reddit, I generally assumed most folks were from the US, or bots. On here, I generally assume folks are equally--if not more--likely to be from a country in Europe, or Canada. I also see way more German representation here than I did on Reddit.

I actually don't know the way you're supposed to beat Super Metroid "correctly." I've always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.

I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don't play the player's choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

Mrs. Davis is one of my favorite shows period. That was a masterpiece.

While we're on a thread about English grammar, "who's" means "who is." The possessive of "who" is "whose."

Sorry.

You can buy a share or two of TSLQ to hedge against TSLA while still holding your index funds

 

This pauses disbursement of all federal loans and prohibits new scientific grant funding indefinitely. As written, this appears to apply to student loans, as those are disbursed via universities--not directly from the Dept of Education. It explicitly requires cancellation of awarded scientific grant funding that is in conflict with the current administration.

 
 
 

Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn't what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, "So, rocks are conscious?" This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism.

Now, we have made rocks represent pins and switches, enabling us to use them as computers. We made them complex enough that we developed neural networks and created large language models--the most complex of which have nodes that represent space, time, and the abstraction of truth, according to some papers. So many people are convinced these things are conscious, which has many suggesting that everything may be conscious to some degree.

In other words, the possibility of rocks being conscious is now commonly used to argue in favor of panpsychism, when previously it was used to argue against it.

 
 

I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don't get why it's so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn't do it for me. What am I missing?
