Thanks for doing the extra labor here.

Your first time flying!? Haha. Sorry! It really isn't like that normally. 🤣 Fortunately pilots can avoid those things. 😁

Had to look up several articles to better understand the shortage and it is still not entirely clear to me. Seems to be numerous factors all affecting Japan at the same time. I don't envy them. increased prices in staple foods is really hard.

But being accurate with the headline makes it less click baity. 😏 Honestly, this article is scant on details.

Data centers don't usually have an "X-ray polarization detector for picking up brief cosmic phenomena." Like you said, it seems more like a scientific tool than an actual "data center."

They've certainly had to come up with some way to effectively radiate the heat into space. The article doesn't mention it though. i presume it's one of the main reasons for networking so many machines together?

Exactly, there's a lot of different factors that can affect cognition.

Thanks for the share. This article led to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_hermaphroditism and then further down the rabbit hole. Hermaphroditism is wild.

Thanks for sharing this. It was an informative read and quite relevant.

This website's use of stock images and gifs were aggravating. The actual case study was worth the read, but only covers a single pair of individuals: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886922001477

It's certainly interesting. I'm particularly curious about the effects of the multiple confusions:

US had three concussions as an adult, caused by car accidents and from falling on ice. The most recent and severe incident occurred in January 2018, resulting in classic symptoms of light sensitivity and concentration difficulty. US feels she is a “different person,” with increased anger and anxiety. She requires additional time to process information in some problem-solving situations, although she has always seen herself as a poor test taker.

Some of the conclusions seemed a stretch for a single sample. I'm much more curious about more extensive studies with many more subjects.

“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.

😂

Speaking to advertisers, Reinhard claimed that ad subscribers spend 41 hours per month on Netflix on average.

🤣

 

I have finally figured out a way to poorly and incorrectly mispronounce "dólares" so that it would finally let me through the exercises that include numbers and money. There is no single word it has struggled to understand more than that one. And trust me, I am saying it correctly. Good grief!

What about you? What words does Duo refuse to accept from you?

Does anyone know where I could find comparisons of the various Lemmy clients available? I'd like to see something contrasting things like app maturity, features available, update release frequency, and etc?

I'm looking to try out some of the more mature clients since the one I'm using (Boost) has been exhibiting some problems for me recently. I wanted to narrow down the cause of the problem and will be trying other clients to make sure my instance isn't the issue. I'm writing this from Eternity (Nightly).

 

Is there a way to enable logs outputs? I'm getting pretty regular timeout errors on my primary instance of choice. I'd really like to know more details about what's going on.

Time outs (lemmy.ca)

Ever since things came back up after the Jan 5th outage, I've started to encounter regular timeouts. I will scroll past a couple dozen number posts and then it will stop as of there are no more. Within a few seconds, the application produces a time out error.

I use Boost for Lemmy as my client, but I'm not convinced that the issue is the app since switching my instance allows me to continue scrolling without a problem. And to be clear, prior to January 5th, I've never experienced a timeout in the app.

I'm curious if I'm the only one experiencing timeouts on Lemmy.ca. If so, then I'm curious if the admins are aware of any issue.

[10 Feb 2025 Update: After Lemmy.ca was updated to 0.19.9, cloudflare account changed, and their hardware infrastructure replaced... everything has started functioning normally again. I can't say what the cause was yet, but the WebUI and any connected app is scrolling through feeds without any timeouts now. 💯]

 

EDIT: I find the article interesting, but not in the good sense. I'm glad to know, but it only leaves me feeling achy.

I also find the down votes for this post interesting. The source is trustworthy and accurately reflects the US American populace. Perhaps the negative votes simply reflect how many, including myself, feel about this news in general.

 

“It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor.

 

Older article (2023), but sharing for those unawares.

The birds - which have been around since the prehistoric Pleistocene era - were officially declared extinct in 1898.

After their rediscovery in 1948, conservationists began collecting and incubating eggs from wild takahē, to prevent them from being eaten by predators

 

This kid really is incredible! I heard him and his mother interviewed today on All Things Considered. Managed to find this Audubon article to show my family. It links TikTok videos that show off what he can do. I don't really know how to share those directly and they often don't work for me because of registration requirements. I think they should work for at least one listen for you all though.

The Biden administration is doing the best they can possibly do. /s

How do you teach a bird how, and where, to fly?

The distinctive Northern Bald Ibis, hunted essentially to extinction by the 17th century, was revived by breeding and rewilding efforts over the last two decades. But the birds — known for their distinctive black-and-iridescent green plumage, bald red head and long curved beak — don’t instinctively know which direction to fly to migrate without the guidance of wild-born elders. So a team of scientists and conservationists stepped in as foster parents and flight instructors.

“We have to teach them the migration route,” said biologist Johannes Fritz.

 

This is kind of big news. I never would have expected it.
