I’ve worked for about a year as a waiter when I was younger. Compared to what I do now, there was virtually no skill involved.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most valuable/useful/important (to you) video you downloaded from YouTube?
3·1 year agoI once donated to a MLP abridged animated series called “scootertrix”. Are one point I was afraid it was going to get removed from YouTube so I downloaded every episode.

Technology@lemmy.world•This GPT-powered robot chemist designs reactions and makes drugs — on its ownEnglish
10·2 years agoActual real life chemist here. This is not new. We’ve had “chemistry predictors” based on graph theory for decades. All that’s new is that this is AI based. So… potentially less accurate than the current tools.
TIL that I’m Japanese
I use fastmail. It’s similar to proton. I would recommend it over Gmail any day.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firms are exploring sodium batteries as an alternative to lithiumEnglish
8·2 years agoI’m a PhD candidate in chemistry. I’ve never once seen sodium refer to the salt, sodium chloride. Sodium is the metallic form or the atom.
However, why sodium, tungsten, lead, antimony, tin, silver, gold, mercury, iron, and potassium and not their Latin forms? Natrium, wolfram, plumbum, stibium, stannum, argentum, aurum, hydrargyrum, Ferrum and kalium? I don’t really know. Mostly it’s just fun trivia for me to tell the undergrads.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does Harley Quinn look like a teenager in various animated series, but in the film she is an adult woman aged 30+?
7·2 years agoShe was a doctor of phycology, so she’s easily late 20s early 30s. Not teenage. Maybe you think she looks young because she’s in shape? I’ve met 40 year olds IRL that have bodies like that. So I dunno about the “looks like a teenager” thing.
Also remember that in cartoons everyone has fair (smooth) skin until they’re quite old. It’s hard to show subtle signs of aging with cartoon detail. So they’re fair right up until they’re “old”.

Movie Suggestions@lemmy.world•What Dreams May Come (1998) ⭐ 6.9 | Drama, Fantasy, Romance. An amazing Robin Williams movie where he's playing a serious role.English
1·2 years agoI unreasonably loved this movie when I was younger. It has some flaws for sure and some of the emotional stakes are a little… overblown. But presentation, world building and Robin Williams bring it to an easy 8/10

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people look at sunsets?
7125·2 years agoTell me you live in a city without telling me you live in a city.
But srsly it’s because it’s beautiful and unique every time. And the sun is below the horizon when we are looking

I paid for and don’t regret Plex pass so I could access PlexAmp. It’s quite nice. Will it be worth the price for others? I’m not sure.

2·2 years agoTo just get started I’d take a trip to your local thrift store. Some decent old PC tower and a large harddrive is more than enough to get started, play around and get it working. Opt for an intel CPU with “quicksync” if you can as it will do hardware trans coding without a dedicated GPU (like I have).

5·2 years agoIts about 200W. So about as much as a mid-range gaming PC while playing a 3D game. And that’s including all the networking devices and PoE delivery.

2·2 years agofrick… I cant find the item name at the moment. I do recall though when i sourced it I was looking for a dust resistant cabinet. so their are no grills anywhere except at the top and bottom for 120mm fans. I installed filtered fans to hopefully keep dust to a minimum. If I remember I’ll snipe the brand-name later.

1·2 years agoby power optimization I assume you mean like overclock tuning on the mother boards and adjusting sleep schedules, HDD sleep timing and the like? I admit I haven’t done much of that. just stock power and sleep settings.

1·2 years agoto my knowledge the UPS draws less than 5W… (maybe just phantom power for the LCD and small onboard controller) although I haven’t measured it in isolation.

2·2 years agoThey are “thin” monoprice patch cables. Corey at mactelecom uses them all over the place so I gave them a shot. They dont hold up to a “true” cat 6 spec but as long as they are short (like this, 6") they don’t attenuate the signal enough to be noticed.


Got any DOIs to share? I’d like to read about some bioreactors and polymer physics.
