  • Japan is on its own wavelength.

    Jump

  • You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you're writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.

  • Reiwa era enters the chat

    Most of Japanese hates the arbitary currender year resetting at each new emperor enthronrment. The conversion is ass and no one knows when it changes (bound to emperor's health) . Worst is its official year that govmt body accepts.

  • Space is starting to look like the better mining operation | Mining in space might be less environmentally harmful than mining asteroids on Earth.

    Jump

  • And all the mining waste are dumped in space, where people thought out of human's reach so it's safe to leave it there, until proven otherwise. I may be pessimistic, but if such technological advance made it will likely expand region of human activity and thus history repeats.

  • If there's something to mourn, I'd say the lost oppurtunity to have him procetuted (there was a trial about financial fraud at that time).

  • If number of undiagnosed neurodivergent people proves to be significant portion, neurotypical means just people who won the standards war of communication protocol

  • My bad. fixed!

  • Downtowns are dead, dying or on life support, says expert with over 50 years of researching urban policy

    Jump

  • What I hear is mostly water pipes. Commercial buildings have them concentrated in bathrooms and hard to split for each residence.

    I know there are bathroom less really cheap places but that attract type of people which property management/urban development corps dont want so they may also be reluctant for that change.

  • Language Learning Apps Harvest Data

    Jump

  • Your own learning resources + Anki.

    However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.

    You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It's essentially building course by yourself.

    Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.

  • It's from Kight Scoop which takes requests from viewers. This episode was aired in 2020 that a girl requested to date Godzilla bcs she deeply, romantically loves Godzilla. I haven't seen it but it seems this clip is the end of the date she proposing him.

  • Scientists in China may have just reinvented the toilet bowl

    Jump

  • ARSFT not only with a self-supporting 3D complex shape but also with a porous structure that can accommodate considerable lubricants for an abrasion-resistant super-slippery property.

    From what I skimmed, its slippery properties comes from mainly "hydrophobic silica powder distributed among polypropylene powder. Silicone oil is sprayed afterwards to protect it from abrasion and other mechanical force. Even it wears down, all components (hydrophobic silica and lubricant oil) are present on new surface because it's built porous so the slippery property will be maintained.

  • Scientists in China may have just reinvented the toilet bowl

    Jump

  • Original paper says its mainly polypropylene powder, sintered and porous, has silica powder and silicon oil within.

  • Less | More

  • If cats and dogs became as intelligent as humans, should they have the same rights as humans under law?

    Jump

  • Octopuses too. Excellent problem solving, retaining long-term and short-term memory, recognizing how mirror works and so forth.

    But they're delicious.

  • Shrinkflation is out of control

    Jump

  • I always check price/weight, and its increase has been ridiculous. For ones that don't increase price also taste different, sadly. The best way to detect real value vs. price is look into nutrition tables but I don't have the all database memorized lol so they'll get away with it. :/

  • Is Kbin a right solution for a blog?

    Jump

  • if you want to write something of blog-length and want interact through fediverse, writefreely https://writefreely.org/ might work

  • I try synthetic salmon and enter the “uncanny valley” of taste

    Jump

  • Exactly. Imitation crabs and fish cakes are equivalent of ground meat for fish and presumably easier to simulate. Their market is not as big as salmon, but trying salmon first is like trying to imitate steak meat before making patty decen.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

    I'm all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It's been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

    But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn't seem to be the right tool.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

  • Zoom's Updated Terms of Service Permit Training AI on User Content Without Opt-Out

    Jump

  • I used zoom for some hobby online meetups. The majority used zoom. I'm assuming that it's organizer's choice, which they're familiar at work. I'd love to spread a word for FOSS alternatives, but sadly I'm not the person organizes events.

    The thing is for most people zoom is equivalent of video conference. Zoom has soared its publicity in WFH era, and Zoom decides to (like every corporation does) utilize it, milking every possible profit from it.
