Can confirm, Cum Town lured me into a meeting and I signed away way too much of the company to an angel.

The critical limit with fungi, and other single cell protein foods, is the high amount of nucleic acid, which are converted into purines and then uric acid. The products have to undergo additional processing to reduce these levels before they can be consumed.

I have a nice Sony OLED TV, I have calibrated it with a hardware colorimeter, and I use MadVR ML upscaling to 4K for all my files. I have a ripped a lot of blu-ray discs (especially Dario Argento). Is there a quality issue, rather than censorship, to go beyond that?

Sadly, I suspect that pirate torrent sites will preserve a lot of this stuff better than the streaming owners of the IP. We are in kind of a golden age for quality transfers of niche films. Even if there are still significant gaps.

Why not just have everyone speak in pidgin then ...

BYD's cars gave crappy suspension. Compared to a BMW on the highway...

Of course they won't. Classic techno-libertarian fantasy.

I spend the vast majority of my computer time reading text. System 76's Cosmic DE will finally have good subpixel font rendering. That is one thing that will convert me from Windows.

Thanks for sharing various projects. Any tools for materials science that can create summary tables of things like material, application, performance would be really valuable.

Not to mention this statement ... imagine such a person on your startup board!

During the call, Jason Kwon, OpenAI’s chief strategy officer, said the board was endangering the future of the company by pushing out Mr. Altman. This, he said, violated the members’ responsibilities.

Ms. Toner disagreed. The board’s mission is to ensure that the company creates artificial intelligence that “benefits all of humanity,” and if the company was destroyed, she said, that could be consistent with its mission. In the board’s view, OpenAI would be stronger without Mr. Altman.

Not exactly the same, but Onpattro, an siRNA medication encapsulated in a similar formulation of lipid nanoparticles, for the treatment of ATTR was approved in 2018.

yt-dlp is its successor, but I'm having a lot of trouble with it too.

I've been having more success with JDownloader2.

I'm a professor of chemical engineering, and I read it because I wanted to see if it was a good introduction for my less biochemistry trained colleagues (I do some work on digestion physiology).

It has some good advice on diet and macronutrients, especially on the less efficient metabolism of protein, that could make a significant difference in one's approach to weight loss dieting, but it is not a guide to dieting practice.

Why Calories Don't Count: How We Got the Science of Weight Loss Wrong by Giles Yeo

It's a good, and gentle, introduction to the biochemistry and thermodynamics of digestion, and the history of calorie estimates.

Anyone tried Kagi's WebKit based browser?

Manuscripts from non-native speakers place a considerable burden upon unpaid peer reviewers. Going through 10,000 barely comprehensible words is not fun.

Protein gluconeogenesis is difficult and relatively minor in quantity.

It was a group account, and then one guy locked everybody else out, and started going heavy on merch and cringe.

It's an excellent beer of its type, and IMO of any beer type. It may be subtle, but not everything has to be an big hoppy IPA, or a sweet NEIPA etc.

Do you also think that Pilsner Urquell, Jever, or Budvar are mediocre?

That's just an ester bond. That's extremely common in biochemicals, including food.

PLA is just going to break down into lactic acid. Big deal.

The biggest F.

So much positive impact on the world.

Great to see that most of this site is celebrating a mass murderer.

He would have killed any of you by choice.

This song sums up how awful most lab careers are better than any articles that I am aware of:

"You halted the march of progress."

Exactly. It's far better to get rejected early from the PhD track, for not being a high achiever, than to muddle through unable to secure a job. You would still be able to prove yourself in a masters degree.

A part of this is that in academia there are often few positive career rewards. You're under pressure to publish frequently, in high impact factor journals, and that is to keep your job. You don't get pay rises or bonuses, or any other career improvements, and job security can be until your next contract, at best. If you don't make it to tenured professor, and have good grant funding, then you are staring down the barrel of starting a new career at an older age and with few contacts.

The place to start is by having far fewer PhD students, but more masters students and technicians. A 60% reduction in PhD student numbers would reflect job opportunities, and student aptitude, more accurately.

Why not just ask when will immortality be achieved?

Okay, this really doesn't look like a sober scientific publication.

The submission title has taken the liberty of heavily editorializing.

This is a submission to a minor journal, of a complicated material, attempting to do something that is clinically very difficult.

I'm not trying to dismiss this research, but please don't expect this to ever be clinically available.

Thread Hijack:

Is there a capable alternative to Microsoft's Outlook client, that has good translation of emails built in? This is for Windows.

Outlook is so slow, and it opens a small side pane for translation. It has a horrible UI.

This is also a problem with iron salt supplements.

As someone with Crohn's disease, I am interested in developing superior alternatives.
