I rarely see the need for less precision. If you don’t know the precise temperature you say “around” if you want to describe a range, you just do that “x-y”. Easy.

Like I said, you and I are used to our temperature unit systems, neither is inherently more user friendly than the either.

You are fooled by your own habits. Most of the world uses °C just fine and why wouldn’ they? The steps of one °C are just what starts to be relevant in daily life. Yes you would totally say it has 13°C and not round up to 5 or 10s. The latter you would only do if your unit system has more precision than is needed.

That said, if you want more precision just say 13.4°C. Some wearher forecasts do that but it is really not very releant what comes after the comma for daily weather forecast needs.

I won’t body shame Madonna. What I will shame here is for her shocking lack, of the ability to sing… for a singer. For whatever reason, she was performing a live act in the break of a Eurovision Song Contest and I don’t know if the rules also extended to non competing acts regarding live singing. In any case, she was singing live, no doubt about it and she was bad, even compared to Song Contest bad. The choir had to carry her through the song.

Titties maybe, but I am definitely not going to be tempted by those foul cancer sticks.

I just starting to get my favourites as DRM free flac files, from qobuz and bandcamp. It is fantastic to be invested into something again, not merely be passively fed endless random stuff.

Also Cloud and streaming services can do what they want, it won’t change my access to that music. Also, my library will remain slop free.

Caution! Yellow fat emulsion was prepared on machines that can contain traces of actual cheese!

Just tell those “personalities” that you can afford driving a small car, because you don’t need your car for compensating something. They’ll know what.

This is rage bait, right? Right?!

Neither. Vienna Horns with their double piston valves blow these out of the water

Protein structure prediction models have contributed a lot. They are delivering much better results than the previous state of the art method of homology modeling.

Predicting structure from sequence in large scale has been a huge problem before and those attention network based models enabled in-silico screenings that were simply not possible before. This had a huge impact on pharmacologic research and especially research on binding motifs.

That said, these models work best when target proteins are one among many and don’t have very unique features. And things go downhill real fast when proteins form oligomeric structures or rely on structural features not yet resolved by empirical methods.

Google discontinued development of alphafold, broke up the team, let many go and transferred the rest to general LLM development except for some that were moved to their vertically integrated own pharmaceutical research (to cash in on the whole value chain and lock everyone else out of their tools).

Mind you, that is the tool that got people a Nobel Prize.

Blasphemy. If there were a hell, you’d burn in it.

You mean, he wants them to stop talking about his pal Epstein?

I guess it is to normalise the call for a genocide in public.

Engagement, ie bait. It works it seems.

I think what people miss here is that this is Americanisation that is the norm in most US movies. While the original movies were distributed by Warner Brothers, the producers were largely British, so were many other important people in the making of that movie. So they apparently stayed their ground in staying closer to the British source material.

In the remake those safeguards are gone. People just realise it because they see the contrast to the original. But look at other US movies, so much of it has fantasy scenarios that are still very “USified”, to not confuse the US audience too much. This is the most obvious when Hollywood takes up a successful foreign movie and makes a complete US “remake”.

Laughable amount compared to what Russia is spending on disinformation outlets in the EU. I am pretty confident that they would fund mostly those that are already supported plentifully by Russia anyway.

As clear as day that Trump plans to be dictator for life. At least there is a certain biological limit. Bad news is that those behind the regime can build upon the destroyed rule of law and institutions to maintain the regime beyond Trump.

No other country was blamed for it in the post above.

Fully deserved for getting a childcrusher, without the slightest consideration for the safety of others.
