New posting! This one contains a few reflections on what I do, and don't, miss about my life in #academia.

@mcnado

You are absolutely correct here, Agreed. Thank you for setting him straight.

@AmpBenzScientist

@AmpBenzScientist @freemo in the US at least, the mortality data were not falsified despite reports to the contrary. Indeed, two papers by the same authors looking at mortality suggested a ~20-30% undercount during the early pandemic (higher early on, lower later on). This was most likely due to poor test availability, out of hospital deaths, and shoddy reporting early on.

@AmpBenzScientist While I dont doubt there were a few examples of someone engaging in inflated numbers to get aide as was pointed out overall when you consider all the effects that create inaccurate numbers overall the numbers were under reported not over

@mcnado

@AmpBenzScientist the choice is really just between what physical connector you want. v5 are pretty much all the same its just do you want usb a, c, thunderbolt or nfc

@AmpBenzScientist Depends what algo you want to use and what key size... any v5 is your best bet though.

I am watching the new #Disney movie The little mermaid. I am really enjoying how they used factually accurate (And in some cases not very well known) sea creatures. They also put a lot of attention into making their movements more or less accurate as well.

I was particularly excited to see the feather stars.

That said they arent region appropriate, I dont think I recall ever seeing a feather star in the Caribbean. I can let it slide :)

@AmpBenzScientist Yeah, I also remembered the fake moon. That level of modification would cause problems if you try to take a picture to proof something in legal related events.

For casual use, I'd say it's fine to use the default camera app. But taking picture of a bird or something I want no additional processing, hopefully the pro settings will disable the post-processing.

@AmpBenzScientist

Well, if it's a trend, you can't really resist it.

Somehow those manufacturers thought their customers would be happy with the new AI things. Samsung's S24 series is a bit retreat on hardware, but a lot of new things happened on software, but not necessary.

For people I know, most of them are not happy with the s24 series. For example the camera. S23Utlra has an optical 10x zoom lens, but on S24Ultra it changed to 5x zoom, and now you're relying on AI post-processing to get hopefully the same result from optical 10x lens. But if I had 10x zoom lens in the first place, why do I have to fake my picture? (Yeah, I think AI post-processing produces a fake photo.)

When they bundled features together, you have to give up a set of features to avoid one thing.

@AmpBenzScientist

linux will be managed for you, it will be nixos but with all the bells and whistles.

Thanks, samsung.

I literally don't need any of those AI nonsense on my s23+. And my next upgrade will be s23ultra.

And a fun fact: those AI features are free from google, but since China baned google, the AI features are handled by local companies. You need to pay another monthly subscription to use those built-in AI features which should be free outside China.

@AmpBenzScientist Crime? I think you accidentally commented on the wrong post. This post is about a hero saving their cat.

I mean Jan 6th was bigger. But the difference is Jan 6th was something a bunch of radical people did, watergate is something a president directly did that was illegal.
