While everyone is worrying about the new @nature@twitter.com paper at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05543-x, at least some elements of the answer are obvious and have been known for a while.
RT @Meaningness@twitter.com
Prophesy: Leo Szilard—the physicist who first conceived of the nuclear chain reaction and who urged the US to undertake the Manhattan Project—explaining how science would stagnate, in 1948. https://rootsofprogress.org/szilard-on-slowing-science

While claiming that you cant see more than 60 fps is obviously wrong, I think at a certain point we can stop increasing refresh rates.
540 Hz really seems overkill

“Young people these days can’t afford housing, health care, or college because they eat too many avocado toasts, drink too much, and go to too many concerts”

Particle simulator progress: made a proper file dialog using my engine's UI lib for saving & loading simulations. They are in a simple JSON format so that you can easily generate/consume it with a separate tool.

Klimawandel leugnen ist so lustig, stell dir vor du kannst das zweite Jahr in Folge Anfang Januar mit T-Shirt raus und bekommst es hin dir einzureden, dass das eigentlich schon immer so war

My recommended first step towards a saner, more productive public conversation about #drugs: stop talking about certain (legal) drugs as if they were not, in fact, “drugs”

@freemo Latex formatting on qoto seems a little buggy, at least when showing mathstodon.xyz toots.
Obviously no pressure to fix, was just wondering if you are aware of it

bitte denkt daran, dass ihr 2023 erfolgreicher, fleißiger, konsequenter, gesünder, reicher, schöner, glücklicher, attraktiver und insgesamt viel besser werden müsst und dass ihr schreckliche Versager seid, wenn ihr das Mitte Januar noch nicht geschafft habt

Astrology also encounters notable discontinuities when passing from one star sign to the next: two twins, one born a minute before midnight at the end of one star sign period, and one born a minute after, would have significantly different horoscopes; similarly if they were born on opposite sides of a border between time zones (or better yet, the international date line).

Mathematics can raise concerns with a proposed physical theory by pointing out that it leads to discontinuities. According to popular belief, Galileo debunked Aristotle's thesis that heavier objects fall faster than light ones by an actual experiment, but in fact he proposed a continuity argument: if Aristotle was correct, connecting two equal falling masses by a string of negligible weight would double the mass of the object and thus cause it to fall much faster, which was absurd.

"Ich bin kein Rassist. Für mich existieren keine Hautfarben" ist die selbe vermeintliche liberale Gleichheit nach der Millionär und Bettler beide das gleiche Recht haben unter der Brücke zu schlafen.

Das Wort "Schulmedizin" ist ein Kampfbegriff. Er soll die gute, sanfte, menschliche "Alternativmedizin" auf dieselbe Stufe hieven und vergleichbar machen.
Dabei gibt es nur eine Medizin: die evidenzbasierte. Alles andere ist Humbug!
Und: Naturheilkunde ist durchaus evidenzbasiert. Die Wirkung von Johanniskraut bei depressiven Verstimmungen ist z.B. nachweisbar.
Naturheilkunde ist nicht in denselben Topf zu werfen wie "alternative Heilpraktiken", zu denen z.B. Homöopathie gehört.

Many are saying Mastodon reminds them of the early days of social media. It's true. My feed is filled with cat photos. Take away the capitalist profit-motivated algorithms and the cats emerge once again to lead us.
