9·3 days agoHaving read the comments section of those three to get an idea, you sum it up very well. Very many don’t care, are oblivious as to why the “charity” is played to so much (re: mrbeast), fully agree with them, and frequently enjoy them doing objectively bad that shit older people won’t, possibly out of vicariousness. They just wanna sit there and watch Ow! My balls!

everytime I tell people that “baristas” and coffee people can’t comprehend the concept of black coffee, I get back talk.
Back talk. As in talking back.
Translation: When I tell you shit, you either agree with the truth I speak, or you shut the fuck up.
Stars forbid anyone fucking disagree with you and speak their fucking minds. Conversations are one way with you: from you to everyone else.
I remember getting SMB2 and not being able to figure out how to enter doors until a friend told me to press up. I think I tried everything other than pressing up, it just never occurred to my 8-ish-year-old brain.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump signs orders calling for powerful quantum computer, targeting 2028English
31·2 months agoWASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a push to build a powerful quantum computer for scientific research and speed efforts to protect government systems from related cyber threats, bolstering U.S. efforts in its race with China for a technology that could upend science and cybersecurity.
“We believe this can happen by 2028,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a call previewing the moves and referring to the quantum computer.
Trump signed two executive orders, one of which seeks to protect government computers against quantum computer-fueled cyberattacks by setting a goal of migrating key government computing systems to post-quantum cryptography by 2030 or 2031.
Quantum computers use the laws of quantum physics to process information in ways that can solve certain complex problems far faster than even today’s supercomputers. They could unscramble the encryption that protects computers from hacking, raising fears of aggressive cyberattacks.
The orders underscore the importance the Trump administration places on securing U.S. leadership in the quantum race against China - which could fuel advances in artificial intelligence, materials science and chemistry - while also protecting against the cybersecurity threats posed by the technology.
The order also calls for the Pentagon to deploy quantum sensors by 2028. Such sensors can help aircraft navigate in war zones where global positioning systems have been disrupted and, when put in satellites, could also be used to detect underground activity such as the construction of tunnels or missile silos from space.
“There’s lots of interesting things quantum sensing can bring before quantum computing," said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion , who attended the signing of the order in the Oval Office. "It’s possible to meet these types of timelines.”
Last month, the Commerce Department announced it would take $2 billion in equity stakes across nine quantum-computing companies, including a new IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab venture.
One of the orders also aims to strengthen international cooperation on intellectual property protections and supply chain security measures “in light of competitors and adversaries looking to undermine U.S. economic and national security,” Kratsios said.
Another measure included in the package instructs agencies to develop plans for deploying quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows?English
118·3 months agoHere’s the thing: you said it’s a crow, no one’s arguing that. But are we sure they aren’t jackdaws? They’re in the same family. Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

1771·3 months agoPer the article:
The sample was collected on April 7. Eurofins issued its results on April 10. According to the lab report, the 24-hour composite found:
• Hexavalent chromium at 0.0104 milligrams per liter, just above the lab’s reporting limit of 0.01 mg/L. Hexavalent chromium is classified as a known human carcinogen by the US National Toxicology Program. It is the substance the Erin Brockovich case was built around.
• Arsenic at 0.0025 mg/L. That is below the federal drinking water standard of 0.01 mg/L, but present.
• Strontium at 1.17 mg/L. Mazloum’s technical report on the findings noted that long-term exposure can affect bone density and kidney function in humans and wildlife.
• Lithium and vanadium at concentrations Lazarte’s letter described as abnormally high relative to rainwater or normal groundwater.
• Elevated levels of manganese, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and potassium consistent with industrial discharge. Manganese, a battery process tracer, can have neurological effects at chronic doses. Excess phosphorus can cause algae blooms that strip oxygen from waterways.
• Ammonia in the form of nitrogen at 1.68 mg/L, amplifying the algae bloom risk
