Isn't Russian Roulette played with one bullet in the chamber? Not five?

For everyone talking about the expansion of the Universe, that's not what this is about. The Universe is still expanding, at an accelerating rate. This work is about the rate of structure formation (the large-scale clumpiness of matter) being slowed down, not the expansion of spacetime.

A slightly misleading title. It's not reading something on a printed medium compared reading that same thing on a digital medium. It's that the shit written on the internet has no educational value..

Any word on incremental backups? My current file is 20GB. This means I've had to switch off automatic backups, which is obviously not ideal, because I don't want a 20GB file being written to disk every night...

Yep, I'm doing it right now. I have the official Signal app on my main phone, then Molly on the second one.

I have to say, one thing that happened to me; I used to use Molly for both phones, but I would suddenly stop receiving messages on my main phone for some unknown reason. I would receive them on e.g. my computer client, but not my main phone. So I switched back to Signal as the main driver and Molly as the linked device..

I agree that publishers are the proverbial landlords of the academic environment. It's always been absurd to me that scientists pay to publish in journals, and readers pay to access them.. 😵‍💫

However, (maybe independently of the above) I think there needs be an interpretation layer between some scientific article and the broader public (not popular science articles). Too many times I've seen direct quotes from scientific papers, which are understood within their niche/expert communities, get taken completely out of context or just simply misunderstood. This is completely normal; not even scientists understand the language of other fields in science.

There's been a recent increase in some scientists creating Youtube videos to accompany published works, where they simply talk through their results in everyday language. This is probably in the right direction and helps bring real science to the public in a digestable but unbiased way (then the journal article serves as verification of their claims in the video).

It's been my main messaging app for about 6 years. (which I would hope is the goal of the Signal org) But I re-enabled backups just now, and it seems there's actually no options for filtering out? Like text-only, or last x years only...

My exact opinion. Was pleasantly surprised by the mechanics. We already knew the game was gorgeous, so that was less of a surprise haha.

What would you be nervous about?

Long-time Nextcloud user, but did not know this existed. Thanks for the link.

Also, had a chuckle.

It's great for the banks that lend the money, the real estate agents and state governments who take their cut from the transactions [...]

This part towards the end succinctly sums it up. With those interests in mind, it's little wonder why we're in this mess, and why it will be so difficult to get out of it.

Yo, fuck, this seems too good to be true. But I just completely re-initialised my NAS.. 😑

The threads have been daily as far as I can see..? Just not very active, which is a shame.

You know what they say; it's best to unload all your emotional baggage onto strangers in a public forum.

The Hubble Tension is certainly real. The Hubble Constant can be estimated from a number of completely independent astrophysical phenomena. There is a significant difference in the value computed from 'local' phenomena, and distant phenomena. It is often referred to as the "5 sigma" tension, because that is the statistical significance of the disagreement. This has been know long before James Webb, but as the article says, these observations just lowered the uncertainty on one of the probes. But we were fairly certain already that this tension is real.

Whether it's a crisis or not is up to the individual. Things not agreeing in science --- especially astrophysics/cosmology --- is just part of the process. I don't know anyone that is 'worried', so much as looking for ways to solve the problem.

Wait, is OpenBoard abandoned?

I can't connect to any of my addresses since yesterday. I spent today converting everything to Dynu.

This is a very cool visualisation. Lucky I'm not in any of those trackers. 🥲

Might be a bit warm today.

Good point about the all-in-one. I'll need to find some time to digest it properly, but seems amazing at a glance.
