Damn, dude. I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer and was leaning towards resin because I heard it was better for minis, and I see how it's different, but these look perfectly fine and there's no fumes or toxic sludge to deal with. Since I mainly want it for printing household fixits and ease-of-use is a factor, being able to get back into tabletop gaming (and painting) as well is a very nice bonus. I feel pretty good about going with an FDM printer now, thanks for sharing!
That's the "special application" I mentioned, but it seems to have been updated since I last looked at it so it now offers the same level of encryption as the webmail app.
I would prefer to see it freely available, but it doesn't seem foundational to using the service in any scenario - free accounts have the webmail and mobile clients, which are arguably both more flexible (and maintainable) than the Bridge.
Thunderbird doesn't have your private key to decrypt your Proton emails. The key lives in your browser and in theory there's no way to securely provide that key to Thunderbird so it can do the decrypting. There's a special application they built for business owners who want this functionality, but by nature it breaks Proton's security because the email content is then stored in plaintext (or close enough) so it's not "secure" in the same sense Proton webmail is. (edit: maybe it got updates since I last looked, because the Bridge is now as secure as the webmail)
I normally use a Kinesis Advantage 2 (but in qwerty, unlike OP), and I can go back to a standard layout qwerty board with just a small adjustment period - I keep hitting "x" when I mean to hit "c", sort of thing. But it's an adjustment I can make "mid-stream" so to speak; I just use the board and get used to it again as I go.
Consider that it's not Indian people you hate working for or with, but a particular behavior you've noticed and are attributing to people being of a particular race, instead of just them doing stuff you don't like.
Don't come back with "but why is it only them" or something. It's definitely not. Just identify the behaviour and remember that is what you don't like, not the person's race specifically.
You get people and habits you don't like from all cultures; that makes sense, as assholery knows no borders. But if you make it (the things you don't like, whatever they may be) about race, it's racist, so stop it. Unless you like the idea of being a racist, which it seems like you don't.
This wasn't "his brain matter", these were "neuronal organoids" (clumps of neurons) grown from harvesting white blood cells and turning those into stem cells. Then the clumps were networked together with a literal wire to conduct signals between them, for timing.
Usually in organoids networks the wire delivers either regular, repeating inputs ("clean" pulses) as a reward for succeeding a task, or a random signal ("noise") for failure; this is how they're "trained" to play Pong for example:
In more advanced closed-loop setups, organoid cultures are embedded within simulated environments that allow them to “interact” in a game-like world. By using high-density multielectrode arrays (MEAs) to deliver patterns of electrical signals, researchers can create closed-loop feedback systems that enable organoids to process and respond to certain inputs (Kagan et al. [2022]). For instance, in one experiment, monolayer neuronal cultures were given sparse sensory feedback about the consequences of their actions within a simulated game. The organoids displayed short-term memory by organizing themselves in goal-directed ways, effectively learning to complete simple behavioural tasks. This capability, made possible by reinforcement learning, allows organoids to adapt based on feedback, akin to how a human brain might learn from trial and error.
When adenosine builds up in the brain, the only way for the brain to get rid of the accumulation of it is by sleeping
Incorrect, the body reuptakes adenosine readily as part of the respiratory cycle. In the absence of external administration, it is physically impossible to build up so much adenosine that it can kill you precisely because it is so readily downregulated to inosine by ADK, or upregulated to AMP and ATP through phosphorylation.
You might be thinking of other toxic substances that build up as part of respiration; some of those like amyloid beta plaques (once thought to play a role in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, but maybe not) are only cleared by the glymphatic system.
I recommend reading the last paragraph of your article again, as it doesn't actually say adenosine is responsible. It just says that adenosine makes you sleepy, and sleeping helps clear toxic buildup from the brain via the glymphatic system (which is true). The wording is just bad and implies adenosine is one of those toxic substances.
Adenosine is not a "waste product of neurons" in the sense it's being painted. It's a byproduct of energy production in all our cells, and what it does depends on the derivative - for example adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used by the mitochondria in our cells for energy production! It then degrades into adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and from there into the CNS-depressing adenosine (or, it can be upregulated back "up the chain" by adding another phosphor to it).
As plain adenosine it can depress the central nervous system, resulting in feeling sleepy, slowing heart rate, etc, but adenosine levels are regulated closely by the body and the idea they can "build up until we die" due to lack of sleep is patently ridiculous. This article is a gross oversimplification that demonises a critical compound for no reason.
Really don't have to go as far as all that, the US is a pretty glaring example of poor living standards. Going to the doctor won't bankrupt your citizens, for one thing.
