The point of the article is that of you stop investing in science, you are going to fall behind in science.

Looking for YouTube channel recommendations that do video essays on religions, spiritually and mythology etc .... in an empathic and appreciative way. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I wouldn't recommend Mike Heiser. The dude was an evangelical through and through and not only that most of his views were fringe to evangelicalism, his work is apologetics for his idiosyncratic views.

But Religion for Breakfast is good.

The CEO of Microsoft Suddenly Sounds Extremely Nervous About AI in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

Oh. He's still got a golden parachute, but rather than being a bazillion crap loads it's only half a bazillion crap loads.

Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] echindod@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Fair enough. It's hard to learn something new when what you have works and you know it. And if what you have works, then yeah. I get that. Especially if you have lots of visuals and themes. I think libre office calc is pretty ugly. But I also don't try and make things look better either

I avoid spreadsheets in general. But I have used some pretty funky formulas in libre office's calc. I'm just kind of curious what formulas you use that aren't supported in Calc.

Still trying to figure it out a way... in c/science_memes@mander.xyz

Maybe they were thinking of Mountain Lions. And they didn't even mention wolves!

Software skills plus domain knowledge is a good combination, and I think it will remain viable in the future. But who the fuck knows?

You ugh the old drip machine but not the cup/pod system? How dare! Kcups are an abomination and a symptom of everything wrong with this world!

A good drip machine is fine. Not great, but acceptable.

Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

[–] echindod@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

It is theoretically possible that we are basal in such away that mice are derived given a certain ailment, that a treatment doesn't work on mice. However we are so damn closely related to mice that probability is vanishingly small, and in such cases where it is known about, they actually genetically modify the mouse to account for it.

They used to do fertility tests on hamster ovum to see if a human male's sperm was viable. We are fucking close enough to hamsters a human sperm can cause a hamster ovum to start to divide.

Granted, I will agree with you: much animal testing is fucking horrific and deplorable. But it is generally reliable.
