Rust dev, I enjoy reading and playing games, I also usually like to spend time with friends.

  • The Witcher 2, native Linux version

    That is a bit more problematic than it should, the launcher doesn’t work without discontinued dependencies, the configuration doesn’t work at all (had to edit configuration file manually), and the controls seem a bit off so I decided to play on easy difficulty not to embarrass myself too much with doing completely wrong moves because they are mapped in a weird way (imo)

    But it still looks pretty good and seems interesting so far, it will definitely take a lot of time to explore, and then I will still have a third game to play




  • I’m not sure, because you see I’m not C-level by far, but I feel the decisions in such cases are made based on imaginary version of clients, and what tops feel the clients want (that is what they think they would want if they were clients)

    And they may guess right or wrong, though I agree that they may be more likely to guess right than an LLM, being humans and all




  • If this apparent relationship between flares and decay rates proves true, it could lead to a method of predicting solar flares prior to their occurrence

    So, can we predict the flares now? I’ve taken a look at Ephraim Fischbach’s articles and it seems that we’re very far from that, so the article you linked is interesting but overstates the facts by a lot. This is what I found the best explanation so far:

    Some experiments seem to yield strong evidence of variability of beta-decay rates, but other experiments may show little or no such evidence. Some recent experiments help clarify the situation. In particular, a certain oscillation appears in neutrino measurements made at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory and in radon beta-decay measurements made at the Geological Survey of Israel, with identical frequency (9.43 years ⁻¹ ), amplitude and phase, strengthening the case for an influence of neutrinos on beta decays. A review of current experimental information leads us to suggest that 1) beta-decay rates do not change, but 2) the angular distribution of decay products may be anisotropic, and 3) the angular distribution of decay products may be influenced by the ambient neutrino flux. It appears that experiments at standards laboratories tend to be insensitive to direction, and this may be the reason that they tend not to exhibit evidence of variability.

    And even this I would take with a grain of salt
