  • "Chunky" chicken soup in a can just costs a couple dollars, you could try heating that in a coffee pot. Add some fresh cherry tomatoes and canned fruit and you have a good meal.

  • The link says that NoScript is "redundant with uBlock Origin"

    I like NoScript because I can click on its icon on the toolbar, and easily select which scripts on a given page to whitelist, or which to whitelist temporarily (until browser quit.) And on any page, I can select which set of scripts (by domain name) on that page to run or whitelist.

    With uBlock Origin, it's only "all script on the page" or "no scripts on the page", right?

  • Signs of undeclared ChatGPT use in papers mounting
  • There's a difference between:

    1. Using ChatGPT to help write parts of the text in the same way you'd use a grammar- or spell-checker (e.g. if English isn't your first language) after you've finished the experiments

    2. Using ChatGPT to write a paper without even doing any experiments

    Clearly the second is academic misconduct. The first one is a lot more defensible.

  • Signs of undeclared ChatGPT use in papers mounting
  • I used to think that when I became boss, I wouldn’t participate in the bullshit,

    You can't change the system single-handedly overnight, but you can be active in your research community, e.g. you can suggest that conference proceedings be available for free online.

    Also, if your trainees publish in journals, just make sure to put your pre-prints on arxiv or somewhere similar for free.

  • Advice needed, son wants to learn how to program
  • This was a while back, but my cousin learned to program using Codecademy. These were self-paced courses using web interfaces, which was nice because they didn't have to install anything, they just used a web browser.

    It looks like codecademy has a game development path: https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/subject/game-development

    Their python chatbot course looks fun too: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/paths/build-chatbots-with-python

  • Linda Yaccarino was set up to fail
  • Indeed, I have little respect for advertisers and I disagree with her politics. But I wouldn't say I have no sympathy, and I offered a plausible explanation on why she might have taken the job.

  • [Firefox Android] TIL how to make proper shortcuts for sites that don't support it
  • THANK YOU! Those apps are so annoying, all I wanted was a shortcut to kbin and lemmy.

    I had to wipe all my browser data for lemmy to finally let me install the shortcut instead of the (&$# app, but it finally worked.

  • Something’s Gone Wrong With Airbnb
  • What a bland article. Just when it starts to become insightful, it ends:

    These events are all signs of a gig economy that might just be falling apart, not because of any one CEO decision but because companies that find success by framing themselves as a DIY alternative to an established industry can only grow in the same direction as the very thing they wanted to replace. The original sin, it seems, is when they try to be both.

  • anonymous fb?
  • You can’t remain unlinked to your real identity as seen by the government because you need to provide your id when buying a new SIM

    This varies by country. In the US you can buy a prepaid mobile phone with cash and supply it with prepaid cards, all without showing ID:

    (but obviously they can figure out who you are by tracking your signal and seeing where you spend your time.)
