>AI is years from making major differences in medical field
First off, there's like a million neckbeards that will love to tell you why that's true or false. But I can tell you, as a guy without health insurance, that AI is dope.
I sliced all the skin off my middle knuckle of my dominant index finger on the 4th of July. I had a big exposed artery or vein, it was a cardio tube of some sort, I'm not a doctor.
I didn't go to the doctor. I fired up ChatGPT and followed every instruction it gave me for my situation.
I was able to construct a rudimentary wet chamber healing splint using some shit I had laying around.
I was amazed, I walked into CVS to see the store bought equivalent...
They didn't have any? Uncommon problem, no market? Or hydrocoloidal bandaid+normal $16 finger splint?
Well turns out a wet chamber healing splint is easy as hell to make. Made of cheap as fuck components. There is no competing product on store shelves.
Did AI just tell me how to build a product that didn't exist yet? Probably not, ultimately, but if it doesn't feel free to go patent your heart out. You can build one of these for less than $2 in material.
It's just a bottle with a wire and a bracelet. Was that really so hard to sell at the damn pharmacy?
The bottle is small and dark, with my finger inside it, it condensates like crazy, but I can't bend my finger, while allowing air room. I just kept a bandage with gauze and antibiotic ointment on the knuckle itself inside this shit contraption.
However, here I am on the 12th, and my knuckle has 100% skin coverage and sustained far less permanent damage than I expected. I was genuinely shocked 2 days ago when the whole subdermal layer was wrapping things up again.

🧵 is moderate alcohol consumption enough to permanently erode motivation and imagination???
Anonymous at Sat, 13 Jul 2024 02:40:05 UTC No. 16279738
Noticed a pattern: every time I drink, I end up in a funk.
Most of the time, I don't even experience hangover effects, but recently, I've observed that my motivation plummets and my thoughts stagnate for about 3-8 weeks after a night of drinking. Let me clarify—I rarely drink, maybe 2-3 times a year, and by "night of drinking," I mean just a couple of pints over a few hours.
This is significant though because it suggests that having a lifestyle that includes just four drinking sessions a year could be enough to permanently wreck anyone's motivation and, consequently, their life.
For context, I'm in my 30s, and I suspect this kind of effect worsens with age.

I'm a swede applying for trainee patent attorney positions in Munich because Sweden keeps rejecting the shit out of me for 2 years.
Is it worth it to commute by plane to Munich to work there 2 or 3 days a week and then do the rest from home?
Why do they gatekeep us to the point where I can never ever have a career in the field I wanted?
I'm getting stuck in my 3rd choice of career which was just meant to be a placeholder. Science is impossible!

Hello fellow engineers,
Is the FE exam worth it? Particularly for Electrical and Computer Engineering? I'm a 2024 EE grad with 3.7 GPA from a pretty good college. I'm having a horrible time finding a job as I have no paid internship experience, only a two month research gig, given that I switched into EE my fifth semester.

In the '80s, a professor developed a strain of Streptococcus mutans that doesn't produce lactic acid, the production of which is what causes bacteria-driven tooth decay.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cari
> Jeffrey Hillman from the University of Florida developed a genetically modified strain of Streptococcus mutans called BCS3-L1, that is incapable of producing lactic acid – the acid that dissolves tooth enamel – and aggressively replaces native flora. In laboratory tests, rats who were given BCS3-L1 were conferred with a lifetime of protection against S. mutans. BCS3-L1 colonizes the mouth and produces a small amount of a lantibiotic, called MU1140, which allows it to out-compete S. mutans.
He tried to market it but the FDA made it difficult enough that he eventually gave up. Recently, a startup
>https://www.luminaprobiotic.com/
has licensed the bacteria from the company HIllman founded and plans to market it as an oral probiotic to get past FDA hurdles. For $250, you can preorder their product which in theory is a one-time application that will permanently rearrange your oral microbiome and replace all of your normal S. mutans with the harmless genetically modified strain.
This probably sounds like shilling so far because I remember reading about Hillman years and years ago and wishing there were some way to get his bacteria because it theoretically sounded great. Now that you can, I'm beginning to wonder if it's insane to buy a product that will permanently replace my oral bacteria with a genetically modified one. I'm torn between wanting to let early adopters be the guinea pigs for a few years and snatching it up before some toothpaste company lobbies the FDA to ban it.
Taking naturally occurring probiotics is one thing but would you seed yourself with heavily genetically modified probiotics?

🧵 animal sperm theory (why there is weird similarities)
Anonymous at Fri, 12 Jul 2024 21:41:24 UTC No. 16279405
here's an idea why there are weird similarities across wild number of different animal phyla
1. fish has a tail with fin
2. lobster has a tail with fin
the reason? 700 million years ago fish sperm was able to fertilize lobster eggs
HOWEVER fish eggs has not been compatible wit non-deuterostome animals for nearly a billion years but it instantly developed a defense mechanism against wrong sperm
other animals (which are not deuterostomes but instead protostomes) did not develop egg-sperm protection until about 500 million years ago so they had 200 million years time period of getting fertilized by anything
the resulting horrendous cross breeds has given us these unholy animals:
-insects (descendants of lobsters)
-polychaete sea worms (ancestors of centipedes)
-octopus (a cross between human and a starfish)
-centipedes
-snails
these animals are however pure:
-spiders
-harvestmen

Urbanization Heat Flux Modeling Confirms It Is a Likely Cause of Significant Global Warming

This paper is probably a bit too math and physics heavy for the urbanite online climate activists here. I guess they'll just have to trust the scientists on this one.
Urbanites are responsible for global warming, what are they going to do in order to compensate the rest of the world for the trouble they're causing?
Do urbanites have any plans to correct their toxic behavior?

🧵 MONOGAMY VS POLYGAMY
Anonymous at Fri, 12 Jul 2024 19:34:29 UTC No. 16279202
Is monogamy actually better than polygamy on the long run for humans specifically, given the fact that we're at the cusp of a biotech revolution? I mean, from the pov of disease or pandemic resistance, wouldn't monogamy increase the genepool's toolset to fight back as the genepool is diversified and will only continue getting more diverse as compared to polygamy that only increases homogenization of the genepool after each generation? Also, wouldn't there be a higher incidence of mutations in the genepool, either for the good or for the bad, which may accelerate our evolution thanks to the biotech tools we've or may have in the future that can help us to exploit such mutations?

Gender Studies are actually highest IQ according to https://brght.org/iq/study/gender-s
Maybe we are all just wrong. Maybe transgender women are actually women, sex-gender exists in spectrum, and an individual can self-identify as furry. Because if high-IQ people say it, it must be true.
Also, average IQ of Gender Studies is actually ~9 points higher than that of theoretical physics, https://brght.org/iq/study/
