    Hmm, this has worked for me on several different samsung phones? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12949609/adb-shell-comma... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17556750/how-to…

    It's kind of lucky for everyone that climate is mostly a perfect sliding scale, the more CO2 you avoid putting into the atmosphere the more heat capacity you'd avoid. So every bit …

    This sucks. I use adb to uninstall all of the system apps like facebook, youtube, web browser, etc. to give myself a minimalist, distraction-free phone that still has niche apps, m…

    This is really honestly an alarmingly wrong substack post. 1. The claim of the authors is that the scientific literature is on average so dishonest and/or wrong that access to it (…

    One challenge with this approach is: could it be possible that the detector is simply learning to recognize words and jargon used more in the literature post 2022 as 'AI'? For exam…

    The extremely obvious solution to this is just to preprint your own work before submitting it to a journal? This has become the norm in science, and all of the best labs do it now,…

    This article is about MD doctors, not scientists (although there may be some MD-PhDs in it, and yes MDs can get research positions). MD doctors poll at extraordinarily high levels …

    This comment doesn't understand why CRISPR is such a big deal in science. While Cas-as-a-therapeutic is easy for the public to understand, and therefore often emphasized in popular…

    0. I think your perspective is really detached from the actual scientific enterprise. I think this kind of take exists when there are cultural clashes combined with a strong focus …

    Ha, or, perhaps for a 2025 variant: it would quickly be shared publicly by government scientists (who are not as secretive or good at keeping secrets as the public seems to think!)…

    This is AI generated gibberish unrelated to the article. A brief look at this account's history shows that is all it posts. Is this allowed here?

    No, you can host your own server, subscribe to your own moderation services. It's a protocol like email.

    Ummm... you know that Bluesky is the social network that permits anyone to say anything, right? Like, that's just how it works? That the open source decentralizable community moder…

    Well, Bluesky is an open-source, algorithmless, decentralizable community platform with crowd sourced opt-in moderation, so it's the place to go for free speech, as opposed to the …

    I find the reverse, that everyone has a bsky but few have an X. The people still posting there tend to be the type looking for clicks (like promoting their brand or whatever) inste…

    Circa 2018-2020, Twitter felt genuinely unique as a social media platform to find intelligent scientific and policy discussion. The quality of discussion in my feed felt much highe…

    Ah - I see. I totally agree that tone and manner of rhetoric and speech should be drastically improved among most "online atheists". I do distinguish between being nice and reasona…

    I agree that the balance here is not entirely clear. But I think it's important to not let our perceptions of that balance be influenced by our personal social circles. If you enco…

    This is a tiny portion of government spending though. You could completely eliminate the NASA budget entirely and it'd make absolutely no difference on the federal government's bot…

    This is a illogical position to hold, because clearly nobody applies that same logic about everything else the federal government spends money on. If Texans want to fund a military…

    Sorry, you are also incorrect. I don't think we should exaggerate - "pausing meaningful work indefinitely" is an exaggeration - but the Trump administration has already definitely …
