I like the stuff un the sute but the number if partners and affiliates in the consent window is very off putting.

It's only 141 TCF vendor(s) and 69 ad partner(s), with no way to reject all, and you have to manually click on every "vendor" to remove consent.

It's the second or third time I see this "managed by Google compliant with IAB" (note: not with GDPR)

The music is so moving, tear inducing. One of the best links I've seen posted here and I've been here 15+ years. Well done Neal. I wish credit was given to the music, anyone know who created it?

The following from clicking on the i on the top-right after starting the show:

> Created by Neal Agarwal

> Illustrations by Julius Csotonyi

> Production by Liz Ryan

> Music & SFX by Aleix Ramon

> Cello performance by Iratxe Ibaibarriaga

Beautiful work.

If you click the "i" info button in the top right, it'll list the full credits, including those who worked on the music.

This is super infuriating. I wish there was a way to offshore the effort and work needed to toggle each option off to the culprit website. Perhaps when website A presents you with such hostile prompts, take their contact email, and subscribe it with automation to each of the vendors. I'm just too tired of this shit.

For comparison: ASML machines print chips with precision up to 2nm. https://www.asml.com/en/products/euv-lithography-systems/twi...

And the atoms in the proteins and DNA that are exactly replicated to the atom each have a feature sizes resolved at fractions of a nanometer in 3 dimensions (and likely in time/dynamics too).

I didn't know tardigrades can be big enough to be seen with the naked eye. Apparently big enough to be seen but not big enough to be recognised without magnification.

The dynamic soundscape is delightful, as it subtly adds instruments and musical texture as you progress. And going back down the scale regresses it to simple again. Smoothly done. It reminded me of Operation Neptune (1991): each level starts with just one channel, probably percussion, and as you progress through the rooms it adds and removes more channels or sometimes switches to a different section of music. It is u…

Thank you for sharing this, I played Operation Neptune as a kid and never noticed the dynamic music!
