2·8 months agoI can think up a few plausible explanation. The easiest of which for me is that with a static picture of a face - especially if it’s not Actual Size™ - your brain might be aware that it’s not an actual face. Or more accurately, the visual system is not convinced that it’s a real face.
At the end of the day though, I’m no brain scientist and I’ve got layman’s knowledge about the subject at best, so I’m happy to leave it to the professionals and trust that the scientists verified it in one way or another.
The cynic in me is thinking, what are the chances that this patient is faking it? Seems odd that just for this one person the effect wouldn’t happen on screens, while it does for everyone else with this condition.
But I can push this thought aside. This is interesting, and I’ve never heard of this condition before.
7·8 months agoI want to say “passkeys” but if I’m honest, that too is susceptible to this attack.
I’ve just finished reading the article, it does not say this. It says Intel also has a DMP but that only Apple’s version has the vulnerability.
Dammit, we’re on a cooling trajectory, prepare for a new ice age and the approach to absolute zero by end of year
(apologies for pedantry) This can’t be the case, as the zero point is visible in the graph and even gets crossed to the negatives. Log scale graphs only show positive values and place zero infinitely below the horizontal axis.
4·8 months agowhat’s your favourite species of rodent?
Jerry. Easy.
I know this is true by most definitions but to me it never felt true. Insects are distinct from animals in my head.
While I completely agree and was about to comment the same, I will switch sides and say that a snake’s length is variable (as is a person’s height) and probably has a variance greater than 1.6mm for a baseline of 3m. So a snake π metres long would be indistinguishable from a snake 3.14 metres long.
I’d still drop the “exactly” though.
Site, but that’s like saying “writing is an application of language”. The profession of writing is immensely different from the profession of inventing or studying a language. And the profession of electrical engineering is substantially different from the profession of studying electrical phenomena. There’s certainly overlap but it’s different fields.
Can this be explained by screening? i.e. they actively screen for breast cancer so they’re going to find it even in cases where it wouldn’t have ever affected the patient.
I haven’t read the link (not in the mood to parse it) but that’s my gut reaction to the title. I highly recommend this video by Medlife Crisis https://youtube.com/watch?v=yNzQ_sLGIuA (also on Nebula) that explains the flaws of screening, it’s approachable and it’s a fun watch if you’re into YouTube edutainment stuff.
It’s electrical engineering if anything
Wondering if you say this in order to protect others from the pain/horror of learning it, or to protect some deep conspiratory secret. Maybe I’ll just open a textbook and find out…
Have you ever tried to google a specific question like this about a topic you’ve never dipped your toes in? It’s impossible to start.
Can I just say that is awful advice. There’s an easy way to save it:
“Tell me where you are and I’ll give you a few good options to start with”
When the poster is clearly a hopeless beginner this kind of response is useless and overwhelming in information that they have no chance of understanding.
can you please speak clearly, I don’t understand your accent btw
I didn’t realise this was old until you brought it up. I got here from the sub, which I got to by misclicking on the sub portion of a post when I just wanted to see its comments.
Can you give any source for this? The text includes 2 key links and the screenshot obviously misses out on them
