Doctor Who Season Finale. I’ve caught the bug again after a couple lackluster seasons, they made a great choice bringing back Russel T Davies as showrunner.

There is a Wookie padawan in The Clone Wars and I absolutely approve.

Wenn der Strohmann gegen den man argumentiert KI-generiert ist, ist das dann ein Strohroboter-Argument?

It is history though. Erasing it from history would make it harder to study how insane that man was, which is immediately apparent in basically any part of that book. In Germany, Mein Kampf is banned except for educational purposes, eg in history class. Nothing conveys just how bad Hitler was as effectively as his own writing.

Today on “Tech company uses horrible vision of the future from science fiction as marketing for their own horrible vision of the future”:

Used it for a good while, but I moved to Nobara for more up to date packages. Might look into it again when Cosmic releases, it looks promising. I just hope they have some way to use Gnome extensions (or a replacement).

He’s got a point though, these sound more like ‘online article on tech website’ phrases, less like a community post. Not meant to be insulting, I just like to analyse language.

I wonder how many people have been inspired by the Paramount executives to take up sailing…

Still not a great idea to burn recyclable resources. The stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill, sure, but most plastics can be used again in some way.

Define “green”. In terms of CO2 it would obviously be horrible and incredibly stupid.

Maybe more metal-adjacent, but amazing: Everytime We Touch - Electric Callboy

It’s not just expensive, it also doesnt work unlesss almost all energy used world wide is carbon neutral. This is because carbon removal is the reverse of a reaction used to gain energy, so it needs higher input energy than was gained by the power plant.

Moar Boosters!

Audio Engineer here. Not sure Ardour can open video, but it’s a capable DAW and open source. Reaper is closed source but it can open (and even render) pretty much any video format. To actually seperate a single voice, you do need additional plugins though, no matter which DAW you’re using.
I think iZotope RX could do it, but it is fairly expensive. I haven’t seen any open source audio tools that can do this at all. It is pretty much guaranteed to require some kind of machine learning, as parametrically seperating by EQ or phase won’t work if you have only one source signal (even with two or more microphones, it would be really, really hard).
A very good spectral editor might technically work, it would however take several days of manually deleting select frequencies on an almost single sample level and still sound bad, especially if the noise is nearly the same level as the signal.

Yes, but they don’t have finance or business degrees.

My engineering friends and me propose that physicists should be referred to as theoretical engineers.

Einerseits ja, und wenn VW das nicht schafft, dann machens halt die Chinesen, andererseits würden mich mal die Arbeitsbedingungen interessieren.

It could change the pH of the oceans, making it harder for anything to live there. Plus, it might not store the CO2 for longer than 1000 years, which doesnt really solve the issue (I have a source for that somewhere, I think it was the IPCC).
