NVIDIA at least makes money. Their TTM P/E is around 45. The average is like 25 right now for the S&P iirc, which is above historical averages of ~15, but has been the new normal for like 20 years at this point. We’re in a bubble, but NVIDIA is selling the picks and shovels, so they’ll won’t go bankrupt once it pops.

I can find no evidence that it is permanent; stopping the drug should return most folks to normal.

I could tell you were using Gnome literally just by you saying that there was something you wanted to do but couldn’t. In my experience, Gnome has basically no features and is still super buggy. Linux Mint Cinnamon and Solus Budgie have each just worked super well for me. I switched from Windows and had a bumpy ride until I found those two. I use Solus at home and Mint at work, both without issue.

Blue light is important for night vision, so either of those options would lead to less of an ability to see well after sunset.

No, glia support neurons; they do things like redirecting blood flow to more-active-than-usual neurons, mylenate axons, etc. They wouldn’t form a mesh around neurons’ photoreceptors the same way they do neurons’ somas and axons. What the article describes is that glia actually are critical at allowing for color vision during the day and night vision at night, since on land we’d get too much blue light to see color with much fidelity were it not for glia, and a similar filtration process helps us see at night. It’s not that it’s not as bad as it could be, it’s actually that vision is better this way (barring one small blind spot outside of our fovea–which, being outside of the fovea, would have low acuity anyways).

This arrangement actually optimizes color vision in the daytime and night vision at night. Evolution selected for the correct arrangement for those of us living on land:

My merit review this year specifically noted my high volume of peer review for why I exceeded expectations in the 20% service part of my contract. Again I say, faculty are remunerated for peer review. It’s better to do peer review for the service part of my contract than it is to sit on faculty senate. Doing peer review helps my research. It’s a win-win, unless I don’t want to get my full merit raise because i ignored service.

Faculty are paid for doing peer review just like we’re paid for publishing. We’re not paid directly for each of either, but both publishing (research) and peer review (service to the field) are stipulated within our contracts. Arxiv is also free to upload to and isn’t a journal with publication fees.

Professors literally get like $0.03 per copy of a book sold. Your professors make you buy their book because no one else teaches the class like they can. It’s their expertise that you’re paying for when you go to college to study under them. They’re making sure that you have something related to that that lasts.

While we’re on a thread about English grammar, “who’s” means “who is.” The possessive of “who” is “whose.”

Sorry.

Not sure? Maybe a moderator deleted my comment, but it’s still visible with some Lemmy clients?

This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It’s just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won’t do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There’s even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I’m aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.

Well it is a behavior disorder. If you don’t have disruptive behavior, plenty of other psychiatric conditions cause the same or worse executive dysfunction (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder) and the same or worse social anxiety and rejection sensitivity (e.g., social anxiety disorder). Let’s not pretend like ADHD isn’t difficult for others around the individual to deal with; it is, by definition, if someone has it.

Ask me if you’d like sources for any of the above.

A bit of an exaggeration, sure. But only a bit. The lay summary of the article I referenced states the following:

Venkataraman et al. find that the paper commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper: leaving out important papers, including irrelevant papers, using duplicate papers, mis-coding their societies, getting the wrong values for “big” versus “small” game, and many others.

“commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper,” and, “completely incorrect,” aren’t very different.

This study this meme is based on is completely incorrect and should be retracted. Here’s a lay summary of its issues:
