I have been more often disappointed by sci-hub than satisfied, but maybe I just tend to look up more obscure or new research.

That’s literally break out the sunscreen and start sunning on the lawn chair weather.
Xavienth@lemmygrad.mlto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"English2·1 month agoCyclists are typically more likely to stop at a business because it’s just easier. In many cases bike lanes bring business, for the right kinds of businesses.

Xavienth@lemmygrad.mlto Technology@lemmy.zip•DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating SearchersEnglish3·2 months agoIt used to be when you searched for something, it was information first, products second. If you searched bicycle, it would give you the Wikipedia page for bicycle, and then pages related to bicycles, some of which would be retailers. Now it’s the other way around, if the informational pages even show up at all.
Forget all the AI bullshit, this is my biggest gripe with search engines today. This is why people use ChatGPT - for all its faults - to search shit that Google used to answer. ChatGPT will confidently lie to you, but it least it gives you an answer instead of trying to sell something to you.
Xavienth@lemmygrad.mlto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Finally a solution to the Königsberg Bridge problem.English4·2 months agoSurely it a river doesn’t go all the way around the earth. Rivers typically have one (or many) start points, where they are surrounded on three sides by land, meaning it’s possible to cross from one side to the other. Otherwise it’s just a strait or channel.
However, that assumes you are not on the land in between a fork in the river. In which case you would have to cross a bridge outside of Königsberg, and we might have to expand the problem to crossing every bridge on the continent once.

(Also feel free to share a quick way to mentally convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, I guess we'll need it)English1·5 months agoI can honestly say that I can only tell apart differences of 1 °F in the context of pools. With air temperature there’s humidity, wind, and sunlight that all contribute to the experienced temperature in ways that can make two 68 degree days feel entirely different.

Most humans have 3 working types of colour receptors that roughly correspond to red, green, and blue. A small number of people have a fourth, letting them see colours we can’t even conceive of. My friend has this and it makes me jealous.
