  • Yeah, waves add. Which, well they add from the center which looks weird and bumpy. What’s more amazing is how good our ears are at picking out differences (it’s like 100x more sensitive to differences than other senses) so it can tell what all those individual waves would be so we can still hear the guitar vs drums vs bass vs vocals when it’s all one wave combined.










  • Fair, I suppose I understand the idea but like… idk I can think of MANY reasons (patent bullshit, could be useful, or prove to be cheaper, or developed further into something better) why having something similar to an already existing process is still good. Look at Sodium batteries potentially now being 10% of the cost of lithium ones, even if they’re a similar but generally worse storage technology. I don’t think it should be a requirement that a new process or discovery have an inherent reason/advantage. Shit like that is how we end up with leaded gasoline.





  • Yeah this all reads as “well fuck we said we were gonna have something so we’ll just go with this thing we already knew should probably be avoided but left as the only real option for pain so we’ll say it’s that and not actually change anything.”

    Now I am much more worried about is their “cure” that was “tested” and posted about in Feb of this year… on… one… single… 3 year old… who they fully doxxed showing that, incase it wasn’t obvious by n=1, that the study is fucking bullshit and not following NIH standards at all.

    I … are y’all this stupid?

    I mean I know dumb man is dumb and I don’t care to watch him speak but I don’t think he’s saying tylenol™ was the sole creator of fucking autism.

    Just saying that like 60,000 other things, inlcuding like every other pain killer, that it can cause issues for the developing baby and thus should be avoided if possible.

    Hell it probably wasn’t explicitly on the list mostly as it’s the least unsafe painkiller.


  • I mean, that shape is mostly a cone (oop realize I said negative exponent not negative with an exponent but, yeah that plus some other stuff to actually shape it a bit better), just showing… as you get older it could either get worse (if you essentially stop using it) or better (if you continue to use it). But I mean that idea is certainly less provocative than what they’ve got.


  • TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.ziptoScience Memes@mander.xyzCan't argue that.

    Yet it’s one single sample, and possibly not a great one. Few things could cause the shape seen like sample selection of healthy people ignores a lot more of the 65+ community than the younger, and also stuff like those born around the 50’s have higher lead levels could cause more of a dip, or like… plenty of stuff. After some repetitions sure but even then… that’s 11% hell I could probably put in an exponential with a negative exponent and be as accurate or better.
