Quote one thing that’s interesting that isn’t in a popular meme.
A platypus baby is called a puggle
Our memories are kinda stored like ChatGPT prompts. A lot of the problems with AI exist in our brains as well.
Purple is not a wavelength of visible light. It is a mixture of blue and red. However, it does look a lot like violet, which is a range of wavelengths of visible light.
Brown is just desaturated orange. You can even make the same color appear either orange or brown by changing the color surrounding it. Brown exists only in our brains.
I wish I retained all the things I learn. I learn and learn and learn, but unfortunately then I forget and forget and forget. Leaving me with no knowledge about the wide array of interesting subjects I’ve poured hours of my life into learning about.
“did you know that when it comes to x it’s actually a myth and y is how it actually is… Or wait is y the myth”
Problem with watching so much QI is I can never remember if the fact was in the General Ignorance round where they debunk common misconceptions.
Same.

Absolutely. Chances are that what you need is a library card from your local public library. When trying to learn more about graphene semiconductors, I couldn’t find the paper that was referenced in articles anywhere that wasn’t paywalled. After a contemplating for a while I checked my library’s site and, sure enough, they offer free, searchable access to academic journals.
try anna’s archive and sci-hub next time, they usually have most papers for free
The public library is also free and accessible via the Internet. And it has awesome librarians that I can reach out to if need be. Additionally, utilizing the library’s resources can help demonstrate their demand and justify budget allocation.
yeah you should absolutely support your local library if you can, I’m just an introvert who doesn’t like it
That’s one of the awesome things, at least with my local library, which is about a 5-10min walk from where I live. Nearly every service that they offer is available online, if you have a card. The card is free and the only time that I’ve had to go in in-person was to verify my address.
While I was there the librarian even walked my through apps that are useful for managing digital loans, etc. Libby being the one most useful for ebook and audiobook loans.
If all else fails, just contact the authors, they are usually not restricted from distributing their papers, and many will just send it to you for free
Hmm, how did you access the library’ site?
Through the Internet. I just needed a library card to log in, which I was able to sign up for through the Internet as well (did have to bring evidence of residency in to have it fully instated).
Its probably
opens first link about topic and starts believing all info
Depends entirely on what you’re researching, and how “deep” you’re researching.
“Just” a Internet connection, will get you extremely far nowadays though.
That’s also how I develop stuff.
Once I tried to look up how to exit a fullscreen mode under the Windows API, then I realized I haven’t even started cursor support, nor icons.
Is not me. I don’t know a lot of shit. Still internet and zero self-regulation though haha
I tell them, “I read. A Lot. Like 1,500 to 2,000 pages a day.”
The post is probably more accurate.
Those are a lot of things…
Oh no! It me!
I can relate.
“Varied interests.”
I usually just respond “I’m a sustainer”.
