I did you one better, I looked at their reporting and changed my opinion. Targeting smaller journals and papers is a disturbing trend amongst a number of disturbing trends in Europe.

There's something quintessentially French about building a museum and then closing it because too many foreigners are coming to see it. /s

n.b: hating the French is my cultural identity, but I only do it ironically because that's also my cultural identity

Me too! It took just one episode to hit its stride. Everyone in it was fire, too. Very sad it got cancelled.

Disinformation is not journalism. Edit: and I don't think this is disinformation. I understand why Germany would want to avoid the appearance of going against Israel, but this isn't the way to do it.

Not "giving away". Spending, for services. Which just makes it even more audacious.

And turnabout is fair play.

Where did you hear that setting your phone on fire works fix the screen? Out of curiosity.

Developing situation and I'm not laser-focused on it (I have other stuff on my mind like a broken bone and the fascism going on) hence "may", but this ^ is what I'm going off. Don't get me wrong, I run GrapheneOS myself and it's a great daily driver; I've just been looking for alternatives because of this news.

Ehhh, graphene may not be the best rec anymore given Google isn't publishing AOSP source anymore and we don't know if we can force them to through court. postmarketOS seems good, probably, but I've never tried it myself. Calling any other opinions!

This wasn't "his brain matter", these were "neuronal organoids" (clumps of neurons) grown from harvesting white blood cells and turning those into stem cells. Then the clumps were networked together with a literal wire to conduct signals between them, for timing.

Usually in organoids networks the wire delivers either regular, repeating inputs ("clean" pulses) as a reward for succeeding a task, or a random signal ("noise") for failure; this is how they're "trained" to play Pong for example:

In more advanced closed-loop setups, organoid cultures are embedded within simulated environments that allow them to “interact” in a game-like world. By using high-density multielectrode arrays (MEAs) to deliver patterns of electrical signals, researchers can create closed-loop feedback systems that enable organoids to process and respond to certain inputs (Kagan et al. [2022]). For instance, in one experiment, monolayer neuronal cultures were given sparse sensory feedback about the consequences of their actions within a simulated game. The organoids displayed short-term memory by organizing themselves in goal-directed ways, effectively learning to complete simple behavioural tasks. This capability, made possible by reinforcement learning, allows organoids to adapt based on feedback, akin to how a human brain might learn from trial and error.

These same methods are being used to train organoids as Machine Learning compute substrates, because they're much more efficient than silicon: https://aapsopen.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s41120-025-00109-3

 
 
 

I started the game with a variation of this idea from Rogue Rat, but instead of a legendary farmer's daughter I dominated a legendary hulking baboon. 53 strength and 60 health seemed like a big jump in power from my water merchant.

It's going... pretty well so far.

"Noita, but fish" indeed.

Thanks for checking out the second version of my Noita fan track! This one sounds kinda like Scandroid. I did and do love the first version which was much closer to power metal, but I wasn't happy with a lot of aspects of it. I re-wrote the lyrics, re-generated the whole thing from scratch using Suno, and then spent ten hours figuring out the basics of DaVinci Resolve to add all the different animations and transitions. It's still not perfect but I'm happy with it... for now.

I hope you enjoy it!

I had my best run going in over 280 hours. I had a homing rock wand, infinite spells and vampirism (infinite healing with the oceans of blood from corpses, not to mention grinding up the meat realm), an unmolested potion shop in the mines, and so many hearts I had 451 health with Vampirism. A fast teleport wand, a black hole wand I could have used to dig to parallel worlds eventually. I had killed The Alchemist and the Meat Realm boss with my sick homing quantum-split plasma beams on a Sparkbolt + Trigger.

Then I found Touch of Water.

No room in my inventory, onto my chainsaw wand just 'til I could get back to a Holy Mountain to save it for later. Saw a corpse, thought I'd top off my health and fired my chainsaw wand.

Actual footage of the event:

I finally feel like a real Noita!

 

I hope it's okay to cross-post this here! I'm not trying to spam, I didn't realise there was a difference between the different instances and thought my posts to one would be visible across all. I'm still getting the hang of this Fediverse thing 😄

 

This hits hard 'cause I was one of the fans so hopeful that Starbound would be Terraria 2 (In Space), and backed it on Kickstarter.

The presentation is a bit editorial at times, but I feel it's a pretty good overview of the game and the context surrounding its development, hype, and downfall.
