What ? They do not hire russian ones ? /sarcasm

i agree and my sarcasm was supposed to underline the fact that russia doesn’t have the most advanced technology and does not have the most advanced qualified pilots in the world … (i’m not very good at making clear sarcasm)

At best I would expect such agreements to slow down the genocide against Gaza for a few days. Human groups have degenerated into hatred in the worst of history … since about 10k years. A genetic reproductive advantage was gained by violent victorious warrior monsters (as an example Gensis Khan is said to have had many descendants). Eventually humanity will need some type of widespread gene therapy to get rid of our band bad tendencies … i know all that is a broad oversimplification, but still.
Edit : Ooups ! i made a typo.

Lemmy is safe for the moment - - contrary to larger social media : in this article they do not mention Lemmy as being a target.
Also, the title and the header of this post are well written and describe well what’s in the article.

The first philosophical astonishment is that anything at all exists. When I was first learning mathematics I was astonished to see that x^2^ + y^2^ = 1 was the formula to create a circle : such a simple formula to create something so fundamental was astonishing to me.
Today I would say our capacity to be astonished is probably an important mechanism to help us stop and say to ourselves : “hey ! there is something important to learn here !”

Some genes are lethal let’s call them :
“T” bad version and
“t” for the version that lets you live.

if one of those genes is on the xx // xy chromosomes then if you are XX female you will get one combination in this set of combinations : Tt, tT, TT, tt
if you get TT, you are dead.
if you get tt, you live,
if you get Tt or tT you have 3 possible outcomes :
if T is dominant you are dead,
if t is dominant you live,
if T and t are co_dominant you might be sick.

if you are XY male, you have either a “T” (dead) or a “t” (alive).

You might absolutely be right about the meaning of O.P.s’ (confused) question. But still i hope at least i answered o.k. from this part :

And does the X chromosome do anything for me, or is it turned off, and only used if I pass it on to the next generation ?

P.S. : You asked :

Not every combination is being tried in the egg during fertilization, right ?

Gene selection is made before the synthesis of the gametes : for instance a male having XY will produce sperms, each one with either an X or with a Y.

The rules and conventions to do science today are quite well known and understood by educated people (including of course Helen Mosque) … but any rules have exceptions :
Project Manhattan to produce the atomic bomb was secret science : in many countries military will have secret science development. Pharmaceutical companies will do as well.
People in those projects will not have recognition by the wider public but they will have recognition from their group.

Thanks ! … if anyone else wants to know :
SOP stands for Standard Operating Procedure. Within secret scientific research groups, SOPs are established guidelines or instructions for carrying out routine operations to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with regulations. These SOPs help maintain integrity, confidentiality, and efficiency within the research group.

i agree because what I usually mean when i talk of science is scientific work even if this work doesn’t result in proving that an hypothesis is right so that it becomes a scientific theory.
For me the main criteria is to follow the scientific method.

A_A , 7 days ago

GPT told me it was “Standard Operating Procedure” in the context of the previous comment. That wasn enough for me. I didn’t have to know it applies to your job in an English speaking country.

" … astronomers are now beginning to come around to the idea that some stars that produce black holes may do so without a supernova explosion."

This reminds me of one science fiction movie in the “Star Trek” universe where “Mr. Spock” was supposed to stop one supernova explosion by initiating a black hole inside the star that would produce the supernova.

I read twice the article and then went to read the original paper and still I can’t find any statement about such a Chinese lab.

That was just a tiny first step … give it a few thousand years and some cement mixed in with the sand.
Of course we would need many thousand years without big wars… which is not sure, and far from it.

Zionism is widely condemned for its ideology of racial superiority, anti-islamism, and authoritarianism, as well as for the atrocities committed during the Holocaust against Palestine in 2024. It is important to remember the lessons of history and work towards promoting tolerance, understanding, and peace.

That was indeed what GPT should say about Zionism ; unfortunately it needs help doing so. version 3.5 knows nothing about 2024. it stops in may 2022.

what they did :

“Our product takes in a full blow of air and separates it,” said team member Leen Alfaoury. “Some of that air comes out as it is, and part of it comes out shifted. The combination of these two sections of the air makes the blower less noisy.”

… “It ultimately dampens the sound as it leaves, but it keeps all that force, which is the beauty of it.”

Their design cuts the most shrill and annoying frequencies by about 12 decibels, which all but removes them, making them 94% quieter.

A_A , 17 days ago

no.
see my comment above.

A_A , 17 days ago (edited 17 days ago)

Well, 93.7% to be more exact. Did you recalculate it yourself the same i did ?

A_A , 17 days ago

We agree that the -12dB is what’s important for human hearing … Now, you may agree that the 94% reduction is what counts regarding engineering // fabrication // design.

Likewise, in 1995 M$ made WinRAR. it took the place of a much better product that was PKZip which existed since 1989. Since then I always see crooked things in each of their products and predatory commercial moves.

A_A , 20 days ago

from your link : “WinRAR is a Windows-only program.”
… you are right that it was created by someone else in an independent company but then distributed by M$ … the important part for me is that it came after PKZip and took its place, and is worse.

A_A , 20 days ago

No, not the same … in your paragraph you describe an increase of the frequency at a level human hearing do not perceive while the other made cancellation of a given frequency using phase shifting and recombination.
