Science journalism is mostly a joke. Worst of all medical journalism.

“But the companies”. The companies will only stop doing what they do if you don’t buy from them.

Facial disfigurement: 'Restaurant asked me to leave over condition' (www.bbc.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/20203174

A man with a facial disfigurement says he was asked to leave a restaurant in south London because staff said he was "scaring the customers". 

Oliver Bromley has Neurofibromatosis Type 1, a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow on his nerves.

Speaking to the BBC, he said when he had gone to place an order at a restaurant in Camberwell, staff told him there had been complaints about him.

"It's a horrible thing to happen. I took it very personally on the day," he said.

Could anyone explain why b4 is rated as a blunder by the lichess engine. I don't see any obvious advantages for black If I follow the lines. in c/chessbeginners@discuss.tchncs.de

But I win a tempo no? Might be a fair trade. (I ended up winning this game on a tempo) While the alternative bishop move (which is objectively better as rated higher by the engine), dedevellops the bishop and loses on tempo.

There might be a kingside attack in 10+ moves that I’m missing out on maybe you’re right.

Does anyone often play the French Defence Classical Variation, Steinitz/Normal Lines as black? If so what do you focus on? Which weaknesses do you often exploit in white? in c/chessbeginners@discuss.tchncs.de

Also what do you play against the chatard akheline attack

Sorry I didn’t mean to sound cocky. It sounds like a byproduct of slow federation. As I edited my comment almost immediately (before you replied) after posting it, to correct said number and provide a source, but it doesn’t look like it got to your end.

Also MAU stands for monthly active users and not total users. But I realise that acronym may not be widespread.

So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?

Thats a fivefold difference.

True. So both have around 10 million total users. Bluesky has no monthly active user statistic. But around 1 million daily posters according to this https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

While Mastodon has ~1 million monthly active users.

So sounds like bluesky’s got a lot more activity with that many daily posters, as of now, anyways.

Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.

So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.

Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation.

For example, I have 8 mastodon accounts (tried a couple different instances and programmed a couple rss bots to give me a news feed).

I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon. For example people can follow my mastodon account on bluesky.

And bluesky has gained > 8 million users in the past couple months. Mastodon has 900 odd thousand MAU.

So clearly the majority have gone to one.

Has anyone used a recent version of stockfish at a really high depth (60+) on various chess openings? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Is it recorded somewhere? I would be curious.

I’m ofc aware chess engines are far from flawless. And humans have spent years analysing single sequences of 4 or 5 moves (openings) and written multiple volumes of novels.

But I’m still curious.
