    she rejects science she doesn’t like when it comes to transgender science

    I don’t think so… her content on trans people sounds almost as impartial as it could be, but prove me wrong if you have a better source

    I think you should watch her content and draw your own conclusions about her instead of trusting clickbait-y articles or lemmy upvotes

    I wonder how much corporations are paying her to push this swill against open research that’s publicly owned.

    Probably nothing. I’ve been following her for a while and it seems to me she’s just been betrayed and disappointed by academia to an extreme that made her turn a 180 and defend private funding, when that’s clearly doomed from the start.

    I wouldn’t take these bits too seriously, but she does make good arguments overall and exposes some real problems and concerns that I’ve also seen as a grad student in a different field. I can’t agree that privatization is the way forward, but there’s more to her channel than that. I follow mostly because she’s a great explainer of the more complex concepts in quantum physics, and overall seems to know well what she’s talking about when it’s in her field.





  • In theory, moving over to 16KB has quite a few benefits. Each page table maps 4x the memory, resulting in fewer memory accesses and better cache coverage, improving performance and power efficiency. There are trade-offs, however.

    Internal memory fragmentation is slightly worse, resulting in some additional RAM being wasted when apps request small amounts of memory. Android itself has been page size agnostic since Android 15, but that doesn’t mean older applications are. Many older “native code” applications (such as those written in C or using the Android NDK) were built with 4KB pages in mind and need to be rebuilt with 16KB alignment (which remains 4KB-compatible as well). Google expects that most apps built with Kotlin are already compatible, but this is still a potentially significant developer burden. It presents a particular problem for apps that are no longer maintained or use libraries that have not yet been updated.
