Ask Science@lemmy.world•We all grew up with In Space No One Can Hear You Scream...is this true? Is there any sound out there without picking it up on an electronic device?English

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Vast scale of overseas human remains held in UK museums decried by MPs and expertsEnglish
3·8 days agoThis is pretty shoddy reporting
UK museums hold more than 263,000 items of human remains from around the world, including whole skeletons, preserved bodies, such as Egyptian mummies, skulls, bones, skin, teeth, nails, scalps and hair.
So, to be clear, they aren’t distinguishing between an entire mummy and a lock of hair.
37,000 items of human remains are known to originate from overseas
Experts said the findings contradict a claim made by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in its 2005 guidance that said “the vast majority of human remains in UK museums are of UK origin
37,000 / 263,000 ≈ 0.14 or 14%. Am I wrong to think that 86% qualifies as a “vast majority”?

Technology@lemmy.world•At 25, Wikipedia faces a double threat: the rise of AI and the decline of local media— Human visitors declined in 2025, while AI crawlers are on the riseEnglish
291·9 days agoI used to be an editor on there so have a lot of mixed feelings about it, there’s a lot of bullshit that goes on.
It’s good for hard sciences, but most articles on “soft” subjects like history do have a pro western liberal capitalist bias. Although the amount of bias usually depends on what senior editor decided he owns the article, despite “owning” articles being against the Wikipedia rules.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobsEnglish
28·10 days agoTo analyse the impact of this study I recommend that we set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms of reference so that at the end of the day we’ll be in the position to think through the various implications and arrive at a decision based on long-term considerations rather than rush prematurely into precipitate and possibly ill-conceived action which might well have unforeseen repercussions.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•British female athletes forced to pay for sex tests to competeEnglish
2·10 days agoYes, that was my point.
If they have to pay “out of pocket” for existing tests it’s at-least consistent, if unsavoury.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•British female athletes forced to pay for sex tests to competeEnglish
19·10 days agoGenuine question, do they have to pay for their own drug testing?
Also they’re using cheek swab testing, is that even guaranteed to pick up xx/xy chimerism?

Technology@lemmy.world•CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430UEnglish
33·11 days agoIt’s odd they found this in the unit the manufacturer sent them for review. With this kind of scam they would normally make sure the review models had the correct processor. I wonder if this was done by a supplier or subcontractor without them knowing.

25·13 days agoI’d rather not see a great firewall of Europe.
I’d be happy to see them banned from doing business here though. Hit them where it hurts, their money.
