- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 week ago:
It’s more that it wasn’t disclosed when asked which was disqualifying.
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on your situation and objective. If you’re currently employed and want to increase potential earnings in the same track, then probably around 30/35 from my personal judgement. You should really have enough professional experience and context at that point to make up for a degree, especially if you’re engaging in continuing education, staying up to date on professional articles, watching conference talks, etc.
If you’re looking to get an MBA to move into a management track, it’s probably worth it later in life until like your 40s and 50s earnings wise.
If your current industry is tanking and you need to pivot to a new one, then you don’t really have any other options than to reskill no matter how old you are.
If you just want to learn philosophy or history independent of your work, then there’s not really a point where it’s too late, just how many classes you have time for which is wholly dependent on your life circumstances and doesn’t depend on age.

It’s more generate shock value so there’s posts like this one drumming up interest.
If it’s anything like Baldurs Gate 3, you have a decent amount of control over how much sex and gore you want in the experience based on your in game actions and they likely have nudity toggles.

Unknown could be anything. It could even be windows!
- Comment on In comedy of errors, men accused of wiping gov databases turned to an AI tool 3 weeks ago:
Why the F is a single contractor able to delete an entire DB without any kind of sign off by a manager for that operation, unless they were and to sign off for each other.
Imagine if a junior messed up the command? Every system I’ve worked on has had these controls mainly for the latter issue, by the former also shouldn’t have been possible.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 4 weeks ago:
He’s not wrong about the main point, but I think it just means you need to be clearer about the AI disclosure. Was this AI generated images, text, or voices? Was the codebase just using small amounts of AI tab completion or substantial portions of AI generated code?
- Comment on FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs 1 month ago:
An issue I’ve seen brought up in the open source community is that they have audits that look at the number of untriaged issues and time to resolve serious issues that their funding depends on.
I’m in software, but not open source, so it seems like they don’t have someone aligned with their team who they can sit down and say “either we need more resources, cut scope for new features, or accept quality / security issues coming up” to, its kind of this weird game of politics they end up needing to play to get any kind of funding for full time maintainers.
That’s the main reason they can’t just ignore issues that come up in their backlog, especially security ones.
- Comment on FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs 1 month ago:
Kind of, in this case its a vulnerability in a portion of code that you need to compile with special flags to even include in the library (ie its not in the default build, you need to rebuild it and opt-in) so its super low impact and just ends up giving the maintainers excessive paperwork.
- Comment on FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs 1 month ago:
Security vulnerabilities are different, especially when they also put a 90 day disclosure period in it which is more severe for a security exploit.
That disclosure bit, not in the article, is really what tipped this all over the edge. If it was just hey, here’s a bug then its really just flooding the backlog for the maintainers who need to triage that. Disclosures are often used so people are aware that they’re using libraries that the maintainer has refused to patch, but in this case its really just holding the maintainers hostage so they end up wasting their time going through irrelevant issues.
Ideally, they would either use their supposedly capable and powerful AI code gen to just make a fix and send over a patch, or at least use LLMs on their own end to triage the issues and only send over the most sever X periodically.

Because its the only one that supports rendering the opening cutscene from a decades old lucas arts game.
- Comment on George Santos hysterically flips out on Republican who lost NYC mayoral race 1 month ago:
To be fair, the hat is a bit much.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
No, it’s not always gendered in that way. I think my dad would be way more flexible about that. He just wants me to hit those milestones of family and house regardless of how at this point, but my mom is way more concerned with what other people might think.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
No one is going to explicitly say that, but in some communities the reaction to a son being gay is a lot harsher than to a son sexually harassing someone else.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 months ago:
Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.
Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 months ago:
This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.
- Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago. 2 months ago:
You don’t need AI for this, just a ton of money for storage and either tolerance for a slow query (like 15-20 minutes) or an engineer who knows what they’re doing in search.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 3 months ago:
Sounds like you’d rather watch a movie or show. Not a knock. I tend to not engage with plot in games unless it’s like BG3 where it’s fundamental. I like that for TV and movies, I just have the director giving me the optimal way to engage with their story and themes.
I am a sucker for a good magic or power system, so will happily explore through skill trees and the like.

Not having a feasible business model tends to be bad for companies in general.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 4 months ago:
Calling 4chan the most hateful site on the Internet ignores the fact that xitter is a thing.
The kind of hateful rhetoric and grooming are not unique to 4chan, they happen on Facebook, discord, and roblox. 4chan has just been a minimally filtered representation of underground online cultures for decades now meaning it’s still just as much a font of creativity as it is a cesspool of internet refuse.

- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 5 months ago:
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it’s normal for your family, but for most families that wouldn’t be normal.
If you’re family is open about being sex positive, if talking with your parents about masturbating wasn’t weird as a teenager, then I don’t think it’s that weird of a college send off gift.
- Comment on If you had 1 dollar and 24 hours what would you do? 5 months ago:
Spend the dollar on garbage bags and collect a bunch of bottles and cans. Depending on where you live, you could probably make a good amount of money from that. I’ve seen people with shopping carts full of bottles walking to the recycling kiosks.
- Comment on You live inside a water distiller 5 months ago:
Yeah, buts it’s just a pot still most of the time, unless it’s raining. Then it’s kind of a packed bed with super loose packing.
I guess snow and hail are something completely different. Dunno what that would be called.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
The animals know there is a weird device there, they just sniff at it and keep going. Humans would probably investigate weird out of place things, especially in cities and more dense areas.
- Comment on Should I be worried about "Prompt injection" attacks on my gmail? 6 months ago:
Sure, it’s important to be aware of future potential issues, but there’s a huge difference between I get the wrong answer when I ask a chatbot about my email vs remote code execution.
Also, one is a general security vulnerability with email as a whole, like phishing you can get scammed regardless of your email client, vs improperly implemented features in a specific library. I don’t think this is a reason to leave Gmail.
- Comment on Should I be worried about "Prompt injection" attacks on my gmail? 6 months ago:
As far as prompt injection is concerned, I don’t think it’s a risk unless you’re using some kind of agent to go though emails, which is not a Gmail specific thing.
If we’re taking about Google scraping your data the risk is more one of them having an incorrect profile on you, but running a conversational agent is quite expensive, I don’t they would have that as a large scale part of their pipeline. Embedding and clarification models likely aren’t instruction tuned so prompt injection won’t do anything.
- Comment on Should I be worried about "Prompt injection" attacks on my gmail? 6 months ago:
Only if you are piping those emails into something like an LLM assistant or search tool, especially if you’re not checking the results. And in that case, it doesn’t matter what email provider you use.
I can see it maybe messing with search results when you look through your email, but again that’s independent of email provider.

Sorry, meant you in the abstract. Not you specifically.
- Comment on US Border Patrol detained a nursing mother and separated her from her infant daughter to the point that she needed medical attention as a result of not being able to nurse 7 months ago:
Both are true here.
Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn’t care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren’t taking the situation seriously.
