- Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C 10 months ago:
I do find it somewhat ironic how much they have embraced USB-C on laptops and tablets, yet were essentially forced to add to their phones.
- Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C 10 months ago:
I responded to someone else, but I have a gaming laptop that needs the DC Barrel plug for playing games, but also lets you charge it with USB-C (useful for traveling). That would meet the standard set forth, as it is compatible with USB-C charging.
- Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C 10 months ago:
Good point with that last bit, I have a gaming laptop that comes with a big DC Barrel plug and power brick, which is essentially needed for playing games. However, it also lets you charge with USB-C which is what I use when travelling/doing productive work. I see no reason why this approach can’t be applied more regularly, as it increases flexibility and maintains compatibility with the standard.

I use navigation all the time, or have it up at least, for the live traffic updates. Very useful!

Jesus Christ on a motorbike
“The Lord was with Joshua and his Triumph was heard throughout the land.” (Joshua 6:27)
I can’t remember which translation says “triumph,” most say “noise” instead.

- Comment on Asking ChatGPT to Repeat Words ‘Forever’ Is Now a Terms of Service Violation 11 months ago:
Earlier this week when I saw a post about it, I did end up getting a reddit thread which was interesting. It was partially hallucinating though, parts of the thread were verbatim, other parts were made up.

I ended up getting a reddit thread from 3.5 with the word book, so it seems to me it’s not totally fixed yet.

For more perspective, you’d need to make $100k/y net income tax. As a random example, in North Carolina with state and federal taxes, not accounting for any deductions, that’d be about $142k/y.
Adding this because with personal salaries people typically see and think of the gross number.
- Comment on ‘ChatGPT detector’ catches AI-generated papers with unprecedented accuracy 1 year ago:
Fun fact for you, many credit-card/debit-card chips alone are comparably powerful to the computers that sent us to the moon.
It’s mentioned a bit in this short article about how EMV chips are made. This summary of compute power does come from a company that manufactures EMV chips, so there is bias present.

That’s one of the issues with these business models, it’s hard to give a consumer something and then take it away later to turn a profit (enshittification).

How were they trying to justify that statement?
- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 1 year ago:
Anecdotal, but I’ve never had a teacher tell me why Wikipedia wasn’t a good source. Similarly, I’ve never had a teacher educate students on how to properly use resources like Wikipedia as a starting point for sources. All my peers and I heard was “Wikipedia is bad, never use it, it’s not reliable, don’t trust anything from it.”
I wish I had been taught why and how earlier, but I had to learn why and how myself.
- Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan 1 year ago:
Future proofing an Internet line doesn’t make much sense to me. If a higher speed plan is available, I’d just upgrade my plan if the need arises, save money in the meantime.
