Venusforming earth is a lot like terraforming mars, it’s just hard to reach. If 200 years ago we were able to easily reach mars, we would have fucked up that too

Who has been long-awaiting a Warcraft 3: refunded patch?
- Comment on Can U.S. Tech Giants Deliver on the Promise of Nuclear Power? 3 weeks ago:
They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.
Tech companies aren’t going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). They should have built the energy using the people’s money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they’ll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation

Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don’t want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.
The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It’s socialism for corporations using the people’s money really

Basically what happened with meme stonks too. The rich want to keep people from playing their game…
- Comment on Can U.S. Tech Giants Deliver on the Promise of Nuclear Power? 3 weeks ago:
Not just that, but it’s so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That’s why theyre trying to convince us it’s all for humanity.

Imagine if we had 10s of billions a year to drag all these companies and governments to court for OUR rights. Corporations should be second.
- Comment on Netflix has closed its AAA gaming studio 3 weeks ago:
Because it was a pandemic fueled rush. Everyone thought gaming was the best bet because we’re all at home. Companies like meta, Microsoft etc… grew astronomically on tax payer subsidies making it even better money. Other companies tried to invest or spin up game divisions.
Now the party is over, it doesn’t even matter if these games are good or have potential. They put the sunk cost in the “pandemic’s fault” spreadsheet, and take all the liabilities and costs from the expense spreadsheet. It looks fantastic on paper to investors, the real numbers dont really matter.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 3 weeks ago:
Same here (15 years). I work in all sorts of frameworks and languages. I normally would have just googled a given question to see the code i need, paste it in with everything that’s wrong, and fix it to my liking. I know what I’m doing I was just missing the specific words i havent used in a couple years, i still understand them. Copilot just avoid me opening google, clicking through some bad SEO, passing the bad answers, and doing that a couple more times to bring in everything I need. It’s a google formatter.
I also exactly like searching google. If you ask “is this cancer” you’ll find cases where it’s cancer, if you ask “is this not cancer” youll find cases where it’s cancer. You can’t trust it in that way, but you can still quickly parse the internet

Yeah I meant anywhere the sun is directly overhead, which happens to be only in certain areas, but not just in Hawaii.

- Comment on If Biden wanted to could he have people kill Trump since he is in office and SCOTUS said it was ok? 1 month ago:
It would be incredibly stupid to assume they’ll play even by their own rules. They’re just voting that because it was enough to buy Trump time and leave everything “up to interpretation”. It’s not like it was going to help Biden in the short term like it did Trump

- Comment on YouTube Premium subscribers are reporting price hikes around the globe 1 month ago:
I hate youtube pricing as much as the next guy, but I feel the headline is the opposite of the first line in the article:
YouTube is telling Premium subscribers outside the US that they’ll be paying more for the service soon,
I thought youtube was sneakily changing prices.

- Comment on Unity is ditching their much-hated runtime fees effective immediately, a year after they infuriated basically every game developer 2 months ago:
I was an engineer employed at Unity when they announced this, and it was just an unvetted move from tone deaf executives who all ran away with incredible payouts before it all went crashing.
These people should be in jail…
- Comment on PM warns of 'consequences' as thousands of CFMEU workers march across Australia 2 months ago:
Funny how this isn’t seen as a consequence of their actions by politicians. They want people to get angry at the workers and ignore it’s their policies/actions that cause these things to happen.

Those of us who collect classic game consoles and computers (here’s looking at you, AI reporter Benj Edwards) know the difficulty of keeping all that hardware not just working but instantly accessible with a simple press of a power button.
Meh, the answer is money. With money it’s easy.

- Comment on Your opinion on coming down from drugs? 3 months ago:
Depends on the drugs. Some withdrawal symptoms will absolutely kill you. Some drugs like nicotine have barely any side effects, but affect different people differently which can cause other side effects. It’s complicated. One thing for sure, is there is a notable difference between freeing yourself of something, and depriving yourself of something. Most of that happens in your head.
Anecdotally I smoked weed heavily for over a decade and quit cold turkey. I got vivid dreams for a few months, but wasn’t too bothered by it, I wasn’t “depriving” myself of weed. I did need to take a sleeping pill once every other week to finally catch a good night’s rest, but it went back to normal.

It’s whatever he wants, not just free speech, it’s not coherent. He disagrees with having to cater to advertisers, but also wants to sue them for them not wanting to do business with him.

For one, this post isn’t about any study. Second, dude said supposedly, there is “some studies”, you’ll have to go find it.
The questions youre asking at laughable no matter the study. What good is a study that says it takes a TB to store it, if they went out of their way to use 4k images? Can i make a study saying they are wrong because I used 8k images? It’s not a world record or a challenge, so you use average, favorable measures for things unrelated to the question, which is the actual specific size to the GB. All these studies do is average, so we can get a sense of how much it is today.
The method would imply statistics drawn from market averages, like the size of an ebook or whatever, it wouldn’t contain any of the info you mentioned. Your post is kinda right out of /r/iamverysmart, and you’ve made no effort to look these things up.

Ok chatgpt, you just wanted to string words together knowing very little how computers work, or how studies/conclusions work for that matter.
