Gotta love how this is such a shitpost that someone watermarked inventing a Keanu tweet that never existed
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 16 hours ago:
TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.
But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.
But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day

Nowadays burning man is just like the tech bros corporate retreat, so if it’s today’s burning man we just skipped some steps toward technofuedalism

There is a 90% chance the cat knocked over that drink and is now annoyed that it’s spilling. This is like chaotic neutral kitty lol
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 1 week ago:
For me that’s like the inverse. Plenty of fast food around me but the nearby McDonald’s is pretty crazy efficient (and generally busy), always gets my order right without issue. Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy’s in the area are all terrible with order issues, badly prepared food, etc. I’ve never checked but I wonder which of the stores are franchises and which are corporate owned and if that makes a difference

I thought it was the Big Beautiful Boundless Beefy Beastly Booty-Eatin’ Bacon Barbecue Bunger Burger
But really Bernie orders one for everybody in the restaurant
Or maybe it was the Big Brapping Beter Butt-Eating Booby Bunging Bodacious Buttery Bunger Back-Baby Bernie Sanders approved Bitten Boundless Beyond Burger (It’s Vegetarian)
I never remember which one

CSIT but yeah. I work in a company with people with masters in CS from Ivy League schools and they don’t understand the first thing about how hardware or their OS works. Common misconception - Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone 1 week ago:

It always surprises me when insects I see go like straight for the eyes when I confront them. I don’t know if it’s an instinctual thing but it feels like some part of evolution has gotten into tiny insect brains of like “go for the face for the big boss fights” and it genuinely works
- Comment on leading ai company 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m the lead mobile engineer at my company. We release bigger updates once a month and smaller hotfixes generally weekly or biweekly. For smaller updates we get approval in around 6 hours. They also have a way to expedite reviews in which case we’ve gotten like 30 minute turnaround on reviews (though that’s like boy that cried wolf, only use it if you need to push something really urgent)
- Comment on leading ai company 1 week ago:
Any update that hits the App Store and increments a version number goes through the Apple review process.
Certain updates can be done on the fly with custom or third party solutions like ionic.io/docs/appflow/deploy/intro
But this graph doesn’t make it clear if these updates are new binary app deployments or on the fly updates

- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s just generally still way higher powered than the switch 2. But Nintendo has always sold underpowered hardware because of their monopoly on their properties

It’s wild that “we’re cooked” started as straight meme terminology but now literally describes the future of the human race
- Comment on NANDalf! 2 weeks ago:
Lol this gets into the weirdness of my comment and the parent which is that you can’t deal in multiples in a binary gate and English is very vague about if “you” is one or multiple
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 2 weeks ago:
If everyone turned off their smartphones for a day it would account for less than 1% of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet.
If you have a fridge in your house it’s likely using almost 100 times more power than your smartphone. Your heating or air conditioning is using far more power. The steel industry, agricultural industry, transportation, are all pumping out greenhouse gasses at a rate that using electronics is negligible.
AI is becoming another one of those industries, but if everyone turned off their personal devices, they would still need to get up, go to work, which would likely use AI, because they need to buy groceries and pay rent and keep their home powered, and capitalism churns.
Being outraged at the systems around us is a good thing, pointing the outrage toward people living daily lives while wealthy corporations and people do everything in their power to do as little as possible for social good while farming maximum personal benefit, power, and profit is not.

Lol rich people won’t have children in the future
They’ll just clone themselves and work to remove genetic impurity. Why do you think Elon has had so many IVF kids he never interacts with?

Basically, but with MCP and SLMs interacting rather than a singular model, with the coordinator model only doing to work to figure out who to field the question to, and then continuously provide context to other SLMs in the case of more complex queries

For those that haven’t seen this clip from Command and Conquer 3, watching him try not to break as he delivers an absolutely ridiculous line with all his energy is perhaps one of the best bits of acting I’ve ever seen
