- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 3 days ago:
There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 5 days ago:
I think the average American is making just about enough to get by, and probably would have a hard time, though not an impossible one, affording an extra ~$2k a year. (I can’t find a solid figure for the average household living wage in the US, but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty close to the average household income)
It is a bit weird to define above average wage as rich though. But there is really no definitive class border so I think it’s slightly useless to argue about. You can also define above average as rich while still directing your hate towards the .1%.
Also I don’t really detect any hate there?
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 5 days ago:
I feel like generally a good way to summarize it is that em dashes can be used basically anywhere there would be a pause in natural conversation. You pause to include some content, you switch topics, etc. It’s fairly intuitive.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 1 week ago:
George Floyd protests had more than that (closer to 8%) and they didn’t really change anything.
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 2 weeks ago:
Game design is a big part of this too. Particularly first person or other fine camera control feels very bad when mouse movement is lagging.
I agree with what the other commenters are saying too, if it feels awful at 45 fps your 0.1% low frame rate is probably like 10 fps
- Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now. 3 weeks ago:
Computers are still advancing roughly exponentially, as they have been for the last 40 years (Moore’s law). AI is being carried with that and still making many occasional gains on top of that. The thing with exponential growth is that it doesn’t necessarily need to feel fast. It’s always growing at the same rate percentage wise, definitionally.

You’re still perfectly visible in shadows and reflections. Anyone who catches you in a mirror will see you completely naked.
Ambient light occlusion counts too, the area covered by your feet looks perfectly black.

Is that a term people use to describe eating in real life? Not just Minecraft?
- Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:
The ice created has an index of refraction of 1 and extremely low surface reflectivity. It is almost impossible to see and can appear anywhere within 5 meters of you.

Does a capacitor count?

- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 4 weeks ago:
I think the general idea is that the ar/vr stuff would be non invasive
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 4 weeks ago:
The startup here is making stuff for medical conditions, not games.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 4 weeks ago:
Medicine in the US is very expensive. There is a lot of money in helping with neurological conditions or paralysis.

That’s anticheat, not drm
- Comment on Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s probably not something I would have chosen if I had the option but I don’t really care about the curved screen.
- Comment on Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC 1 month ago:
Yea, I got the op 12 because it was just $50 more than the r on Amazon at the time.
It’s definitely powerful enough but I’m slightly disappointed by the software, arcore is just completely broken, and hdr is fairly spotty (works in yt app and photos app but doesn’t work in chrome or Google photos)

Can an LLM be sad, happy or aware of itself and the world? No, not by a long shot.
Can you really prove any of that though?
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 month ago:
They train it on basically the whole internet. They try to filter it a bit, but I guess not well enough. It’s not that they intentionally trained it in religious texts, just that they didn’t think to remove religious texts from the training data.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 month ago:
You don’t think having a machine (that seems like a person) telling you “yes you are correct you are definitely the Messiah, I will tell you aincient secrets” has any extra influence?
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 month ago:
We have ai models that “think” in the background now. I still agree that they’re not sentient, but where’s the line? How is sentience even defined?

Yes, 1 just looks like the bare minimum stamped sheet metal

The Chinese market already has better EVs than Tesla for cheaper afaik. Teslas don’t sell well there anymore.
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 2 months ago:
Blahaj.zone is an instance aimed at queer people, but it doesn’t have to prevent non-queer people from participating. I would imagine an instance aimed at women to be similar.
- Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed 2 months ago:
It dissolves in water, so you can also just let things soak for a while. Glue stick is made of the same polymer that people use to print dissolvable support material.
- Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed 2 months ago:
Glue stick washes off in about 30 seconds. I wouldn’t want to use it all the time, but for just 1 part it won’t inconvenience you very much.
- Comment on Horror 2 months ago:
I was thinking about this a bit yesterday and I think the most feasible way would be to suspend a glass sheet above the lake, and then give people harnesses with magnets on the top that attach to magnets on the other side of the glass sheet. Then just put ball bearings on both sides to reduce friction.
- Comment on Horror 2 months ago:
You could try to use magnetism or something tho, although that means you’d only be able to walk on specially prepared lakes
- Comment on Horror 2 months ago:
Unless there’s force coming from somewhere other than buoyancy, you can’t get better than than 1.29 kg per cubic meter of lift in air at stp.
- Comment on Horror 2 months ago:
Well, air weighs a little bit more than 1 kilogram per cubic meter, and those balloons look a little bit smaller than a cubic meter
