Yeah but until recently that tracked the decreasing cost of storage, so you might think devs would be prioritizing lower filesizes now

Makes sense, I don’t eat meat very often, lots of rice and dried beans, potatoes, oats, stuff like that.
- Comment on Everything has corn syrup in it 2 weeks ago:
Ok, but a quart of the corn syrup based stuff is like $3, and my monthly food expenses are around $150, if I was making the kind of decisions that lead to buying maple syrup and good olive oil it would be overall a lot higher than that.

NetEase totally could do that, and then Epic’s desperate bid to cling to relevancy would be even more pathetic

I’ve tried molasses, works pretty good

Do you use anything to get it to stick together? What’s better about it? I’ve tried different combinations of ingredients but I like the kind that resembles what you might buy in a store better.

Plus, they already did that shit with Fortnite so it won’t even be novel

I love real maple syrup, would totally use that instead if I was rich

I buy corn syrup based pancake syrup to use for making granola, it works really well
- Comment on used hard drive retailers 3 weeks ago:
I had some bad luck with buying a SAS harddrive on ebay, bought like 3 in a row from different sellers that turned out to be DOA. To be fair, I was going for the lowest cost I could find for the capacity I wanted, and I did get full refunds after returning them, it was just a pain to keep installing broken harddrives, documenting how they were broken, repacking them and making trips to the post office. The fourth I bought used from Amazon for a little more money and that one worked, I noticed it was also packaged better, in its own harddrive shaped styrofoam thing instead of crammed in a small box with a thin layer of bubble wrap. The whole elapsed process took months. If I had to do it again I’d probably try more non-Amazon sellers again and try to find one that does packaging better and doesn’t try to sell broken shit because I hate Amazon but that is how it played out.
- Comment on Or they completely botch S2 by rushing it 1 month ago:
IIRC the first manga I read was Berserk and it was because the anime (the 90s one) ended right at the point in the story where it is fully established why the main character is so angry and wants revenge so bad
- Comment on I take a potato chip… and EAT IT 1 month ago:
Light was a self-righteous authoritarian megalomaniac to begin with though, so it’s easy to imagine someone else being more ethical about it. To me it seemed like the point was that it’s really tricky to stay anonymous with a maxed out threat model.

You might also look at peer.xyz, which seems to have a roughly similar concept to Payram. The website seems a little sketchy in some ways but at least the git repo has code in it and there’s a chatroom that was active last I checked.

Something about how many olives there are there is actually unsettling somehow

Maybe that makes it a separate thing then if people can’t recognize the original context, what movie is this even from
- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 8 months ago:
If your focus is LLMs, get a 3090 gpu. Vram is the most important thing here because it determines what models you can load and run at a decent speed, and having 24Gb will let you run the mid range models that specifically target this amount of memory because of this being a very standard amount to have for hobbyists. These models are viable for coding, the smaller ones are less so. Looking at prices it seems like you can get this card for 1-2k depending on if you go used or refurbished. I don’t know if better price options are going to be available soon but with the ram shortage and huge general demand it kind of doesn’t seem like it.
If you want to focus on image or video generation instead, I understand that there are advantages to going with newer generation cards because certain features and speed is more of a factor than just vram but I know less about this.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 1 year ago:
When I see this type of thing my default assumption is the actual source is ChatGPT. The article is attributed to “the editorial team” but that link just goes to a list of other articles and credits no-one. But somehow they’re putting out like 20 a day, all of them similarly lacking sources or authors, and only linking to other articles on the same site.

I wonder how many people living below the poverty line have substantial investments in the stock market though

Yeah he is just being a huge asshole in this presentation, basically shitting on all art that plays on reactions of horror to uncanny movements, there’s no meaningful commentary on technology here.
