- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 22 hours ago:
The biggest frustration is not me changing settings.
The biggest frustration is windows changing back those settings whenever it feels like it.
This is just doubling down on the “greatest frustration”

home alone 2 was the best movie?
- Comment on ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why 2 days ago:
we do understand why. It’s model collapse due to “inbreeding”
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 6 days ago:
the only tatches that stuck with me were the original pebble, pebble time steel, and a pinetime. I also have a galaxy watch gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, which is just not practical
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 1 week ago:
yes, not from apple though. That’s a guarantee they would be useless for a tinkerer
- Comment on 1 week ago:
first of all, there exist more than one numeral system. Ex. I, X, V, A, B, C, D, E, F,etc
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 1 week ago:
only until they find out most people never enable it. Then it will be forced on

- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 1 week ago:
and our manager sounded so proud to announce it. I just don’t use it, but lowered my standards instead. If they want us to use more ai, then ai quality work is what they’re going to get. It has indirectly made my job easier by helping me give less of a fuck.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 weeks ago:
don’t you want copilot in your notepad?

i couldn’t make my way through this. It was so slow and boring for me
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 4 weeks ago:
the size of the framebuffer has nothing to do with how much power the device has to fill it up.
Even the crappiest integrated gpu is “4k” capable
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
they need none of that stuff. It’s your own pc that handles the heavy stuff. From their end, the only point is to allow you to stream videos from behind one or more NATs
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
just because it is used for stuff, doesn’t mean it should be used for stuff. example: certain ai companies prohibit applicants from using ai when applying.
Lots of things have had tons of money poured into them only to end up worthless once the hype ended. Remember nfts? remember the metaverse? String theory has never made a testable prediction either, but a lot of physicists have wasted a ton of time on it.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
we already knew what X was. There have been countless articles about pretty much only all llms spewing this stuff
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
the model does X.
The finetuned model also does X.
it is not news
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
again: hype train, fomo, bubble.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
so? the original model would have spat out that bs anyway
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
well yeah, I tend to read things before I form an opinion about them.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
ever heard of hype trains, fomo and bubbles?
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
well the answer is in the first sentence. They did not train a model. They fine tuned an already trained one. Why the hell is any of this surprising anyone?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
bitcoin is a workaround, not a solution to the byzantine problem. Its security hinges on humans placing value on it and wanting to hoard it. It’s a clever psychological thing that makes it so that the participating cleanly is more advantageous than trying to cheat. But the byzantine fault problem is just as mathematically impossible to solve as ever (because proven math does not change).
- Comment on What are the chances of this? 2 months ago:
this cracked me up so much. Saw the video, read the comic, but never put them together haha
- Comment on Suffering is Real. AI Consciousness is Not. 2 months ago:
if you have an active and an inactive process, you’re already incomparable to an llm
- Comment on Perplexity open sources R1 1776, a version of the DeepSeek R1 model that CEO Aravind Srinivas says has been “post-trained to remove the China censorship”. 2 months ago:
not remove ic replace.
Also, stop calling releasing binary blobs of weights as open source
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 2 months ago:
yes, exactly. You lose your critical thinking skills
- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 2 months ago:
I view it as the source code of the model is the training data. The code supplied is a bespoke compiler for it, which emits a binary blob (the weights). A compiler is written in code too, just like any other program. So what they released is the equivalent of the compiler’s source code, and the binary blob that it output when fed the training data (source code) which they did NOT release.
