You guys, the man just died… don’t we have a version of this where he has that stupid JD Vance head?
- Comment on What if LGBT adopts a white and grey striped flag to replace the rainbow? Then Florida would have to abolish crosswalks entirely. 1 week ago:
Sure it has every color but does it have our specific color?

Mate, Australia’s listening
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 1 week ago:
Yes, because I was talking to the other person who’s been all over this thread talking about their specific experience.
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 1 week ago:
Are you the person (alt) I was asking this of?
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 1 week ago:
That’s not what I’m asking. You designed or built something for some users. They didn’t like it, or didn’t use it as you expected. Was your response to change the software or blame the users for not using it correctly?
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 1 week ago:
In all your software deployments did you blame the users for not getting it or did you redesign the software because it sucked (according to your users)?

Maybe you should read a book friend.
- Comment on Chirp in Fahrenheit 1 week ago:
You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 1 week ago:
After being out of being a direct practitioner, I will say all my direct reports are “faster” in programs we use at work than I am, but I’m still waaaaaaaaaay more efficient than all of them (their inefficiencies drive me crazy actually), but I’ve also taken up a lot of development to keep my mind sharp. If I only had my team to manage and not my own personal projects, I could really see regressing a lot.

Seriously, after we cleared out so much room for them, too
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 2 weeks ago:
if only we could all be big brains like you tranes.
- Comment on Portuguese president calls Trump Soviet or Russian agent 2 weeks ago:
this might blow your mind tranes but there are even some human people older than almost 40 years.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 4 weeks ago:
Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s an issue of both rights and BioWare not having any of the good employees they used to have (see Anthem and everything else they’ve released since ME3)
- Comment on Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse 1 month ago:
and retire gracefully, where the device becomes open source and available to the community of owners who have invested in it.
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally 2 months ago:
this is 100% right, you don’t need an AI to describe something you’re already looking at. This is an absurd feature (again aside from the accessibility portion but that’s not what this is).
- Comment on Our dancers have infinite curves 2 months ago:
de-kleined
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 2 months ago:
yes, 100%, do not use an LLM for anything you’re not prepared to vet and verify all of. The longer an LLM’s response the higher the odds it loses context and starts repeating or stating total gibberish or makes up data to keep going. If that’s what you want (like a list of fake addresses and phone numbers to prototype an app), great, but that’s about all it’s going to really do.

I think they should stop.

If I pull the string what else does it say?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Why should your comment exist? Why should sky exist? Why should exist? blah blah blah
- Comment on More than 80% of UK farmers worried about climate crisis harming livelihood, study finds 2 months ago:
yeah I had the same thought, I wish these motherfuckers would vote like it.
- Comment on Kanye West officially banned from entering Australia 2 months ago:
As all nazis should be.
- Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking 2 months ago:
Yeah my MacBook is a workhorse, the kind of absurd one that actually does need to not be a tablet, but the MacBook Air and an iPad with a magic keyboard are only different in exceptionally arbitrary ways (and the iPad would be way more convenient with its touch screen, pencil support and modularity).
- Comment on Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking 2 months ago:
I use my iPad with a keyboard/touchpad as my primary fuck-around-the-house computer streaming my windows pc and MacBook, there’s obviously no reason an iPad couldn’t be running those OSes natively. That said I don’t really need for iPad os to be more in the way
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 3 months ago:
Because they’re fucking terrible at designing tools to solve problems, they are obviously less and less good at pretending this is an omnitool that can do everything with perfect coherency (and if it isn’t working right it’s because you’re not believing or paying hard enough)
- Comment on Industrial Light & Magic's Chief Creative Promotes AI Slop During His TED Talk 3 months ago:
Sigh. So, he used Photoshop? How long are we gonna keep doing this breathless “OMG an AI was used in this graphic design application!!!” shit? It’s exhausting. People are going to use AI in graphic applications because it’s really hard to avoid and it’s semi-useful at times. People will also be bad at it for a while, then they’ll get better. fucks sake.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 3 months ago:
Yeah this would still hit 100% of ads that have happened before now. And all linear tv ads on streams. Seriously willing to build it if anyone wants to work on it with me. Pm me
