How much is it?

The Dems are intentionally throwing it. It’s the only thing that makes sense at this point. The “Not Trump” donations are lucrative, and there’s no way the R’s will make insider trading illegal.
This might be the spark we need for a legitimate progressive party though. Or we get a civil war, who knows.
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 1 month ago:
Then Bing it is. I switched on my daily machine and DDG has been ok. Still a lot of sponsored shit I don’t need, but better than getting a solid lie from Google

Does it fix stick drift?

I thought it was a really good representation of the OpenAI search engine.

Just imagine a word where all the people talk like LLMs
Have you talked to real people lately? I thinking I’m leaning towards the dystopian version of humanity.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:
That’s one way to stop a union.
- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 2 months ago:
I would too, but it really depends on the company. If I can do it, I’m WFH for the rest of my career for companies < 1000 people.
FAANG (or whatever it is these days) are awful fucking people to work for. One of the developers I respect most in my career walked out on .5M in bonuses on Amazon because of their ranking system for his employees. I was shocked.
But depending on the employer it’s still a very good gig.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 2 months ago:
They are dirt cheap around me, which is why I see so many of them. I saw a 2016 Model S with the Ludacris update go for 13k. I kind of wanted it just to drive one, then I looked up the repair prices.
Sure… I’d get a maybe 200 mile range out of it in the summer…but once winter hit I was looking at like 25k-50k to replace the battery and the motors.
I can swap the motor and transmission in my car for less than 10k and have a mostly new car.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 2 months ago:
I guess my position is if a car needs an OTA update, it’s a critical failure by the manufacturer. They should be 99.999%.
- Comment on First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says 2 months ago:
You understand you need all that equipment to get a manned fighter close enough to engage. At that point firing a barrage of smart missiles is still cheaper.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 2 months ago:
“When it’s a software problem…”
Correct…now we are back to talking about vendor lock in and very specialized techs to install the updates.
- Comment on First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says 2 months ago:
How do you deploy manned fighters against an aircraft you can’t detect?
- Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge 2 months ago:
- it used to be that in every case when your car had an issue you needed to either take it in yourself or have the technical knowhow to fix it yourself.
That knowledge is mostly trivial. 7/10 repairs a regular Joe could do. Or worse comes to worse you can take it to a mechanic of your choosing.
I’ll take that level of service.
With the Tesla model, you very like end up with a 100k brick that no one can work on except very expensive very specialized very limited service centers.
A Tesla battery is expensive…now look at install costs. And if you’re not using an authorized installer, you’re locked out of the supercharger network.

Lol…wut? Really? So few people bought Windows-RT that they think no one noticed.

So they break HDMI compliance in other words.

It’s an escapist thing. People just trying to escape the reality of their lives.

It is…but they need to highlight it to investors now.

So collective bad parenting…got it.
- Comment on The Terrible Costs of a Phone-Based Childhood 3 months ago:
Meh…it’s a terrible article full of conjecture and frankly shitty casual causation.
The reason kids these days have higher rates of self harm and suicide isn’t digital. They’re getting fucking shot at when they go to school.
The parents are hyper aware of this and are overly protective. The kids aren’t going out after dark to cause havoc or just hang out with their friends any more.
There’s also a severe culture war going on between liberals and conservatives across the globe that’s distinctly split previous social groups.
None of this is due to a kid holding a smart phone. It’s down to really shitty adults doing really shitty things and then blaming the phone for exposing kids to said shittiness.
This article sucked.

So, uh…what’s your solution for removing 95% of the land area of the United States so we can all travel by foot?
- Comment on Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers' 3 months ago:
Eh…it’s sort of a valid argument…however…it’s like instagib in unreal. It was one of the funniest game modes in the game.
Instagib on low level enemies would be fun as hell…then the boss spawns show up and obliterate you…that’s how I thought this game was going to go.
Now it’s really a game of find more ammo and run from anything with armor until your strategems recharge.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers' 3 months ago:
1 tap super weapon, and introduce a viable challenge to make that obsolete.
But you’ll just get premium war bond weapons from here on out to close the difficulty gap.

The player counts for that game dove off a cliff after players realized each DLC was just pay 2 win garbage
And what exactly do you think is going to happen with this game?
- Comment on Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers' 3 months ago:
It was the patch that got me to stop playing. Why you would nerf weapons in a non-competitive game rather than make poor preforming weapons viable is beyond me.
It’s akin to Steve Jobs telling everyone they’re holding their phone wrong.
- Comment on Walmart to buy TV maker Vizio for $2.3 billion in move to grow its ad business 4 months ago:
It’s not because they’re bad TVs…it’s more likely due to the rent a center returns policy. It’s kind of popular to go get a big ass TV for the weekend sportsball thing then take it back.
- Comment on Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?” 4 months ago:
Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don’t see it, but they are not your friend.
You sound like you’ve never been laid off.

Actually…that’s the sticking point at my house. I’m ok with mouse keyboard, but my wife and kids are not.
Still trying to find a remote that will suit that use case.
