  Isn’t this the 1 letter typo where removing it makes the game massively better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Do I get a magical garauntee that it would happen? Because otherwise no given the state of governance; they would absoloutely raise taxes then talk about making trains free until everyones forgotten and then maybe make trains cheaper for a specific age group for a while with that reduction being completely eaten by ticket price rises within 2 years.

  So the takeaway is that violent protest is 100x more legal than peaceful protest right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair fusion energy got less than the minnimum ‘fusion never’ funding, AI on the other hand is getting all the money in the damn world.

  I feel like LLMs didn’t hit a deadend so much as people started trying to use them in completely inappropriate applications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And finally, when they employ zero people, and no one has any money to buy their product they will have finally hit infinite profits. Seriously though it doesn’t look like we’re doing UBI any time soon and I doubt the ultra rich would kill off everyone on purpose because half the point seems to be to have people they can feel superior too. Are we just going to wipe ourselves out in a weird paperclip maximizer scenario where we pile up a ton of shit no one can actually buy but has to keep being made to make a line go up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like 1 had the best vibe, 2 had the best story (but also the worst balance) and 3 had the most fun vault hunter designs.

  10 Mbps is like average Scotland internet unless you’re in a major city.

  While pay has also functionally gone down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s still not entierly mass dependant, the point is at a distance based on a ratio between the two masses, if Jupiter were closer to the sun then the point would be inside the sun. Its still impressively massive to pull the point outside of the sun at any functional distance but so could a grain of dust with sufficient distance and a big empty universe to prevent anything else from interupting things.

  Invidious sadly doesn’t allow for an account and subscriptions, at least not without running your own server which appears… complex.

  Last time though there was a one generation gap before new jobs appeared and a bunch of people got to die of cholera in overcrowded conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading your comment makes this concept even stranger because you can sustainably farm trees to get the same carbon removal benefits and then also make money selling the lumber which will keep the carbon locked up just fine if you make sure to sell it for long term use applications like carpentry.

  McDonalds where I live also still just uses the behind the counter menus (no kiosk menu) so you kind of need to walk over there anyway to be able to make out the actual text of the menu underneath the constantly scrolling advertisements that keep covering it.

  The problem with conservatism is you eventually run out of others peoples stuff to sell.

  Exactly, We created an increasingly awful world to live in, its no wonder people want to try and live in a different one as much as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I went to the UK last week. Nothing about my trip was legal.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The majority of British citizens would not pass a british citizenship test or even those same customs checks. The customs checks are so broad everyones going to ding at least one flag and the citizenship test has stupid innane stuff like sports questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we can find information by asking GenAI, who needs the Web?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I really don’t get is that there are in fact models that you can feed a document too and they will directly copy/paste quote relevant parts of that document in their reply complete with a little reference to the correct page. Basically a smarter ctrl-H function that can take sentences as input.

  When that exists why is google using the probabilistic shit in their search?

  Unions are part of the social contract, its very simple. Those that have aren’t too harsh on those who have less, or we drag them into the street and tear them limb from limb like wild animals. We’re simply working through the various stages between complaints and dismemberment.

  They could always use a poster…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Black Holes...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair even our attempts at describing a technically possible but implausably simple version of a blackhole are essentially educated speculation. Although worth noting that black hole like objects did appear in fiction before they were discovered IRL.

  People who fawn over generative AI haven’t tried to use it for more than 5 seconds. I wish it could run a ttrpg game for me or even just remember the details of its original prompt but its not even close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3129: Archaeology Research⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of happens accidentally sometimes. Like it turns out you can use pond scum as a very basic medium for some very shitty but functioning solar pannels, we could have invented solar power as soon as we could work copper and tin if it werent for the whole needing to know all the reasons why you would even want to do that.

  Governments fail to implement incredibly obvious, easy, and proven solutions all the time so yeh they can be pretty dumb. Not to mention historical examples of governments (paricularly the UK when it was a world superpower) investing their entire economies in nigerian prince tier scams.

  You could probably gradually get it moving across the surface fast enough to escape though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the game development is increasingly shoving the hardware burden onto the consumer by using poorly made tools to streamline development with garbage optimization which is why a gaming rig now has to be powerful enough to simulate a gaming rig from 10 years ago down to the atomic level but the graphics haven’t gotten appreciably better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it feels like such an obvious regulation, any unused roof space should by law have one of the following:

  • Heat reflective paint (This is mostly there for particularly fragile roof structures or people who can’t afford the others)
  • Solar pannels
  • Artifical meadow
