People calling Gabe their god are probally like that, tho.

They repeat and rephrase questions in contexts like this to look for consistency/coherence in your responses. And because some people interpret questions differently.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 5 hours ago:
As soon as they fix the memory issue, sure. Otherwise it’s gonna be schizophrenic.

Brownies and Cookies make more sense. But are perishable. 🤔 I never really considered that.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 1 day ago:
I’m surprised to hear that about the docs. I would have assumed it was very technical and assumed a lot of domain knowledge. Based on the Arch memes.
Great to hear!

The existence of PC Master Race tells me everything I need to know about gamers who cling to windows.

Huh, Unity owns IronSource.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 5 days ago:
IIRC, it wasn’t a terrible game. It just wasn’t a unique enough game to compete in the space. Just another hero shooter. Just another live service.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 days ago:
I’m aware of Valve being very generous with warranty/replacements of controller hardware for the Index. Even years after the warranty is up. But I think this is because of the major durability issues and known defects that the Index Controllers have.
In any case, Valve seemingly has lost money on a certain percentage of Valve Index kits/controller hardware. Based on how many people I know, including myself, who have gotten replacement hardware from Valve. Sometimes many times for recurring issues.

But they made Google dance, right? Maybe that’s all Satya Nadella needed out of it.

Steam is flooded with indie games, yeah.

I did the same! But never go caught.

I would take the txt guides for RPG games and print them on the laser printers at my high school.
- Comment on How Old We're You when You Learned the Word, "Fascist"? 1 week ago:
I finally had a definition stick when I heard Dan Harmon yell that Trump is a fascist on his old podcast. Back during the first term.
I’m part of the problem, I guess.

Five year olds know how a store works.
Five year olds won’t figure out how to pirate a game.

The make so much money on their games. I don’t understand why they have to be like this.
- Comment on Anime studio bankruptcies and closures continue to rise for third consecutive year in Japan 1 week ago:
That seems like a better culture and way of doing things.
I just don’t think it’s possible to have that in the US market, or others.
I would love for streaming platforms to compete on features. I use to have HBO via Apple TV Channels before HBO bailed on the deal. And I enjoyed it because Apple dos complete on quality and ease of use, at least when it comes to this specific situation. It was better than the official HBO app(s).
- Comment on An accessibility testing suite 2 weeks ago:
The thing is, you need to make proper PDFs for screen readers to be able to access the content in the PDF in an accessible way. So I’m not sure what you mean by “try just using screen readers.”
- Comment on An accessibility testing suite 2 weeks ago:
I’m dealing with this right now too.
My advise is to ditch the PDFs where possible, and go with HTML documents. They are far easier to make and to make accessible.
PDFs have always been a nightmare, and the new accessibility rules are making thousands of people in education finally realize that.
- Comment on Anime studio bankruptcies and closures continue to rise for third consecutive year in Japan 2 weeks ago:
Anyone demanding that one platform carry all tv and movie content, even if just one genre, is not understanding the industry.
It’s not like music, and it’s historically not like music either. You never had one channel with all content. You never had one Home Video company with all content. And cable is not like a streaming service, it’s like the internet. Streaming services are more akin to channels.
Also, doesn’t crunchy roll have a very large percentage of anime? At least relative to something like Netflix having all Sitcoms?

- Comment on Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory 4 weeks ago:
Precision, nuance, and up to the moment contextual understanding are all missing from the “intelligence.”
- Comment on ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web 4 weeks ago:
During setup, Atlas pushes very aggressively for you to turn on “memories” (where it tracks and stores everything you do and uses it to train an AI model about you)
I wonder, do memories really train a model about the user? Or are they just shoved in the context window strategically? Possibly selected by a small performant model in the background based on relevance to the current context window?
Training millions of mini models on people would be really interesting, and I don’t think I’ve noticed anything saying that is happening, yet. Even tho it seems like a logical idea.
