Syntheturfing?
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 1 week ago:
Hispanic refers to a person with a mix of native American and Spanish heritage created when the Spaniards conquered Latin America.
White generally just refers to a caucasian-looking person.

(Can’t wait till someone sounds off about how they got hired nine years ago).
I mean I did become a ATE tech at a solar ESU startup 4 years ago.
(That is after 9 years as an mfg eng tech at a server CM and just living in the SF Bay area with countless tech jobs of all levels)

I mean, that was sorta the point of the comment…
I don’t like them and therefore, I won’t be using them, ever. I’d get a less obstructing headset instead. And, I wouldn’t get a headset just to play around with it, I’d actually want to use it and try to get to it help me doing things.

Using an AR display on those glasses with frames that thick is such a horrible idea. Google was on the right track with the HUD displayed on a frame-less prism that doesn’t block half your vision.
Last thing I’d want is to be in the middle of something with my hands full and the display bugs out, blocking the one eye, making me screw something up.

If you were to think of each of us as a bank of servers, that would be the equivalence of a nightlight with a light sensor

Yes

It stays like that
- Comment on Depends what you're on. 2 weeks ago:
IIRC yes, but they don’t keep well enough to be able to get shipped outside the regions where they grow.
They are supposed to be pretty tasty too.

The eye really sells it
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 2 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t do the barrel anyway. You’d use tube stock instead
The plastic would be too fragile to handle the heat and pressure that it’d likely be worse than a barrel-less design.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 2 weeks ago:
I imagine it wouldn’t really be too difficult to design parts in a way that they would be completely inconspicuous until trimmed and assembled
- Comment on Modern problems require modern solutions 3 weeks ago:
Probably for KinderCare or something similar to them
- Comment on ESL homework 3 weeks ago:
That the conversation was continued, just not in English
- Comment on I wish I knew of Lemmy earlier. I've wasted too much time on 'mainstream' social media. 3 weeks ago:
It’s a lemmy instance
- Comment on Wicked hangover 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it only makes sense. Measure freedom pebbles with freedom units
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 5 weeks ago:
The general thing to do is to peruse the menu to find what you want first to get that out of the way as the wait staff can be pretty quick when you first sit down. If the bread won’t distract you during, go for it. You just really want to get your order in when they come by as it could turn into a while before they come back.
They were probably taught something like that, but it became so corrupted that the entire reasoning was lost, leaving only an arbitrary wait time.
- Comment on lightbulbs 5 weeks ago:
I already have one, but not for color tone. The ‘vintage’ is supposed to simulate candlelight, while daylight simulates the sun.
- Comment on lightbulbs 5 weeks ago:
Por que los dos?
For my bedroom I have the ceiling light with two 13W(100W equiv.) for when I need the light and a 6W(6W equiv.) GE ‘vintage’ LED in a nightstand lamp for the rest of the time.
- Comment on YSK facts about renewable vs fossil, and more 5 weeks ago:
Especially when everyone is so cryptic about it. Instantly kills any desire for it.
- Comment on Drug dealers hate this one weird trick! 5 weeks ago:
Or just simplify it using a scale to get 1 gram per liters
226.8g (8oz.) / 208.19765L (55gal.) = ~1.08935g/L
- Comment on If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first. 5 weeks ago:
Was it testing for something specific or was it just the standard panel you get with a physical? I only ask as that would be absurd unless it was specialized (like screening for a specific type of cancer), even for the US.
If it was just a regular blood panel, that is shady as hell and needs to be questioned.
To give reference, I just had my yearly and the three that they did would’ve been ~$200 without insurance; in the SF bay area, at that.
- Comment on Neocities deindexed from Bing 5 weeks ago:
Startpage seems nice. Uses sanitized results from Google and while it does have an AI feature, it’s opt-in (not out) and looks to also be sanitized.

I think they meant we’ll be nostalgic about it in a decade, not that his damage will take a decade to complete

I guess cachy wasn’t very catchy.
(I’ll see myself out)
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 1 month ago:
I think I read somewhere that we do have the technology to create a Dyson sphere but it would be too much of a massive undertaking time and labor-wise at our current level.

They also said they weren’t attracted, not that they couldn’t appreciate

They want consumers to have cheap low-resource systems so they are forced to use the cloud for storage and processing.

Also, one-offs aren’t really allowed outside of r&d. Everything has to have at least one piece in a batch go through testing, including destructive.
