This game is the reason my eyes and vestibular systems are disconnected.
- Comment on The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account 4 weeks ago:
Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
JD should definitely be higher than Strange on the Y axis. He cares way more for his patients.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
So Dr. Strange is trained in neurosurgery, which is a 7 year residency compared to 3-4 years for internal medicine. He may have also done a neurosurgery fellowship for 2 years.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
But that’s the Y axis. Training is on the X. As a neurosurgeon, he’s had at least 2 more years of training than JD, possibly a lot more.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
Dr. Strange should have more formal training for his surgery specialty. Did JD specialize or did he just stay in internal medicine?
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
And does he actually have no formal training? You’d think at some stretch of his life he actually became accredited somewhere. Possible on multiple planets.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
You can test this: ismy.blue
Obviously not perfect since it depends on screens and lighting conditions.
- Comment on Mazda's $10 Subscription For Remote Start Sparks Backlash After Killing Open Source Option 1 month ago:
Yeah the problem is Mazda was abusing the DMCA instead of setting up their API properly. The API should fail if you try to use it without a subscription. It seems like this check was done elsewhere, which is just bad design. And then they used the legal system to cover it up.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
I know some people upgrading Pixels every year because with trade in and sales they only need to pay like $200. I don’t think Sony will take an existing PS5 though…

Wow this is a reference from my childhood. Feeling old now.
- Comment on FAA grounds SpaceX after rocket falls over in flames. 2 months ago:
I doubt this grounding will last long since it’s unlikely to affect other flights. They’re just looking for an understanding of why this happened and it could very well be due to some wear that wasn’t expected.

ArXiv?
- Comment on NASA says astronauts stuck in space will not return on Boeing capsule, will wait for SpaceX craft 2 months ago:
Of course last time when only the government would take the blame they sent the astronauts to their deaths. This time they have a scapegoats and an alternative.
- Comment on Self-driving Waymo cars keep SF residents awake all night by honking at each other 3 months ago:
My coworker feels more comfortable cycling around the Waymo’s than human drivers.

And every once in a while: New status effect - skin cancer.
- Comment on AI trained on AI garbage spits out AI garbage. 3 months ago:
Of course modern UX design is very much based on getting the right answer with the wrong inputs (autocorrect, etc).
- Comment on If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead. 3 months ago:
A lot of people would say the internet was down if a large number of those products weren’t available. Also companies like Google do own parts of the physical Internet infrastructure.

I bet you could bring it up with them now…

I mean there was that Chinese balloon last year that was literally shot down by a F-22 so… yes?
- Comment on Part of this complete breakfast! 4 months ago:
Azides are nitrogen compounds though, so still usefully to know.

Oh so they’re just going to do beta testing on the users anyways, just after release…

Well maybe they’ve gotten enough nice points they can turn them in for one sex?
- Comment on Using The Wind And Magnets To Make Heat 4 months ago:
If he turned it into a generator and powered a heat pump he could get 2-3x the heat energy than he generates.
- Comment on This prototype turns your car’s windshield into a giant AR display 4 months ago:
HUDs are something I thought would be gimmicky but it’s actually really useful. Eg. for navigation it can show you where/when your next turn is without having to take your eyes off the road. It works really well in my experience.
- Comment on Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining? 5 months ago:
In my experience I can write more code after a few drinks. However I usually find that the code is of low quality when I check it the next day…
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 6 months ago:
More than we can consume right now. We used to think this about oil as well. Humans will seek to reach this limit as quickly as possible. It will certainly create new technologies. However I don’t think it will solve scarcity problems for everyone since many of those issues are not resources or technology but politics. We choose to deprive certain humans of their basic needs.
