- Comment on The only way things can get better is by acknowledging that things aren't as good as they could be 1 week ago:
I hate the phrase “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. There are so many things that work like shit that could easily be better without ruining anything.

“Fuck you”
Un-stores your supernova
- Comment on Everyone has already died and has died multiple times 2 weeks ago:
When you sleep you could be half dead in any sense you want except for technical. You are technically alive when you sleep.
- Comment on Are the people who read terms and conditions the same people who pre-heat their ovens? 🤔 2 weeks ago:
Reading terms and conditions is much more time consuming than preheating.
- Comment on No one has predicted the end of the world in a while. 2 weeks ago:
That’s assuming society collapses before nuclear war.
- Comment on No one has predicted the end of the world in a while. 2 weeks ago:
The concentration of thinking the world is gonna end has diffused evenly across the population now.

Respectable opinion. Have my upvote.

If i had a dime for every time someone told me to think of the children. This has more potential to harm children than make them safer imo.
- Comment on A large language model trained off of Lemmy would be funny 4 weeks ago:
No like only based on lemmy. And it would be funny.
- Comment on why did the eclipse not darken proportionally? 5 weeks ago:
This article actually talks about how your eyes adjust during an eclipse, which is a bit different from what i was talking about, but also likely just as important.
- Comment on why did the eclipse not darken proportionally? 5 weeks ago:
I regret to inform you that the moon is not an IR filter.
- Comment on why did the eclipse not darken proportionally? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of this law. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
- Comment on why did the eclipse not darken proportionally? 5 weeks ago:
This is not it, because if you look at the range of what is in shadow, it is significantly larger than the portion of the sky that you can see. If you could see that far, people in more of a 50% zone would be able to see the sky darken significantly in one direction and be bright in another. What we saw instead was the entire sky darkening evenly.
The real answer lies mostly in our logarithmic perception of light, meaning that we’re much more sensitive to the absolute change in amount of light when there’s less light than when there’s a lot. So the difference between 100% bright and 50% bright is a lot smaller to us than 50% bright and 0% bright.

Yes. We don’t care. That association is stupid.
- Comment on I wonder if the aliens are as amused / shocked by what goes on in Florida as we are 2 months ago:
I wonder if the aliens don’t come here because we’re just like a bunch of weird hillbillies in the woods with shotguns.

- Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for? 2 months ago:
Hold on a second, how come every time i look for TPUs i get a bunch of not-for-sale nvidia and Google cards, but this just exists out there and i never heard of it?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I mean if you want to go that route, we could just say that every speaker, light source, motor, etc is 100% efficient at generating heat because all of its energy output will eventually become heat.

I used to have both shifts at once activate an autoclicker ahk script.
- Comment on How can you drive off a gas station with the hose still connected? 3 months ago:
Or you just have adhd. I have a habit of doing 3 checks before driving off so this doesn’t happen to me. One as i get into the car, one look in my side mirror, and one look at the pump to make sure the handle is back in its place, and I’ve almost driven off without putting it back still.
One moment you’re pumping gas, the next you’re already switched into gear, whatever happened between those two is anyone’s guess.
- Comment on With the creation and use of ChatGPT and Bard, I bet ELI5 community and subreddit have had less posts, because people can just ask them instead. 4 months ago:
I don’t get why people completely disregard their usefulness because of that. Just don’t trust anything they say until you verify it. It’s still useful for exploration or to get enough of a grasp of something that you can figure it out on your own.
- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 6 months ago:
You’d also be smart enough to work around it. You’d be able to strategically convince the right people to implement it, and convince enough people to support it for it to go through, then the remaining detractors are either propagandized into liking it (like how business and governments do things now, but much better), or they remain in a small minority who will never change their minds, but aren’t important because nobody else cares.
Or you could use your superintelligence to make make an ai that makes people okay with it in the same way the hypothetical earworm virus does youtu.be/-JlxuQ7tPgQ?si=yCSfctxpmaOdbnTd
Or there’s some way that none of us could possibly come up with that would simultaneously work perfectly and is completely ethical. There’s no way to say, but saying it definitely won’t ever work i think is just due to a lack of imagination in this case.

Alright, become infinitely intelligent, create some ai to take over the world, and using your superintelligence, solve the alignment problem and make everything perfect for everyone.

- Comment on FTC files “the big one,” a lawsuit alleging Amazon illegally maintains monopoly 7 months ago:
I’m all for Amazon getting sued but… the big one? Wasn’t there another “big one” a week or two ago? And who called it that? Feels like the reporters just made that part up.
