They manufacture a significant portion of the transport hardware that makes up the backbone of the internet. They also just acquired Infinera who had another sizable chunk of that market.
- Comment on Investors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one 1 day ago:
Too much work. Let’s just make em a foot shorter and call it a day.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 1 week ago:
The comfortable will never rebel. No one is going to give you those things and we can’t build them without dismantling the current system. You’re going to have to get supremely uncomfortable in order to give others the possibility of having those things at some indeterminate time in the future or face a dystopian future so bleak that it will make The Hunger Games seem like a fun vacation. Either way, comfort is rapidly fading from the picture.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
How is a school going to regulate what kids do outside of school property? They could ban cell phones on campus but that’s not going to change what happens after hours.
- Comment on UN Expert Calls for 'Defossilization' of World Economy, Criminal Penalties for Big Oil Climate Disinformation 1 week ago:
What many people will take away from your comment is that we shouldn’t try because it’s going to be hard. I don’t think that’s the message you want to be sending so perhaps you should rethink your approach.

I mean, after the 360 they had XXXbox sitting right there and they acted like they were too good for it. Prudes.
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 2 weeks ago:
The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I’m not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.

Funny how that kind of thing only works for rich people
- Comment on xAI Data Center Emits Plumes of Pollution, New Video Shows 3 weeks ago:
Why would capitalists give a fuck about any constraint? We’ve conditioned them for a century to believe they can do anything they want with impunity.
- Comment on The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs 4 weeks ago:
LLMs work in some limited use cases with good data to draw from. Most companies, especially large corporations, have shit data. Current AI cannot fix bad data. They will never do what these guys are promising they will do.
- Comment on Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption 5 weeks ago:
You don’t have to have a total lack of self control to be prone to overconsumption. That’s a caricature you have in your mind that’s main function is to make you feel better about your own habits which keeps many from examining their habits in any detail.
- Comment on Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption 5 weeks ago:
No you’re not. Advertising, propaganda, and overconsumption impacts everyone.

Aw man, I hope you packed your umbrella
- Comment on Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions 5 weeks ago:
Come back to what you’ve posted here in two years and read it again. You’re trusting people with data that you really shouldn’t. Perhaps that’s an acceptable risk to you but you should be sure that you can live without the privacy you think you have because that is a really bad bet.
- Comment on Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions 5 weeks ago:
I’m not going to touch the ethical and emotional minefield that is flirting with a chatbot but I will say that those conversations are definitely not private. That whole industry is based on stealing other people’s data. Do not do anything with an LLM that you can’t handle other people finding out about because there’s a very good chance that they will.

Oh interesting. How was the cloud cover?
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 5 weeks ago:
I’m not defending anything except my position that your assertion is incorrect. Brandishing a weapon with the intent to scare someone off is illegal in its own right in every jurisdiction I am familiar with in the US. You are giving bad advice and you need to educate yourself before you give what could be interpreted as legal advice.
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 5 weeks ago:
The specifics of this case are irrelevant. You said multiple times that an armed person has no claim to self defense against an unarmed person and that is demonstrably and obviously untrue. The fact that you’re carrying a weapon doesn’t require you to tolerate unlimited violence by someone without a weapon. That’s crazy.

That’s easy to say when you’re not the one getting punched in the face repeatedly. You never know he far a violent person will go.
- Comment on Don't Look Up 5 weeks ago:
I’m not familiar with that bit of history but I’m guessing from your phrasing this was unsuccessful which reinforces my point a bit haha
- Comment on Don't Look Up 5 weeks ago:
Even aside from that, I see 12 guys in the picture. If we assume this is a stock photo and the actual number was 5 times higher that’s still only 60 people. If a foreign country or terrorist organization was invading you with 60 dudes in parachutes you could almost call the local shooting club and let them handle it. That’s hardly worth the label “invasion”.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 month ago:
I think I like it more than most but not just to hear words out loud. If you have a story about the weather impacting your day that’s much more interesting than just commenting on it in general.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 month ago:
I think it’s more about your expectation from interactions with strangers. I will tolerate a ton of weather talk from my wife but if the guy taking my order at 5 Guys tries the same thing it’s not going to be as well received.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 1 month ago:
Those gnomes are pretty shit at magic then. I’ve yet to encounter a stud finder that works more than 40% of the time which is just enough to keep you using it but not quite enough to be useful.

This is the explanation for why we can’t have nice things
- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 1 month ago:
The kind of person in the position to convert a vehicle from one energy source to another is either competent enough to do any future work themselves, in which case they already have the necessary tools to do said work, or has enough money that the potential difficulty in maintaining the vehicle is not a concern.
- Comment on Over a hundred thousand Dune Awakening players got swallowed by the sandworm | Massively Overpowered 1 month ago:
You presented your opinion and then contrasted it with that of middle school children spending their parents money. If you don’t think that comes off as you saying anyone who disagrees with you has the perspective of a middle schooler then you aren’t a very good communicator.
- Comment on Over a hundred thousand Dune Awakening players got swallowed by the sandworm | Massively Overpowered 1 month ago:
Maybe some people just don’t like grinding for hours and hours to replace stuff they already acquired in a video game. I’m not sure why you have to present your opinion as if it’s the only valid option and everyone who disagrees is an immature child.
