- Comment on Is history about to repeat itself? 2 days ago:
Late last week I advised my younger coworkers that if we got freezing rain as predicted they needed to just stay home and that they would likely be stuck there for a couple of days. No one here knows how to drive on ice but think their lifted 4x4 truck with bald all weather tires will give them the edge they need. The cities, parishes, and state don’t have the resources to deal with it either.
One of them (from Alaska) decided to take a 2.5 hour trip to buy a jetski after work on Friday. They’re almost home after leaving Saturday morning to get home.

I don’t really know what an ‘ai browser’ is and at this point I feel like i really need to ask. What makes a browser “AI”?
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 month ago:
My bet is microtransactions and a lot of them not being great lol games. You don’t need a 5090 to play a AAA game unless you’re maxing out the visuals.

I’m in my mid-forties and most of my co-workers are in their early 20s. It can be weird but I don’t dislike it.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 month ago:
Not trying to defend Tesla on this because fuck Musk and everything he touches but are there stats on how, when, and why the human took over? Did they just not take over? Did they take over to late? Did they take over and make the situation worse?

And you know I’m not going to use headphones. If I get to listen to it, everyone else has to listen to it.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 month ago:
How does playing videos faster than x1 affect creators i actually want to watch? The Spiffing Brit did a thing a while ago about doubling their view time (and thus engagement) by having people watch the videos at 1/2 speed. If that was true it makes sense that watching it at 2x would only count as a half watch even if you watched all of it.

What about baseball? The pitcher and catcher’s goal is throw the ball back and forth 18 times. Everyone else is just there incase they can’t manage that.

You have to add “ball” so that we know it is a game played with a ball.

Same here. There is a learning curve because, while it does all the same things, sometimes it happens in a slightly different way and the UX is different.

…LTT will try to build one…
Jay already tried. It was bigger, didn’t have the custom OS, and cost $1700. He could have done better except he was part limited to what rhe Microcenter he was at had on hand. Doing a bunch or research and getting different parts would probably bring down the price.

I usually eat lunch at my desk and think about just leaving. The only problem is that there would be no impact because I only kind of have a set schedule so no one would question it or really care.

The DMV near me was horrid (three or four hour waits just to be told I’m missing a random, but critical, document and will have to try again) until they started doing appointments. Now I talk to a person within minutes of my appointment time. No haste, no fuss, in and out. 11/10 - Will DMV again.
