  Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

  It’ll still NEED a power cable, it just won’t COME with one.

  And the fact that Google didn’t pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google’s operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google’s operations. They didn’t even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don’t really care who does or doesn’t believe them.

  Actual clown shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers find solar panels increase city temperatures and wind speeds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure nobody is going to use THIS is bad faith. What could go wrong?

  At the same time, these larger temperature swings result in higher wind speeds and potentially greater pollution.

  The greater pollution they’re talking about is:

  Also, greater pollution is possible due to the higher temperature differential between the ground, rooftop, and sky above that mixes smog, dust, and other pollutants into the air.

  Pollution that already exists, just possibly spread around a little more.

  I also didn’t see anything about their assumptions about solar panel-less roofs. Going to be pretty big differences if they’re assuming the Un-paneled roofs are all painted white, vs black, for instance.

  Okay but “The chaos” wasn’t what made Vampire Survivors so good, and having to control two characters in “double the chaos” just sounds like a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion is only that I’m not going to get attached, guy’s probably not going to be here long. That’s all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon Musk’s greatest personal achievement has been his tireless work and incredible effort toward disproving the myth of Billionaire Exceptionalism.

  “Free Speech Absolutist.”

  How are you gonna murder one joke by explaining it, while trying to murder a second joke?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For my part, I don’t have all of my fingers scanned into the reader (Which is on the power button), so it’s easy to just use a different finger in the event that I want to access my lock screen specifically.

  LOL I CANT BELIEB HOW DUM U ALL R LOL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "disk" just a different spelling of "disc" or are they actually different words?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disk is for things that are more kiki, but disc, with that rounded off c, is for things that are more bouba.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup Says It'll Use Huge Space Mirror to Sell Sunlight During Nighttime⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally the plot of a James Bond villain. The best news is that this shit will never work and it will only serve to evaporate the wealth of some overly-moneyed idiots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wells Fargo employee found dead in cubicle 4 days after she clocked in: ‘She was just lying on her desk’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how I feel about this, really. On the one hand it’s depressing as fuck for this to happen to someone, on so many obvious levels. But on the other hand, I would LOVE a job where I am so sufficient left the fuck alone that it would take 4 days for coworkers to realize I was gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically it’s possible, but it’s neither probable nor likely, and it’s especially not effective. From what I understand, a lot of devs who do try to use something like ChatGPT to write code end up spending as much or more time debugging it, and just generally trying to get it to work, than they would have if they’d just written it themselves. Additionally, you have to know how to code to be able to figure out why it’s not working, and even when all of that is done, it’s almost impossible to get it to integrate with a larger project without just rewriting the whole thing anyway.

  So to answer the question you intend to ask, no, LLMs will not be replacing programmers any time soon. They may serve as a tool of dubious value, but the idea that programmers will be replaced is only taken seriously by by people who manage programmers, and not the programmers themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws: Reviews are coming in⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised to see generally positive reviews given just how entirely Mid the previews all looked.

  Spoken like someone who manages programmers instead of working as one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excretion-related thermodynamics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Excretion does remove thermal energy from the body, but it also removes mass, and as a result your heat to mass ratio doesn’t change in any meaningful way.

  “Keeping it in” would technically make your body temperature slower to change (Up or down) because there is slightly more mass to heat or cool. Excreting would technically make your body temperature slightly more susceptible to change, again because there is less mass to heat or cool. But really, those changes are inconsequential.

  The actual cooling would occur on intake, not excretion. When you drink cold water, your body heat will dissipate into that water until the temperatures match, resulting in a slight reduction in temperature.

  So in summary, excretion itself does nothing to cool you down, even though it’s taking thermal energy away, but the entire cycle of drinking cold water, heating it in the body, and then excreting it would reduce body temperature ever so slightly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your use of Cryptography is probably roughly on the level of “Having a strong password.”

  The application of quantum computers will largely in in BREAKING security. You’re not going to have a quantum-security module in your phone or home computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And when I saw it I had initially thought “Wouldn’t it be funny if someone named their company Nothing and was struggling to push a return to office?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So if they credited you the $0.19 would you feel better? That’s what 9 hours at $15 a month works out to. 19 cents. Are you actually throwing this big a fit over 19 cents? That’s already rounded up by the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ad industry initiative abruptly shuts down after lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like all advertisers should just assume that on Xitter, their ads will show alongside Nazi/Alt-Right/Hateful content. GARM, the project that Elmo just killed, used to inform them when that sort of thing happened. So with the warning system down, Ad companies should revert to a fail-safe state and abandon the platform completely.

  And the rest of us should ABSOLUTELY make a habit of blasting out screenshots of ads next to heinous shit, and ask the company why they support that kind of content.

  Don’t forget the customers of the restaurant also saw the head chef personally farting on all the plates before the food was placed on them. It’s not just the health inspector’s report.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bing has been revamped to prioritize AI search results – whether you like it or not⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird choice. These days I’d bet the absolute best thing Bing, or any other search engine, could do to stand out in the search game would be to explicitly not use AI results. The advertising is so easy you don’t even need AI to write it for you.

  Montage of a few blatantly wrong AI generated answers telling people it’s okay to cook with gasoline in your sauce or that drinking a little bit of bleach is healthy or whatever… then cut to a list of well respected sources that say otherwise. “The internet is already good enough at feeding you wrong answers. Search the way it’s meant to be.”

  This is what happens when someone who says “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” sees what happened with Helldivers 2 and the PSN account disaster.

  If it makes you feel any better, you’re a mutant freak no matter where you go, but some societies will be better at making you feel accepted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Musk's pro-Trump/Vance bender, X users report issues following Kamala Harris' accounts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fantasy of a pioneering life on Mars is an easy one to love, especially if we assume it’s actually well enough established that you have all the excitement of Frontier life and none of the struggle to survive. It’s not gullibility, it’s hope.

  Then we think about it and ask ourselves what worker abuses Musk has perpetrated here on earth, and what would he do when Earthly laws can no longer apply. The more I think about what it would be like in the SpaceX Mars Colony, the more dystopian it gets.
