Is the rest of the world as lobby -able as the US? Guess we’ll find out
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 days ago:
you understand the context, and can implicitly understand the need to drive to the car wash’, but these glorified auto-complete machines will latch on to the “should I walk there” and the small distance quantity. It even seems to parrot words about not wanting to drive after having your car washed. There’s no ‘thinking’ about the whole thought, and apparently no logical linking of two separate ideas
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 days ago:
You’re assuming AI “think” “logically”.
Well, maybe you aren’t, but the AI companies sure hope we do

- Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds 2 weeks ago:
As a supplement to doctors that sounds like a fantastic use of AI. Then it’s an encyclopedia you engage in conversation
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 2 weeks ago:
Same, my 9 (us) does too. But I heard going forward they want to be eSIM only
- Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds 2 weeks ago:
could be a great idea if people could be trusted to correctly interpret things that are not in their scope of expertise. The parallel I’m thinking of is IT, where people will happily and repeatedly call a monitor “the computer”. Imagine telling the AI your heart hurts when it’s actually muscle spasms or indigestion.
The value in medical professionals is not just the raw knowledge but the practice of objective assessment or deduction of symptoms, in a way that I didn’t foresee a public-facing system being able to replicate
- Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too 2 weeks ago:
I really value the camera on my phone, since it is essentially my main camera and I enjoy taking pictures. I might rather lean into graphene-ing this pixel than a fair phone, unfortunately. But probably not purchase a future pixel, since they abandoned the physical SIM slot
- Comment on Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days 5 weeks ago:
I really like swappa for the ability to return the phone to the seller for refund.
In theory eBay also allows this, but since it’s a core feature of the swappa marketplace that it gives me comfort that the phone is listed in good faith and they haven’t misrepresented the phone.
I suggest it to anyone I know looking for a phone

I saw ‘FaaS’ and immediately thought Freedom as a Service, which is exactly the tagline such a service would have

The irony of tolerating intolerant people to exist openly is that it actually erodes tolerance overall

- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 2 months ago:
My predicament, personally, is that my computer is starting to feel slow to me but I’m on AM4 and ddr4. The good jumps in performance are to be had in moving to the newer generations, which means that buying ram cannot be avoided. The suboptimal move is to stay on this legacy platform and be satisfied with marginal gains while investing further into hardware that will become obsolete sooner

- Comment on There are first person shooters and third person shooters, but what about second person shooters? 2 months ago:
That’s a lot of words, and they do pretty well at explaining the nuance, but you missed the opportunity to show off the simplest example of the concept:
Dating simulators
It’s a game format that literally talks directly to you
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 months ago:
Yes, this is what I intended to write but I submitted it hastily.
Its like a catch-22, they can’t write code so they vibecode, but to maintain vibed code you would necessarily need to write code to understand what’s actually happening

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 months ago:
“4k” is supposed to be a term for cinema widescreen resolution, but got taken over because it’s short and marketable because “4k is 4x as many pixels as 1080p”
What makes it worse is that then 1440p becomes 2k because “it’s 2x as many pixels”
The flip flop irks me

- Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch 4 months ago:
I find that chatgpt and claude try to give you one answer and sounds mildly to very certain about themselves without giving references.
Perplexity actually gives reference links for each claim it makes, which I find better because I can check it’s work and fork off and explore further myself at any point along it’s reasoning.
As a definite AI Hater, I find it to be a good middle ground LLM / search engine
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 4 months ago:
An American worker spending 1hr each way commuting to an 8hr+1hr lunch job is spending 2 out of 7 of their free hours in this machine. It’s understandable that the demand for their vehicle to not be an oppressive environment would arise.
But I do agree that not all cars should be packed with these superfluous amenities

- Comment on How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything 4 months ago:
Do you use the *arr apps? Radarr lets you set profiles that can prioritize file size as well as codec. Then the process of acquisition is more automated but still prioritizes your preferences
- Comment on PinePods Release v0.8.0 - "Mobile apps and massive perfomance bumps" 4 months ago:
I like Pocket Casts, I don’t think it’s owned by big tech.
Though I’m not liking their pivot to subscription, I still think it’s a good app
- Comment on Dedicated mobile apps for vibe coding have so far failed to gain traction | TechCrunch 4 months ago:
Is this a common enough occurrence that you’d pay a subscription for an app to do this? I can’t think of many use cases
