Good, fuck the scalper companies. This is how a free market works; memory is a commodity 🤷

This is the real winner. Changing culture from the outside is way harder than on the inside, let alone collecting evidence of crimes committed by other gang members.
- Comment on Newer AI Coding Assistants Are Failing in Insidious Ways 1 week ago:
That’s because OpenAI is in panic mode. They’re now spending their resources on making the LLM cheaper to operate and capable of injecting paid results.

Look into mutual insurance. You actually get back money for the payouts they didn’t have to do that year. Northwestern, Amica, USAA, etc.
- Comment on How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like tokens or cards. I like open play, just pay like $20 for all day access. I’m fortunate to have places like that around. The pay to play model penalizes you for being bad at or new to an arcade title or pinball machine, which mega blows and discourages people from trying out random games they might lose quickly at.

I bet we would start to see chinese adapters showing up on the market with DisplayPort to HDMI2.1 though.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 5 weeks ago:
It’s $1.2M to gain majority share on the HDMI board, but it sure would be nice if someone gave $1.2M to one of the engineers with access to that cryptographic DRM keys for the binary to “apparently get hacked” and have the keys magically appear online.

- Comment on Scientists Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Sway Elections 5 weeks ago:
Well my approach is:
- Mark off every candidate who did not bother to provide a statement
- Mark off every candidate with no listed volunteering experience in the little section for it
- Mark off every candidate whose statement claims they can do things their office is not able to actually do
- Mark off every candidate with a platform that doesn’t claim to be aiming for any kind of change or improvement in particular. (I don’t support chair warmers.)
- Mark off every candidate whose email is a personal one listed as @yahoo.com or something else similarly unprofessional
- Mark off any candidate supporting the party that supported a coup attempt on 2021
After this quick pass, which only takes a couple of minutes, I’m typically only left with two or three offices with more than one remaining choice to compare. I then read their platform and pick the candidate with the platform goal that seems most relevant to my or my community’s interest.

I did some work with the JJ Abrams production company. It was…mediocre.
- Comment on Scientists Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Sway Elections 1 month ago:
If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.
Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most “news” media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

- Comment on Have LLMs killed all future programming languages? 1 month ago:
Language choice for a solution does not have anything to do with LLM capabilities. For someone’s hobby project, maybe. Engineering departments do not work this way. Just because LLMs can write Java better than some other languages doesn’t mean the next big game engine will be in Java.

Post it to neither, so something more enriching with your time
- Comment on Have LLMs killed all future programming languages? 1 month ago:
The LLM works via language. It’s…in the name. If a programming language that is more understandeable for a particular domain comes out, then LLMs will be useful for it just like humans will further appreciate it. Some languages just seriously blow for certain domains. Keep iterating. If a lnaguage is hard for people to use, it’s especially hard for an LLM to use.

- Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer. 1 month ago:
I don’t see anything political anywhere these days. Whenever I very rarely do, I just block the user or community in Boost. Similarly for regular feeds like my phone’s builtin Google News, I just started marking them as “Don’t Show Content From [Source]”.
If enough people do this, perhaps publishers will learn that spamming people with misleading ragebait is a losing strategy. Probably not, though.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Money is a transferrable form of debt, and debt is emotion. You do something for someone or give someone something. They are then “indebted” to you. Or the reverse - you’ve been issued a fine, meaning some of the “debt” others owed to you for something valuable is now void because you did interpreted negatively.
The physical money symbolizes the feeling of indebtedness, and standard currencies allow people to recognize one anothers’ debts as something commonly valuable and transferrable for symbolizing new debts.
It sounds kind of like karma, but because money is just symbolic for debt and not actually the real manifestation of the emotions associated with the causes of the indebtedness, having a lot of money, or vice-versa, doesn’t translate to a karmic judgment of a person. Someone can trick their way into making others feel indebted to them, at least at the point in time of the emotion to money exchange. Or, they can literally steal the “debt markers” that others accrued. Or, one can decide that one kind of debt is not worth as much as another kind of debt - foreign exchange rates, emoloyment wages, etc mediate this mostly in the sense that human time is not valued identically depending on where a person lives or who they are.
And you can be “wealthy” without money, as long as enough people feel indebted to you. The money is just for easy debt accounting and transfer.

- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 month ago:
I don’t, because I find that as soon as I do, the game feels permanently pointless. It’s like grinding to get some random chance item, and then someone gives you a magic menu enabling you to just put any items you want in your inventory whenever you want. Items mentally become zero value. And then any game mechanics built around scarcity and the intended emotional impact of that scarcity become permanently meaningless too.
It’s pulling back the curtain. You can’t unsee what’s going on back there. Any further interaction with the game just leaves me feeling “this is just a video game, the rules are pointless and with that menu I can get it to do whatever”. Even partial cheats, like infinite ammo with no reloading needed, break the illusion for me permanently and leave further gameplay even without cheats feeling unsatisfying and pointless.
For me, it’s rare that a game can survive its mechanics or overall gameplay loop being destroyed by cheats when those are what make games…games. You’re left with either a creative mode sandbox, or a movie, neither of which I care for in a video game format.

These are the little fuckwits that pretend waiting on a phone call back from someone counts as working time. Their “work” would consist of the company paying for their meals and outings to go play golf woth potential clients.
Oh, you want me to go play golf with this guy using the company card and then go for dinner and drinks? Do some soft sales, just having regular conversation? Sure, I’ll take that “work”. Man, it’s tough. Nobody works 80 hour weeks like me.
