- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 3 days ago:
Technically true. Seagulls like eaay scavenging and absolutely will swarm strip malls if there’s a picnic area or restaurant.
Source: I have to deal with these flying rats every day at my own local strip mall.

If it ran with local model(s), I would have no problem with this.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 3 weeks ago:
It was alright, MK64, but my only real gripe is the handling. When you start your turn in, the kart strafes opposite of the direction you are turning, which makes small adjustments difficult at best.
- Comment on AI taught to analyze Windows crash dumps, released to open source — 'like going from hunting with a stone spear to using a guided missile' 4 weeks ago:
This is more like what I expect to see from AI models - this kind of work, pinpointing problems by doing the number crunching. Now we just have to make sure it doesn’t hallucinate and we’re doing great.
- Comment on ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like they need to curate their training data more. A lot more.

Wow. They’ve come full circle, become the very villains they once fought against.

I’m trying, but OpenOffice has all the hits on search
- Comment on With ‘AI slop’ distorting our reality, the world is sleepwalking into disaster 1 month ago:
AI auto detection is a coin toss at best - and it often hurts real artists/writers when they’re false positive’d, which is far too often.
People didn’t magically forget how to proofread or use Photoshop (or similar tools) when AI generation became popular - the good fakes are just better now. Small “tells” can be fixed in post by anyone that has previously done “photoshopping” work… the kind of people who have already been doing such things before AI generation. AI generation just makes it easier and faster if you know how to use inpainting or img to img.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 month ago:
NAPS2. PDF scanning. Supports every platform. Dead simple for scanning and aggregsting multiple pages into a single pdf with ocr. Also can save as images.

facial recognition scans require a realtime video feed of you turning your head each way… a fake photo is not going to suffice

Every single install I’ve tried of it feels “half finished”. There’s bugs and missing features everywhere… but that’s on just two of the interfaces. I have yet to try them all.
- Comment on Self-Hosting A Cluster On Old Phones 1 month ago:
Getting pmOS to work on an op6t has been an exercise in … patience and not using colorful language.
I have already tried Plasma Mobile and the Purism UIs… which one is really the most feature complete for devices?
- Comment on Gunkroad: The creator-economy service Gumroad decided to open-source its platform at a suspiciously convenient time. (And even “open source” might be stretching it.) 1 month ago:
Alternative to gumroad?
- Comment on Marine Le Pen banned from running for French president after embezzling EU funds 2 months ago:
Well, that’s a given, but leading with why is more genuine than making what appears to be a propaganda piece by only mentioning the political part (far-right leader), which makes it appear that she was banned for being far-right.
- Comment on Marine Le Pen banned from running for French president after embezzling EU funds 2 months ago:
This is the context that’s missing from the headlines of the other thread of this event. She’s not being banned for being far right, but being banned for embezzlement.

- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 months ago:
Stuff I’ve heard on naysays:
“The battery will blow up!!!”
No, it won’t if it’s a solid state battery - solid state batteries barely even notice such a charging rate, their temperature might change by half a degree from this monster charging rate.
“You can’t supply the power because lines”
Modern large commercial buildings already suck down this amount and more.
“The grid overall can’t take 1MW”
So, the 1,000 MW nuclear reactor can’t provide 1MW? How about a reactor station with 4 units cranking 4000 MW? How about we add another 1000 in renewables? How about another 800MW with a single gas turbine? How about adding roof solar and a battery bank below ground for the charging station to supplement the power? We haven’t even touched hydro or geo yet. Making power is not a problem, and we’ll build out the power as we need it.

A relationship is a commitment. Once you have a partner, the two of you work together as one. If you do not maintain this cohesion, it will fall apart. You can’t have an “unrelationship”. That won’t work for long.

- Comment on You guys have to end it 2 months ago:
Stupid is as stupid does. A significant portion of trucking accidents involve the truck driver missing a cue because they were mid gear change.
While it is good to have a person learn to drive stick, it is really hard to get people to learn how to drive if they have zero interest in actually learning how to be a driver, no matter what transmission.
I personally like dual clutch transmissions and daily’ed a car to 175k miles with one, yet I went out of my way to find a manual version of my current car.
- Comment on DeepSeek brings disruption to AI-optimized parallel file systems, releases powerful new open-source Fire-Flyer File System 2 months ago:
TLDR: 3FS prioritizes random reads and does away with a read cache entirely to optimize for performance with random read speed.
It functions in a similar manner to BeeGFS.
The lack of a read cache may be less useful for consumers, as this is hyper optimizing for datacenter-level NAS.
