The AI ecosystem is flooded, we need a good bubble pop to slow down the massive waste of resources that our current info-remix-based-on-what-you-will-likely-react-positively-to shit-tier AI represents.
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 weeks ago:
People don’t clean their phones? I clean mine every time I clean my glasses. If the glasses are dirty, it’s a safe bet the phone could use a rub down with some isopropyl on a Kimwipe.
Unrelated, if you wear glasses and haven’t used Kimwipes to clean them you are missing out. Soap and water, isopropyl on Kimwipe, dry Kimwipe.

Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

- Comment on The Beamscope TV Magnifier - one of the most worthless game accessories of the 1980s. 1 month ago:
I had one for my Game Gear that added more than few inches to the handheld’s depth, but did a decent job of semi-rectilinearly magnifying the screen. The backlight probably helped, since it wasn’t relying on light bounding in through the lens and then back out.
- Comment on Lexar unveils the world's first SD cards made of 316 stainless steel 2 months ago:
It’s hard to believe that it would have taken 25 years for the many SD card builders out there to figure out that a heat spreader could solve the degradation problems.
- Comment on Lexar unveils the world's first SD cards made of 316 stainless steel 2 months ago:
I feel like dealing with SD cards’ inevitable demise is more important than armoring them. What good is a stainless SD card that no longer functions after 2 years of use?

- Comment on obesity 3 months ago:
Human beings are subject to the laws of physics. If you eat more calories than you consume and do not otherwise eliminate from the body, they will still be in the body. The body stores them as fat. This is simply the mechanics of biology. If it weren’t, things like Ozempic would not spur massive weight loss.
We have more obese people now than have ever existed. Countries that do not have US/Mexico levels of easy access to heavily processed, calorie-dense foods do not have obesity problems like we have. Clearly, calling people names and making them feel bad is not a good way to get them to adopt healthier habits. However, there are plain, uncomplicated things that people can do to lose weight that will work, but they will ONLY work if the people want to change, are honest with themselves and truly stick to the changes they need to make.
Losing weight is absolutely within reach of 99% of obese people, but comments like this reinforce the absolutely incorrect notion that getting healthy is some big mystery that’s for a different class of people to solve. It’s defeatist and makes it seem like a problem that a person can’t solve on their own, which is straight up wrong.
The plain, uncomplicated things you can do? Find out how many calories a body of the weight you want to weigh uses in a day. Limit yourself to those calories. Given time, you will be that weight if and only if you stick to the plan. It may shock some people how many calories they actually consume in a day, especially if they drink soda or juice with any regularity.

Standardized interchangeable batteries would be neat. Pull into a battery station, a machine swaps out your packs and you’re on your way faster than a fill-up.

You’re so close, now just give me a link to the data that you are citing.
And then it will still be an annoying, stupid way to advertise.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Intel Needs to Say Something: Oxidation Claims, New Microcode, & Benchmark Challenges 3 months ago:
Bruh I just want you to supply the data you claim to be citing. It’s super easy and standard practice. It is not my job to research the point I think you are making.
Or, you could simply say you don’t have data to back up what you said. Either works and neither is as embarrassing as coming back to this well over and over while entirely missing that I just want to see your data.

Hey, look who it is, the person who keeps replying without linking the mountains of data they’re referencing.

They can keep the problem from starting, but any processors that are already impacted need to be RMA’d

So you keep saying.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Intel Needs to Say Something: Oxidation Claims, New Microcode, & Benchmark Challenges 3 months ago:
You said the data shows it yet showed no data. You have explained your opinion and expect the reader to mistake is as fact.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Intel Needs to Say Something: Oxidation Claims, New Microcode, & Benchmark Challenges 3 months ago:
I think that if you asked most people if they want advertising that centers around grown adults making idiot faces at the content they created themselves they would say no.

It’s not seeing a face in a thumbnail that bothers me. It’s when the expression on the face is one of absolutely fake surprise and shock that I take issue.

They can’t live in soil that’s got what they need because the nutrients burn the plants’ roots. They got so specialized for nutrient-poor bogs that they can’t live anywhere else.

- Comment on Powerful X-class solar flare slams Earth, triggering radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean 7 months ago:
The Carrington event was a big one. It is estimated to have been an X40 flare. This article is about an X1.1 flare. Telegraph poles caught fire. The auroras were so bright people woke up and started making breakfast even though it was the middle of the night. They were visible as far south as central Mexico! If we got hit by a Carrington scale flare today we would be repairing the power grid for the next half century.
