Fuckin clankers.
- Comment on PROTIP 22 hours ago:
Depends when and where you grew up, probably. We had to pass through metal detectors every day and a concealed weapon would have been pretty dumb.

Can hospitals still sell their debts to third party collection agencies? Those groups seem like exactly the type to garnish McD wages.

- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 1 week ago:
I think the ownership class is thinking of revising “let them eat cake” into “let them eat dirt. We have no need for them.”
In the budding K-Economy, that seems to be the case. The objectively wealthy now make up something like 60% of consumer spending. It seems to be reaching the point that the majority of people can’t make enough money to even be considered vital to the economy.

He’s referring to skilled trades like electrical, plumbing, carpentry etc.

- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 3 weeks ago:
Split fiction was great fun for my partner and I, writing is mid but gameplay is probably the best action adventure coop I’ve played. It has so much variety to offer.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 3 weeks ago:
We’ll have to agree to disagree. To go through your points, spell check not particularly impressive. That was a solved previously without needing the power demands of a small town. Grammer, maybe - but in my experience my “LLM powered” keyboard’s suggestions are still worse than old T9.
I’ve had no luck troubleshooting anything with AI. It’s often trained on old data, tries to instruct you to change settings that don’t exist, or dreams up controls that appear on “similar” hardware. Sure you can infer a solution, maybe, but it’s rarely correct at first response. It’ll happily run you through steps that are inconsequential to fixing a problem.
It might be better than indexed search NOW - but mostly because LLMs wrecked that too. I used to be able to use a couple search operators and get directly to the information I needed - now search is just shifting through slop sites.
And it does all this half assing while using enough power to justify dedicated nuclear reactors. I cant help but feel we’ve regressed on so many fronts.

Hell I’d almost settle for just “make it work”. No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.

Can we get Saturn up to B tier, just for it’s badass rings? Possibly higher after you visit.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 5 weeks ago:
Copilot is love, copilot is life. It’s okay friend - these are copilot times, but I still copilot you.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 5 weeks ago:
Not allegedly, it’s quite true. CRT’s tech approach adds gradients, depth to the colors and softens sharp pixel corners. Any sprite based game will look richer on a CRT, but filters are eh 80% good enough
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 5 weeks ago:
My parents rented a storage unit when my grandma passed because no one had room for her nice furniture. And it is nice furniture very well built - but no one is ever going to have the space. Let it goo.
- Comment on It was a blast 5 weeks ago:
32 will be fine for a long, long time unless something with the RAM situation changes. Especially with manufacturers moving their “mid-tier” machines back to 8 GB, optimization will become mandatory to sell games.
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 1 month ago:
I run fedora on 8GB and find it functional but definitely not comfortable. Anything past a dozen tabs and it starts getting choked up.

Not surprising when a Nintendo costs $500
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 1 month ago:
Using this image as a visual, each of the black squares is a NAND flash memory chip. If you want more storage on the device, it needs more chips on the board.
Density can vary between manufacturers, some 256 might only use one NAND chip, others may need two or more, but going up to 1TB there will generally need at least 4.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 months ago:
Trained dev with a decade of professional experience, humans routinely fail to get me workable specs without hours of back and forth meetings. I’d say a solid 25% of my work day is spent understanding what the stakeholders are asking for and how contort the requirements to fit into the system.
If these humans can’t be explict enough with me, a living thinking human that understands my architecture better than any LLM, what chance does an LLM have?

The controller was absolute garbage! The analog sticks would get snagged where the battery covers splits. Batteries on the front for who knows why.
