- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Already Knows Your Life. Now He Wants His AI to Run It 5 days ago:
ONLY if I’m in total control of it. I barely trust Alexa to turn off my lights. Any AI I invite into my house will live on my own hardware.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
I fucking hate Microsoft search. Microsoft controls the OS, they control the file system, why the fuck do they suck so bad at file search?
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 1 week ago:
Not when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.
- Comment on Even in space it's possible to get hit by a self-driving Tesla. 1 week ago:
I would argue that one is driving much better than one in self-driving mode, because it can remain on course.

Is it Lemmy.zip that forces the ridiculous disclaimer at the bottom of these posts?
- Comment on Cold Callers phoning during work hours and then not accepting your at work and can't spend 30 mins listening to their script. 1 month ago:
They don’t necessarily want sales, they want call numbers. These poor dipshits sit next to a phone with an auto-dialer and just talk to whoever is on the line. They probably get paid by the number of calls they can make in an hour.

- Comment on Large Language Models Are More Persuasive Than Incentivized Human Persuaders 1 month ago:
Of course. The vast majority of people don’t think about GIGO, and have been conditioned to think that a computer will always give you the right answer.
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 1 month ago:
If you don’t dabble in Switch modding or anything like that, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about…
I shouldn’t be worried that Nintendo can remotely brick my $500 console. For any reason. Or accidentally.

How does this work? Can I train it on someone else’s data to steal their WiFi password?

- Comment on Why Homeowners Choose Heat Batteries Over Heat Pumps; Those wanting a green replacement for boilers often consider heat pumps — but heat batteries are another carbon-free option that also store energy 2 months ago:
Is this really “green” though? Heat pumps are efficient because they’re transferring some heat energy from one place to another. Heat pumps don’t generate all the heat internally. This just seems like saving money by using more electricity when it’s cheaper

Maybe we should have an AI that generates proper acronyms.
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 3 months ago:
We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
- Comment on ‘Bear with me,’ Trump says as both farmers and consumers brace for tariff effects 3 months ago:
Yeah, it’s sarcasm. One reason there wasn’t a depression during COVID was the stimulus checks that went straight to consumers. Turns out that when you give money to people that need it, they inject it directly into the economy by buying stuff they need. There’s nothing a corporation can do that’s as effective as that.
- Comment on ‘Bear with me,’ Trump says as both farmers and consumers brace for tariff effects 3 months ago:
How about we give ALL the money to corporations to expand employment, with no checks or penalties?

How long until US tariffs are tied to Russian sanctions?
- Comment on Is there any handbooks for warning lights on cars/machinery 4 months ago:
Like a “best practices” type thing? In the US, Federal Regulations cover lighting requirements on passenger car and commercial trucks. FMVSS 108. If your machinery is ever driven on the road they most likely have lights according to this regulation.
www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/…/section-571.108
There should be a section near the top that covers “incorporated by reference”, where they list all the industry standards referenced. A lot of those are available on archive.org. That’s probably as close to a “best practices” as you’re going to find.
Search by images for FMVSS 108 and you’ll find various diagrams showing light location requirements.
NTEA publishes some information about lighting, but I don’t know if you have to be a member to get it.
If you’re talking about flashing beacons, that’s not covered federally, and each state usually just says what color the flashers can or can’t be (blue reserved for police, red for emergency vehicles, green for snow plows, etc.)
If you have a more specific question, I might be able to answer.
