- Comment on Russia Has Lost 1.2 Million Troops in Ukraine—More Than Its Entire Pre-War Army 1 day ago:
It’s not meant to be understood. They are not arguing - they’re just saying it. That’s the sequence of words which signals loyalty and promotes the ingroup over the outgroup.
That’s the only thing conservatives ever do.

Read: “Facebook lied to string people along.”

Pressure toward taking swap seriously, now that it can be random-access.
The only thing that needs to be in memory is state.

Ohhh, you mean they stopped tweaking it, but used the wrong word for some reason.

On the knife-edge of being really clever and deeply stupid.

Tipping away from clever.

Which crucial consumer business?
… oh.
- Comment on Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, maybe with some kind of filter so a few people can sound like a whole cast of distinct characters, without necessarily mimicking any particular human being.
… wait.
- Comment on Amazon’s AI ‘Banana Fish’ Dubs Are Hilariously, Inexcusably Bad 2 weeks ago:
Well good news, it’ll probably run locally by next year.
I’d love to be able to watch any show from any language on like a one-minute delay, with the robot faking the original voices. But I’d also like a fully in-character version of Revenge Of The Sith with the infamously bad Chinese subtitles.

This man’s accent absorbs all the Rs that Jonathon Ross can’t say.

That was not the question.

Okay, so, every game on Steam having some generated asset wouldn’t matter?

Okay, so, complex projects having a small part you didn’t make doesn’t matter?
- Comment on UK digital ID plan gets a price tag at last – £1.8B 2 weeks ago:
All to stop children from seeing boobs.
Why even care?

Is there an asset flip disclosure?
- Comment on I dunno 3 weeks ago:
Careful, you’ll summon Smartman Apps (with emojis) to insist mathematics has exactly one perfect unambiguous syntax, where 2*(1+3) is somehow different from 2(1+3), and also reverse Polish notation does-too have parentheses.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds is surprisingly optimistic about vibe coding - except for this one 'horrible' use 4 weeks ago:
Downvote all clickbait.
- Comment on Will quantum be bigger than AI? 4 weeks ago:
No.
It barely exists, and its greatest promises are less than what neural networks can already do. Except to weirdos and monsters who delight in breaking encryption.

Octopodes only live a couple years, and thank god. They would be the menace seen in sailors’ imaginations if they just kept growing and learning.

Octopussen.

- Comment on When Everything Is Fake, What’s the Point of Social Media? 1 month ago:
I mean… I’ve had a lot of genuine interactions with real people which I would not rate highly.
A sort of reddit holodeck would be obviously desirable, sometimes, but any concerns about solipsism or narcissism come far behind the expectation you’d want to run that shit locally. What is the value of disappearing into your own little world if you don’t even control it?

They don’t quite go to Namek, but they did a bit. Like on a scale of one to Bleach it’s gonna be a two.
- Comment on No, Deus Ex Remastered, I simply do not believe you need an RTX 2080 to run at recommended settings 2 months ago:
Surely it just means, that’s what they tested with. The minimum specs sound like they oldest machine they bothered to lay hands on.
Listed specs are not what’s worrisome about this project.

Absolutely loved this manga. There’s a full-page shot of her gleefully holding a guy’s ankle, and it makes me crack up every time. Guess I’ll have to steam this somewhere.
