- Comment on ICE Agents Arrest Workers From Mexican Restaurant Where They Just Ate 1 day ago:
There is definitely worse they could do, but it’d definitely be a crime and could impact the restaurant, so you’d probably want the owner onboard at least.
- Comment on ICE Agents Arrest Workers From Mexican Restaurant Where They Just Ate 1 day ago:
Because you can spit in the food or worse?

Yes, they’d become a thin client.
The concept isn’t new and happens in the corporate world connecting to the corporste servers, but he wants that to become the norm.
A chrome book is somewhere between the middle of a regular computer, and what Bezos wants.

I think that graphic is missing 2 extra lines.
You be the jury.

You’ve never been looking for an answer to something and it’s on an old reddit post?

- Comment on US Senator proposes bill permitting AI data centers to bypass federal power rules via off-grid energy infrastructure development 5 days ago:
I know the grid in Texas is (was?) separated from the main national grid, and I guess, maybe something like this could eventually lead to a state wide grid that’s disconnected from the main grid, and maybe that’s very much the long term intention and a real problem.
If a data center wants to build their own offgrid power system though I don’t see the harm in that? In the future they might very well be building SMR’s to power only their facility.
I think it should all still be overseen by whatever existing regulators there are and kept to the same standards though.
- Comment on Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error 5 days ago:
The idea and motive and intention is great. The outcome is always evil.
- Comment on Police Unmask Millions of Surveillance Targets Because of Flock Redaction Error 5 days ago:
I like to think if I was in a position to be working with data like that, that I could ‘accidentally’ forget to redact it one time and trigger a leak like this.
They publicly released that data at that point though, fuck Flock for trying to suppress it.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 1 week ago:
I asked a question like 8 years ago, and people are still replying with new answers either due to new APIs or tooling, and for some reason just alternative ways that already existed for years.

Yes that can be done.

Hopefully they’re just setting that up and in the meantime did this.

I’m really loving this new Microslop name.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
Also worth adding…
If the owners do have a way to prevent something, and that was ever compromised (e.g arrested by FBI) and someone was able to just prevent all bets, absolutely nothing is stopping someone else from copying the contracts, removing that ability, and re uploading it.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
I’ll make a bet on how many bets you get!
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
It probably can’t be stopped either at this point.
Assuming it was illegal, they could arrest the developers because they are earning money on it, but arresting them and taking the website down won’t stop people from using it as it’s smart contract based on a blockchain.
So now you gotta go after the individuals using it, who could annonymize their funds through something like Tornado Cash, making it pretty hard to stop.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
Gambling on something like this is definitely risky, but it’s not as risky if you’re using it to bet on sometimes more defined like sports.
If someone is going to rig the game, then it’s now rigged for all people better on that game at all locations, not just here.
And at a decentralized platform like this, that should ultimately be safer than the alternatives.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 2 weeks ago:
You can’t really stop it when you make a decentralized platform like that.
It’s like saying we made cash and we knew people would fund terrorism with it but oh well.
A decentralized betting platform has benefits. It also has detriments.
Any website involved is really just a front end. It’s on the blockchain and can be used regardless of website, but the website definitely makes it easier to use.

sorry about the delay, apparently I’m only getting notified of new messages 10 hours later.

Valve’s reaction to this news in relation to Steam Machine: Fuck.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
The PS5 security keys got leaked, until they make a new hardware revision, every existing ps5 (and maybe pro) just became fully open.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
The PS5 keys got leaked, it’s going to be a full fledge PC once the modders get to work. Might be the cheapest way to get ram now hah.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 2 weeks ago:
That is hilarious. At that point if I was annoyed enough, I’d do something like hang a picture in the house taking a dig at Wikipedia and then the interview could mention that and now it could be in the article about the house taking a dig at them.
- Comment on Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how that would go in court, I wonder if it’s been tried before? I could see an argument that if that was the intention and how they made money maybe it wouldn’t be fair use.

May I introduce you to Fair Use Doctrine.
- Comment on Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan 3 weeks ago:
I wasn’t going to log in to verify either lol.
Even if that’s the case, it will come down to fair use policy which will allow quite a lot.
If the specific instance of sharing isn’t fair use and Twitter allows it, then sue them, someone will.
- Comment on Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan 3 weeks ago:
new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.
This specific part is kinda stupid.
Nothing was ever preventing anyone from modifying an artists work. Its incredibly common.
No one needs consent to modify anything.
To distrubute something that isn’t yours that doesn’t fall under fair use, absolutely. But modifying without consent is a joke.
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 3 weeks ago:
Some people have relationships like that with their family Dr, I never have though.
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 3 weeks ago:
I think its worth pointing out that needing a vaccine is different than getting and benefiting from a vaccine.
Seasonal Flu and Covid vaccines are still beneficial, so while you don’t need any, if there is a way to beat the phobia, you can still benefit.
It’s not likely that anyone is going to offer you something like Xanax for a yearly flu shot, but maybe your Dr would knowing your circumstances, and that could be a slow process to maybe beating it by getting some successful years behind you using that method?
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had some really bad experiences in the past as well including passing out and nausea. Luckily at least for smaller needles like vaccines/dental work I no longer suffer from that. I still lay down if blood is being drawn.
It took a long time, but I think the dentist giving me some sedatives for the needles helped me get more comfortable with it since I knew they helped, and eventually, I was able to try without and it was hard but it did help, and it just got easier from there.
It still sucks, but it’s manageable now.
If you struggle at the dentist like I did, maybe that’s an option if you need work done.
