- Comment on Outer wilds: at what point should I give up? 3 months ago:
Can’t stand trying to pilot a spaceship on controller myself. Flight Sims were invented on mouse and keyboard, so I’m a little disheartened that Mobius didn’t implement dynamic thrust for keyboards, so that they can stop recommending controllers for what is essentially a space sim game.

No, that’s literally how the laws in most countries work. It turns out men and women have different biology.

If Devs was to be believed, it could totally predict the behavior patterns of that single-celled organism 20 seconds into the future. :rollseyes:
- Comment on Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.” 11 months ago:
I have the data just from car usage alone. It is braindead easy to produce a detailed ROI document proving how much money both the employer and employees are saving from remote work. It’s a lot from both sides, and that’s not including all of the less tangible benefits, like morale, team building, more focused work with less distractions, etc.

It’s not if you follow the money.
- Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board 11 months ago:
The only way to slow down this corporatization of the technology isn’t to completely shun it and demonize it. That just plays right into their hands with an “us vs them” narrative.
No, you have to push for open-sourcing the tech as hard as you can. The few open-source tools that have come out of this AI boom has the large corporations running scared that they aren’t going to be able to make money out of those sectors.
- Comment on Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated 11 months ago:
No SQL, block chain, crypto, metaverse, just to name a few recent examples.
AI is overhyped, but it is, so far, more useful than any of those other examples, though.

- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
People tend to forgot the millions of years of horribly inefficient evolution it took to develop the human brain.
- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
Microsoft is big enough that government would force them to pay up. There is just too much public pressure for that kind of disaster to get waved away.
Also, there are nuclear options that are far safer than water-based reactors. WCRs are literally the worst possible design for a nuclear reactor, and we were stupid enough to choose that over dry material reactors in the 60s.
- Comment on Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths 1 year ago:
Getting on one of those things before you’re ready is almost as bad as suddenly stopping. My wife broke her arm after trying to show my son how it works, and I know co-workers with similar stories, including head injuries.
Immediately took the damn thing back.
