It’s a very simple film without much depth to be honest. Memoir of a snail was far better.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 6 days ago:
Who said that? That’s not the limiting factor. Also, smartwatches have crappy processors.
Supposedly, what’s hard is making a phone with good performance and battery life that’s also small.

Well then maybe you should read the comment you replied to again? They did not talk about how much data the cable would need. They even hypothesized that the cable format might even change. The meme talks about defining hd and they commented that 8k would be enough. Human eyes will not magically get more resolving so yeah, your analogy is still bad.
I do disagree on the Hz though. It would indeed be nice if we got 8k@360hz at some point in the future but that’s not resolution so I’ll let it slide.

You think that’s a clever analogy but it’s not even close.

K. Keep using a service you hate then, I guess.

Dude, if you dislike it that much you could just like… not use it?

Afaik, business units are individual. Their products don’t finance each other.
- Comment on Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months 4 weeks ago:
If you see 0 ads and don’t pay anyone, I’m not sure how the service could be sustainable. I’m also against ads but only if you’re actually paying. That’s why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.

The moon also doesn’t emit it’s own light. It would take longer for the moon to “disappear” than it would for the sun but it wouldn’t be the whole night.

How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?
- Comment on AND THEY DIDN'T STOP EATING 3 months ago:
It won’t. That’s simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.

That would’ve generated fewer clicks. Sensationalism is always more profitable.

You can’t “dmca” the fork that was created while it was still open source. They could only prevent it from getting future updates (directly from them).

The dude hires people for programming positions and a lot of people use their GitHub as a portfolio, basically. He was saying that if you don’t have that, you’re basically not even considered for the job.
In summary, this specific case was about it being basically a requirement to program 24/7. Which is pretty toxic.

Then you’re lacking context and have been arguing without understanding what I was referring to.
Luke at LTT works in the development side of the company (floatplane for example) and the “side projects” are public repos in github/gitlab/etc.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 5 months ago:
“easily”? Please, name one device that has UWB and doesn’t include bluetooth.
Besides, if this is included in 6.0 and assuming it does cost much more per chip, where’s the harm in having a better feature set? This seems like an incredibly pointless discussion.

But it’s still sitting in front of a computer programming. I do that but not that often. I’m already programming 8-9 hours a day. My interests go way beyond that.

Well yeah, it hasn’t beem released yet. Is this your idea of a joke?

Not all phones have UWB. On the other hand, they do have Bluetooth.

Having hobbies outside of your profession does not mean you’re a “drone”. Quite the opposite.

I think we misunderstood each other. I was also referring to the company. Well, both actually.

None of the things you mentioned justify having a toxic hiring policy/work culture.

Even Luke, who I always agreed with the most and seemed the most level-headed has talked about their hiring process and said that, if you don’t have personal projects, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be considered for a position in LTT.
Supposedly it’s because that shows a “lack of passion”. Personally, I find that rather toxic. Like, dude, I do this for work and I also have a life. I literally do not have enough time to exercise, take care of my loved ones and also maintain personal projects.

Not really, no. Sources of infornation gain a reputation as time goes on. So, even though you should still check with multiple sources, you can sort of know if a certain bit of information is likely to be correct or not.
On the other hand, LLM’s will quote different sources and sometimes it will only provide them if you ask it to. Even then it sometimes hallucinates the sources so there’s that.

And even if it’s showing the correct number, you can’t be sure how trustworthy the source is.
