Amateur hour.

I’ll never understand where the term “blowing hot air up my ass” as if it was a pleasurable thing came from. I find it to be foul, but turning my bidet blower down to the coolest breeze is refreshing AF.

If you haven’t experienced enshitification with a company, you just haven’t quite waited long enough.

In English? Do you have an accent? Dragon is one of the better ones and it seems with many accents it does remarkably well. Google seems to have one of the worst I’ve come across.
- Comment on The case against conversational interfaces « julian.digital 2 days ago:
Does feel like that, I agree, but if you spoke to someone who randomly completely misunderstood 8 out of every 100 words you said and had next to zero dead reckoning ability to figure out what that missing word was, I think you’d feel pretty frustrated.
- Comment on Wanted to share a simple phone stand I designed in these trying times 2 days ago:
Mostly agree but sometimes power isn’t available where you want the stand. Also, this is a pretty keen design - might be worth modifying with a simple carve out on the back to pop in a Qi charger.

- Comment on Not just crumbs in the CPU socket: Over 100 AMD 9800X3D chips are now reported to have gone pop and the most by far have died in ASRock motherboards 2 days ago:
Yes sir, it is indeed a known issue with these boards, however you are going to need to send yours in for us to test for the simple fact that you genuinely sound like the kind of person that would have crumbs in their socket.

In my own real world usage I estimate a comprehension rate of about 92% with voice agents. I’m no linguist, but I’d guess that you’d need to achieve at least 98% comprehension to not feel like a conversation is frustrating. I’m also trying instantly irritated if my computer is delayed and nothing happens when I click on something, or if I go to use someone else’s computer and they have double-clicking enabled for some reason (why?!) so my tolerance is probably on the low end.
Anyway, I thought this was an insightful read and the key to me is that the bar is pretty high now for Man-machine interfaces, so any implementation of newer tech needs to be both thoughtful and bug-free as possible in this realm.

So does pc hardware but Linux can breathe new life into even an old PC since the bloat does grow at the same rate as the hardware unlike other OSes

- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 4 days ago:
Agree. The installation isn’t a barrier. Basic OS navigation probably isn’t either anymore. Its still having to use alternative software and work arounds that I think is the frustrating part for the average user attempting to switch. Also, it’s that they can’t use Linux at work in many cases and it’s uncomfortable to switch environments on a daily basis from home computing to workplace computing. You’d think with nonsense like the crowds trike crash more businesses would force the switch, but unfortunately I don’t get the sense that is happening.

Deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me clubbing seals and installing windows.

Very nice. I get the sense that this probably looks way cooler than the photos let on. It might be worth trying to get some cleaner photos of the final product.

Hrrmm. Does it still print? Personally I’d go with hope it kind of burns off over time with normal use. Others may disagree…
- Comment on Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes 5 days ago:
Gonna be a pity not having 32 bands of eq on that puppy though… Also when a new version of the speaker comes out you probably won’t even find out about it for like a month since you won’t be getting a push notification about it while you’re driving.

- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 6 days ago:
How do you define better? More photrealistic? I’d wager kids could learn as much if not more from your own hand-drawn chicken scratch that has a greater emphasis and less distractions on the points you want to convey. They might relate to the lack of conventional quality that they themselves aren’t able to achieve as well. There is an incredible vapidness to AI art. Also it absolutely blows at trying to make anything diagrammatic for teaching. I’ve tried to use it to convey scientic topics that I’d normally use grant funds (back in the day when there were grants) to hire artists to do, and it was an exercise in purified frustration.

With big asses being one of them. Obesity and it’s complications are getting out of control. I’m in favor of free glp-1 clinics and then free antidote clinics for whatever terrible blight the free glp-1 clinics unleash upon us in 5-10 years.

Say what you will about the soulessnes of AI imagery (I find it very dissapointing), but this new technology is going to take our jobs argument is incredibly tired boomer-speak that shows a lack of understanding of history and a lack of imagination.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 6 days ago:
Lol. Sure. Data loss always sucks so good is important, and I’m prone to loss and theft and don’t have much money so cheap is important. Fast has a low bar for me after dealing with the 10 microcenter drives I bought. Just needs to be a bit faster than those at least.

- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
Sure that’s great, but read the room. It’s like advocating for gun legislation in the US, it can only go so far realistically. The vast majority of US cities are built around automotive infrastructure and the culture is very much anti-public transport. That requires heavy government level buy in. Car automation can be driven primarily by industry. One can happen in a major way in a few years, the other will take decades if it happens at all. Personally I’m all for it, but it’s such a different discussion that it just comes across as distracting when talking about very real delays in car automation and it’s not a valid criticism of moving forward and promoting decreased barriers to fully automated vehicle infrastructure.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
In my country at least (US) that’s just not going to happen.
- Comment on Vivaldi, now with added VPN 1 week ago:
Glad you beat me to the post. I just signed on to bitch about this. Incredibly disappointed Vivaldi did this. Proton and it’s leadership are clearly no longer oriented with true privacy. Even if I didn’t despise Proton, most of us that care about this sort of thing already have VPN accounts and don’t want this bloat injected into our browser. This feels like Vivaldi finally jumping the shark to me. Each version feels more and more bloated.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 1 week ago:
I’ll bite. I bought a bunch of these and I use them regularly and I’m getting frustrated with the wait times. Seeing this post makes me feel like I’ve got the worst of the worst which is motivating me to consider opening my wallet and moving on. Anyone have recommendations for a cheap, reliable usb drive I can buy in bulk (like 5 to start) in the 64-128gb ballpark that might not break records, but isn’t embarrassingly slow? I’m really partial to the double sided drives that have a USB c option as well, but those are still a little hard to find while meeting the other requirements I’ve listed.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
No shit. The bar is low. Humans suck at driving. People love to throw FUD at automated driving, and it’s far from perfect, but the more we delay adoption the more lives are lost. Anti-automation on the roads is up there with anti-vaccine mentality in my mind. Fear and the incorrect assumption that “I’m not the problem, I’m a really good driver,” mentality will inevitably delay automation unnecessarily for years.
