- Comment on To independently invent the concept of writing in which sounds are encoded into symbols from which an infinite number of words can be assembled, you must be a genius 1 day ago:
And yet we’re all born with an inherent ability ‘to language’.
Like, it’s in the firmware.
- Comment on How the regime in Iran jams Starlink and what people could do 1 day ago:
Good article. Very interesting.
TL;DR: Starlink recievers use methods to make it so they don’t have to be directly positioned at satellites; this in turn leaves them vulnerable to “side lobe jamming” and GPS spoofing. The suggestion is to point them directly and cover them i.e. in a pit or in a cavity of some such so that the jamming / spoofing doesn’t reach it.

- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 1 week ago:
No doubt. But marketing is by design a corporate exercise. Non-profits would need to be convinced to prioritize and pay for messaging over whatever function they were established to serve.
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 1 week ago:
Have you met marketing people? I mean, they’re nice enough, but it’s not exactly a passionate calling.

- Comment on TIL: Parental controls aren't for parents – Beast Hacker 2 weeks ago:
well, and this guy may do that, but I think he’s calling out all the millions of parents who don’t know how to do that. You’re talking about a vast swath of the population that has literally no idea what any of their passwords are. Or what to do when they don’t work.
- Comment on TIL: Parental controls aren't for parents – Beast Hacker 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure it’s crazy difficult to raise a son today anyway, but “if everybody jumped off a bridge” is always true.
- Comment on TIL: Parental controls aren't for parents – Beast Hacker 2 weeks ago:
It’s not even that.
There’s enough complexity around just one component to prevent what should be obvious.
What I know is this. My son just wants to play video games and talk to his friends. I just want to keep him safe. Somewhere between those two things, I’m supposed to become an expert in the convoluted parental control schemes of Gabb, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Xbox, while a stranger’s Christmas morning texts sit in my son’s phone history.
He can do both, just not at the same time. Or, bring back the LAN party. Those are the choices. Otherwise, yeah skeezy predators and nazi porn await. As if it wasn’t super obvious.
This guy, who is clearly more savvy than your average bear, is just discovering all the marketing hype about protecting children is bullshit. Wait til he finds out about protecting the earth.

Fair, but corn has a use. (Also not one I agree with but you get my meaning.)
- Comment on ‘Just an unbelievable amount of pollution’: how big a threat is AI to the climate? 2 weeks ago:
“This idea that the lower cost of renewables alone will drive decarbonisation – it’s not enough,” said Daly. “Because if there’s a huge source of energy demand that wants to grow, it will land on these stranded fossil fuel assets.”
There’s also a huge issue around water use which isn’t mentioned in the article.
