Must be those soy vanilla frappes and the new iphone.

The graphics in WC blew me away. The sound in wc2 (rise thrakath) did the same. Wc3 movie production values. Privateer open galaxy navigation. Chris Roberts was on a roll!
- Comment on Video of Chinese Manager Beating African Workers Sparks Racism Debate 1 week ago:
Agreed - western educated asian returning to my own supposedly developing country. The people around me treat anyone not in the same clan as degenerate, be it on race, religion or rights, and rah rah the national unity side of it joyously in political slogans and joint snarky reactions to international politics while denying our own citizens equal rights under the law. Yippie kai yay.
Also got a .ml ban for good measure. Maybe they’re compensating for small dick size.

Isnt being approached by creeps part of the ‘authentic’ experience?
- Comment on Your body is completely dark except for the 1 molecule outside layer that light hits. 2 weeks ago:
Nah, sss is the phenomena they are trying to capture. When we comparing it to reality, i.e. the intended results, it looks fake because they haven’t figured how to model it such that it both looks good and renders in a reasonable amount of time. CG milk looks like crap for the same reason.
- Comment on Your body is completely dark except for the 1 molecule outside layer that light hits. 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely more than 1 molecule thick. CG people call it sub-surface scattering.

Fuck him. His 195m compensation probably makes it easier to swallow.
- Comment on Painful day for tech titans as EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into them 2 months ago:
Correct. I feel the regulators lost the plot when they didn’t keep up with market demands for next gen messaging, leading first to the proprietary protocols and then the proliferation of third party apps growing out of a person’s social clout. It’s sucks having to check which app someone is on before I can communicate with them. Some of us here in Asia have 10+ messaging apps on our phone, a combination of pre installed bloatware and apps installed because someone else didn’t have my one, esoteric app. Each time we are handing over more and more of our personal data, network, metadata (so they say) etc.

Maybe they’re just worried about meeting an AI trained on cat memes and inflammatory racist rants from socially awkward incoherent individuals with anger and self love issues.
I kid! I kid!
Maybe…

Agreed. I used to follow a mod group and the optimizations they used to pull off on 8086 is ridiculous. Nowadays an embedded browser app takes up 5gb on my phone. Wtf.

You kid, I know. But the shuttle software was one of the most stringently tested systems, at least as one of my sEng courses would have me believe.
Amazing that the device you are reading this on isnway more powerful that the ones that first put men on the moon.

Medical and banks on older stuff yet. Dunno about space shuttle.
- Comment on Painful day for tech titans as EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into them 2 months ago:
Tech looks like magic to the average person. It’s even hard for tech people to definitively tell if something inappropriate is happening, unless they have access to the source. And even so, companies will hide behind the ‘trade secrets’ excuse. Most of the time we can only imagine the shenanigans happening behind the veneer of the corporate copy, because it’s what we would do, given the vast amounts of data and lack of accountability/ transparency available for exploitation.
- Comment on Painful day for tech titans as EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into them 2 months ago:
I was around during the IE/ Netscape war. It occurred to me back then that given the same set of opportunities, any business would likely do the same. It sucks.
- Comment on Painful day for tech titans as EU finally sinks its regulatory teeth into them 2 months ago:
Good. Get rid of proprietary messaging apps and unfettered access to our data. Bring back standards.

Better brush up on my e-sports skillz, then.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 2 months ago:
The kids (not you guys) will just move on to another platform, mate. Depending on the stage of growth, the company will burn through its funding, the owners will cash out, list then cash out, sell the data and move on to the next grift. Circle of life and all that.
Also see vr, llm, gai, etc. In SEA we have a company carsome that was touted as a ‘unicorn’, and I can’t see their value proposition for the life of me.

- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 2 months ago:
Me, I’d prefer to fill it in with fake news. Let them train their bots on ‘taylor swift is an alien psyop trained to infiltrate the highest levels of govt to fulfill the agenda of the radical left instellar warmongering fearlords …’
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 2 months ago:
Frankly, if they’re training bots on my comments, I’d be sure to poison the shit out of those comments. Say stuff like ‘Donald trump won the election’, ‘bleach needs to be inside the body to work’, ‘Russia has rights to Ukraine’, etc. Just make the data worthless. Any free bots do that?
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 2 months ago:
Yeah. At most they’d mark the comments as inactive, hide from the user accessible areas and maybe anonymize the user id. But they definitely have the username table and the data still in the system, 100%, just waiting for the right offer.
- Comment on Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
It’s just to boost investor confidence. It’ll take a few years before it dies down, the true value is understood and the next buzzword takes hold. Sad state of tech these days. Many grifters, many more losers.
