- Comment on As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics 4 days ago:
Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing
- Comment on Is it normal for a simmer to not produce any bubbles? 5 days ago:
My immediate guess is that the measurement is off (measuring pot temp instead of water temp, perhaps) or you’re at a really low elevation or there’s weirdly high air pressure? The former is far more likely than the latter, usually people only experience water boiling sooner than expected due to high elevation. It should absolutely be simmering at 203
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 5 days ago:
Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I’m not that surprised.
I wonder how many times he’s been to Trump and Epstein’s Pedophile Island 🤔

I wouldn’t trust a single ICE or DHS agent to do the right thing in this situation. We have proof of at least one Chinese tank crew doing so.
How do you define “better”?
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 1 week ago:
Most answers on SO are either from a doc page, are common patterns found in multiple books, or is mostly opinion-based. Most code AIs are significantly better at the first two without even being trained on SO (which I wouldn’t want anyway - SO really does suck nowadays)

- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 1 week ago:
Better yet, isn’t Sony doing that exact same thing by thinking that putting an AI autoplay function into the games is what all players want or at least a gross majority?
…no? Where on earth does that come from?
Does adding a higher difficulty mean that the dev thinks all players want to play on it? Does adding accessibility features imply that everyone wants to play with subtitles? Does adding colorblind mode mean that they believe all of their players are colorblind?
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 1 week ago:
The same logic can be used for difficulty settings: you play it, in harder and harder settings, to have a new/added challenge.
I can absolutely guarantee that 99.9% of players do not ever replay a game they’ve beaten. You’re generalizing your own values and goals and they’re absolutely not as common as you think they are
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 1 week ago:
MMOs are the only modern games where anyone really cares if the player cheats
…what?

Do 5% of people you know watch hockey regularly? If not, I guess it must not be a real sport, and that definitely has absolutely nothing to do with your own bubble
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 1 week ago:
“To my knowledge” really doesn’t feel like hyperbole at all, IMO
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 1 week ago:
To my knowledge, nobody is running LLMs on their personal hardware
They absolutely are.

To be clear, I took that as her comparing two different Waffle Houses and the one with the race war was less dramatic than the other

I feel like mine’s the opposite… the first side is perfect and then I overcook the second because the pan got hotter

In college (early 2000s), we had a 50-something inch CRT. I think that thing weighed upwards of 500 lbs, was positively massive (maybe 3 feet deep?) and it took 4-6 people to move it in and out of our on-campus apartments every year. It was fucking baller for the time, though

I wouldn’t even eat lobster in Iowa, let alone pay that much for it. Where do people think the lobster is coming from?

- Comment on VTuber Graduation 2 weeks ago:
As someone pretty deep in the AI space, it’s probably just on the edge of becoming possible right now… I’m sure they’re experimenting with it, but it’s absolutely not the case yet.
- Comment on Indie game studios have been making retro style games for longer now than the 8 and 16 bit eras they're copying. 2 weeks ago:
It’s less about copying and more about the man-hours that it takes. The difference between a 2d and a 3d game is several magnitudes of work. The difference between high-quality 2d art and pixel art is similarly several magnitudes of work.
Indie developers simply don’t have the manpower to achieve that in anything remotely close to reasonable amounts of time, and (successful) indie dev times are usually already quite long.

Offended by a simple comment but calls that person a snowflake. Prime loser mentality 👍 good work, snowflake.

I also appreciate the increased security
This hasn’t been true for a long, long time. Mac was only ever more secure than windows because not enough people used them to make them worthwhile attack vectors. Nowadays, iOS sees just as many vulnerabilities as every other popular OS.

Definitely get your money back, and report to the FCC! This is clearly fraud and should be punished harshly! Maybe we can publicly hang him

That car is also casting a shadow from the flood light behind the van. The perspective works fine, nothing is wrong with the shadows. For the cars behind, they’re affected by multiple floodlights, not just one, explaining why they have both the soft and dark shadows
- Comment on Looks legit. What do you all think? 3 weeks ago:
…you’re joking, right? The shadow is from the flood light directly behind the van, the shadows all line up perfectly.

It would be financially irresponsible not to check…
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 3 weeks ago:
Which is a general statement and not dealing with your specific circumstance. If a tool works for you, by all means keep using it.
Absolute nonsense. Have we banned hammers because some people keep hitting their hands with them? Have we banned ladders as one of the single most dangerous items in any household?
I don’t think we should be putting these tools in the hands of junior devs - as the studies show, it hinders their productivity and learning. But to generally claim that they are bad tools with no upsides is just as ridiculous as the strawman you set up.
