- Comment on AI headphones translate multiple speakers at once, cloning their voices in 3D sound 3 weeks ago:
This is an utterly idiotic comment, I’ll break it down into bulletpoints to make it earier to understand.
- The comment assumes that I didn’t read the article, this is semi-wrong, I skimmed it, and found nothing of what I wrote in the article.
- The comment provides ZERO additional information, it is pure snark, and does nothing to inform me about what I missed.
- The comment assumes that everyone else also reads the article, this is not the case.
- The comment forgets the advantage of summarizing for others, if my points was found in the article, it is a good thing to summarize them in a more accessible way.
With these point in mind I believe you can make an effort to make a better comment next time.

If that is enough power, and you can run it without any internet access, then yes, it would probably adress point 1.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I suspect you gotta do something similar to what McLaren did when the special mid 90s computer they used for the F1 got too hard to replace as they broke, they built a new computer interface that was compatible with modern computers and allowed them to interface with the car
- Comment on AI headphones translate multiple speakers at once, cloning their voices in 3D sound 3 weeks ago:
Ok, so this concept is cool, but has a few problems…
- Privacy, this is far too complex to run on the headphones themselves, so the system will need to connect to a server to do the heavy lifting, what happens to the data once it used? For legal purposes I suspect it will need to be saved, meaning that any thing recorded could be analyzed or monitored.
- Trust, AI models have rules in place to make them act in specific ways, the owner of the AI system used could tweak it to change what spoken or how it is said, this could push political agendas in everyday conversations.
- Reduced lingual skills, an AI like this would reduce the incentive to learn another language, reducing people’s international direct communications, increasing dependancy on the AI service, further reducing our lingual skills.
This is scary…

I set up a 32 bit Windows 7 VM so my dad could keep using his old drawing program that was built for Windows 3.11.
It was the last version of Windows to support 3.11 compabillity.
Works well.

- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, it is fine to ask for more details if it can help solve a specific issue, say that you ask a question about tax law, but neglect to add what country you are from, then asking for your location is fine, but just out of the blue, nah.
