- Comment on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly 17 hours ago:
Why play games if you’re not interested in them? Or don’t have the energy to play. Not so easy to “chill” if you’ll be kicked out your house next week. Lost your job? Bah, just chill and game.
What an absolutely brain dead thing to say.
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 4 days ago:
No one is saying those who can’t access or reqd English wikipedia is inferior. The issue here is when what is on a non-english wikipedia article is misleading or flat out harmful (like the article says about growing crops), because of juvenile attempts at letting machine translations getting it very wrong. So what Greenland did was shut down its poorly translated and maintained wiki site instead of letting it fester with misinformation. And this issue compounding when LLMs scrape Wikipedia as a source to learn new languages.

I understand you’re trying to be nice to minority languages, but if you write research papers you either limit your demographic to your own country, or you publish in English (I guess Spanish is pretty world wide as well). If you set out to read a new paper in your field, I doubt you’d pick up something in Mongolian.
Even in Sweden I would write a serious paper in English, so that more of the world could read it. Yes, we have text books for our courses that are in Swedish, but i doubt there are many books covering LLMs being published currently for example.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 week ago:
Definitely. If you have a second one it’s very safe to try out a full Linux install.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 week ago:
Two separate disks. The issue is that windows likes to overwrite or otherwise mess with the boot loader if it’s not the default windows one.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 week ago:
You’re generally safe if you 1) install them on two different disks and 2) if you’re installing windows later, unplug any drives you don’t want to use with windows. Microsoft likes to poke all drives it can see during installation even if you don’t touch them.

Now that is some number conspiracy I can get behind!
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
It’s both project lead by two different problematic people that Framework are sponsoring.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
Or, you know, they are sponsoring a) a white supremacists who believes in the white replacement conspiracy theory who’s in charge of omarchy and b) the project lead of (not just a discord mod) of hyperland. Two awful people that Framework absolutely deserve flack for supporting.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 weeks ago:
Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don’t feel like it’s their responsibility.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

Unfortunate you can’t notice the buttery smoothness if 60+ fps.
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 4 weeks ago:
Do in remember right that the special forces add-on was an online only purchase? I’m pretty sure the euro forces one was at least. I remember not having the new weapons for a long time until I could log in to my account on a friends computer with it installed.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
Oh I’ve actually heard of Pluto.tv and watched it somewhere.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
I’m not trying to make a point, I’m just curious how many this impacts and so on. I imagine it will go down similar to Netflix account sharing crackdown; generally viewed unfavourably, but will convert enough users to pay for it to be worth it.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
How is Plex used if you aren’t using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can’t imagine their offering is very competitive.
- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 5 weeks ago:
Most currencies today are fiat currency. They only got value because they are the official currency of a nation and their government says so and people have the belief it has value. The US dollar used to be backed by gold but was stopped in the 70’s.
- Comment on Clip of Chinese academic dismantling Israeli genocide propagandist goes ultra-viral 5 weeks ago:
That’s why this is ultra viral, so you know its actually viral 😄
- Comment on Uh oh lol 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but everything red shifts “naturally” as well as the light travels because of the expansion of the universe. So something traveling towards us will still red shift, just slightly less so. To determine distance you have to use something called the cosmic distance ladder. It consists of known properties of stellar objects that we can measure to determine the distance of objects.

I was looking to try Qobuz, but they didn’t like my email domain, so skipped it.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 5 weeks ago:
Good thing financiers have such a good track record of creating rational and sustainable markets. The Great Depression and 2008 will never happen again, collective intelligence when trying to earn all the money is the only sound basis of trust.
Also, fuck Sabrina.

Shame, guess I can’t say categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is dumb.

- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 2 months ago:
But ideas are cheap, of course every government has thought and dragged ideas about this before. But implementing them is costly, so letting another government go first, working out the kinks, getting case studies for what kind of messaging works, what tech is required, and seeing what the backlash looks like, makes the second go a lot easier and cheaper.
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 2 months ago:
Do they give you some sort of return or interest for having cryptosystem with them? If not why not just store it in your own wallet. I thought the whole point of crypto currencies was to decentralise it.
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 2 months ago:
But it does effect everyone. Don’t you think the lack complete backlash to the online safety act is emboldening similar ideas in the rest of the world, especially the EU? Yes, we’ve stopped chat control like 2 or 3 times already, but it’s being brought up again now.
- Comment on They'd just appear out of nowhere 2 months ago:
I most commonly see these these when I have a migraine, really bad sneezes, or I flick my eyes or move my head quickly. I’ve heard it’s fine unless you see a bug chunk at the same time as that could be a sign the retina has broken or come loose?
- Comment on Big Balls Clapped 2 months ago:
Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.
