No thanks.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 day ago:
I’ve been playing since 1991. My friend had a copy and I was so into it I’d go over to his house to play it when he wasn’t home. Then I got my own copy and I haven’t stopped playing since.
Well, except that one time where I had to have my wife hide the Civ V disc from me because I couldn’t stop myself.
I guess what I’m saying is take breaks and go outside, but I know your life will be “just one more turn…” from here on out.
- Comment on They making fun of you yankee 1 day ago:
I’m amazed it took them this long to make fun of this. It’s been happening since long before I was born.
- Comment on Remote KVM recommendations 1 day ago:
I was gonna suggest WireGuard but these are probably less work which is what a business wants.
Another bonus is you have more than just Remote Desktop to manage things.

I only feel bad for all the sysadmins who will get woken up because of this
- Comment on An uplifting message for you. 3 days ago:
True. It was 80 today and it’ll be in the 30s the rest of the week.
Life really is suffering.

Right? Going somewhere is bad and it ruins coming home.

Travel is annoying and everywhere has a weird smell.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 4 days ago:
If they made ads unobtrusive they wouldn’t be able to charge as much for them.

This aggression shall not stand. We need a Sheetz in Newark.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
“Lie” implies they have some kind of agency. They’re basically a Plinko board.

Sheetz gang where you at?
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
Yep. And the last time I did this I helped by keeping my house around 50 degrees all the time. I figure if we spend most of our energy keeping warm then making that harder would burn more calories.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
Now that I’m used to eating less I’ve found that I simply can’t eat like I used to without discomfort.
Case in point: last night I got an Italian sub and was full after half of it, while previously I would have housed the entire thing.
- Comment on Microslop 🤮 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure Apple’s marketing team didn’t come up with “Micro$oft”
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
I gave up soda entirely and now I can’t drink any of it. It tastes like fizzy battery acid to me.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
Lots of things are easy to do once, but doing them continuously for as long as necessary is extremely hard.
That being said I was starving for like two weeks but eventually I found I can’t eat that much anymore and it got easier.

Thermodynamics is a cruel but fair mistress
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
This is a joke but I lost 20 pounds so far just by eating half as much as I normally would.
- Comment on Shipping slows to a crawl through Strait of Hormuz, threatening to snarl international trade 1 week ago:
The YT channel What’s Going on with Shipping started with this and has the best analysis of this.
- Comment on the world 1 week ago:
The way I came into it was reading them all in order. I’m told this is not the best way and that there are flow charts.
But I like this way because I got to see how Sir Pterry evolved as an author and I got to see them in somewhat disjointed order rather than going through individual characters or arcs.

That was you?!? Brilliant
- Comment on Microslop 🤮 1 week ago:
Having participated in the epic Mac vs. PC flame wars of the 90s and 00s I’m upset us Mac users never came up with Microslop.

I am so excited for you! Ive been through all of it at least twice but I’ll never forget my first time.

- Comment on Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect." 1 week ago:
It’s data collection like you mentioned in your original post, and
As for a valid use of LLMs: Natural language searching (with cited sources) is a use case that it’s already doing. This is especially useful in highly technical fields where the end users have the expertise to vet responses.
But one big LLM trained on everything isn’t that.

Seinfeld is also like that. The best ones are where all their individual idiocy ends up making a spectacular fireball of stupidity.
Though I hope Earth gets a better finale.
