- Comment on Microsoft builds first datacenters with wood to slash carbon emissions 2 weeks ago:
So the best thing you can do with a tree, is to cut it down and use it as materials, if we want to release as little CO2 as possible?
And ofc this depends on new trees being planted in its stead.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 4 weeks ago:
Ah yes, and then uses Jesus’ name in the same sentence as USA. The guy hated capitalism more than anything.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 4 weeks ago:
You’re probably right. I encountered maybe 2 or 3 deers running out in front of my car so far, and I hit the breaks every time in pure reflex anyway.
Dodged them so far, but damn I’m scared I might hit one at some point.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I heard about people dying in crashes with deers also. I just remembered we were taught this, and I just thought it might be programmed to ignore animals because of this.
But it’s probably wrong, and as someone pointed out, it seems like it didn’t even see the deer.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 4 weeks ago:
I hate Tesla as much as the next guy in here.
But I learned at my driving lessons that you shouldn’t hit the breaks for animals running into your lane, because it can result in a car crash that’s way worse. (think truck behind you with a much longer break length.)
Don’t know if there’s different rules.
- Comment on Concerns about medical note-taking tool raised after researcher discovers it invents things no one said — Nabla is powered by OpenAI's Whisper 5 weeks ago:
It’s great they start using these tools, but I hope they keep in mind that it needs much fine tuning before it’s reliable enough.
You need to use a product in practice to make it better. But you don’t need to rely on it from the start. They need to invest the time in implementation, and where it can be used and shouldn’t be used.
Nice progress towards something good, but we’re not there yet.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 1 month ago:
She was a boy. Now she’s a girl. Daddy didn’t take it so well.
- Comment on Brazil imposes new fine, demands payments before letting X resume. 2 months ago:
No wonder Elon prefers fascist leaders vs left governments.
- Comment on Which Countries Have The Most Data Centers? 2 months ago:
Or the have fewer but larger.
Or as another user pointed out: The source might be questionable to use as valid data globally.
- Comment on Is it fair to ask individuals to make significant changes to their lifestyles to combat climate change?" 2 months ago:
It’s fair to ask companies and politicians first.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It’s actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.
- Comment on Like Brazil, the European Union also has an X problem. 2 months ago:
Yeah. Or, you know. Find something else to do.
- Comment on Patreon will have to use Apple's in-app purchase system or be removed from the App Store 3 months ago:
They lost it in the EU, but did it change for the rest of the world? Can’t really read from the article what region they are talking about.
- Comment on Sineng Electric launches world’s largest sodium-ion battery storage project 3 months ago:
I talked to an energy engineer about it, and I’m pretty sure it’s what he said. Would also make sense when China use it like this.
- Comment on Sineng Electric launches world’s largest sodium-ion battery storage project 3 months ago:
Sodium-ion has a lower power to weight ratio. Lithium is better in this regard.
Sodium-ion is used on the ground as storage for this reason. It’s not to be beneficial to put it into a moveable object.

My bad. English is not my first language.
- Comment on Ad industry initiative abruptly shuts down after lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s X 3 months ago:
He literally bullied a non-profit organisation set in the world to use advertisement money responsible into ceasing operations.
Loss for the world once again, and the article even says that Republicans celebrated. That country is sick.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 3 months ago:
Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.
- Comment on Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation” 3 months ago:
Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.
- Comment on Trump’s ‘no choice’ comment on EVs reveal partisan divide over green tech 3 months ago:
I agree with you, but people need to stop looking at the economy as a “free market”.
Almost every single government are putting restraints on one product or another.
Yes, we want to support domestic construction. We need competition, and we don’t need to ship goods across the world as much as we do.
But the market is not free. And that’s a good thing.
- Comment on Court blocks the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality... again 3 months ago:
Not really the point, because this case would go to supreme court if they didn’t like the ruling.
- Comment on Court blocks the FCC's efforts to restore net neutrality... again 3 months ago:
The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 4 months ago:
I’m not working in tech either. Everyone relying on a computer can use this.
Also, medicin and radiology are two areas that will benefit from this - especially the patients.
- Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds 4 months ago:
Same, I’ve automated alot of my tasks with AI. No way 77% is “hampered” by it.
- Comment on Google and Brave The Only Search Engines Able To Index Reddit 4 months ago:
Well, it only gives a bigger reason for other search engines to index the competition.
- Comment on A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 46 white men have lost 4 months ago:
Doesn’t really matter what you vote in. The higher the % is for votes on non of the candidates, the more likely is the change.
- Comment on A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 46 white men have lost 4 months ago:
It’s just an excuse.
They will be hard to deal with, but for the first time ever, they need to learn compromise.
It also opens up for legitimate third part candidates in next Senate election.
- Comment on A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 46 white men have lost 4 months ago:
Can’t you vote for anyone else then?
- Comment on Open Letter: "The European Union must keep funding free software" 4 months ago:
I don’t think I get what you mean, when I only named consumer rights against companies and eco friendly laws?
Can you specify why it’s bad and who the EU is trying to hurt with this?
- Comment on Ericsson Struggles with Huawei's Dominance in European Telecom Market Despite Ban - EconoTimes 4 months ago:
That’s true, but it’s also true that China has prioritised to make automated factories and investing heavily in just plain better battery tech.
I know alot of the money came from the CCP, but when the investments are done, this new tech will outperform other companies on just being better (thinking of EV specifically).
I think I’m just saying that a state investing in tech and technologies is not a bad idea always.
