My reaction exactly. I studied there as well. Lise Meitner may be underappreciated but at least someone made sure she’s not forgotten.

You forgot the degaussing sound for those screens that had that feature.
*KLONK*
- Comment on The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble 3 weeks ago:
And I wouldn’t know where to start using it. My problems are often of the “integrate two badly documented company-internal APIs” variety. LLMs can’t do shit about that; they weren’t trained for it.
They’re nice for basic rote work but that’s often not what you deal with in a mature codebase.

Manga is typically read right to left.
- Comment on Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries? 2 months ago:
German here. I rarely had less than half an hour of a commute but that’s in part because I find that time acceptable. I typically choose my mode of transportation to hit half an hour, whether that’s public transit, a bike, or even walking.
Could I save ten minutes by getting a car or motorbike? Sure, but the cost far outweighs the benefits. Besides, I like to ride my bike and mostly work from home anyway.
- Comment on Here's why modern gaming suuuuucks. 2 months ago:
I gotta agree here. Every game doesn’t feel the same if you don’t constrain yourself to the world of overhyped overmonetized AAA slop.
In my library I have a game about running an alternate-history navy sitting next to one about being a scrapper in space. The next one over is about terraforming a planet with your own labor. Then there’s a pure-bred Igavania next to a quirky game about power washing.
Sure, there are multiplayer titles in there as well but virtually none that even bother with anti-cheat bullshit because coop beats competitive in my opinion.
(For the record, I do own overhyped AAA slop but it’s nowhere near the majority of what I play.)
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 4 months ago:
True, but getting someone to switch to Linux is a hard sell already. Any compatibility issues are seen as the OS’s fault, not as the game company being lazy.

Kernel-level anticheat and DRM are killer features, like it or not. People don’t care how invasive they are, they want to play League of Duty. If Linux can’t do that then it’s not good enough yet as far as they are concerned.
Meanwhile the only thing keeping me from switching to Garuda on my desktop is that the GPU is wonky and misbehaves even worse under Linux than it does under Windows.

Well, “proto-chickens”, let’s say.
Also known as red junglefowl.

Or an action movie with a fight scene aboard a transport airplane with people getting tossed out of the loading door. Cut to action on the ground with them impacting in sync with the music.

Probably smug about how her theme started playing in my head as soon as I saw the picture.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 5 months ago:
That’s why I dropped them when my mid-2013 MBP got a bit long in the tooth. Mac OS X, I mean OS X, I mean macOS is a nice enough OS but it’s not worth the extortionate prices for hardware that’s locked down even by ultralight laptop standards. Not even the impressive energy efficiency can save the value proposition for me.
Sometimes I wish Apple hadn’t turned all of their notebook lines into MacBook Air variants. The unibody MBP line was amazing.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 5 months ago:
Your comment is a good reason why these tools have no place in the courtroom: The things you describe as imagination.
They’re image generation tools that will generate a new, unrelated image that happens to look similar to the source image. They don’t reconstruct anything and they have no understanding of what the image contains. All they know is which color the pixels in the output might probably have given the pixels in the input.
It’s no different from giving a description of a scene to an author, asking them to come up with any event that might have happened in such a location and then trying to use the resulting short story to convict someone.
