- Comment on Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price. 2 days ago:
Should have linked this earlier, but adding it now anyways afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity-locations#%2Ffi… There are very few places in the US where you can be an hour away from the nearest charger.
It’s also kind of a strange situation to explain to people who are used to fuling up at gas stations. I almost never use the fast chargers near my house, I can fill up way cheaper, and way more conveniently at home. The only time I start thinking about fast charging is when I’m driving more than 300 miles in a weekend.

Yeah, you should probably mean what you say and say what you mean when having a conversation. You have no idea what the current state of ev charging infrastructure looks like, but you’re still acting like an expert.

You’ll notice I did not argue against that point at all, not having charging at home is a huge downside and would play a big part in if someone should buy an EV or not.
“OuR gRiD cAN’T taKE iT” on the other hand is not a valid argument

There are states without any electric chargers installed
So now you’re just lying.

By repeating their talking points, you are arguing that we should slow EV adoption. You are literally doing their work for them. At least if you worked for BP you could cash a pay check, you’re out here working for them for free.

Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.
You’re repeating big oil talking points. We improve the grid all the time, we can continue to do it. Sure if all cars were magically converted into EVs tomorrow we would have big problems, but that’s not how the real world works.
If the grid actually was about to fall over because of a few more EVs, these datacenters spinning up all over the place would be even bigger disasters than they already are.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 5 days ago:
So when do I stop asking the LLM to take another look? If it finds a new issue on the second or third or fourth check am I supposed to just sit here and keep asking it to “pretty please take another look and don’t miss anything this time”?
I’m not saying it’s a useless tool, it’s just not a replacement for a human code review at all.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 5 days ago:
Now ask the LLM to analyse the code it just generated. It will have a lot of notes.
Not only will it have a lot of notes, every time you ask if to analyze the code it will find new notes. Real engineers are telling me this is a good code review tool but it can’t even find the same issues reliably. I don’t understand how adding a bunch of non-deterministic tooling is supposed to make my code better.

If you know what RAM is, this product isn’t for you. It’s for your kid or grandma

It doesn’t need to be some major atrocity. “Police resort to violence in order to end high school fight” works for me.
- Comment on Tulsa police pepper sprayed children for walking out/protesting 3 weeks ago:
Yeah we should totally take the official police story as fact. They totally should be trusted implicitly.

I bet you haven’t been to a “big city” more than once in the last 5 years. People are not regularly getting kidnapped off the streets of Chicago, and if you think they are you might want to look into where you’re getting your information from.
- Comment on The rich oppose clean energy because it is renewable. If clean energy became non renewable, or fossil fuels became renewable, they would no longer oppose a transition to clean energy technology 1 month ago:
If only we could move the production of solar or wind energy closer to where it’s needed. In a different comment you ask how we would ship solar energy from the Americas to Australia. This is a huge problem and may never be solved, if only the sun was shining in Australia maybe we could just harvest the energy there…
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 month ago:
Fair enough, you could always manage your own VPN to accomplish the same goal. I didn’t want to deal with the headache of authentication or dealing with keys, so something like tailscale is perfect.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 month ago:
If you haven’t heard of it, tailscale is great for this. You can create a VPN with all of your self hosted stuff for you to access from anywhere, plus you can share specific machines with other users.
- Comment on Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?” 2 months ago:
From where I’m standing Democrats unwillingness to use “technicalities and loopholes” like keeping the government closed sure feels like the Democrats are less effective at welding political power. I’m not saying they need to fight dirty, but when they don’t even try to use the political process to their advantage it sure feels like they aren’t really trying

+1 for Audiobookshelf, has a great android app too
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 7 months ago:
I highly recommend Tailscale, you can share machines/services with unlimited friends on the free tier, and all of the actual auth stuff is handled by someone who isn’t me.

And teslas will have full self driving tomorrow and crypto currency will replace normal currency within one year! Always believe in the hype!
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 10 months ago:
You’re fundamentally misunderstanding the comment you replied to, they are not saying that voice AI are bad, they are saying there is not enough training data to improve the AI for these languages. How will it improve without good training data?
