Vibe pricing.
- Comment on TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan 1 day ago:
wired.com/…/book-excerpt-science-of-ultra-pure-si…
As I said, we can make nine 9 silicon. But not eleven 9. China makes billions of nine 9 silicon chips per year. But they can’t make eleven 9. Everyone is trying to create lab made eleven 9, it might not be possible. The natural stuff formed over hundreds of millions of years with basically no exposure to water. Which means no contaminates.
So yeah, we’ve not succeeded in recreating that.
- Comment on TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan 1 day ago:
Another factor here is that to make the most advanced chips, you need something called eleven 9 silicon. That’s silicon that’s 99.999999999% pure.
We can only artificially manufacture up to nine 9 silicon.
Eleven 9 has to be mined, and there’s only one spot in the world were it exists. A little town in North Carolina.
That’s why the US gets to say who can even attempt to manufacture advanced chips.

On a completely different note… Have you ever heard of Point Nemo? It’s the point in the ocean furthest from any land. Somewhere in the south Pacific.
Also there’s a type of nonsense that crops up among right wing jackasses every few years called sea steading. It’s a bad idea for a lot of reasons unless done in some very specific places and in some very specific ways.
Point Nemo would be a very bad place for sea steading.

I never said where the jail was. My idea for that will also get you banned.
- Comment on You must tell me, please! 2 days ago:
Girls, it also undresses young girls.
And apparently the grok website/app or whatever will generate explicit and/or violent videos of anyone.
So yeah. One more reason to take all of Elons money and put him in jail forever.
- Comment on xkcd #3202: Groundhog Day Meaning 4 days ago:
celebrate resurrection of man-god who allowed himself to be killed so he could save us, and immediately after resurrection he transformed into god-god and moved to the sky.
Man-god allowed himself to be killed to save us from the wrath of god-god. A being who was mad that the creatures he created weren’t spending all day every day worshiping him exactly as he said to, after giving them the free will to do otherwise.

Shepherds only really stay out in their fields during calving season, i.e. And in Israel, that’s mid-December to mid-January.
But really, anything actually written about Jesus before the age of like 30, is likely completely made up during the Council of Nicaea in 325AD.
Before that, the Trinity wasn’t fully mainstream, because Jesus was considered a created being and not god himself. At least by a large percentage of early Christians.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 5 days ago:
Hitler actually did both. Several of his “girlfriends” were 14 when they met.
He also managed to become the guardian of his 14 year old niece at one point.
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 1 week ago:
I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for a few years now, and I can say Bethesda games, and specifically modding Bethesda games. That shit works a well as can be expected on windows, and if you keep the mod list light, can actually run better than vanilla.
I will say, the free Fallout 4 creation club content good enough as far as light modding goes, and runs extremely well.
Skyrim on the other hand, would honestly probably be fine if their creation club had half the mods that I want to play with.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
Which is sort of wild.
Marx was very clear that communism could not be delivered by heroes on horseback. But then again, Tankies don’t like Marx, they like Lenin, the man who lost an election to actual communists and then had them all killed. He seized power via coup, and then made himself a king, and wrote how kings (vanguard parties) were somehow vital to communism, and how democracy was not.
- Comment on Hard to answer the question when you don't even understand the question 1 week ago:
I did that for my entire time in school.
I used to think I was just very smart. Now I know that it was mostly attention deficit and a near perfect memory. A memory that I had trained by with this beat up self-help meditation book that I found. It taught a real method of meditation, but also promised magic mind powers. I found it when I was like 7, so I practiced the fuck out of those basic techniques.
These days, I train my memory by reading 20-30 different webnovels that update anywhere between daily and once every 2-3 months. Still haven’t gotten a real handle on that attention deficit though…
- Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change 1 week ago:
Except for the subtle Chinese propaganda constantly fed to the rest of the world. Now the propaganda is blatant enough for people to abandon the app, so the world is technically better for the US seizure. The app went to shit, but it was already pretty bad, so no net loss there.
- Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change 1 week ago:
Eh, it’s actually a wash. China did the exact same shit with different key words. They were just smarter about it.
And most of the censorship was in China.
Because China is a totalitarian dictatorship, and is no ones friend.
Just because the US is shit, doesn’t make China any better. The world isn’t black and white, it’s mostly black and dark grey.
- Comment on TikTok claimed bugs blocked anti-ICE videos, Epstein mentions; experts call BS 1 week ago:
And Tiktok isn’t the only place for that exact type of content.
People are already jumping ship to other platforms.
- Comment on TikTok claimed bugs blocked anti-ICE videos, Epstein mentions; experts call BS 1 week ago:
Ah, but that’s the thing. There are always new platforms.
The current winner seems to be a new one called Upscrolled.
The guy behind it is a Palestinian out of Jordan, with Australian citizenship?
Anyway, that’s all I currently know about it, the app is being hugged to death by tens of thousands of new users over the last day or two.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
They aren’t Microsoft anymore, they’re full on Microslop.
- Comment on Valheim player keeps building Dollar Generals despite friend begging them to stop: 'I do not want to play Valheim with Greg anymore' 3 weeks ago:
Hard to unionize when you’re the only person working the store.
But yes, the company is also anti-union.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 4 weeks ago:
I’m calling all of microslop. So there’s that.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 4 weeks ago:
Except you really don’t. Hiroshima was a tiny bomb compared to what’s currently aimed at you.
A thermonuclear missile can start a fire storm, that’s a fire that creates it’s own weather patterns. This fire storm will be the size of a US state. From a single missile.
Each state has dozens of missiles aimed at it, just waiting for the launch order.
The same sort of devastation will hit all of Europe, Russia, China, and basically the entire northern hemisphere.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in a hardened bunker either, because you’ll just cook alive inside. That’s if your bunker survives at all, because there’s no bunker on earth that can survive a direct hit. Not under the White House, not NORAD, not even most deep mines.
And since every single nuclear power is “launch on warning”, we’re likely fucked. At any time, we are less than 30 minutes from complete extinction.
But since there’s literally nothing we can do about it, I just don’t think about it.
- Comment on YSK: The pulled *60 Minutes* CECOT segment aired in Canada and is available online 1 month ago:
Back when CECOT was under construction there was a puff piece about how they were “taking back the country from the violent gangs” which was why the government was arresting anyone even accused of being in a gang.
They billed this as somehow a good thing.
- Comment on Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from? 1 month ago:
Kitfox games has a YouTube channel where they show off a bunch of their current and upcoming games. Often videos by the developer themselves.
I don’t have a more general type site.
- Comment on Meta tolerates rampant ad fraud from China to safeguard billions in revenue 1 month ago:
To be fair, Chinese culture here is also fucking terrible. That doesn’t make Facebook or western countries good, because only a child thinks like that.
No, everyone is shit. that’s the adult take away here.
- Comment on Are you sure about that? 1 month ago:
Yup, the real world conspiracies are all pretty much out in the open. The ones that are hidden, are not hidden well. This is mostly because being rich and powerful doesn’t make you smart.
- Comment on calcium and potassium 1 month ago:
Gut flora suppositories are a thing, and have been since before WW2.
Seems there was a guy in WW2 with golden guts, who survived the trenches and bad food, dysentery and such unscathed. Doctors then took samples of his gut biome and started using them to treat others who were less fortunate. Like Hitler with his life long chronic flatulence problems.
These days you can take a simple pill that’s designed to open up once it reaches the large intestine the long way, rather than the shortcut. It’s sold under the brand name Mutaflor, but it’s the same stuff, just freeze dried and encapsulated for oral consumption.
- Comment on YSK that Elon Musk now hates California. He lives in West Lake Hills, Texas. He loves to visit Austin. 1 month ago:
As an aside, have you been following how Ukraine uses drones for anti personal attacks? Interesting stuff.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
I think that was part of Gamer Gate. The toxic rightwing backlash to women existing on the internet, and not in porn. It was the exact same time period.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
Could have been. Reddit never actually told us anything. One of the other mods got a private message on another channel (discord maybe?) from the missing mod about it. But details were light, and the missing mod never even tried to return to Reddit. Said the ban was good for his mental health.
Then there was some Subreddit specific drama, and Reddit admins actually did the good thing. Then the API change, the blackout, and a couple other things that specifically fucked over mods. So I too, mostly left.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
I do indeed. I didn’t actually have an account back then, because I was mostly browsing from work… I also mostly frequented Digg until the 4.0 fiasco.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 month ago:
Oddly, that was Spez, and when he went away for a bit, Reddit got really good. And then he came back and it went to shit.
