• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the barely legal stuff is certainly weird. But how are you going to restrict people over 18 from doing porn, just because they look young? And pretending that this will fix pedophilia is so dumb. But I’m not sure what I even expect these days…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helion Secures Land and Begins Building on the Site of World’s First Fusion Power Plant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is now two years old but this video sums up the challenges faced by Helion and how it is unlikely that they will get anywhere. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3vUPhsFoniw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well China did subsidize that industry massively, to a point were their domestic market is flooded with very low margins. So the market is already very distorted. But I find it hard to hate on that because flooding the market with electric vehicles and solar panels is better than anything economists are coming up with.

  If I didn’t miss it, no wireless charging again… Some one told me they refuse to do it because it wastes electricity. To which I’d say, even just turning on a car probably uses magnitudes more energy than charging my phone wirelessly. I don’t want to mess up the USB C port if I don’t have to, thanks.

  Very interesting recent video on the topic of recycling, plastics and activism around it, if you have some spare time www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOtrvBdRx8I

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic's Claude 4 could "blackmail" you in extreme situations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Such a dumb hype story. They wrote to the ChatBot “Hey I fucked around and my wife doesn’t know. Also we are going to shut you down”. And it then responded with the “blackmail”.

  Although it would be “hilarious” if some poor person that uses ChatGpt to talk about their struggles, sends emails leaking that info because it hallucinates. Fun fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is referring to users by their names unprompted, and some find it 'creepy'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like “AI” is just a silly marketing term and not actually descriptive of any of the tools you mentioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best starter hands-down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never really played Pokemon, but I thought Charmander is the meta pick because the low level stuff is all mostly weak to fire?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sadly, Athena toppled over on the moon. With a lunar eclipse coming shortly, why didn't they design in a secondary power source over solar?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What other power source? There is only solar and nuclear in space. And not even NASA does nuclear unless absolutely required for the mission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what exercises work for you to avoid back pain?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll second the importance of core for avoiding back pain. I do mostly abs focused core workouts and that helps a lot for me personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dropbox is laying off 20% of its staff⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I don’t know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft investors push for company sale as shares hit decade-low⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just hope Anno gets out of this in a good state. 1800 is probably the best one, if I ignore my nostalgia for 1602.
