Looks fine to me.
- Comment on Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction" 1 week ago:
It sadly is, or at least the data protection agencies don’t act against it. They only declared it illegal under the digital services act for big gatekeepers like facebook.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 2 weeks ago:
I see no reason why “post right wing propaganda” and "write so you don’t sound like “AI” " should be conflicting goals.
The actual argument why I don’t find such results credible is that the “creator” is trained to sound like humans, so the “detector” has to be trained to find stuff that does not sound like humans. This means, both basically have to solve the same task: Decide if something sounds like a human.
To be able to find the “AI” content, the “detector” would have to be better at deciding what sounds like a human than the “creator”. So for the results to have any kind of accuracy, you’re already banking on the “detector” company having more processing power / better training data / more money than, say, OpenAI or google.
But also, if the “detector” was better at the job, it could be used as a better “creator” itself. Then, how would we distinguish the content it created?

If you could reliably detect “AI” using an “AI” you could also use an “AI” to make posts that the other “AI” couldn’t detect.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 months ago:
Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available. I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 months ago:
I don’t understand how people can live like this and not consider emigration.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 months ago:
I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.
- Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 3 months ago:
There are other types of value, of course. It’s just funny to specifically call the apple out for being a myth. The entire story is a myth, so they could have made it a pomelo for all I care.

What is “truth value” supposed to mean?

Great! Can’t have myths about random fruit in this otherwise totally valid, reasonable and trustworthy story about a woman that was made from a man’s rib and talked to reptiles.

Moderate Inflation (around the 2% target) is necessary for the current economical system to function. It incentivizes people to either invest or spend their money instead of sitting on it.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 4 months ago:
What we call AI today is also not going to evolve into an actual AI.
You can call the field of research what you want, but the current products are not AI. Do you also call potatoes vodka?
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 4 months ago:
Let’s start by not calling it AI anymore. Cause it isn’t.
- Comment on Bloodlines 2 is more "spiritual successor" than sequel to a "a competently good game by 2004 standards", say Paradox 4 months ago:
“I actually played Bloodlines 1 quite recently, and it is a good game, but it is also an old game, and there are many things that would not fly today,”
No new Heather. I guarantee it. Also, there will be a shitstorm about it.
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 4 months ago:
Why upgrade hardware that still does all you need?
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 4 months ago:
Because MS is so good at quickly releasing quality patches for every vulnerability that it’s not already a huge target?
- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 4 months ago:
You make it sound like an older gaming rig wasn’t powerful enough to run win 11. It’s not about the older hardware being too weak, it’s about enforcing their TPM bullshit with which they aim to gradually create an apple style walled garden where they control what you can do with your machine.

Stop, stop, I already decided to never buy anything off Amazon ever again, you don’t have to convince me further.

That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

Trucks are limited to 80km/h.

Then they’re speeding.
Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 5 months ago:
There are differences of course. Still, Steam’s policy, which is often internationally praised as consumer friendly, is very restrictive from a European perspective.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 5 months ago:
I can get faulty physical goods fixed/refunded by the store up to 2 years after purchase (EU). It’s the store’s problem to get a refund from the manufacturer. The same should be true in case of Valve and a publisher.
- Comment on Young people today are stressed, depressed—and changing the fundamental pattern of happiness, new research shows 6 months ago:
And you are afraid they might actually change something, because that’d mean you’d have suffered for nothing.
