- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 21 hours ago:
In the Nutcracker, at least, they’re pretending to fence, in a choreographed dance.
And no one writes stories about who won the fencing match.
Wrestling takes things to a ridiculous level compared to all other performances.

- Comment on We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm 2 weeks ago:
Some of them will end up with increased profits because Trump supporters are prepared to pay more. As we saw in the last inflation cycle, the incentive to exploit a crisis to increase margins is hard to ignore.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
If we had AGI, the number of jobs that would be at risk would be enormous. But these LLMs aren’t it.
They are language models and until someone can replace that second L with Logic, no amount of layering is going to get us there.
Those layers are basically all the previous AI techniques laid over the top of an LLM but anyone that has a basic understanding of languages can tell you how illogical they are.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
I do as a software engineer. The fad will collapse. Software engineering hiring will increase but the pipeline of new engineers will is dry because no one wants to enter the career with companies hanging ai over everyone’s heads. Basic supply and demand says my skillset will become more valuable.
Someone will need to clean up the ai slop. I’ve already had similar pistons where I was brought into clean up code bases that failed being outsourced.
Ai is simply the next iteration. The problem is always the same business doesn’t know what they really want and need and have no ability to assess what has been delivered.

Need to rework that to use clay and then many areas could print the house from what’s available under the land.

Jokes on them, I’m into it.
- Comment on I don't have any kids or anything but want some one day. I grew up under the fog of 9/11. How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it? 2 weeks ago:
Long before they’ll ask on their own, they’ll learn about it in school every and ask you questions prepared by their teacher about how it affected you.

having lived with teenagers in the house, I can’t say it’s the worst idea…
This is boomer humor style nonsense. All this really means is you’re a terrible parent.
I have lived with teenagers and still do. I’ve found it no more difficult than any other stage.

Bold of you to assume they’ll use Java and not some obscure language picked based on the need to pad their resumes.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
Look at this red neck hick over here drinking cheap beer who things he’s a god because people tolerate him enough to use him for his tiny island of knowledge around cnc machines.
The only line of work he can maintain because the machine doesn’t judge him for his horrendous stench and ogre like appearance.

Most painful comment so far
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 4 weeks ago:
Google would still own android and may not be inclined to keep chrome as the default. That is a significant portion of the browser’s user base.
With default search engine agreements being threatened, it may shake out where Google and Firefox agreed to make Firefox the default android browser in exchange for keeping Google their default search engine.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 4 weeks ago:
The raise your child to use a device appropriately. Waiting until they are a teenager is far too late to form the appropriate habits around self limiting screen time.
I get that no one wants to blame the device but this is clearly a parenting issue and I say this as someone who has on average raised far more children than anyone in my generation.
But go ahead and lean into the articles that blame on the evil algorithms and the evil corporations. Personal and parental responsibility is hard anx blaming outside influences is easy.
Raise your children or someone else will do it for you.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 4 weeks ago:
13? How many of their friends have phones because I would assume their using phones, just not one you gave them and I know from experience other parents do not do the most basic of filtering in their kids devices.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 4 weeks ago:
It’s a technology sub and I’ve been around long enough to know this is where the morons of the internet hang out but not everyone is as aware of the pattern.

A modern day equivalent of “we don’t own a tv”
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 5 weeks ago:
If China is subsidizing the vheicle and we purchase them here, that means we are drawing from China’s subsidies.
The claim is this is to save industries but the notion that was need to save specific industry is never questioned.
We’re told we’re protecting jobs but that’s bullshit. We’re only protecting the profits of capitalists.

The first rule of investing is accepting you are not smarter than the market.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
Americans actually pay a higher effective tax rate than in civilized countries, while receiving fewer services in return.
Only the very weathy have a lower effective rate because they use discretionary spending to purchase lax tax laws.
America is a shit hole country in deep deep denial.

So he bought a house for 6k 50 years go and now has to pay 2k in property taxes each year. If he was renting that wouldn’t cover two months.
Does he also complain that the sales tax on candy bar is more than he used to pay for a candy bar when he first bought his house?
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook servers down, reports say 1 month ago:
All of that can be equally true for cloud infrastructure. There is argument that the cloud company is more incentivizing to use 2 year olds to save labor costs.
In the cloud admin world, no one knows you’re a toddler.
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook servers down, reports say 1 month ago:
On-prem allows you 100% control on the downtime. You build internal trust by deciding when to upgrade, availability of hot swap, rollback, etc.
Cloud is just trust and it’s out of your control if they break that trust.
