- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 17 hours ago:
When someone gives an ultimatum of “me or them” (a or b), the best choice is almost always never a. It is the least restrictive choice.
If there were an actual reason to not choose b, the best choice is likely neither.
I understand the argument that “she is struggling” but the moment they make their struggle your struggle they are choosing to spread the pain rather than deal with it. This is never acceptable in a parent child relationship, more so if the child is a minor.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 2 days ago:
The relationship is the problem.
Calculating the levenshtein distance is the first thing that comes to mind, then creating a regular expression that covers any leaked passwords tied to the same account.
This is all easily scriptable and two leaked passwords might be all a script needs to discover the pattern. Once the pattern is known, all of their passwords become knowable.
- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 4 days ago:
People try and use commas for this sort of clarification and are eviscerate for it.
With these sort of math problems, the rules are taught early and then all subsequent math is written in an unambiguous form.
Language has the oddity of going the other way around where the rules get more complex as a display for advanced skilled.

Anyone on Facebook that attempts to answer this or engage within its comments has already failed the test.
- Comment on T-Mobile secretly records iPhone screens and claims it's being helpful. 6 days ago:
It’s only recording screens within the app. This sounds like an analytics tools. Any webpage can do this, common usage is click tracking.

At least there would be no copyright or trademarks.
Also I am meta corp, please paid the overdue invoice.
Also, we have annexed mega corp local shoppe and confiscated all inventory. All inventory is 90% off, this a fire sale; we’re burning this mother fucker to the ground at midnight.

The only true PR statement they could release.
- Comment on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy plays up his retail rivals’ worst nightmare: Trump’s tariffs may actually strengthen Amazon 4 weeks ago:
So buy directly from China using AliExpress (fuck temu) and cut out the Amazon tax?
When America companies do this, it’s white labeling and they sometimes adds a warranty, better package etc.
With Amazon you just pay the Amazon tax. The products they are describing aren’t coming next day. It’s literally the same speed as AliExpress with a worse return policy. AliExpress will refund and let you keep the item.

- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

- 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? 1 month 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.

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.

- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 2 months 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 2 months 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.

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.
