You washed your dishes too hard
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 1 week ago:
At some point it comes down to incentives, to not shun such terrible people just helps increase their influence. Accepting their money makes it look like you think what they did isn’t bad. Terms like greenwashing exists just highlight this problem, we have to make it clear it’s unacceptable to behave like that and that you can not buy your way out of consequences.

We Swedes can get in on the verylongcompoundword fun too

Yes, this. Tax collateral as advance on capital gains and the whole incentive to dodge taxes with loans go away
You could make exceptions for loans taken to improve the same asset (home improvement loans) but you’d have to pass strict audits to get the exception approved

If a group of lawyers told me I can talk about people from a region they don’t like I’d laugh and ask if they want to lose their licenses to practice law

Pressure wash
- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 4 weeks ago:
Unreliable certainly. For as long as there’s radio coverage there’s a way, but it used to be impractical to give passengers enough bandwidth. 20 years ago you’d have to ask the captain nicely to get a call routed (read: have an emergency)
If you allow civilian HAM radio, you go back a few more decades (not quite applicable to planes, but definitely applicable to boats)
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
This one (bath thermometer) goes to 111°F
- Comment on I'm good, thanks 4 weeks ago:
Irrational probabilities makes MWI impractical unless you interpret the branching much like a continous graph (as a visualization, see phase of matter graphs) with an ever increasing number of dimensions. And yes continous branching is weird

They’re just contributing to perfect information, or, uh…

- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 1 month ago:
They’re targeting anybody who challenges their authority, starting with people who look different (foreigners first)
- Comment on Judge orders Anna’s Archive to delete scraped data; no one thinks it will comply 1 month ago:
It’s actually kinda easy. Neural networks are just weirder than usual logic gate circuits. You can program them just the same and insert explicit controlled logic and deterministic behavior.
The reason that doesn’t work well with a traditional LLM despite the node properties being well known is because of how intricately interwoven and mutually dependent all the different parts of the network is. You can’t just arbitrarily edit anything or insert more nodes or replace logic, you don’t know what you might break. It’s easier to place inserted logic outside of the LLM network and train the model to interact with it (“tool use”).
- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 1 month ago:
Use it as a dumb worklog sometimes. Tell it what you were already gonna do and ask if it would do the same. It’s almost always gonna agree. Then just ignore it. If somebody AI obsessed pulls out the full logs they’re gonna see you’re doing what the AI said was good. (basically Inception, lol)

Won’t melt like that, it’s absolutely going to fall over if not perfectly symmetrical

Doesn’t work in single vote winner-takes-all elections. You need something like RCV first
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
He ran a type of campaign that his opponents didn’t understand how to counter. Also, he openly collaborated with the same kinds of people that his opponents tried to polarized against him (like calling him dangerous for jews while he’s publicly collaborating with Brad Lander, also Jewish). The attacks simply weren’t credible.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
The current Swedish government is a bunch of right wing assholes that want to replicate USA, copying some of the dumbest policies just because.

Getting rid of the Republican party and their major billionaire donors
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 1 month ago:
Actually the reason is it was the cheapest DVD player for ages
PS3 was also the cheapest blueray player at the time, but the weird architecture impacting game availability and lower demand for blueray movies prevented it from gaining the same popularity
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 1 month ago:
Depends on the provider. Many only allow a single use of the provisioning code.
Some providers does however let you create a new one whenever (meant to be used when you replace devices)
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 1 month ago:
Gmail started at 1 GB, which was massive compared to anything from 1-20 MB at most hosts, and they made a point of storage per account growing over time until they jumped to 10 GB

- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 1 month ago:
What kind of workplace? Did they have a reason for masks not being enough? Because I know a few scenarios where masking wouldn’t solve the entire problem
Also, most workplaces that implemented their own requirements was not doing it “on behalf of the government” but because they didn’t want their workers to get sick and didn’t want liability for sick customers
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 1 month ago:
You can’t mandate that you get to infect me.
If you want to be a part of society, then
- vaccinate
- or, wear a mask
- or, keep your distance / stay home when sick
