- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
Those are supplied by the publisher, though, which presumably has the rights to do so in the license. I guess we’ll see.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
This is for distributing games that already have licenses to the songs in them, though.
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 1 week ago:
Oops, my mistake, you were wrong about the Pentium, then, not the 486. Its model number, as I said, was A80501. You switched from model numbers to names.
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 1 week ago:
That’s a model number, not a name. The first Pentium had a model number of A80501, but you wouldn’t seriously claim that it’s really the 80501, would you?
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 1 week ago:
There is no 80486. It’s called the i486.
- Comment on Just one more square bro 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, if you have extra space but not enough for another row or column, just adjust the size of the inner squares.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
It cannot serve such content (or any content, for that matter). You have to either get the content (from an app that would have an age gate, such as a Web browser) or make it yourself. The law is about serving content, not about making or viewing it.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 2 weeks ago:
No, because LibreOffice would accept the under-13 age category.
- Comment on "I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars" - Donald J. Trump 2 weeks ago:
Biden’s term was after the Trump term that didn’t quite start any new wars (though not for lack of trying, they assassinated an Iranian general).
- Comment on Game over 2 weeks ago:
The staunch vegetarian stance of not eating anything you yourself killed
- Comment on Trump is marching toward war with Iran. He hasn’t bothered to make clear why | Mohamad Bazzi 2 weeks ago:
He’s also very racist, and he has Stephen Miller and Miriam Adelson telling him what to do.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Time: Driving takes ~1 minute; walking takes ~8-12 minutes.
Averaging that to 10 minutes, the LLM thinks that you move 5m/min, or 1m per 12 seconds? 8cm/sec? That’s about 20% faster than a three-toed sloth.
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 2 weeks ago:
You don’t think that Kansas cops will just profile anyone who looks even vaguely trans or GNC and demand to see ID?
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 weeks ago:
The argument that non-human animals do not possess some vague set of traits that make humans the only species worthy of being classified as ‘people,’
Metacognition. It’s just metacognition. Not vague in the slightest. You can argue that it isn’t a good criterion, but it’s a very clear one.
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 3 weeks ago:
The only violent crimes that women are more likely to be victims of are sexual ones. Any nonsexual violent crime is more likely to have a male victim. Is this because women are more cautious? Maybe!
- Comment on Never Trump Republicans are still issuing dire warnings. Is anyone listening? 3 weeks ago:
Especially with the Democrats adopting even the worst of the pre-Trump Republicans. Does anyone seriously have fundamental ideological differences with Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Dick Cheney without being a leftist?
- Comment on Yes this year is going to be really good and productive 4 weeks ago:
Couldn’t he phrase it as “you will be laid off in 60 days and you’re getting 60 days of bonus PTO”? I don’t see the issue with no warning if they still get paid.
- Comment on Peter Attia appears to be staying at CBS News despite Epstein communications 4 weeks ago:
Bari Weiss is in charge. Of course she isn’t going to get rid of Epstein affiliates.

Maybe they’re very high up, where water boils at a cooler temperature.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 month ago:
Too many people recorded the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti for them to control the narrative, but all that happened was that one guy got demoted.

Nothing wrong with being weird.
- Comment on Correlation equals causation 1 month ago:
Edibles are better than vapes, too. It isn’t just water vapor and THC coming out of those things. I prefer tablets, though; when I eat a brownie, I’d rather it not taste like I just licked a lawnmower.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
Flashlights are actually where wall-plug efficiency matters most, because nicer flashlights are limited almost entirely by heat. Even if we got to 98% efficiency, going from there to 99% would nearly double the brightness that you could fit in a given size.
Power input isn’t a problem at all, by contrast. A tabless 21700 can do 70A continuously without breaking a sweat, which is over 250W, and that’s with a 5Ah cell, which is plenty of capacity. A 6Ah cell can do about 10A, and that’s plenty for basically any single-cell light out there.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
The highest I’m seeing for wall-plug efficiency (i.e. the percentage of the consumed electricity that’s released as light rather than heat) is 83.2%, and that’s for red LEDs. For anything you’d want to use for general-purpose lighting, the number is much lower.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
LEDs produce about half their input energy in heat, with the other half being light. Incandescent bulbs output about 90% as heat and 10% as light.
- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 1 month ago:
I am a fan of using LLMs specifically to imitate the VAs on demand to pronounce character names. They’re generally good enough that a single word can blend in, and you have a couple minutes during the opening cutscene to run the computation. Just having all of the characters never say the custom player name and instead address them in the second person or with a title is a bit jarring

“Successfully replicated the findings of Miller, et al, 1962 that dropping the test tube on the way to the spectroscopy machine makes the custodial staff annoyed with you”

That’s one guy, and he isn’t exactly popular. If Sir Keith were the only one over there who talked funny, we wouldn’t clown on you guys so much.
