- Comment on doctors 3 days ago:
That depends on the surgery. Gastric bypass notoriously has weight requirements, but a gallbladder removal can still kill you if you’re too fat.
- Comment on Musk’s Colossus is fully operational with 200,000 GPUs backed by Tesla batteries — Phase 2 to consume 300 MW, enough to power 300,000 homes 6 days ago:
300 MW isn’t enough to power 300k homes, that’s only 1 kW/home. A microwave alone uses that, let alone a refrigerator. A single space heater is 1.5 kW.
- Comment on Using Roman numerals made this so much easier 1 week ago:
I feel like this is one of the few communities not dedicated to AI where that shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a shitpost, it’ssupposed to be low-effort and kind of bad.

Take the adapter off, moron.
- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 1 week ago:
Similarly, e.g. two bi men getting married is a gay wedding, even though neither party is gay. The relationship can be described independently of the people in it.

Until it falsely alerts on someone they don’t like, and then they’ll beat the shit out of that person.

Making fun of Zuck and his chatbots is a good way to bond with friends.
- Comment on The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025 1 week ago:
De jure, the restaurant has to make the difference up if they make less than minimum wage after tips. De facto, wage theft is about twice as much as all other forms of theft combined.

Trump on a streak of rare Ws. No more pennies and kicking Poilievre out of the Canadian Parliament.

Internal hex and Robertson are both better than Philips. Only slotted is worse. Pozidriv is also slightly better than Philips.

A reasonable person would not believe that that was made by the Presidents, though.

Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Kirby…
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 3 weeks ago:
I tried a pair of earbuds with the same idea from AliExpress. They had the regular controls, but also worked as e.g. a camera remote. Very cool if it had done anything it was supposed to do consistently, but unfortunately it was not well-implemented. If the AirPods Pro 3 (which I was already strongly considering) have a case with a screen that isn’t much larger than the Pro 2 case, I’ll probably buy that model.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 3 weeks ago:
I’ve met people who had enough but not too much. Never hurting for money, one vacation a year out of state but not out of the country, bought cars new but drove them for decades.

Trickle-down estradiol
- Comment on Data centers contain 90% crap data 5 weeks ago:
People have tried to politely call attention to the climate crisis for decades. They were ignored. Sometimes, you have to be chaotic to get noticed.
- Comment on Data centers contain 90% crap data 5 weeks ago:
Thunberg’s solution has always been “listen to the experts who have been screaming at you for 50 years.” You don’t have to be an expert to care about things or to want to listen to people who are experts.

USB4v2 can do 80Gbps and 240W.

They fixed it.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 5 weeks ago:
In this case, Microsoft does own the IP (it bought Bethesda after Bethesda bought id), so they definitely didn’t legally steal it.
- Comment on Earn $20K EVERY MONTH by being your own boss 5 weeks ago:
The video works best if you play it straight, but it also looks like spam if you play it straight, so it’s hard to introduce to strangers who don’t know of BDG. You might have to share a playlist that starts with “Teaching Jake about the camcorder, Jan '97” or “Just One Day - 2winz^2 (Official Video)” to ease them into it.
- Comment on Intel Unison allowed Android and iOS to connect to Windows, now it's shutting down 5 weeks ago:
It’s even better if you’re running KDE. Only so much they can do with a Windows program.
- Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design. And he didn’t even wear it to the venue. 1 month ago:
He should file a chargeback. What are they going to do, ban him for another lifetime?
- Comment on Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections] 1 month ago:
A W/h either is a big problem or will be soon.
- Comment on Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s 1 month ago:
Agreed. I’d happily settle for 1GB/s, maybe even less, if I could get the random seek times, power usage, durability, and density of SSDs without paying through the nose.
- Comment on Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s 1 month ago:
which flash memory kinda sucks at.
Au contraire, flash is amazing at random R/W compared to all previous non-volatile technologies. The fastest hard drives can do what, 4MB/s with 4k sectors, assuming a quarter rotation per random seek? And that’s still fantastic compared to optical media, which in turn is way better than tape.
Obviously, volatile memory like SDRAM puts it to shame, but I’m a pretty big fan of being able to reboot.
- Comment on Chinese SSD Manufacturer UNIS Flash Memory Unveils World’s Fastest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Featuring Speeds of Up To 14,900 MB/s 1 month ago:
15 GB/s is about on par with DDR3-1866. High-end DDR5 caa do well over triple that.
And that’s not to mention the latency, which is the real point of RAM.
