My parents weren’t even born in the 50s, no that does feel recent
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is Over 8 hours ago:
It’s not even new stuff. Last I had looked (a couple years ago) it would show me friendss posts from last week with no sign of anything new, and I knew they had posted newer things than that. It was completely unusable. I’d see the same stale old posts for days
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 9 hours ago:
The existence of officials looking for infractions in the few rules that they do have does not mean that overall they don’t have a looser set of rules compared to head to head competitive games. Like I said before, there often isn’t even a turn order for these events. You make your number of attempts over a long period of time and then are done.
I wouldn’t call those events “play” either. No one is really having fun riding a heavy stone multiple times. They might feel accomplished afterwards. But they aren’t engaging in play. And I still say it’s not a sport. You busting out a tautological oxford definition doesn’t really help anything.

Nah. Those aren’t games. The rules are often quite loose. You’re often not even directly competing with anyone else. Like, one person acts, and later another person acts and the results are compared. Your opponent’s actions don’t affect your results. Those field events don’t even necessarily have a set order to act on… people just wander in and out making their attempts, it’s mostly them competing with themselves.
You could run a race asynchronously as well, but time constraints prevent that.
Games have action, AND reaction. They have strategy. Throw things harder isn’t a strategy. Run faster longer isn’t a strategy.
- Comment on Even the U.S. Government Says AI Requires Massive Amounts of Water 1 day ago:
I’ve never seen any of these articles explain what this means. How is generative AI “using up” water. When a search uses a liter or whatever of water, what is happening to this water?
Every time that happens, a little more water is burned and a little more carbon is released.
This is just nonsense that makes me think the author doesn’t know either.
Water is often used in cooling servers. But it’s contained and reused. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s the vehicle to move heat from the servers to wherever else. All these doomsday AI articles act like water is being lost permanently due to the use of these servers. Even if the water was escaping the closed system…did no one pay attention to the water cycle unit in grade school?!

You can avoid these kind of spoilers without much difficulty.
I still don’t even know what game he was playing when he got caught.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 day ago:
Track and field events are not games.
Gymnastics or any kind of event involving a choreographed routine. Diving. Really any kind of race.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 2 days ago:
There’s never a point in playing a game if you can’t beat it the same day it is released, by that stupid argument.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 2 days ago:
If he didn’t sign an NDA, then this sounds like a bullshit suit.

All sports are games. Not all athletic competitions are sports.

Everyone else but you seems to get it. It wasn’t subtle.

When I said “they are not in school yet” I was referring to my Gen A’s specifically. The ones you didn’t get were part of the joke that flew over your head.
You’d think someone trying to insult others about being able to read would have better reading comprehension skills.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 1 week ago:
And some are still 1. Like they just marked the ending delineation a couple months ago.
Don’t get mad at me because you made a bad assumption while trying to insult other people’s intelligence. Over an obvious joke.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 1 week ago:
It’s a joke, bro. They’re not in school yet.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 1 week ago:
Yeah,.my Gen A kids can’t read at all. They only know half their letters…shameful

Yes, I read that. It did not clarify what I was asking.

Does total include the Old Spend?..and what is Package Only? None of these numbers seem to add up to each other. Or are they also separate.
Also what lazy dev just posted the query column names instead of decoding them for the end user

He wants to steal everyone’s ideas to train an AI. But not get sued for it.
Abolishing IP law entirely is stupid.

Why do you even care? Some of them still have living relatives from the old country.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 1 week ago:
Because they’re both predominantly Catholic communities…
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 2 weeks ago:
No one is claiming a nationality. They’re claiming an ethnicity, a heritage. You being hung up on this distinction is on you. Not the people you go out of your way to misinterpret.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it often involves being Catholic and having massive families
