- Comment on OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI 1 day ago:
Was t that the dot-com bubble, too, though? “Get bought by Google” was the plan for so many companies, they had no plans for profitability.
- Comment on You Can't Trust the Internet Anymore 2 days ago:
Off topic - on Voyager on iOS, and the thumbnail is upside-down? Anybody else?
- Comment on ‘Misanthropic And Evil’: Musk Rails Against Anthropic After Its $30 Billion Fundraise 3 days ago:
Dude, they didn’t care that their orange God killed an extra 600,000 ‘muricans. Why should they care about half a million brown people, kids or not?
- Comment on Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash 4 days ago:
I have no doubt Google mesh is for the exact same reason
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 5 days ago:
Boogers. It’s when you realize you can smell boogers.
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft’s 2027 Xbox could be a huge shift for the platform 1 week ago:
I find it far more likely it’ll be the dumbest terminal possible, connecting to GPUs in windows cloud and therefore mandating a subscription for it to do anything whatsoever. It also incidentally gives them a fallback when the AI bubble pops and they’re sitting on acres of unused PCs
- Comment on Can anyone help me decipher the words in Those Who Ride With Giants' track The Knocking Lord? 1 week ago:
Have you tried emailing them? There’s a contact link on their site, thosewhoridewithgiants.com
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 1 week ago:
Some email programs did that, especially when there was special formatting involved. I seem to recall Thunderbird doing it in the past, as well as outlook.
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 2 weeks ago:
It still hallucinates MSSQL functions, so I wouldn’t assume it will be great at .Net
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 2 weeks ago:
Wicking everything. 32 cool makes wicking underwear, there’s a wicking sweatband with a silicone band to keep it out of your eyes (and something called a gutter that is JUST the silicone band that routes it down the side.
Form fitting wicking undershirts - The more body contact, the better, since you wanted to grab every bit of moisture and wicked away from your skin. But in my case, the sweat drips from my head to the sweat band, goes from the sweat band down to the back of the sweat band, which winds up touching the back of my wicking shirt, which winds up soaking it up, and then the wicking shirt absorbs a bunch of moisture off of me, and then the underwear also soaks up a bunch of the moisture
Now, the problem you’re going to run into is everything is going to try and drip down that clothing to your shoes, and that I don’t have an answer for - but I know the stationary bikes have a fan and I wonder how much air that moves. But maybe you tuck a towel in near the shorts level and that soaks it up, and immediately afterwards it gets washed?
- Comment on How would you spell the sound Transformers make when they transform? 2 weeks ago:
Wonder if there’s a book/novelization, since that would be canon.
- Comment on Real and True 3 weeks ago:
Yup. But both are more difficult to use in practice, and I’ve been on enough calls where the person shares their entire 40” ultra-wide, to encourage it. I run with three monitors, and replacing any of them is trivial. The biggest problem is the KVM, and that’s ~$200.
- Comment on Real and True 3 weeks ago:
Easier to move windows around using the windows+arrow keys this way. Easier to share screen this way. Easier to switch context this way.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 3 weeks ago:
The question is for companies like Ubisoft and EA which usually design games for what PCs are going to be when a game comes out. And since the games industry was bigger than the movies industry before it collapsed due to Covid, what’s that going to do to the economy?
- Comment on Pixlpal is more than just a screen 3 weeks ago:
I saw this use-case and was immediately interested. This hangs near my front door so I know what’s coming. This particular one has some limitations, but I think the low-res nature of this class forces some nice design decisions.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 3 weeks ago:
If you can see it’s a salesperson you can ignore them but answer if it’s the mailman/UPS. Get notified that a package was dropped off… or that shortly thereafter some rando walks up to said package.
Think of it as a door-peephole-at-range.
- Comment on See for yourself just how massive Meta’s Hyperion data center is 3 weeks ago:
Depends. Normally yes (I’ve been in data centers like you’re talking about), but because it’s likely using GPUs for the LLM it’s probably considerably louder. Closer to this, which is a crypto mine: theweek.com/…/the-noise-of-bitcoin-mining-is-driv…
- Comment on Seems like Trump waited for winter to escalate his ICE agenda but why did he go after Minnesota? People who are completely acclimated to frigid weather. 4 weeks ago:
Because he figured they wouldn’t care and wouldn’t put up resistance
- Comment on Are headphones like VR goggles for blind people? 4 weeks ago:
Think of the difference between VR and a normal TV. Same thing with positional audio/7.1 headphones/binaural vs regular headphones
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 4 weeks ago:
It’s effing hard. Doubled the numbers on one community after a year. Both of us are a bit depressed by that.
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 4 weeks ago:
There are hundreds of us. Maybe thousands!
- Comment on New study shows Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed to achieve full neurological recovery—not just prevented or slowed—in animal models 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, just see the headline and the link to that site, that’s it. At least on Voyager.
- Comment on New study shows Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed to achieve full neurological recovery—not just prevented or slowed—in animal models 4 weeks ago:
Okay… mind sharing whatever is linked in there? Is it just the earlier story?
- Comment on New study shows Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed to achieve full neurological recovery—not just prevented or slowed—in animal models 4 weeks ago:
Kind of what I was figuring, but wasn’t sure if it had different info. Thanks!
- Comment on New study shows Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed to achieve full neurological recovery—not just prevented or slowed—in animal models 4 weeks ago:
Anybody got an account on whatever fedia.io is?
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 weeks ago:
The next Bandcamp Friday is Feb 6 (Bandcamp foregoes their cut).
- Comment on A black metal band that uses toddlers-having-tantrums as vocalists 5 weeks ago:
It was that end credit when I realized it wasn’t real.
And therefore you get this: youtu.be/e4Br7vvebFI
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 5 weeks ago:
Zenni. Have your doc write a scrip for standalone monitor glasses and have them fill that. (Had bad luck with Zenni doing progressives, but a simple reader prescription? $20)
- Comment on A black metal band that uses toddlers-having-tantrums as vocalists 5 weeks ago:
Roosters can do cyclical breathing?
- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 5 weeks ago:
Looks more like bad design unless there’s a ton of other cables or if some of your cords/cables are in loops. I just checked my amp/preamp, and surprisingly they’re not using grounded plugs either, and it’s fairly high-end gear.
Only other thoughts:
- plugging directly into the wall if you’re plugged into a surge protector, or plugging into a Surge protector if you are plugged into the wall.
- I would also try moving the volume up and down a little bit because I’ve seen gear where that caused hum issues (god knows why).
- try plugging in a source in case they’re somehow using the connectivity to other gear to provide the grounding (grasping at straws here).
Unfortunately, it’s been long enough since I’ve dealt with ground hum issues that the I’ve forgotten all the tricks. :( You might need to find an audiophile group. Because even cheap-ass gear shouldn’t do that.
