- Comment on Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive 2 weeks ago:
It seems that the Nvidia CEO isn’t the only one investing in AI tokens for his employees to freely use
AFAIK, Nvidia employees aren’t paying for the tokens they use out of their own pockets, although it’s certainly beneficial to Nvidia in multiple ways if their own employees are making heavy use of AI.

- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t see the “says their time is over” part anywhere that he allegedly said. Guy’s still a piece of shit, but not seeing anything out of line he said in this specific instance.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I had like 10 repos and nothing of much value in the DB, so it was quick to create the repos and push them up.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 3 weeks ago:
In addition to not trusting the privacy of stock firmware, OpenWRT provides a lot of useful features for self-hosting like local DNS for your services and a feature-rich firewall to, for example, block devices you don’t trust from phoning home.

- Comment on Lawn mowers make great but usually impractical fart silencers. 3 weeks ago:
I recently discovered that blowing into a plastic tube (like aquarium tubing) with the other end placed under the armpit, or better yet, the kneepit, makes a realistic fart sound. Try rubbing some water on your skin first for a better effect.
- Comment on YSK What are you eating 3 weeks ago:
Lately, I have been buying less from the corporate grocery store in my neighborhood and more locally produced foods. When I do go to the store, I’m picky about what I buy. Even so, a lot of the food sold here in the US is still toxic. For example, I’ve been buying imported Italian flour, because grains grown here are soaked in glyphosate. There is even research suggesting gluten allergies could actually be due to glyphosate: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/

- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 3 weeks ago:
I gladly more for my local fiber connection than it would cost for Xfinity. Fuck these greedy corporate shithead monopolies with their shitty service. I’ll pay whatever it costs to support a local company instead.

- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure it’s true that a lot of marketing departments are useless, but adept at marketing themselves. At the same time, you’re right that marketing also can and does work, and the marketing that works best is when you’re not even conscious of it. For example, most of us here are well-aware of the upcoming Steam Frame and Steam Machine. How so? Marketing.
- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 4 weeks ago:
the thing that marketing departments are best at is marketing their own importance to company management
That’s quite an interesting insight.

Yes, and no. For example, my Samsung TV makes me wait while it tries to recognize whatever I have plugged into the HDMI port. Annoying as hell.

- Comment on Reverse centaurs are the answer to the AI paradox: Not what the machine does, but who it does it to. 4 weeks ago:
The intention is to describe humans serving machines instead of machines serving humans. The term centaur doesn’t necessarily describe servitude and there’s probably a better term that is more apt and more readily understood.
