- Comment on Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics 1 day ago:
Most of the stories are about how the laws don’t work and how to circumvent them, yes.
- Comment on I meant to do that 2 days ago:
I got confused for a second by the use of km/h because here in Europe everyone knows the white vans with ladders on top (or work vans in general) are driving at warp speed and do not give a fuck. You might be flying down the autobahns at 200km/h there’s still gonna be a van behind you flashing its lights telling you to move over so they can pass.
- Comment on It’s the little things 2 days ago:
So it would actually be more practical, don’t need to mop it up if it evaporates.
- Comment on Day 363 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 days ago:
Can’t believe you’ve been doing these for nearly a year! Are you gonna keep going after the anniversary?
- Comment on Really?! 1 week ago:
Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!

Shhh just let it happen.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s not quite the same if you decided it, and can leave or connect to the internet at any moment.
- Comment on What are the games you played in your youth that you still play today? 2 weeks ago:
I tried retail again last year in a similar way, they’ve actually built so much mechanics now to catch up. But it still felt like a massive task to catch up to actual active players. Private server is a good shout, I’ll take a look next time I get the itch.
- Comment on What are the games you played in your youth that you still play today? 2 weeks ago:
If I could I’d still be playing wow but it’s just not the same without the plentiful free time for it.
- Comment on Oh to go back... 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a home made and personal distinction but basically for me pop-punk is reserved for the ones I don’t like haha. It has a negative side so I needed another term for the (admittedly) pop punk bands that I do like. Again you’re probably right, that’s just the way I do it internally. And I just use it to describe the sound, Millencollin for example is Swedish. Also there’s bands like bad religion that still kinda have that sound but I wouldn’t dare classify them under “pop”, I’m sure NOFX would take an issue with it too, etc.
- Comment on Oh to go back... 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never stopped listening to “Cali punk” so I’m good to go (I don’t care if green day is really from California or not, that’s what I call the happy poppy punk that’s not crusty enough to be called punk without a qualifier: NOFX, Offspring, Blink 182, Millencollin, etc etc).

I love that one. I’m right in thinking it’s specifically tap water, right? (As in the water provided by the council, you wouldn’t use it for Evian or whatever).

Or watched jackass.

I’ve seen that a bit in southern France. Seemed to work great, the lot was nice and fresh even in the scorching heat.

Imagine industrial revolution Roman Empire, thank fuck they didn’t connect the dots.

- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 5 weeks ago:
When’s the last time of these sky rats swung someone into a wall though. I’d say that counts for at least 5 chips.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 5 weeks ago:
Yes it’s the right long term goal, but the US is nowhere near ready for strong nationalised enterprises, they would just stop getting funding and die. There is a requirement for strong, positive minded government and a shared understanding of the benefits of having nationalised societal services before it can work.
- Comment on why do some people put a space before a question mark or exclamation point? 1 month ago:
I think the point virgule depends if you’re from France or Québec. I learned it with no space before it and seems this table confirms that. This similar one from a Quebec source seems to be saying you can do either.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 1 month ago:
Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn’t feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don’t coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it’s quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it’s not real one pedal).
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 1 month ago:
I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 1 month ago:
Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it’s Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it’s not a real “one pedal driving”.

It shows me having given a ton of downvotes I didn’t give, on comments I only read and didn’t up or down-vote.
- Comment on If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this 1 month ago:
I just mean that in normal life, how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them? I can probably count that on one hand and I’m more exactly a youngun either. In movies it feels like every other phone call ended that way haha.
- Comment on LinkedIn lays off 281 workers in California, including many Bay Area engineers 1 month ago:
This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).
All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.
- Comment on If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this 1 month ago:
I feel like this was more one of these movie things that don’t happen nearly as often in real life.
- Comment on The city is so lively 1 month ago:
As a non-parisian French I’ve hated it my whole life but even I need to admit I’m recent years it’s been transforming for the better.

No such thing as too much butter.
