  Price definitely seems high, but at least it’s a decent meal for kids. Nice variety of things; most places around where I live just have a tiny portion of a single dish as the kids’ options.

  Especially if they’d help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50

  In a hypothetical world where every service that wanted to be kid-friendly was willing to make two versions of their site, and where the obvious security concerns were solved, and where it could somehow be quarantined away from normal users, how would a kid even prove they were a kid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Jersey Sues Messaging App “Discord” for Unlawful Practices That Expose Kids to Child Predators and Violent, Sexual Content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue (in my eyes) is that this isn’t limited to discord. Anywhere online where kids are allowed to be, predators can also be. Fuck, even Roblox apparently has a big predator problem. So if we make it the responsibility of platforms to police, we’re setting ourselves up for a world where you have to have your ID ready to scan in to any website you visit or service you use that lets you interact with other people in any way, no matter how mundane, and there will be no internet services where anyone under 18 is allowed.

  Or, we just accept that there’s no reasonable way to keep adults and kids from intermingling, and we make it parents’ sole responsibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Jersey Sues Messaging App “Discord” for Unlawful Practices That Expose Kids to Child Predators and Violent, Sexual Content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have that policy, as the article notes. The problem is, how do you enforce it? As the comment you replied to notes, without requiring an ID verification, anyone can say they’re any age.

  At what point does it become the parents’ responsibility to monitor what their kids are doing online?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Jersey Sues Messaging App “Discord” for Unlawful Practices That Expose Kids to Child Predators and Violent, Sexual Content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Changing what policy, and to what?

  Got to have some safety net in place in case the courts erroneously decide to rule in favor of the poors on occasion.

  Presidents pardoning corporations is such a fucked precedent, I don’t even

  That’s a good point; it becomes less economical if you need multiple of these cells just to counteract the self-discharge. Even so, it’s really just a demo of the technology; they do mention they expect to have a 1 watt model later this year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost nothing… Maybe some very basic scientific equipment, but they do note that they’d be able to use multiple batteries layered to produce higher output, and that they’re expecting to have a 1 watt version later this year; that’d be far more useful in practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coin-sized nuclear 3V battery with 50-year lifespan enters mass production⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is wild; the battery would outlive the electronics it’s powering in almost all cases.

  The output is incredibly tiny, but I wonder if it could be used to trickle-charge a higher-output battery for use in electronics that only need to be used infrequently for short durations.

  I think the trailer and Steam page makes it pretty clear that this isn’t just aimed at furries. Not that furries won’t jump on it - we will, but it’s not just for furries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was supposed to pick him up from preschool today? Whoops.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Checks out, that’s about what a house cost in 1979.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was supposed to pick him up from preschool today? Whoops.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $14.99 in 1979? Christ. You could just about buy a house for that.

  Isn’t that basically just a modem?

  9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Late 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which sounds worse:

  • From the late 1900s
  • From last century

  Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we need a common enemy for people to get along then society has already failed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the underlying plot of plenty of movies. The prevailing solution is to find something other than each other to be our unifying enemy.

  Conclusion: Hopefully we get attacked by aliens or something.

  The organ? Or did the church you visited have something else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d much rather someone who actually needs the money enough to pick up small change to take them than for them to just sit there. If someone’s desperate enough to fish coins out of a fountain for a few dollars, they can absolutely have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video begins an AI dubbing pilot program on licensed movies and series.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m convinced that the problem with AI isn’t its existence or uses, it’s just that we don’t have UBI to go along with it. It’s the obvious step, but we’re skipping it because capitalism. I don’t think anyone would care if all of the menial jobs were done by AI, as long as they didn’t need those jobs for basic necessities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video begins an AI dubbing pilot program on licensed movies and series.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that actually what this is about, though? The article specifically says:

  Prime Video will begin offering AI-aided dubbing on licensed movies and series that would not have been dubbed otherwise.

  Obviously they might be misrepresenting the situation, but it doesn’t sound like “They were previously having employees do this and are switching to using AI”; it sounds like “This was not previously being done at all and is now being done by AI”.

  There’s a few choice people who I wouldn’t mind preserving it for, just for a little while, though there’s a more appropriate method than a firing squad, and they don’t live in Idaho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video begins an AI dubbing pilot program on licensed movies and series.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess AI is really gonna replace a lot of people jobs by the end of 2025…

  I’m kind of torn on this. On one hand, if this starts getting used instead of traditional dubbing with an actual translator, that sucks. I’m sure the quality won’t be as good, at least initially, and the whole “AI taking jobs” thing sucks. (If we had UBI, it wouldn’t be an issue at all, for the record.)

  On the other hand, if it’s used to add dubs to shows that didn’t have them at all / would not have had them at all, that seems like a fine use for AI. I don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s time sensitive - she needs someone to fill this position right now. If it’s so time sensitive, she might be willing to pay more than she normally would to get someone to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like she put her cards on the table and gave you a nice bargaining chip when it comes time to discuss compensation.
