It’d look better. Even with the struts out.
- Comment on Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck Parts 1 year ago:
10 micron tolerance is rather impressive for a mashed potato sculpture.
I’m sure he did pretend it was, though.
- Comment on Bots are better than humans at cracking ‘Are you a robot?’ Captcha tests, study finds 1 year ago:
“Please complete the next 200 captchas so we can have a reasonably accurate estimate of your success rate”

Peer reviewing is how you know the methodology is not flawed…
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
Ōkami.
Well, she’s a wolf, but she’s the Sun Goddess too.
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 1 year ago:
Yeah, floppy without the case was my immediate guess too. Not sure why they would have been stored this way though.
- Comment on Worldcoin's official launch triggers swift privacy scrutiny in Europe | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
Funny that of all countries they could have used to launch that, 3 out of 4 are in the European Union.
They couldn’t choose a better place if they wanted privacy protection regulations to kick in and start asking embarrassing questions to them.
- Comment on After Raising $235K, Abode Remains Committed to Taking on Adobe 1 year ago:
Oh, it’s that guy. The “Semple vs Kapoor” stuff was funny.
Before I recognized who was doing “abode” I was going to say that name was just asking for trouble, but yeah, he knew what he was doing.
- Comment on Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints 1 year ago:
Yeah. I swear, Musk has a superpower that makes people dumber.
- Comment on Topless Florence Pugh Scene in ‘Oppenheimer’ Digitally Censored (With a CGI Black Dress) in Middle East, India 1 year ago:
Of course, we just need to get rid of those pesky female-presenting nipples, after all.
- Comment on Topless Florence Pugh Scene in ‘Oppenheimer’ Digitally Censored (With a CGI Black Dress) in Middle East, India 1 year ago:
Unfortunately they only had Cats CGI experts, best they could do was removing assholes and make hands furry.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I didn’t expect there to be an officially supported community repository too. Interesting.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Count me in the people who had no idea windows had a command line package manager-style tool.
Does it look for its stuff in the windows store?
- Comment on Deepfake lip syncs video to edit out profanity, match translation 1 year ago:
Are you sure they’re not just decent dubs? Non English-speaking countries have been used to synced dubs forever.
This is why adapting (well) for dubs is way more complicated than just translating dialogues. You have to find an equivalent line that matches visible mouth movements.
- Comment on Uncharted territory: do AI girlfriend apps promote unhealthy expectations for human relationships? 1 year ago:
It is.
Sarah Z made a video where she gets into some of the darker parts of Replika’s concept and evolution. It’s a fairly stinky business model.
- Comment on Pentagon AI more ethical than adversaries’ because of ‘Judeo-Christian society,’ USAF general says 1 year ago:
That doesn’t sit right with me. It sounds to me, in that moment, like they’re implying that people from other cultures could be less moral, and that we should be willing to be more free with our weapons towards such people.
This is, unfortunately, how many, many very religious people think. And it’s not only insulting for everyone not following their beliefs, but also terrifying in my opinion.
People who believe their god is the only thing that makes them moral aren’t really moral. Because then they never consider why it’s important to, you know, not be an asshole. It’s just compliance.
And the terrifying part is that since their only frame of reference regarding what “good” is would be whatever their religion dictates, it’s always on the verge of breaking completely. You just need to listen to the wrong interpretation at the wrong moment in your life.
- Comment on Why do developers keep adding virtual cursors to console games? 1 year ago:
No Man’s Sky’s UI is almost entirely through cursors, drag and drop etc.
Even choosing between a couple dialog options used to require moving a pointer over buttons but they finally fixed that at some point. Now with a controller you can just select the answers right away.
- Comment on The ‘90s Internet: When 20 hours online triggered an email from my ISP’s president 1 year ago:
You’ve unlocked some deeply buried memory there.
I remember I used that not so much to “accelerate” downloads but mostly because it let me download stuff in multiple sessions, instead of trying to do it in my browser and lose everything because of a lost connection.
Hours to download a few tens of MB, interesting times.
