There’s a story here that I’m not sure I wanna know.

Because they would be useless in the back?
- Comment on Many smaller drivers or fewer larger drives? 2 weeks ago:
And more chances of failure. The benefit is less time to repair a RAID set

Me and a coworker got a couple. Seems almost too good to be true. Going to try to use these on a couple of Dell machines without idracs at work.

- Comment on An old ad for the Wavebird controller for Gamecube 2 months ago:
I think that was Destin Sandlin from “Smarter Every Day” but yes I bet that would work. Although it might have some deleterious side effects like the inverted glasses experiment (see George Stratton and Dr. Alyssa Brewer)… nothing permanent since they were glasses that could be removed. This would be a very interesting experiment though if it hasn’t been done.
Or being the tinkerer I am I’d probably just figure out how to rewire the control to do it. Not that that would be super easy mind you.
- Comment on An old ad for the Wavebird controller for Gamecube 2 months ago:
You swap the left/right controls on the controller. Or game settings.
I have no idea if that would work but it sounds good and dammit now I wanna try it.

Oh that’s very true and just weird.

Was it “The Damned Trilogy” by Alan Dean Foster by any chance?
- Comment on The amount of people your age is only going down with time. 2 months ago:
I mean this makes sense. It’s not unlike trying to grow your hair long. If one falls out it’s not like the new growth is going to be that long immediately.
So if someone my age dies, it’s not like a new 53 yo dude just pops into existence.
But yes still kinda depressing
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 2 months ago:
Don’t you still see this when using an OTA ATSC tuner on a newer LCD display? I thought this was a function of the signal generation and not the display technologies.

Honestly as infrequently as I turn my machines off this really doesn’t bother me. The mouse on the other hand….
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
There are people way smarter than me that claim it will be a threshold and would likely grow exponentially after it’s crossed. I guess we won’t know for sure until it happens. I do agree most people get bored easily but if this thing is possible to think for itself without interaction it won’t matter if the humans get bored.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
Very likely. But 4 years ago I would have said we weren’t close to what these LLMs can do now so who knows.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
You’re absolutely right. LLMs are good at faking language and sometimes not even great at that. Not sure why I got downvoted but oh well. But AGI will be game changing if it happens.

I have lots of uses for Attack Insects….
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
Yep the current iteration is. But should we cross the threshold to full AGI… that’s either gonna be awesome or world ending. Not sure which.

Can you imagine if you were leaving anyway and had another job already lined up and this douche bag offered you six months salary to do what you were already going to do? I should be so lucky.
