Yeah, I personally noticed when there was this whole Thai cave saga, but I’m sure there were signs for decades before that.
- Comment on leading ai company 2 days ago:
He’s really done a great job at dispelling this image he had of being done kind of genius in the last couple of years.
- Comment on Is the whole DC "cleanup" pointless? 2 days ago:
Or do something about the root causes of crime. Sure, there’s like a minority of sociopaths that will choose a life of crime no matter what, but the majority of it can be avoided by stuff like investments in education, jobs with good pay and safe third places for youth. But all those things are woke and it can take years for the benefits to show, so governments aren’t doing those things.

Not to mention, the app is just the thing that calls the API to the server that runs the actual models, it’s not a reflection on how quickly you’re improving those models. In fact, there should be little reason to push a new app update once you’ve built it.
- Comment on The average age of Disney princesses is 505y. 3 days ago:
Oof, yeah, that’s definitely something that will need to be looked at when cryotech starts being a thing.

Also, once you finish your filesystem, don’t murder your wife or otherwise people will stop using it.
- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 2 weeks ago:
There’s also ways to support ext3-4 on windows as well. And FUSE is also very interesting as it shows you what kind of esoteric stuff can be mapped onto a fake file system.
- Comment on Coordinated network amplifies child sex abuse on X, researchers warn 2 weeks ago:
Presumably the other ones are still working themselves through the courts.
- Comment on Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’ 2 weeks ago:
If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it’s only fair they fall under that same model.
- Comment on California slave labor: Jailed pre-trial detainees work for private firm—for nothing 2 weeks ago:
Yep, they should have standing to sue for constitutional violations. It’s slavery even by the standards laid out by the constitution.
- Comment on ‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI 3 weeks ago:
Except those prompts are retained by OpenAI, and you don’t know who’s got access to that. They’ve had chats leak before.
- Comment on Trump to build huge $200mn ballroom at White House 3 weeks ago:
I’m just thinking there’s no way he’d build something like that if he wasn’t sure he’d still be President past his term.
- Comment on I didn't know that they have something in common... 5 weeks ago:
In guessing it’s an allusion on the former only.
- Comment on Pensioner robbed of $1,338 is taking NAB to court for millions 1 month ago:
I see, interesting. Thanks for doing the research.
- Comment on Pensioner robbed of $1,338 is taking NAB to court for millions 1 month ago:
Is this math based on any logic within the law? Typically you should just sue for the damages you sustained + costs, I don’t see how the fact that the bank has a lot of money would change that, unless there’s some kind of law prescribing this?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You need compact explosives to effectively deliver by drone. The attacks you mentioned will typically use the homemade stuff that use fertiliser and is less compact (which is easier to deliver by van, as shown by Breivik and the guy that did the Oklahoma bombing).
- Comment on Musk's AI firm deletes posts after chatbot praises Hitler 1 month ago:
Is he even trying to escape them? He’s been pretty clear about his opinions on Jews and the like.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Really depends on what data it is and whether you want to search it regularly or just as a one time thing.
You could load them into an rdbms (MySQL/Postgres) and have it handle the indexing, or use python tools to process the files.
If it’s just a one time thing grep is probably fine tho.
- Comment on NSW to ban people from appealing if working with children check denied 1 month ago:
I mean, they ran through a bunch of terror laws based on the explosive caravan hoax, and nobody’s talking about repealing those despite that.
For the child care stuff, the only things that I’ve heard that make sense are exchanging information between states so someone can’t just hop over the border to continue working with children (something proposed a decade ago after a previous royal commission), and having 2 pairs of eyes on the kids at any time. Everything else seems counterproductive.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 1 month ago:
I mean, on a Linux system that’s not riddled with flatpak / snap / … You’d basically only need to update libpng and you’d be good.
- Comment on Israel | Settlers attempt to break into army base after 14-year-old possibly shot by IDF 1 month ago:
I’m convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There’s the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival.
- Comment on Israel | Settlers attempt to break into army base after 14-year-old possibly shot by IDF 1 month ago:
Yep, apparently ‘the air’ is code for ‘a Palestinian’ if used in the context of shooting at something. In Gaza they’re killing scores of people at food distribution sites with ‘warning shots’.
- Comment on IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid 1 month ago:
It was clear that that was happening, but it’s a good thing soldiers themselves are coming forward and confirming it.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 2 months ago:
Because she was always a grifter.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 2 months ago:
Well, she now claims that that’s not what she said.
- Comment on BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range 2 months ago:
Yeah, I still have the ICE car because when I bought it I wasn’t in a position to charge at home, and electric cars were expensive ( like $100k+ fora second hand Model S).
But yeah, now I have a garage and there’s a ton of affordable cars coming out of China.
- Comment on BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range 2 months ago:
Yeah, I currently still have a petrol car, but I feel like an electric car would work out better with my current usage. I basically never do long trips, so every month or so I have to go out of my way to fill it up. If I had an electric car I could just plug it in at home, and if I was feeling fancy I could even set the charger up to only charge with excess solar so it would be completely free.
And finding a charger on a long trip and stretching your legs for about 20 minutes definitely seems better than stopping at a stinky petrol station.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s definitely true for imperialist countries like Israel, the US and Russia.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 months ago:
I mean, that’s not really surprising. Every military makes plans for any contingency, and Israel especially has always been paranoid about Iran’s nuclear programme, so of course they would make sure they’re tracking the scientists in case they needed to make a move.
The disgusting part is them just pulling the trigger for political reasons instead of actual intelligence that indicates a breakout.
- Comment on BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range 2 months ago:
The existing range was already good enough for most. I feel like you could read this as they could build a car with the same range with only half the battery pack, which saves on cost and weight.
