- Comment on AI Job Fears Hit Peak Hype While Reality Lags Behind 2 weeks ago:
I’m having a thought now.
Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?
- Comment on Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather. 2 weeks ago:
This is probably why cold water taste so good. It’s natural selection.
There is so many diseases carried in water so there is no doubt that people doing extra effort to get that nice crispy water from the spring will survive longer that people getting warm water from the nearest water body.

I disagree, using Latin terms means that all technical terms stay the same across languages.

- Comment on Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology" 4 weeks ago:
Not a YouTube channel unfortunately but there are several videos and documentaries about it.
The castle of Guedelon is exactly what you are describing.
In France a group of archeologists decided to build a full castle, from scratch pretending to be in the XIIth century.
A blacksmith is making the tools, they are chopping trees in the first forest around, extracting stones from a local carry, carrying on carts built by the Carpenter, making their own clothes …
It’s amazing !

- Comment on YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle 5 weeks ago:
Yes, this is the first thing I’m doing when subscribing to a trial. As soon as I’m subscribed I immediately cancel so I don’t forget and I use the service for the trial period.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 month ago:
Journey
There is not a single word in the game, barely any control but the game take you through an emotional story.
It’s multiplayer in a sense that you might meet another player, they can help you, you can help them or just continue on your path and despite not having any words it just fell like a genuine, pure connection with someone.
And the music is amazing.
- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 2 months ago:
It’s not just for my home server but for EOL or other issues I used bitwarden emergency access options for passwords. Of anything happens to me my wife can request access to my vault and if I don’t deny it in a certain timeframe she will have full access to it.
I did that after my brother in law got in an accident and fell into a coma. I’m very grateful he had all his password saved in chrome on his unlocked laptop because if not it would have made the period insanely more difficult for my sister.
Simple things like paying the bills would I been insanely more difficult and stressful and you don’t need extra stress in this period.

- Comment on First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android 2 months ago:
I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.
Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.

Or, the method from “the bear” for tomato sauce: you cook the garlic in olive oil for a few minutes, add the basil leaves for a few more minutes then set this oil aside and only add it in the sauce at the end.
