- Comment on Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck Parts 1 year ago:
Tesla should mill the car from one solid block of steel.
- Comment on Scientists invent micrometers-thin battery charged by saline solution that could power smart contact lenses 1 year ago:
You only have to cry once a day to power your contact lenses!
- Comment on Is this even legal? 1 year ago:
Since the antitrust laws don’t exist any more, it’s legal, yes. If you don’t want that, you have to switch to Linux.
- Comment on India just landed on the Moon for less than it cost to make Interstellar | The Independent 1 year ago:
But consider the low gravity dances!
- Comment on An Iowa school district is using ChatGPT to decide which books to ban. Official: "It is simply not feasible to read every book" for depictions of sex. 1 year ago:
Religious books are specifically excluded, they did their homework.
It happened in Utah, though: iowapublicradio.org/…/a-utah-school-district-has-…

Try it with an obscure book that doesn’t have any reviews online. Or with one that was released after 2021.
You’ll either get the response that it has no idea, or it’ll come up with a plot based on the title and evaluate that one.
- Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead 1 year ago:
That’s kinda a given, but way harder to fix than introducing weapons control.
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 1 year ago:
They tried that with the video, it didn’t work.
- Comment on Does anyone know if these unreal assetts could be used for printing? 1 year ago:
That’s not extensive, that’s a five minute process in Blender. I didn’t have to touch a single vertex, it’s all global operations.
- Comment on Does anyone know if these unreal assetts could be used for printing? 1 year ago:
Star Craft 2 models aren’t hairy at all, because they’re really low poly. The engine has to be able to display hundreds of them on a single screen.
Some have some thorn-like protrusions, but I intentionally didn’t try to print them, since they’re way harder to get working.
- Comment on The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained 1 year ago:
Call me when you find a company that isn’t trying to sell stuff.
Agree on the rest, though.
- Comment on Does anyone know if these unreal assetts could be used for printing? 1 year ago:
I actually managed to extract the 3D assets from Star Craft 2 and print them, specifically the Baneling and the Ultralisk. I had to remesh them to make them manifold and subdivide to smooth the triangles, but they looked great in the end.
- Comment on No More Windows! Indian Defence Services are Switching to Linux: Indian Govt offices to use Linux distribution, replacing Microsoft Windows 1 year ago:
That project has been dead for essentially a decade now.
- Comment on Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X - Unseen Japan 1 year ago:
It’s also the name of a certain mindreading academic.
- Comment on Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought... 1 year ago:
Once entities like tax authorities require it for filing your taxes (or any other thing you absolutely have to do), that’s not really an option any more.
- Comment on Many Americans think NASA returning to the moon is a waste of time and it should prioritize asteroid hunting instead, a poll shows 1 year ago:
I’m glad that science isn’t a democracy.
However, I’m not so glad about NASA having to follow the current US Congress’ whims all the time.
- Comment on Offshore Wind Resources Could Meet 25% Of US Demand 1 year ago:
It is done: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power
- Comment on Brands that don't buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification 1 year ago:
A right-wing propaganda tool needs people outside of the right wing to look at it. He’s far too embedded into that space to be able to appeal to other groups.
- Comment on Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix 1 year ago:
It wasn’t branch prediction alone, it was the cache combined with branch prediction. The problem is that even discarded outcomes fill the cache with data. Those older vulnerabilities also had the problem that the access permissions check was done after the branch prediction. It’s probably too expensive to do when it’s not even clear yet whether the branch is going to be taken (that’s just speculation on my part though).
- Comment on Iran shuts down biggest e-com company after female employees seen without hijab 1 year ago:
Well, last time around, the CIA intervened and installed a conservative government when Iran had too much freedom.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
Did that guy actually take back his job? Since he already got the firing in writing, I’d totally have run with it.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
There was a method behind these things, which are the exception I mentioned. He removed the moderation staff, because he wanted to encourage Nazi content on the platform, and moderators are bad for that. The paid verified program meant that only fans of him and Nazis would pay money and thus be verified, so he could legitimately amplify their voice on the platform.
The problem he ran into is that advertisers don’t like their ads next to Nazi propaganda, so now revenue is down.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
if I take out a mortgage for a property before I buy it and I destroy the house; the bank still comes after me for the value.
Only if it was destroyed intentionally.
Of course, it could be argued that Musk is destroying Twitter intentionally, but that’s for a court to decide.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
He fired everyone who tried to question him on the spot, sometimes even by public tweets.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
No, the reason it’s not going to break him is that Twitter took on the loan, not himself.
- Comment on Mmusks new ideas 1 year ago:
No, once purchased, the problems were already insurmountable. The company was bought on company debt, meaning that it was in deep shit on day 1 of him owning it. It wasn’t profitable before that move, and adding a ton of debt didn’t improve the situation.
All moves Musk did are essentially cost-cutting measures (except for the ones where he’s trying to establish it as a social network for Nazis).
- Comment on How do I prevent hackers from stealing my debit card information? 1 year ago:
I’ve read about some banks actually abusing their own clients and meddling with their money…
Might also be an employee there making a few bucks on the side…
