Its to make sure that they don’t get a billion questions about what button to push next and not being able to complete homework because of button confusion. Does it still need to exist today? Probably no but good luck getting rid of a standard adopted by all manufacturers of textbooks.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 2 months ago:
And then actually shooting something into the sun is harder than just blasting it out of the solar system.
Why is this true? Wouldn`t gravity do most of the work if we just kinda shove it in that direction?
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 3 months ago:
I totally agree with you and once dudes with dollar signs in their eyes stop with craming it in toasters I will be very happy to see where the tech goes.

I would argue that this current AI bubble is artificially created by a different type of conmen.

I think the point was that many veggies are harvested by far workers who may also be exploited. The concern about bee exploitation but not focusing on human exploitation is the rub.

- Comment on Utah’s first floating solar farm is complete 3 months ago:
wind causing waves.
Probably related to the size of lake? This probably couldn’t be used on like lake Michigan or Erie. But its a clever way to distribute power generation. I wonder if shaded lakes also cut down on algal blooms.
- Comment on The ghost of StarCraft: Ghost endures as a new shooter set in the RTS universe is in the works at Blizzard 3 months ago:
I don’t have a way to measure of how good a game would need to be for me to go back to Blizzard. I want to say it is impossible at this point.
- Comment on It's Wednesday, my dudes. 4 months ago:
I worked at a summer camp with a wolf spider as roommate in my cabin. I told him she could stay as long as she didn’t bite the kids. All other counselors complained about mice in their cabins but were surprised I didn’t have any.
Fast forward to the last week of camp. Stupid loudmouth kid sees the spider and hits it with a broom. Kids all scream and I run back inside. Asshole kid is trying to squish her and I stop him and get her outside. I scold the kid and he is unrepentant. Last morning in camp he wakes up with a swolen lip that is rapidly taking over his face. He isn’t having an allergic reaction but his whole face looks like sloth from the goonies. As I put him on the bus to go home he is crying because his mom won’t recognize him. “Well, maybe next time leave the spider alone”

- Comment on "what happened??" 4 months ago:
May be an unpopular opinion but I don’t care what happens to my games when I die because I will be dead. If I want to pass something on to any kids I have it will be memories.

- Comment on Valve are still taking SteamOS beyond the Steam Deck, though dual booting is a ways off 5 months ago:
I think the hard part with using the os from a playstation or switch instead of an emulator would be getting the hardware running with drivers and whatnot. While it may be possible I can’t see it as very practical unless you are that kind of coding nerd and you want to do it as a challenge.

What is the use case for dual boot? Do you really want windows telemetry on your device?
