- Comment on Engineer caused data loss by cleaning PCs with welding tools 4 weeks ago:
“It’s at 90 PSI and is 80 percent air, 15 percent water, and 5 percent oil,”
Something’s seriously wrong with the air system then, and it will contaminate all their work and compromise the welds. Water is a particularly pernicious contaminant in welding because it causes hydrogen in the weld that will make it brittle and crack.
Welding shops have to be CLEAN. There are some welding processes that can work ok with dirty metal (SMAW with some electrode types) but these only work on mild steel, and these processes really aren’t used in a shop or production setup, more for field work.

- Comment on A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley 4 months ago:
LLMs can’t do most of those things and traffic analysis and other techniques already can but sometimes lack the data due to data sharing limitations.
You don’t need GPUs to do traffic analysis you just need more Five Eyes, TIA, room 641A stuff.

Someone with more time than me could easily do an entertaining mashup of Kirk and Mussolini quotes
- Comment on Elon Musk is trying to silence Microsoft employees who criticize Charlie Kirk 5 months ago:
I always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.
I don’t mourn Benito Mussolini’s passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problem

- Comment on LLMs’ “simulated reasoning” abilities are a “brittle mirage,” researchers find 6 months ago:
Literally no one ever claimed it had reasoning capabilities
Altman and similar grifters were and are absolutely making those claims but maybe we’re excusing them as obvious liars?

Mozilla executives are once again carrying water for Google.
If there is any doubt who they work for, watching them testify in defense of Google’s monopoly should be all you need.

- Comment on Elon Musk says X hit by 'massive cyber attack' as users unable to log in 11 months ago:
Historically Tesla’s security is as bad as DOGE’s. They got hacked a while back because they had an unsecured kubernetes control plane exposed to the internet. Apparently being owned by a micromanaging, ADHD drug addict isn’t good for opsec.

If Firefox disappears. Mozilla isn’t Firefox, it’s the organization staffed with ad-tech and McKinsey ghouls and paid by Google to kill Firefox.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 11 months ago:
The equally hilarious thing is that currently they have the “never will” promise in the same codebase as the “definitely will” gated by a “TOU” flag, showing intent to violate the promise.
- Comment on Luigi Mangione Content Is a Challenge for Social Media Moderators - B… 1 year ago:
but if we look at the countries on this planet that are the most successful in terms of economics, equality, personal freedom, human rights, etc. then we find countries that made it work through regulation and strong government institutions
Yeah that’s socialism. The best societies were all degrees of socialist, this includes western Europe and the USA at its mid-century peak. These societies all had aggressive, borderline confiscatory progressive taxation, large scale government intervention in the economy (in the US especially aggressive anti-trust), a generous social welfare state, and a large and professionalized civil service.
Remove those things and you quickly slide into a dystopian fascist nightmare state as the US and parts of Europe like the UK are discovering.
