I feel like it’s more likely more and more young people will just retreat from the open internet and only trust content from people they already know don’t post AI clips.

I know right. Let’s put a more realistic “before they’re out of kindergarten” on that.
- Comment on The games industry is screwed. [26:11] 2 months ago:
I now have no respect for such people whatsoever, as they’ve demonstrated completely and thoroughly, even to the point where my dumb ass can notice, that the only thing that ever “qualified” them to “run a business” was having money.
It’s always heartwarming when people wake up and realize it’s capital ism and not merit ism
And you realize a lot of the books and media you’ve consumed that explicitly stated that weren’t just making a comment on a goofy side effect of that system but the entire enchilada.

This is one of those neat factoids that isn’t entirely true.
Japan does wash and refrigerate its eggs, just not all eggs and brands and groceries (it’s not a law).

Most of the low salmonella incident rate comes from a higher inspection rate of egg producers and, here’s the fun one, a higher rate of raw egg ingestion, leading to faster report and response times for when there is contamination.

You really shouldn’t use sites like this for comparison as they’re not really adjusted for average expected living in any certain country.
They’re for if you took your lifestyle from country A and tried to transplant it in country B.
A good example is price per square foot for apartments etc. in Japan doesn’t really say anything about how the average living space is also much lower so you shouldn’t try and buy an American suburban house in Japan anyway.
- Comment on Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit 5 months ago:
We got rid of our stand-ups in favor of a morning slack check-in in the group channel.
We even have a little bot that lets you input them at any time before the scheduled deadline and reports them all at once so you don’t have to put it in in the morning (many people prefer reporting on their day at the end of the day).
This combined with a robust pull request system means that a lot of work can get done async.
We have occasional meetings but they’re pointed and specific between only the people that need to talk so nobody’s time feels wasted.
It took like 2+ years to develop this culture but it’s worth it.

The fact that it’s hit #1 on the US Apple app store is wild to me.

- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 6 months ago:
They can’t, actually, because they don’t hold the rights to that content, only to GOG and the installer. Once it’s installed their distribution and license rights end.
If the game you install has its own license from the rights holder that gets revoked then you’ll be in breach of that license, if anything.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 6 months ago:
This is just the license do download the game, not to install it.
Once you’ve downloaded the software they can’t revoke it anymore.

I don’t get the problem with flathead, for household applications it seems the most superior because I can use literally anything in my house to drive the screw (butter knife, credit card, a housekey)
plus almost every size of flathead screwdriver can fit in almost every size of flathead screw.

In Japan if you work full time for a larger employer, you pay into “shakai hoken” (societal insurance) this pays you like a third of your salary if you get injured and have to refrain from work for awhile. (This is at least partially paid for by your company because you can only legally be fired in Japan if the company proves beyond a reasonable doubt you were either belligerent or the company couldn’t survive without you)

- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 6 months ago:
The way Coffee Stain explained it is that the exclusivity windfall gave them enough runway to finish the game.
If the system of temporary exclusivity in exchange for upfront development cash continues I think it’s an overall win for the gaming community as games get to come out at leas rushed pace and with potentially less cash generation grabs in the game itself.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 8 months ago:
no rocket as powerful as this one.
So I’m confused on this because people still seem to be using Starships’s old estimates of 100 tons to LEO orbit, which the SLS can put 145 tons to LEO.
Then 6 months ago Musk got on stage and updated the specs to Say that Starships’s current design can only do 40-50 tons.
This feels awfully familiar for anyone that’s seen early Tesla specs/presentations/promises and I can’t help but wonder as to the validity of everyone saying SpaceX is mostly insulated from Musk’s “influence.”
- Comment on Question about upcoming trends and hardware requirements 8 months ago:
DirectML sucks but ROCm is great, but you need to check if the software you want to use works with ROCM. Also note there’s only like 4 cards that work with ROCm as well.
