Oh man, this would be hilarious if it didn’t make me feel like I was having a stroke.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 2 weeks ago:
I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.
- Comment on FlatEarthers will work around it 2 weeks ago:
How do they think the sun works?
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.

This is horribly hilarious.

- Comment on They recalled the radioactive shrimp again. Why? My research shows you can just cook off the radiation. 3 weeks ago:
I never cared for seafood. Always keep a little shaker of cesium next to my salt and pepper though.
- Comment on Why Do People Keep Crashing into CVS? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a Not Just Bikes video that actually explains this phenomenon. Technically he doesn’t talk about crashing into CVS, but in Canada we crash into shoppers drug mart, which is basically the same.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 4 weeks ago:
Who even has time to play full price games? I have enough unplayed games piled up in my steam/epic/gog libraries to keep me busy for decades.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 month ago:
Perhaps along with de-industrialization; as more labour is outsourced, less labour_ers_ are needed.
- Comment on The duality of man 1 month ago:
“The West” is Europe and its colonies. Funny to assume anyone you don’t understand is brain dead.

People love to idealize the past…

- Comment on An alien invasion 1 month ago:
I mean it starts off with “we have killed your leaders”, to which my immediate thought is “oh sweet, good job aliens,” and then it just keeps making sense from there.

And then you have to rebuild them farther away, creating even more traffic!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I’ve literally seen a test with 4 cars driving around a circle, and they tell the drivers, “go at a consistent speed and maintain the distance in front of you” and after 5 minutes they’re all bunched up on one side of the circle. No amount of zipper merging and nice ramps will fix this.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
This is the correct answer. There isn’t a city on earth that has fixed congestion by building for more cars. It’s the places that build for trains and bikes that are best for driving, ironically.

I sent this to my wife.
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 2 months ago:
Also this map is fairly misleading. Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and the entire 4 maritime provinces are not here, and the main reason so much of the population is close to the border is that something like 1/3 of the population is clustered around the great lakes/st Laurence, because people came here by boat.
- Comment on In New York City, Drivers Who Run Red Lights Get Tickets. E-Bike Riders Get Court Dates. 2 months ago:
This is the subheading on the article (emphasis added):
Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.
So why let drivers off the hook? You seem to care about safety, but then support enforcement that disproportionately affects those who are doing less harm? There’s no logic, it’s just vibes.
Culturally, we accept drivers causing a significant amount of death and destruction, but get so mad about anyone else. It’s not rational.
- Comment on Drinks shouldn’t be chewed 2 months ago:
I loooooooooooove chewy drinks 🥰
- Comment on Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames? 2 months ago:
That would be nice, but the government is controlled by the same people who don’t want you to unionize, so good luck.
Besides unionized wages are higher, so those “fees” are more of an investment, with much higher returns than you’d typically get for investing only $700/year.

I think it might actually be held up by the other end of that banister.

Also, the handrail mount is sideways if we’re looking down; if we’re looking up, it makes sense.

50 interviews in 8 hours is about 10 minutes per interview, and that’s back to back, no breaks, no lunch, no one being late, etc.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 5 months ago:
There’s a box on the home page for the giveaway, but when I clicked it I got “something went wrong”, but as Shimon pointed out, it’s free on Steam too, so I nabbed it there.

Also you can use adguard DNS on your phone to block many in-app ads.

Naw they’re like those stripes on a soldier’s uniform
- Comment on Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in CA for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. The woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor with 16,000 citations. 6 months ago:
The way the post title is worded totally leads here. She’s presented as “the woman kicking the guys ass” - and what kind of citations do you get for kicking ass?
Either way incredibly based.
