There are really local good video models for Musk and Trump now.
…And, uh, acts.
- Comment on I knew it 1 day ago:
I think the joke is that Trump/Musk are homophobic.
If this were just two random guys, it’d be a fine addition to Lemmy.

Extreme E has boost, and is probably the most fun racing I’ve seen. Cars flip and keep going, and are lucky to make it to the finish line in one piece, lol.

Oh I didn’t realize NASCAR raced there! I’m watching one now, that’s such a fun layout for those cars.
- Comment on Those damn woke corners. 5 days ago:
The traffic is mad!
Infield is a bit narrow, but the bus stop and turn one are insane. The ease all those drivers do it with makes it look way too easy.
- Comment on Those damn woke corners. 6 days ago:
NASCAR had a street race, with corners: www.nascarchicago.com
It’s actually really cool, way better than the ovals TBH.
Also, many tracks like Daytona have real circuits, and it’s my opinion that nascar should use them.

This is by far the most practical “geoengineering” solution I’ve seen, far better than aerosols over the arctic, space shades or whatever. The ecological damage is comparatively miniscules.
And even then… quite a engineering feat. Nukes are actually quite “cheap” to scale up, but burying that much volume “3-5 km into the basalt-rich seafloor” is not something anyone is set-up to do.
But by far the hardest part is… information. Much of the world doesn’t even believe in climate change anymore, and by the time they do, it will be too late.

It’s quite light on details.
- Comment on Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars? 2 weeks ago:
Its semantics, and a subject of ongoing debate.
Per wikipedia, I really like this proposal:
Astronomer Jean-Luc Margot proposed a mathematical criterion that determines whether an object can clear its orbit during the lifetime of its host star, based on the mass of the planet, its semimajor axis, and the mass of its host star.[210] The formula produces a value called π that is greater than 1 for planets.[c] The eight known planets and all known exoplanets have π values above 100, while Ceres, Pluto, and Eris have π values of 0.1, or less. Objects with π values of 1 or more are expected to be approximately spherical, so that objects that fulfill the orbital-zone clearance requirement around Sun-like stars will also fulfill the roundness requirement[211] – though this may not be the case around very low-mass stars.
I like this proposal. It basically means a planet should be big enough to consolidate all the stuff in its orbital area, not be part of an asteroid field.

So…
The key is to and just believe the over-monetization is good, climate change is overblown and good, and just work harder?
Wala. You are now MAGA.

To add to other responses… What did the people’s CDC do better than the CDC?
- Comment on An independent voter explains why they chose a moronic, oligarcho-fascist demagogue over Joe Biden (c. November 2020) [Day 58] 3 weeks ago:
Trump looks more energetic, but sounds quite old if you ever actually watch one of his longer speeches. He rambles on and goes off on tangents like your great grandpa.
I think people from both isles have this “image” of Trump they get from all the headlines, influencers and such whereas Biden does not have that kind of cult following simply because he’s less controversial. His image is more from his carefully controlled public performances (which are basically a lie too).
They both looked alarmingly old to me on this election, but I think Trump’s critical mass let many voters “miss” that alarming trait. I have nothing against old people… but I wouldn’t have wanted my grandpa (may he RIP) holding the nuclear football.

Honestly we are way past the point of any scientific reasoning. The public has voted that they are uninterested, and the government and all social media is about to be uninterested too.

Definitely cute.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 4 weeks ago:
This is squeezing money out of a dying service. That’s all.
Hulu is, IIRC, mostly owned by Disney and on its way out. But it was always in an awkward place, without the critical mass of Netflix or some other giant tech/content ecosystem (Amazon, Apple, Disney and such) to push it. In hindsight, it’s kinda laughable that anyone thought it would last.
- Comment on More Censorship by Meta 4 weeks ago:
Which is default? Strict?
That’s what matters because it’s what 95% of people are using.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 5 weeks ago:
Because it’s actually trying to serve the user, kinda.
- Comment on POV: It's January 19th 5 weeks ago:
Everything I listed is free!
AFAIK only OpenAI’s small model is free (not the full GPT 4), and these days it’s really bad compared to other free models.
- Comment on POV: It's January 19th 5 weeks ago:
You shouldn’t pay for ChatGPT though. Or use it.
Use Deepseek, Qwen Chat, Gemini, Kobold Horde, literally anything but OpenAI.
- Comment on oopsie 5 weeks ago:
This is a good point.
I think “old internet” culture was unsustainable as it scaled up, even without algos fanning the flames.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 1 month ago:
Grok is a laughing stock in LLM world.
-
It’s worse than Gemini, Claude, so… why use it over API?
-
It’s not open source or even open weights. Elon is straight up lying when he claims it is.
-
It’s more expensive and generally more censored than great open weights models. Its even straight up worse than the remarkable Deepseek v3.
-
Elon has one of the most inefficiently used H100 hoards on the planet, while other labs are making good models without being billionaires or scorching the Earth.
-
Elon is an asshole, and I don’t want anything to do with him.
-
Even for “business use,” simply associating with X makes you radioactive.
The only ostensible reason I can think of to use Grok is ignorance, or to lick the boots of Musk/Trump.

- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
This is… so inefficient.
She could have become an engineer (or whatever she wants), made videos about it, and made a big difference in many people’s lives, and had whatever personal life she wanted. Instead, she’s producing ‘entertainment’ that’s been replicated a bajillion times.
I an happy for her personally, but this is such a loss to society and a huge ding against the education/work pipeline. If it isn’t ‘worth the hardship’ for someone so brilliant, hardworking, charismatic, attractive, and everything to go into STEM, then the system is completely busted.

To be fair, BG3 is like bottled lightning, and I think it’s unreasonable to expect many (if any) other studios to produce something like that.
