- Comment on How does AI use so much power? 1 day ago:
It is also a very large data set it has to go through the average English speaker knows 40kish words and it has to pull from a large data set and attempt to predict what’s the most likely word to come next and do that a hundred or so times per response. Then most people want the result in a very short period of time and with very high accuracy (smaller tolerances on the convergence and divergence criteria) so sure there is some hardware optimization that can be done but it will always be at least somewhat taxing.
- Comment on Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage? 2 days ago:
It’s both, weight starts to become a bigger deal when you factor in that you have to keep it in the air for thousands of km. If airlines could charge people by weight they would in a heartbeat
- Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light? 3 days ago:
I usually flash my high beams first as a more gentle “look up” and then do the horn if they don’t notice that one
- Comment on If corporations are the GOP and the GOP are corporations why isn't it assumed that corporations will stem inflation due to tarrifs while the GOP is in power even if its at loss? 5 days ago:
You would need all the companies to work together which is unlikely since they are all individually financially motivated. Then public companies also need to report their revenue and profits and if a bunch of companies started showing losses people would take money out of the stock market causing a recession

So I’d that just all college degrees besides business?
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 weeks ago:
Then you don’t get elected…
What I find funny is I have the exact opposite opinion that the left spends more time trying to appeal to voters than actually communicate what they are trying to do. So we end up with things like 250B to boost American manufacturing that got completely ignored
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 weeks ago:
That’s why it’s important to be able to convey your message so people know what you are trying to accomplish with the 2000 page bill
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 weeks ago:
People regularly vote against their own interests
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 4 weeks ago:
Which is why it doesn’t search within an instant and it uses a bunch of energy and needs to rely on evaporative cooling to stop overheating the servers
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 4 weeks ago:
Computers for all intents are purposes have perfect recall so since it was trained on a large data set it would have much better intelligence. But in reality what we consider intelligence is extrapolating from existing knowledge which is what “AI” has shown to be pretty shit at
- Comment on When you see danger coming 1 month ago:
And how do you keep the wood from being exposed to moisture without petroleum derivatives? Like technically it is possible but to build enough homes to that standard for even 1/1000 of the population is unreasonable
- Comment on When you see danger coming 1 month ago:
We also cover wood in hydrocarbons to stop it from being broken down, if a bacteria can break down long hydrocarbon chains we are kind of fucked
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 1 month ago:
It’s a chance for you to explain what you were doing. If you spent that time taking time off between jobs because a job fell through, you got laid off, you quit spontaneously, etc those are all very rational things that an employer may want to know.
It’s up there with innocent questions like “where did you work before here”, and “do you have reliable transportation “
- Comment on The new AMERICAN pope doesn't even speak AMERICAN 2 months ago:
He’s in charge of the Catholic Church why is it a surprise that he follows the status quo of the Catholic Church?
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 months ago:
You can say something like “I was attending to personal matters” that still gives no information but doesn’t come off as rude to what could be an innocent question
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 months ago:
And that’s how you don’t get a call back
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 months ago:
That’s the inside their head conversation the actual words would be a boiler plate rejection letter
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 2 months ago:
It depends on the context if you say you had an NDA and can’t elaborate at all on the details that’s a clear red flag as most NDAs you can at least give the context of what it is about I.e. specific job processes, witnesses an event, etc.
If you say you worked for X company but can’t talk about the details of your work because of an NDA then that’s fine but they might call your old employer to verify you did really work there.
- Comment on Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years 2 months ago:
Vitamins are barely regulated and don’t have to pass the standard of “generally recognized as safe and effective”. Because of that we don’t even have a ton of data on the effectiveness of multivitamins, but one of the things that we do know is most of the vitamins are just pissed out because they need cofactors to be properly absorbed. If you truly can’t get nutrients from a healthy diet then they are better than nothing but healthy diet is still the number one priority.
Doctors sometimes recommend them because “they can’t hurt” but that doesn’t mean they are actually helpful
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 months ago:
You are absolutely correct and that was a stupid on my part
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 months ago:
How much CO2 does the tree on your desk take in? Do you think it approaches 1/1000 of the amount that a bunch of algae can take in? So maybe it’s not the same and comparing it as being the same is done in bad faith. Trees are great and in many cases are superior as they also provide shade, but you can’t ignore the negatives of them(mostly related to their roots) and that they don’t work in every situation
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 months ago:
The majority of our oxygen comes from algae, they aren’t reinventing existing solutions they just put a tank of them in a city and blow air into it so that a city can use the same more efficient fauna that is available in coastal cities
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 months ago:
That’s factually not true; what happens to a company with no competition but also no customers and no suppliers? There is a reason why the most successful companies aren’t isolated from the world
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 months ago:
The problem is if you hit everyone with a stick sometimes they just leave and you are left just playing with your carrot by yourself
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 2 months ago:
It’s also run by people vetted by the school who are also employees so they generally have other responsibilities and then the service doesn’t generate a profit. Which is a long way of saying it’s not even remotely close to being the same
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 2 months ago:
Speaking as a person who does not fit the demographic for this service, the big problem I see with it is how you trust that the walking buddy is actually going to be safer than nothing. Uber drivers are somewhat regularly in the news for assaulting women and I know several women that don’t like riding them alone
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 months ago:
Halo reach came out way later, and doesn’t look half as good as master chief but that’s not due to the coloring and instead the worse looking armour
- Comment on Give us your craziest ocean facts. 🦑 2 months ago:
Isn’t like more than half that number diseases like malaria spread through mosquitoes
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 2 months ago:
They currently don’t affect digital goods but there is no actual reason they couldn’t make one that does we are in some truly interesting times
- Comment on Please choose one 3 months ago:
By evil company standards that’s pretty benign
Like Hershey uses slave labor, Chiquita helped transport weapons for paramilitary groups, nestle well we have all heard about what nestle does.
Just about everything you listed that they do can be summed up as they vehemently protect their IP that while they are overkill they just aren’t even close to other video game companies like blizzard who protect sexual harassers
