- Comment on If I only have space/money for one exercise machine, what should I get? 9 hours ago:
Bench + weights. Cardio is easy without a machine, weightlifting is not. If you’re not into weightlifting, then yeah, small treadmills/walking pads are great.
- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 1 day ago:
That’s not exactly true. The first undersea transatlantic cable was laid in 1854, well before petrochemical coatings. Admittedly, it didn’t last long. But the third cable in 1866 did last quite a while.
The cables were coated in gutta-percha.

Very very expensive. For fiber, though, it’s starting to make sense economically.

Wait, is Jim from The Office related to Jack Ryan? They look like they could be father and son.

- Comment on Knife horse 1 week ago:
Is the horse made of knives, a knife itself, or merely a horse that wields knives? This matters.

- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 week ago:
Picking a lock is something you do when you don’t want to destroy the lock. In this case, fuck that lock. A rock will solve the problem of it being there just fine.

I wouldn’t normally vandalize a bench, but…

It was a joke.

Oh shit. My friends will find out that I play NSFW games. I mean, they already know, because they see it in their feed, and they get a popup every time I start playing one. But, now they’ll know even more…

It’s so truuuue!! Just think of those poor RAM manufacturers who used to be able to charge $20 for a RAM stick. Now they have to charge $400 for the exact same stick!! Their costs are exactly the same, but those nasty economic factors are forcing them to raise their prices to the maximum amount people will pay. Oh, those poor poor rich people. 😭

No, I can see why they did it that way. It’s because they hate you.
- Comment on Thanks AI for the help 2 weeks ago:
This is why all of my open source projects, and port87.com, have a no-ai policy. I will never let AI slop touch my code base.

Absolute unit.

- Comment on How com the ad industry make so much money? 4 weeks ago:
I will tell you, as someone who runs a business and doesn’t really advertise, you need ads to actually make money. I do not make enough to rely on my business as a sole source of income. I also do not have enough money to spend on effective advertising. So basically I’m stuck unless I want to take venture capital money (I don’t).
- Comment on How would I go about turning this into a power-generating wind turbine. 4 weeks ago:
You’re not going to be able to generate much power from that.
- Comment on Would an LLM AI model trained wholly on consenting open source projects with a license requiring all derivative works be open source licensed still be problematic? 4 weeks ago:
It would still be problematic, yes. You can’t copyright the output of an LLM, so you can’t actually enforce any license on it.
- Comment on What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines? 4 weeks ago:
Probably not much other than never being able to return. It happens more often than you think.

- Comment on YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate 5 weeks ago:
I’m not trying to slander them. It’s just my opinion. They put time and effort into their videos; they’re just, like, lowest common denominator videos. To me, that makes them slop. A million times better than AI slop, but still slop, in the same way that History Channel videos are slop.
- Comment on YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate 5 weeks ago:
It’s sensationalist. It is well researched, so it’s generally technically accurate, and they admit when they make a mistake. But, it’s also generally focused on things that are either very hypothetical, or just not helpful. Basically, it’s high quality clickbait.
- Comment on YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate 5 weeks ago:
That’s right. Kurzgesagt may be slop, but it’s man-made slop. Slop delicately crafted by real human hands.
