- Comment on Should I apologize to this person? 8 hours ago:
word!
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 14 hours ago:
Fatasses can punish just fine.
Not when everybody can run circles around them and run away at the same time…
- Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world? 2 days ago:
A different world.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 2 days ago:
Other than them both being dickheads
Why do you think they need more than that?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
I get that they’re Muslim, but come on, we live in the West and it’s a free country.
Unfortunately, that isn’t up to you to decide for them.
Be careful, try to respect a (probably) different culture. You will not be able to change them.
Try to find out what is possible to do and tell, and what is good to do and tell. It’s going to take some time (we cannot know how long).
If you behave respectful now, it will earn you their respect and this makes both of you a happier life.
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 1 week ago:
The proverbial “two hearts in one chest” indicate a split mind, and create much pain.
It won’t do no good. The two would work against each other.
Not only in the holistic meaning, also from a strictly materialistical / technical point of view, there is no way to make them work synchronized. It is the very nature of the heart to determine it’s own rhythm.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 1 week ago:
Know your enemy:
- Dictionary attacks
- Leaked passwords
- Password guessing attacks
Your “system” is good against 1. but vulnerable against 2., and a bit vulnerable against 3. because of the system.

The older you get, the less an age difference is really an issue.
Have you ever heard a 95 yo talking about 80 year olds? ;-)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
What was her judgement to this question?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
LOL
- Comment on How do I rent a botnet? 1 week ago:
I don’t think you can rent botnets with some ready to use software to simulate web scraping or generate fake comments
Just look how half of the “reviews” on Amazon are fake already.
Oh yes, someone has paid for them, and there’s a well established industry at work.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It is not only computers that have openings.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Buy some very fine wire mesh and cover the openings with it. Like, 2mm squares or so.
For example www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005572754739.html
(I don’t really have that problem. But if I had it, I would)
- Comment on How do I rent a botnet? 1 week ago:
I don’t believe this is illegal as I’m targeting myself for education.
Difficult to know, and ofc depends a lot where you are. Better ask a lawyer.

different devices, some running locked Windows
That unforgettable moment, when you stand before that machine where you should be able to self-manage that value-card for some prepaid money for some special purpose, and that machine shows you nothing but a good old bluescreen, and it is a bluescreen from a 15 year old Windows…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Mifrosoft now requires TPM on windows 11,
…and it is a preparation step for even mightier lockdown scenarios than smartphones.
For your best, of course /s
could they make “Secure Boot” mandatory for windows 12? (Thereby preventing a linux install)
They have tried it in win11 already.
- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 1 week ago:
Each individual human would have been relatively quiet, but because there are a lot of them (potentially hundreds), they end up being, as a whole, loud enough
This might happen because of “resonance” - but I don’t know your specific scene.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance
the noise of the quietest server seems to disappear whenever the loudest is running, so it kind of does blow my mind how our perception of noise works…
The effect with the servers is called “sound masking” (and some other commenters have written about it), and how our peception works here is called “auditory masking” (nobody has mentioned this one so far).
- Comment on Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving? 1 week ago:
It’s called “vanity”.
- Comment on What should be known before launching a voice cloning application/service? 1 week ago:
You should know that most of your users probably want to use it for illegal purposes.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
BMI is kinda like IQ
But you want to be sure that your IQ is the higher number…
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
BMI is for the ones who like statistics, and average, and putting people into categories.
In the “rare” ranges of height (low and high), that interpretation gets weird and often very wrong.
- Comment on Why do bikes have a solenoid? 2 weeks ago:
The well-known “hundreds of amperes” are exactly the strongest current that the battery is able to give, and that’s what the engineer wanted.
The starter motor practically short circuits the battery in the first moment. The idea is to set the engine in motion as quick as possible.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, who doesn’t know them, the high paid actors from Namibia and Phillipines…
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 2 weeks ago:
using human-made works where the original authors didn’t consent to or even know that their work is being used to train the AI. Are there any initiatives to address this issue?
I don’t think so.
Training is expensive, and they all want to make money. Most of them want to make insane amounts of money.
Therefore they don’t care if it’s illegal.
Free and Nonprofit usually don’t start with huge piles of play money. OpenAI was the exception once before it got so thoroughly corrupted.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
a handful of countries
Person A: “I meant in most civilized countries”
That person used the term without knowing ANY meaning of it, just as an excuse for knowing only a tiny fraction of the world but still making bold generalizations regarding the whole world.
- Comment on Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice? 2 weeks ago:
For creating more bullshit.
These products are actually good, and cannot be improved anymore (or maybe only a tiny little bit).
But competition is tough, and so they feel the need for strong advertising.
Advertising departments cannot do anything but lie in such a situation: They create stories that tell of constant improvement. Revolutionary change even. Ongoing research. More blades on your razor every year, and always 10 times sharper than before. Your teeth 10 times better than last year, and therefore the toothpaste needs this new color.
Exxageration because when they promise so unbelievably much, then you are going to believe just a little of it - where the truth is: there is nothing.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
In humans, this would rather add to the disadvantage.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
scenario is equvalent of a human getting lost and then there is a homeless person who wants to fight you (not that they would, just an example). I think a person who’ve had proper food
You should consider one of them fights every day, and needs to survive all the fights every day, and actually has survived every fight so far - and the other one never…
- Comment on will i fit in more with china/japan or russia or their communities in terms of acceptance/blending in? 3 weeks ago:
what community will accept me more
When seeking personal acceptance, you depend much more on individual persons than on a culture / country.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
otherwise, I can rent an automatic.
You want to double check whether you actually can do that.
Automatics are actually rare there. The kind of rare that turns heads and raises eyebrows.
