- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 1 week ago:
Let’s be fair: no one ever warned that this could happen.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 3 weeks ago:
Its not guaranteed. They may keep a copy of the original post around.
- Comment on Valhalla awaits 3 weeks ago:
You can also hang yourself from an ash tree!

- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 4 weeks ago:
I mean don’t see why not, but you need complete coverage around it, including underside.
You could also try switching to 5 GHz wifi if your walls allow it.
- Comment on Resources 4 weeks ago:
Its not about giving people resources, merely estimating what it would take for everyone to meet DLS requirements if they live where they currently live.
- Comment on Resources 4 weeks ago:
They talk about it in the PDF. Basically its a weighted average. Some people live in colder climates and need more heating/clothes, others need less. It then averages out to those numbers.
- Comment on Resources 5 weeks ago:
Yeah but DLS would be a significant downgrade for many people, who already fight the suggestion to only eat meat six days a week tooth and nail.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10537420/
pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/…/es3c03957_si_001.pdf
Things that count as DLS:
- 10 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 4 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
- 2100 kcal/day
- 1400 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
- 1 washing machine per 20 ppl
- 2.4 kg clothing / year
- wear tops for three days and bottoms for 15 days without washing
- 1 laptop per 4 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 150 hr/year.
- Comment on Maybe just do the hard work yourself 5 weeks ago:
I just want to point out that it doesn’t fake or lie or anything. That is giving machine learning too much credit. Just picks the statistically most likely next thing to say from its training data.
I guess training data includes reddit twitter Facebook etc. and so humans probably sometimes say that in that context.

Its wild mustard all the way down.

- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 month ago:
Look I get it. The planet is dying, income inequality, it seems everything is unfair and going to shit. People yearn at an opportunity to help make things better. But yelling for simple solutions is the opposite of helpful. Because there are no simple solutions.
Saying to “just open source it” does not make sense.
What do you do about:
- proprietary codecs
- proprietary software that just does not exist as open source
- the fact you need a copy of the game engine to actually build the game from sources
- assets that have been bought on asset stores. Do the people who make those for a living not have a right to continue to make a living?
Making single player games without always online DRM: yes totally doable
Running game servers of online games forever: not really doable, as soon as all the libraries etc. they depend on are unsupported they will shut down one way or another. You need staff basically forever. Not even mentioning the maintenance headache that every legacy system always turns into.
Letting people run their own dedicated servers: sometimes doable, depends on the game though. Some games do not have “a server” but a whole infrastructure of stuff, look at foxhole. Some “servers” are a house of cards barely held together by duct tape.
This initiative all comes down to the definition of “reasonable”. What is reasonable, actually? Running an infrastructure at a loss until bankruptcy? Or just keeping it online until it starts making a loss.

There is a reason it’s included though. Stuff like fmod, bink video etc. does complicated things that you otherwise need to implement yourself.
- Comment on Injured dog walkers could be costing NHS £23m a year 2 months ago:
I btlet they are saving the NHS multiple times that amount due to having an enforced consistent sleep rhythm and going for walks twice a day.

If she could afford ECC, she would wear nicer shoes.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 2 months ago:
To expand on that, you make a very small hole by curling your index finger, and look through that hole.

The Nordics are far ahead in this. Torx everywhere.

What’s up with that. Why would you walk through piles of corpses barefoot.
- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 3 months ago:
Its above the critical point, so water will be a supercritical fluid. 370 C already requires 217 atm of pressure.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 4 months ago:
You need none. They release free content together with every DLC too. Also you can get the subscription for a month and cancel immediately if you want to try all of them.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 4 months ago:
Maybe Hearts of Iron or Stellaris?
- Comment on Will Trump tariffs and implied trade war have a significant effect on the global emissions of greenhouse gases? 4 months ago:
Depressing thought of the day: if we had no emissions for a year, it would buy us a year.

- Comment on Is it a bad idea to seek medications for depression (in the USA), when it could be takes away for political reason? 4 months ago:
I would hoard a bit. So you can get off it in a controlled manner if you cannot afford it anymore.
- Comment on The Darkest Files - prosecute real Nazi crimes 4 months ago:
You interview witnesses and go “into” their memories in first person. Interacting with objects is asking that person a question.
Then, you reconstruct the crime using a blueprint on a timeline, and support everything with three collaborating pieces of evidence.
