I thought the issue was he was no longer going to identify ai code more than it being used.
- Comment on Lentils; Which, why in what? 8 hours ago:
I like the hucked ones dissolved in stuff so red and orange. That being said any type is not bad to add to a dish but I love mixing stuff and the more it mixes the better for me.
- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 10 hours ago:
yeah thats pretty old. honestly though i can get by with 16gig of ram and 720pm and ssd with any processor that would be on something that had that. Its only recently that I kinda want 32gig and maybe a bit more resolution.
- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 14 hours ago:
I mean he did after a few years but in order to have the time to make it a go he needed to devote all his energies to it. Do it full time. This was way back when books and publishers was more a typical thing. I assume its even harder today.

kinda reminds me of piers anthony advice to writers when they asked what is most needed to become a success. He said a partner who works.

I can’t think of a new thing since covid that seems any better than the stuff before. Im really not sure if your talking less than a decade old or 30 year old tech honestly.
- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 1 day ago:
sorta but the idea is the market would be more like 5% but maybe 10 depending on the interest rate. Essentially enough that it does not go under but actual profit should be about the same as a certificate of deposit from a bank.
- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 1 day ago:
yeah that is the problem. although you did have issues with people self diagnosing through google before chatgpt. the problem is the more it seems like an answer the larger the group of people who are going to take it as one. Except for the small opposite group who gets their hackles raised when they get the response that way. Which includes me. Still them giving sources and people using them is I think the best we will get.

- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 1 day ago:
from my experience despite the difference in process it does about as well. This is one reason it providing sources for its answers is so important. Its funny how in social media its so common to get the response. source? but many folks don’t care if the llm gives them it.

I often though about if for some reason I had a lot of money if I should try to make common things and sell at low margins over a charity setup. Like target 1% above inflation for the companies profit when targetting the price of the items.
- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 1 day ago:
I mean this is like a casual converstaion on his experiences with it. Its not him announcing a stand on the technology.
- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 1 day ago:
I get his and stallmans objections or disapointment in this case but really it is just another abstraction of search. which by the way was not expected to give perfect answers to questions. one of the top bad things with llm’s is the expectation by some that what they send back can be just used without review.
- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 2 days ago:
I think it depends on the backups. Im not sure how much is missed because I see very little gathering of info in communities. Like the reddit sto forums main value was in the sidebar and faq which listed all sorts of links to resources and faqs. If you wiped the whole thing but had those backed up it would allow anyone to quickly get into the game and the community could converse and answer questions not in the faw or resources that maybe would get integrated if it was important enough. Most communities I come across here you look at the sidebar and it does not even explain what the community is about. This one does but its not to common. So if the person or persons who mind this one have a backup of the sidebar then its good to get it going on a new instance if needed.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 2 days ago:
I use stock android but hate smartphones and only own it because of a previous job that required one but gave a monthly comp so you had to get one. I keep minimal apps on it. have it shutoff most times. I use it for phone calls and camera mostly with maybe maps and calendar. I have f-droid to avoid google apps but the stock camera works better than my alternate app so I use that for photos more.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 2 days ago:
US schools do not always have cafeterias and many students don’t use them. They cost money and bringing a lunch is cheaper. I know there are movies/tv with kids bringing their lunch and trading items as well as buying things from the cafeteria. Sometimes its setup were the parents paid for them to get a meal every day with a kind of pass or another style where its kinda billed to an account. So im guessing you have seen media that made you think kids always use a cafeteria but man you someone avoided the ones showing kids bringing lunch. Anyway some kids use when there is one and some don’t.

- Comment on What did people think dinosaur bones were before we officially recognised dinosaurs? 3 days ago:
fossils aren’t super easy to find and if you saw one you would think it just a rock. Not really sure how much is found above ground to. I mean if it looked immpressive enough maybe you sell it to a freak show or circus which I think something like them have been around for a long time.
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 3 days ago:
Im one of those folks who tend to not finish games. I sorta actively avoid the ending if there is more side quests that I have not done and such.

- Comment on In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine? 4 days ago:

Vance would name a vice president and judging by vance I bet it would be a bush jr chenney type situation although I have no idea who it would be.
- Comment on In WW2 we were told Hitler was a danger but not to us directly. Iraq was for WMD''s. Now Iran is for oil basically? What if the US got out of other peeps stuff and went isolationist for about 10 years 5 days ago:
this was my thought but I was not sure how I wanted to phrase a reply.
- Comment on UK agrees to let US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting Strait of Hormuz 5 days ago:
well see I can see allowing the strikes then. These are things countries decide to do so even if they had not or had really struck in the past I think the big thing is if iran as struck it since the invasion began. Basically are they asking for it (iran that is). im not british though so peanut gallery here. you know if was kinda nice back in the day when a democracy sorta had to get an attack to start attacking a place. pretty sweet those days.
- Comment on What's your favorite ship or class of ship? 5 days ago:
having played star trek online its hard for me to not want ones from the game especially the romulan ones and due to capabilities. Going strictly by the shows its hands down the bird of prey like they stole in star trek 4 of the toss movies.
- Comment on UK agrees to let US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting Strait of Hormuz 6 days ago:
yeah its like have they hit those bases because they will if strikes come from them 100%.
