- Comment on Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ? 2 hours ago:
It’s a really old cpu that was pretty slow to begin with. But it does have the required bits for virtualization, so it should work just fine.
It would be terribly slow tho, slower still than the system already is. And with only 4GB of memory I’m amazed it even runs Windows 10. It would run out of memory as soon as you do just about anything. If you can get some more memory into the thing, it would work better.
The info says desktop? But that’s a low end mobile cpu in there, 15W TDP, optimized to be cheap and have a good battery life. The downside is the performance sucks.

- Comment on GTA 6 Developers Announce Rockstar Games Union 1 day ago:
Oops somehow Rockstar went bankrupt even though they GTA5 printed money for them. But luckily there’s this new investor, which totally isn’t the old owner wearing a fake mustache, who is willing to take a risk and take over the project and SOME of its personnel.
Tax the fucking rich!

This would depend greatly on where you want to air that commercial.
- Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 6 days ago:
Yeah definitely, they are some of the smartest spiders out there.
I would recommend the book series Children of Time, which heavily plays with this concept and is an overall good time.
It’s hard to say if they actually have mind tho. I guess it would depend on the definition of what actually is a mind. And then you quickly get down into metaphysical stuff. We also like to frame stuff in terms of human concepts (which makes sense, being human), where the mind of an animal (especially something like an octopus with it’s more distributed intelligence) might be so foreign or alien it doesn’t even compare.

- Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 1 week ago:
Most of the things you mentioned like insects and spiders don’t have a mind. Their brains are too small for anything resembling a mind. It’s all instinct, learnt responses based on stimuli.
Something like a cat or a dog is smart enough to have some kind of internal concept of the world around them, but still very limited. It’s hard to say how much of a mind they have, but it’s much simpler than the one humans have. There are simply cognitive tests one can do on small children, which most animals fail. Although cats are notoriously hard to test in these kinds of things, because they don’t give a fuck and if they don’t feel like cooperating they just won’t.
But humans are unique in this aspect, the way we have minds is something no other animal has. It’s the unique trait that has made us masters of this planet (for better or worse, probably worse). Perhaps some animals like dolphins and some apes can come closer, but their mind would be similar to a very young child at best.

- Comment on Crazy how it does that 2 weeks ago:
We are in a memes community here, most memes are only tangentially related to the truth (if that). It’s a joke, it doesn’t have to be true, but if it is true (which there might be a chance of in this case) that makes it even funnier.
But if you’d like we can just go by 4chan rules here and post: “Fake and gay!”
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 weeks ago:
I fucking loved this game, it’s a shame it didn’t sell better. The performance was bad in some places on my pleb PS5, but mostly fine. It would go from fine to absolute shit, only for it to go back to fine when I went further into the level. So I think it was just bugged, I hope they can fix it.
Returnal for me was the better game tho, I liked the level design better in that one and the guns felt better. Saros was still very very good.

I hate to break it to you, but when someone states anything in metric, I immediately have a feel for how large that is. That’s because we usually state everything in metric, so we don’t need to refer to random stuff and just learn the sizes of everything.
- Comment on Superb cool 3 weeks ago:
And keep in mind there weren’t just large beasts, but small ones as well. People tend to focus on the big ones, because they are most impressive, but they came in the full range of sizes. Just imagine how alien our planet looked compared to what we are used to now.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, but that’s probably an issue for fire safety. There’s probably some regulation that mandates a minimum height.

- Comment on Claude Opus wrote a Chrome exploit for $2,283 1 month ago:
With stories like this I always wonder about how much guidance the bot was given. They mention a whole bunch of tokens and someone actively guiding the thing “to get it unstuck from dead ends”. What did the bot actually do? Did it do anything? Or was it guided to write an already known script for an already known exploit.
A lot of times it’s presented as telling the bot: “Hack this software” and it does the thing. This one is at least a bit more honest about saying it also took a lot of hours and prompting. I’m not sure the bot actually did anything, it’s just a really really inefficient way of typing.

The interesting thing about this is that it could be a double whammy. The collision that formed the Moon not only made Earth smaller, it also ejected a lot of material away from the orbit. This made Earth even smaller than it would otherwise have been, had the two bodies merged. And the Moon also took up some of that mass. The Moon also causes the tides which are theorized to have a significant beneficial effect on evolving more complex forms of life.
So just being small might not be enough and having a big moon might also not be enough, but Earth was lucky enough to have both. And that’s just some of the things in a long list of things that have to go right to get complex life on a planet.
My feeling is that life is pretty rare, but given there are so many star systems in our galaxy there might be a lot of it still. But most of it is probably very simple stuff. Getting to where Earth is, might be a once every couple of millions of years event within our entire galaxy. So there really might be nothing intelligent out there at this moment in time, there might have been earlier and there might be in the future, but for right now we are it.

On the other hand, you’re doing the first ever Moon landing, trying to manually find a good landing spot, running out of fuel and trying not to die. And all of a sudden your navigation computer starts throwing 1202 errors. That has to be one of the most butt clenched moments of all time.
Computer issues are basically tradition at this point.

One day I had worked for 18 hours straight. I was going home at 1AM and walked past a McDonald’s. It was in the middle of summer, 35 degrees all day, but cooling off at night. I really needed a pick me up, so I walked in and approached the counter. A pretty lady looked at me and said: “I know exactly how you feel and what you are here for”. In my mind she transformed into an angel and felt the holy energy radiating out. Then she followed up with: “I’m SO sorry, our ice-cream machine broke”. I didn’t even say anything, I just stared at her, a tear pushing it’s way out of the corner of my eye. I mumbled something like “It’s fine, don’t worry about it”, turned around and walk out. I’m not even sure how I got home that day, I was just mentally destroyed. This was 20 years ago and I still remember that moment :'(
