- Comment on Misaligned cabinet in apple wwdc 1 week ago:
Nah the rest don’t look perfect. In your last pic on the left side the line also doesn’t match up. I think all of the top units are just slightly bigger than the bottom units. It’s aligned on the left side, but then every unit is slightly more misaligned on the right side. Once we get to the end the differences stack up and it clearly sticks out a lot.
- Comment on What does the word data mean per se ? 1 week ago:
Which isn’t true in the strictest sense of the word. With modern phone networks everything is data and the phone is continually both sending and receiving bytes. These don’t count towards the data budget. Usually it’s the amount of data excluding metadata that has been exchanged with the wider internet. Or often even only the amount of data downloaded. These usually exclude all of the overhead and instead focus on actual package contents being transmitted. Now this can get very complicated when looking into stuff like a VPN and compressed data packages.
I’m sure the provider has some technical definition internally of how these metrics are collected and how the accounting works. But this isn’t something they will share with the outside world. There would probably be a legal document somewhere that states they are using industry standard means of collecting those stats. Depending on where you live there might be strict definitions the provider needs to adhere to.
As for the question posted by OP: This is way too vague of a question. If you ask a more specific question, you can receive a better answer. Data is one of those words with a whole bunch of meanings, depending on the context. If you strip the context, you also strip the meaning.

What sort of genres have you tried? You mention 1984, but that’s a very specific book only very specific people would like. There’s so many kinds of books and genres out there, there might be something that does grab your attention.

- Comment on Elden Ring Tarnished Edition launches August 28 2 weeks ago:
Being able to dress up Torrent without the use of mods has been requested so much. On one hand I feel like it worsens the experience as it can break the immersion. On the other hand, people already abuse the character creation screen to make abominations (although the lack of a hide helmet option makes this not super useful). And mods are also used a lot for all sorts of weird visual stuff. If someone wants to have some fun, why not?

- Comment on Is this machine good enough to install QEMU considering that it runs on windows 10 ? 2 weeks 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.

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!

- Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

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 5 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.
- Comment on baby blues 5 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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.

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 2 months 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.
