- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 19 minutes ago:
Read my last paragraph, then. It’s not how much MS gets in everyones’ face. It’s the specific avenues in which these companies are exposed. Google is everywhere on a platform that people don’t have to install to try things out, or have it automatically execute without permission.
MS is not. Do you not remember the MASSIVE outcry when MS said they were turning on Copilot for everyone? They tried to shove it everyones’ faces ala google, but their avenues for forcing shit are plainly different.

Because they’re easier to ignore and disable than the biggest advertiser and search platform on the planet that gets their grubby hands in everything? MS doesn’t have nearly as much of an online presence, and that’s exactly where these “AI” are getting used.
On top of that, Google gets to feed search queries into their AI and generate results for most searches. Copilot does not get to arbitrarily answer every search someone types in to Windows.

When the competition is replacing workers en masse, yes.

Ypu realize these companies can force growth via cramming it in to every channel they own, right? You realize growth on paper is not public endorsement, right?
- Comment on Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)? 1 day ago:
In addition to what others have already said, it’d be really silly to make one a negative of the other in the most basic sense, too.
There have been so many issues with electrons having a “negative” charge, and that’s a binary situation! It would be so much worse to introduce implied favoritism with basic directions.

It doesn’t take an expert to think, “if they have to reload more often and cannot have easy access to tweaks like bumpstocks, they won’t be able to shoot as much lead.”
This isn’t rocket science.

The edit was to cover an additional point I noticed. Why are you reading so much into it? You’re being downvoted because you’ve put an attempt at a political meme into a science sub, expecting a science community to agree with politically charged topics.
Now you’re jumping to conclusions about why, because surely most people don’t disagree with you!
Just chill out dude. You’ll have a much better time here and IRL.

lol I’m not wrong.

Well in that case, the image is based on the false dichotomy that doesn’t exist of the parties’ policies. Most dems don’t want to remove all guns. They just want to keep guns out of crazies’ hands and some want to limit availability of particular things so any subsequent mass shooter has a harder time just endlessly popping off shots like the Vegas shooter… They do not fail to understand guns.

The pills need to be opposed decisions. Not the same thing with a different industry.

No they want to capitalize on pedos finding victims.

No, you completely misunderstood my point. My point is not to describe all valid interpretations, but the one most slow kids will be taught.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 1 week ago:
I settled on AzireVPN for port forwarding. Just as capable and works basically fine. Plus they don’t advertise prices only available to new customers. Only limitation is no convenient client, but at least I know what the fek connection my stuff is using, and it’s easily automated.
I’m sure many Mullvad servers are similar, but figured anything with working port forward could be worth a mention.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
True, but as with many things, something has to be the rule for processing it. For many teachers as I’ve heard, order of appearance is ‘the rule’ when commutative properties apply. … at least until algebra demands simplification, but that’s a different topic.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Not in most programming languages, though. You cannot start names with a number. Unless you’re using some strange character that merely looks like a number, anyways. Programming with unicode can get weird but generally works without issue these days.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Well, now you might be running into syntax issues instead of PEMDAS issues depending on what they’re confused about. If it’s 12 over 2*6, it’s 1. If it’s 12 ÷ 2 x 6, it’s 36.
A lot of people try a bunch of funky stuff to represent fractions in text form (like mixing spaces and no spaces) when they should just be treating it like a programmer has to, and use parenthesis if it’s a complex fraction in basic text form.
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Hopefully you can see where their confusion might come from, though. PEMDAS is more P-E-MD-AS. If you have a bunch of unparenthesized addition and subtraction, left to right is correct. A lot of like, firstgrader math problems are just basic problems that are usually left to right (but should have some extras to highlight PEMDAS somewhere I’d hope).
So they’re mostly telling you they only remember as much math as a small child that flunked.

Capitalism isn’t fixing anything here. In fact, it’s showing that the companies mindlessly following market inflation to keep profits up are doing worse.

If it has the AI content flag, it’s most likely slop.
- Comment on Roblox’s CEO calls moderation problems ‘an opportunity’ and platform gambling a ‘brilliant idea’ in unhinged interview 1 week ago:
CEOs are more dangerous than pedos. Mostly because they’re far more open and have the money to do damage to more than those they psrsonally meet.
- Comment on Malaysia says it will ban social media for under-16s from next year 1 week ago:
Just all personally targeted ads. Sure, I donpt mind if they advertise tools while I’m actively shopping for tools. But that shouldn’t haunt me for the next two months on every partner site…

I mean, in reality, any alien species that can receive and decode our infintesimally small signals is almost certainly thinking, “lolol look at those apes. They’re still playing with rocks.”
- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 2 weeks ago:
Nah that actually accelerates the genetic diversity. All the morons that would’ve died off or medical issues that would’ve been a death sentence now have a chance to go on and further… everything.
- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 2 weeks ago:
Not only the next generation. There are many genes that activate or deactivate based on environmental factors.
There’s even a term for such genes… A term I forget, but it exists and experts are very aware. Of course they aren’t going to have as massive as an effect as generational drift, but they can still have significant impact.
Doubt any type of effect can keep up with humans trashing the planet for profit, but… …

Nonono, they hid it in the middle of a ten page EULA. Didn’t you read the entire document before you agreed?! Who agrees to things they don’t read?
