  And video streaming. Oh the things we invented to facilitate gooning

  Wrong, it’s Jacob Batalon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI for good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an open secret in the AI world that gooning is one of the primary use-cases

  Yeah, it’s supposed to be read as “vulnerability known to the vendor for zero days”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turbines are our friends⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For heating I’d guess it can still be relevant. As a means of producing electricity though? Yeah

  It means “replace ‘USA’ with ‘Trump’”

  Delicacy is maybe not the word I’d use, but it certainly exists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Slay the Spire 2) If they replace this placeholder art, I will be upset.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slay the Spire 1 has the option for everyone to use beta art for free if they feel like it, no DLC involved. I bet they might do something similar for this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While all of these things would obviously be great, you still need to do the exercise.

  Truly depraved. A crime against humanity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me btw⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I should clarify that I’m talking from a video engineering perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨me btw⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wanting to do anything with video for one

  What’s Andrew Rousso doing in the image? Seems completely unrelated to the content of the article.

  Be that as it may, businesses will generally move towards things that cost less dollars on balance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wish I could do executive orders 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume most of them will have no citizenship in a second country for them to be accepted in.

  A pragmatic solution would be to deport them out to sea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨macOS 26.4 will notify users of Rosetta 2 discontinuation - 9to5Mac⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s likely a maintenance cost continuously being paid that Apple wants to get away from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you’d lose support for devices which can’t handle software DRM playback, old YouTube clients installed on things like TVs which no longer get updated, if you want to support things that only get Widevine L3 support (most devices) you’re not really going to move the needle since Widevine L3 had been broken since like forever, etc.

  The main thing YouTube would gain in practice from such a move would be to get DMCA as a legal tool to crack down on people ripping YouTube videos, but that’d require some very significant resources invested into driving Legal processes against average consumers ripping videos, and the return on investment for that is almost certainly abysmal.

  They come with a red button, and you’re allowed to press it. You can’t be forced into a call, you have to provide consent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are people afraid of phone calls? I literally don’t get it

  You can quite literally buy him on Cameo, is this a joke or something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I NOT do in front of rich people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you’re sufficiently rich, you don’t even have to care about what the regular rich people think.

  You can probably adopt the habit even before you manage to reach that level of wealth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coventry's light rail technology a 'game-changer'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Very_Light_Rail

  This has a certain gadgetbahn-smell over it and I remain skeptical.

  Ditching catenaries for batteries make the vehicles heavier, requires them to be out of service for a part of the day to recharge and increases capex per vehicle instead of taking the capex on catenaries.

  The claims of autonomous driving seem dubious - this usually warrants a level of separation that’s rarely afforded to trams. It’s possible, but it for sure requires not cheaping out on the infrastructure.

  Ditching timetables in favour of some kind of demand-driven dispatch reduces the predictability of the network, and also seems unnecessary if the claims of autonomous driving are actually true. Maybe they have to cheap out on the amount of vehicles when making each vehicle more expensive with the batteries.

  Who knows, maybe the numbers work out better than what we can see here, but until then, I remain skeptical. I hope to be proven wrong.
