- Comment on How I have better social interactions? 7 hours ago:
Find out what your coworker’s nerdy interests are, then do some light research on it.
Then the next time you see them, ask them a bunch of questions about the subject. Try to talk little. Just listen and ask more questions.
People who are nerds about some topic love to talk about that subject. This is the easiest way to break the ice. Show them that you respect their knowledge on the subject, that you’ve learned a lot from them. Thank them. They’ll respect you more too.
After a few weeks of doing this with others, you’ll have their respect and then you can begin to increase the amount that you talk.

The gender part is sus, but the type of work you and your coworkers do is absolutely relevant. And in which country/culture.
- Comment on How I have better social interactions? 7 hours ago:
Lol not me. I get super annoyed when someone asks personal questions.
Who are you? Why does that matter? Why do you want to know so much about my personal life? Narc? Go away.

If you work for a for-profit corporation, your peers are all probably feeling soul-crushed and the same as you.
Things are better when you work somewhere that people love their jobs.

- Comment on Do people vote just by name recognition on the ballot or do they vote for the issues? 1 week ago:
I go to their website and look at the issues.
I’ve encountered a lot politicians on the ballots that are very popular, but their website is trash (lacking clarity on issues) or non existent. If they don’t have the ability to find a company to make a website for a few hundred bucks with words that describes their platform, they probably are not capable of achieving anything in office.

- Comment on Why is "sunsetting" used as a term to indicate a service is shutting down? 1 week ago:
No stupid questions, Jared
- Comment on Why is "sunsetting" used as a term to indicate a service is shutting down? 1 week ago:
I think that’s supposed to indicate a careless badass.
Because usually you ride off in the morning into the sunrise. To ride into the sunset means you’ll be going out at night, when you can’t see and navigating is magnitudes more difficult (though also it’s easier to hide, if you’re a wanted fugitive)
- Comment on Why don't communities build massive gardens for food? That way it would undercut the price of big retail stores. 1 week ago:
Orchards are easier.
- Comment on Are there any llms made from 100% public domain / permissively licensed training data? 2 weeks ago:
Translation would be nice.
Also finding bugs. Just training it on all historic CVEs of Foss like WordPress and the Linux kernel would be a huge plus to CI pipelines.
- Comment on Are there any llms made from 100% public domain / permissively licensed training data? 2 weeks ago:
It would need to be >100% to dissuade imho

Depends on the algorithm you choose.

That’s absolutely not true. Slate is working on one that’s not.
We’re just waiting for a car to solve this problem.

Please don’t advocate murder
- Comment on US being left behind in EV charging speeds as China goes sub-5 min to 70% 5 weeks ago:
We successfully increase the price of oil, leading to mass adoption of renewable energy alternatives.
- Comment on US being left behind in EV charging speeds as China goes sub-5 min to 70% 5 weeks ago:
Lol this is the least important attribute about EVs to me.
If it charges enough for me to drive 100 km over 8 hours (while I sleep), it’s grand.
But the most important thing to me is that it isn’t a surveillance capsule. So far all EVs suck at this metric.

That doesn’t make sense. VPN providers are even further outside their jurisdiction.
- Comment on Disney+ and Hulu raise prices by up to 13 percent after doubling profits 5 weeks ago:
So, like, they want to enforce this on piracy sites?
If they had any ability to control piracy sites, wouldn’t they just shut them down?
Sounds DOA.
- Comment on Disney+ and Hulu raise prices by up to 13 percent after doubling profits 5 weeks ago:
How? I haven’t noticed anything.

Check wwoof or workaway or similar.
You can generally live free in a country as a tourist for 3-6 months doing workaway then hitchhike or ride a bicycle to the next country. Repeat.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
You can literally just walk.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
You can hitchhike. Getting residency with working permission costs about $3,000
