Hilarious. Very good watch.
- Comment on Layoffs every 2 years 1 day ago:
They literally have us trying to finish developing a product and get it through certification. They want first 10 units built at our location and for us to train up the people at the new location. I’m phoning it in for sure, but that’s not the expectation.
- Comment on Layoffs every 2 years 1 day ago:
I feel for you.
My company got bought in June '23. I was offered a retention bonus with a final payout after two years. 1.5 years in (last month), they announced that they’re laying off our entire office in June '25.
The reason provided was that we can’t keep up with the expected demand of the product despite nobody ever coming on site to evaluate our abilities and us exceeding the goals set for us. It couldn’t have anything to do with the salary range in our area. I asked the goon they sent us if the person who made the decision was on the phone. He said no. It was explained that “these things happen” in business.
And they expect everyone to stick around and happily assist in the transition. The retention bonus sounded good when it came with continued employment, but it’s not nearly enough to put up with that shit.
I’ve already interviewed three places. Fuck if I’m giving them two weeks.

There should be a requirement where the people who decide to lay folks off actually have to show up and tell them in person.
- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 4 days ago:
they began to search “impossible seeds” - “which could only be created by using save modification tools to force a creation date after the year 2038”. They eventually found dungeons with the drop in the right place, using seeds for the years 2056 and 2074.
For more:

I assume the game didn’t allow for save files to have negative epoch time.

Why go to all this trouble for a 27 year old speedrun?
Uh, is 2009 that long ago?

There was a guard. It was only $500. People were invited to kick it, but it was monitored.

That’s so great. You should be proud.
- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 6 days ago:
Hell yeah brother.
I legit contracted with an OEM over Alibaba to make a custom piece of glass to adhere to the new LCD screen to replace the broken screen in my wife’s Playdate.
Though in that case it was like $150 total.
- Comment on Anon has a warning about the ISS 1 week ago:
It wouldn’t have to face up, it would have to face retrograde from the ISS orbit to bleed off velocity and allow it to fall. According to my interpretation of Wikipedia’s description of the Hohmann transfer which is the most efficient way to change orbits, you need -2081m/s change to drop from 420km to 415km. We can ignore the circularizing burn which would only be like 5m/s.
Calculating gas exit velocity through a hole is tricky, but we can do it by momentum shift. The entire 1000m^3 pressurized volume of 1atm air at a cozy 70F has a mass of around 1000kg. If we assume 1000kg is small compared to 440,000kg of the entire space station, we can do a simple m1v1 = m2v2 equation.
For the 440,000kg station to decelerate by 2081m/s, it would need to eject its entire pressurized atmosphere at a velocity of 915km/s or 2,048,000mph or 0.3% the speed of light.
So yeah, I don’t think a pressure leak is enough to do it.
Not to mention that the ISS already loses 2km/month due to drag in the thin atmosphere.
- Comment on ai comments on cbs videos, but why 1 week ago:
These aren’t AI.
And usually it’s to make an account look legitimate so when it starts posting spam it doesn’t get flagged so fast.
Or given the user photo, the account has a bunch of ad/spam/scam videos and is hoping to draw people in to click with tiddies.

- Comment on Fantastic Four: First Steps poster seems to have been made with AI 2 weeks ago:
The upper-most finger on the hand isn’t an index finger. See where it lands on the palm? The original hand was pointing and they poorly shopped it to make it look like it was holding something.
- Comment on Fantastic Four: First Steps poster seems to have been made with AI 2 weeks ago:
It’s also possible that “We 4 You!” is the intended message. Like if it’s that obvious, do you think the guy who had to add “prepare 4 launch” wouldn’t have noticed it and fixed it? Clearly some post-processing happened here.
- Comment on Fantastic Four: First Steps poster seems to have been made with AI 2 weeks ago:
The fact that its even debatable if this is AI or not is concerning.
I find this argument a little disingenuous. Debatable is subjective. Someone might just have a really, really poor argument. Not much of a debate.
- Comment on Fantastic Four: First Steps poster seems to have been made with AI 2 weeks ago:
Most of these “issues” are terrible arguments: 2) AI doesn’t duplicate heads. That’s kind of the whole point of AI. You know what does duplicate features? Lazy compositing. 6 and 9) Extras don’t know how to use 70 year old props? This is surprising? 8) We’re going to call out grammar errors, but ignore the flawless pencil drawing of the logo on the other poster?
- Comment on Fantastic Four: First Steps poster seems to have been made with AI 2 weeks ago:
I’m not convinced this is AI. If it was straight AI, there would be a lot more issues. Zoom in on any AI crowd and things go to hell quickly.
My guess is that this is a highly composited image with a handful of old fashioned human Photoshop errors.

Just surprising since the sample is in a very different medium.
