Microgravitational revolutionary physics?
- Comment on haha :( 10 months ago:
It seems like weak minds, such as those religious memes are able to successfully colonize, tend to see meaning coming from external sources higher on their perceived hierarchy than they are.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 10 months ago:
My job as a Linux admin/automation engineer has become way more difficult now that a primary tool has become nearly useless. I didn’t go to college, I learned from 0 to computer automation engineer essentially googling my way, I don’t think that would be possible now.

(probably invented by GenX)
Sounds like it.
- Comment on Especially with a real one! 10 months ago:
Gen X here, “pegging” meant hitting your target, like with a ball or something. “Ah! you pegged him right in the leg!”
- Comment on Chairs for the lazy 10 months ago:
I would expect some Harry Belafonte to start playing or something.
- Comment on what is the fedipact? 11 months ago:
Now we need Fedipact+ that blocks all for-profit instances.

Ya huh? We’ve evolved from dork to douche?

That was masterful!
- Comment on The fashion industry is still pushing crazy thin body images 11 months ago:
I just don’t understand the appeal of paying $3,000 for a handbag when a $20 handbag will can do just the same thing.
The appeal is that a $3,000 handbag sends a signal, one that you have $3,000 to spend on a handbag and are the type of person who would do such a thing.

This is for Hyundais an Kias mostly tho right? And it’s due to them refusing to fix a major flaw making theft trivially easy. Something like that, here’s a link I’m too lazy to read but looks related.

I like this one, it’s easy to say and clear.
- Comment on Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year 1 year ago:
Thx
- Comment on Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year 1 year ago:
Sounds like a new way to criminalize young people. Not from UK, can this be used to disenfranchise people?
- Comment on Slavery was abolished, so the rich are now trying to make economic oppression the equivalent of slavery. 1 year ago:
Reliance on the state to make things right is the fatal flaw. The purpose of the state is not to make our life better, it is to protect the powerful from us.
- Comment on What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It? 1 year ago:
I got that advice from a metal music fan site, offering care instructions for collectable tour shirts that you want to ensure remain a black as your soul.
Amazing.
- Comment on What if employers could gauge the ‘moods’ of workers? A dangerous new tech gains ground in India 1 year ago:
Plenty of people work for weapons manufacturers and such.
And those are bad people. If you work to build technology used to maintain power when you have an option not to, what else can that be called? These people are not desperate for a job.
I’m an engineer, I quit Intel (after the startup I worked for was acquired) because Intel powers much of the MI complex. I quit Illumina when it became clear I was directly assisting with state level genetic experiments. As an engineer I could easily get a job elsewhere where I was not directly contributing to the downfall of my fellow humans.
Take McDonald’s for example. There’s a difference between someone who needs a job working in a restaurant and an Engineer working for McDonald’s figuring out how to more efficiently slaughter animals paid only to be concerned about their employer’s profit – that engineer could go work to more efficiently bake cookies.

Mental Health Counseling.
Thanks, that’s a valid answer like I was looking for. Though we don’t have actual AI and probably won’t have actual AGI for at least a good decade (we currently have machine learning and complex decision trees which appear kinda intelligent to us in 2023).
- Comment on What if employers could gauge the ‘moods’ of workers? A dangerous new tech gains ground in India 1 year ago:
It’s about time we start holding the engineers building these technologies responsible directly.
I’m not talking about scientists expanding knowledge, I’m talking specifically about the engineers building these technologies.
Is mood recognition a tool useful for anything other than maintaining power over others (actually curious)?
- Comment on Do they also know C++ or Python? 1 year ago:
I can speak nested languages
puts “this is english”
- Comment on If bullshit jobs are *really* bullshit, how do businesses justify the expense? 1 year ago:
My guess is that it’s because it takes significant resources for management to identify which jobs are bs. But layoffs are not uncommon, and that’s a form of a business no longer justifying the expense of some jobs.
