- Comment on Chicago schools tell Google they'd rather lose Search than be forced to accept AI 6 hours ago:
For exactly the reason I said.
I mean yah, not allowing kids access to the internet at all for school Isn’t a terrible idea. Certainly one worth exploring at least. But failing that, minimizing ads online is a good step in that direction.
- Comment on Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after alleged affairs 20 hours ago:
I have been actually! A few times!
I worked with autistic kids for almost a decade. Was sent home a few times when accusations were made. Each time I was cleared by video. And nobody ever said I aledgedly showed up to work that day.But my point is, the affairs are facts of the investigation, not accusations.
- Comment on Chicago schools tell Google they'd rather lose Search than be forced to accept AI 21 hours ago:
Schools shouldn’t ever use tools that interrupt a lesson with an ad.
And we don’t how much (if anything) it costs the school. It certainly doesn’t coat the student a subscription if that’s what you mean. - Comment on Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after alleged affairs 21 hours ago:
Investigatation? The affair isn’t a crime. There’s no investigation there. He says he had an affair, that’s closed.
The investigation is about his involvement and knowledge of the GPU smuggling.

Sure thing. Here I go. Fucking off…
- Comment on Jensen Huang resigns as Nvidia CEO after alleged affairs 23 hours ago:
Alleged!?
He admitted to it! Told his wife and everything. - Comment on Chicago schools tell Google they'd rather lose Search than be forced to accept AI 23 hours ago:
Chicago schools should realy contact Kagi. They announced they would be willing to work with schools that wanted out of Google’s AI experience for their students.
- Comment on What do people claim they know of but really don't? 1 week ago:
From the perspective of light, time itself doesn’t exist, so speed doesn’t exist.
- Comment on What is "open browsing"? And why is Reddit getting rid of it? 1 week ago:
They can then see how fast that account is injesting pages.
If it’s inhumanly fast they can stop it. - Comment on What do people claim they know of but really don't? 1 week ago:
Veritasium video about it.
- Comment on What is "open browsing"? And why is Reddit getting rid of it? 1 week ago:
It almost certainly about blocking AIs from scraping the site without paying.
- Comment on What do people claim they know of but really don't? 1 week ago:
Right. But it could be faster in one direction than the other, and we don’t have a way of knowing.
- Comment on When Coyote vs ACME got resurrected after it was completed , why not Batgirl movie be resurrected? 1 week ago:
The trailer for Diggeer looked bad also.
- Comment on What do people claim they know of but really don't? 1 week ago:
The speed of light from point A to B.
Seriously.
For complicated reasons every measurement of the speed of light is bouncing off something back to the source. It might be very different each way, and we can only average them. - Comment on When Coyote vs ACME got resurrected after it was completed , why not Batgirl movie be resurrected? 2 weeks ago:
that makes sense. Trailers always give a reliable impression of a movie.
- Comment on Would the problems of bombardment be resolved by building underground? 2 weeks ago:
👍
- Comment on Would the problems of bombardment be resolved by building underground? 2 weeks ago:
It does help. It’s one of the reasons the US is having such trouble with Iran. They spent 40 years putting important facilities 40+ feet underground. Which everyone knew before hand… Accept Rump 🙄
- Comment on What is the difference between a Server Farm and a Data Center? And how or why do data center's produce so much waste>? 3 weeks ago:
The terms are kind of interchangeable. They don’t have rigid technical definitions.
But a server farm could be doing anything. Serving up websites, hosting cloud storage, rendering movies, providing financial exchange services, scientific analysis, genuinely anything you might want a bunch of computers to do.
The main difference is scale. You could turn a spare bedroom into a small server farm. Data Centers are massive complexes usually dedicated to extremely intense compute tasks. The most intensive computing right now being AI stuff.

EEXTEERMINAATE!!!
- Comment on Meta ordered to pay $25 billion to New Mexico after jury finds company misled consumers about data privacy 3 weeks ago:
$12K per person?
$500 per violation?
Those are absolutely deterrent numbers!
How much do you think they make with each violation?
These are inline advertising numbers were talking about here. They probably don’t make $5 violation. - Comment on Meta ordered to pay $25 billion to New Mexico after jury finds company misled consumers about data privacy 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t mean to imply this amount would be applied nationally. I merely wanted to put it in perspective. It’s not small amount relative to the number people it represents.
- Comment on Meta ordered to pay $25 billion to New Mexico after jury finds company misled consumers about data privacy 3 weeks ago:
no living creature can abide […] corporations are people
- Comment on Meta ordered to pay $25 billion to New Mexico after jury finds company misled consumers about data privacy 3 weeks ago:
This is just New Mexico
I’d be quite suprised if they made that much from New Mexico. It would be nearly $12k per person. - Comment on Anthropic logged net loss of over $80 billion in first half of 2026 3 weeks ago:
Gotta have money to loose money
- Comment on Why don't people do Documentaries about the average person instead of someone who was in the news or pop culture? Like their neighbor or something. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know. I’m pretty booring

Most people are boring?
Maybe it’s just me - Comment on Why is it legal for Trump to short stocks, then bet against them? I mean he gets a shitload of money. But what about the common folk? 4 weeks ago:
Because the insider trading laws have a specific carve out for elected federal officials. It’s crazy, but true.
- Comment on How can Waymo operate Chinese made automobiles in the US? 4 weeks ago:
As far as I know DOT certifies vehicles for sale in the US. Individuals can import any vehicles they want. Each state has its own requirements for registration. Because remember, people can build their own cars and as long as they meet the requirements for that state, they can be driven on the roads.
- Comment on How can Waymo operate Chinese made automobiles in the US? 4 weeks ago:
They aren’t banned from import. They’re banned from sale. If you want to import one you bought yourself in China you can do that.
- Comment on What was the most suggestive "out of context" public conservation piece you've ever heard? 4 weeks ago:
An incomplete piece of a conversation.
