Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • Using AI for trading

    Jump

  • What's most annoying to me about the fisasco is that things people used to be okay with like ML that have always been lumped in with the term AI are now getting hate because they're "AI".

  • What super powers when used together create an infinite glitch?

    Jump

  • As long as the amount of energy it takes for them to fly upwards some amount is less than the amount of energy it would take for them to physically move upwards then you've got free energy. I only used superman as an example because he's probably the most iconic example of effortless flight. Compare it to characters like bird man that flap wings to fly.

    Even if somehow there is not a single example of a character that doesn't use energy to fly and every author made up some strange way to collect energy, you've still made a hyper efficient power plant using a previously unusable energy source. Like if they get power from something like "magic" in the air that recharges over time, then that's still a brand new energy source.

    Or just fucking teleporting lol

  • Your task is to blow a job interview in the first 30 seconds. What do you do?

    Jump

  • It was something that radical feminists used to say a few years back.

    Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying I agree with this sentiment nor am I saying it's something I think is reflective of progressives, but it's a controversial thing to say that will make a lot of people angry. It was just an example of something that makes a lot of people angry.

  • What super powers when used together create an infinite glitch?

    Jump

  • Super powers are already an infinite glitch. Theyre supernatural so are inherently glitches. Things like flight, like super man flight, generally don't take effort from the user so already break thermodynamics in small ways. But if you're breaking a law of nature at all you're already going infinite.

    Imagine you have a bunch of people with this style of flight. Imagine a sort of ski lift device but unpowered. Have them fly to the top and ride it down. Because no weight is going up, only down, the ski lift doesn't need to be powered. Additionally, because it doesn't take power (food) for people to fly up, then you get free energy extracted at the bottom.

    Congratulations, you have created a perpetual energy device with a single super power.

  • Your task is to blow a job interview in the first 30 seconds. What do you do?

    Jump

  • I'm zeroing in on a better method. I think "I no longer want this job and have accepted another. I am ineligible to work in this country. I am a felon." seems like a pretty good.

  • Your task is to blow a job interview in the first 30 seconds. What do you do?

    Jump

  • If I'm genuinely speed running this and don't have consequences is probably drop slurs followed by multiple, conflicting extreme political opinions involving violence and the like. The goal is that even if you find a racist who is excited about your slurs you can hit 'em with extreme progressive takes like "kill all men" or something.

    Worst case, after saying a bunch of bad things and conflicting opinions they'll probably still just think you're odd.

    A better but boring answer, just say "nevermind, I don't want this job" first thing. lol.

  • United argues 'window seat' does not mean 'seat with a window'

    Jump

  • Well, yeah, that's what the controversy is. They're saying "window seat" implies sitting in the opposite of the aisle, not necessarily having a window. (Which is BS. People take it to mean window.) So they're saying it's not a bait and switch.

  • AI won't become a bubble as long as everyone stays 'thoughtful and disciplined,' Microsoft's Brad Smith says

    Jump

  • Yes, they need thoughtful and disciplined bag holders diamond handed individuals.

  • Advertising without Cookies

    Jump

  • Prefer Privacy Badger over Ghostery. It's been a while but my understanding is Ghostery sells some data about your data blocking habits. I switched like 8 years ago so I don't remember the details. It's made by the EFF which is a very good organization.

  • Y'all seen Furryosa, now here's Syzygy.

    Jump

  • Advertising without Cookies

    Jump

  • It's so annoying having to tell every site every time that I don't want cookies. Shouldn't it remember? Isn't there a way to save a small amount of data client side and send it with the request? That sounds like a good idea. I don't see it going badly.

  • Advertising without Cookies

    Jump

  • Me: "I am going to the grocery store."

    Google: "Groceries, go go go!"

    Me: "I've bought groceries."

    Google: "Another win!"

  • Happens way too often😮‍💨

    Jump

  • It's important to realize that convincing someone of something is not immediately evident. They didn't even necessarily know themselves. It's possible she never repeated that "fact" because of what you said.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

    Jump

  • I think the same about the sandwich company that asked people to share how they "top their subs".

  • How do you count on your fingers? How high can you count?

    Jump

  • If I need to count higher than 25ish I need to use something better than my hands. I know I can use binary but it's too much effort. I just count sets of five on one hand and the partial sets on the other.

  • The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing"

    Jump

  • The most generous thing I can think is that facial structure is not a protected class in the US so they're saying it's technically okay to descriminate against.

  • Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame

    Jump

  • "I want what steam is making but I'm not willing to improve service OR charge less!"

  • Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame

    Jump

  • It's fucking wild. Like, I love Steam, don't get me wrong, but holy shit just suck less (edit: than other stores do) and charge less (edit: of devs) and you could gobble up a lot of that market share. But none of them do.
