  • Matter of Taste

    Jump

  • Watt-Hours are quite possibly the stupidest measurement of energy. „Oh let’s take a unit of joules per second and multiply it by a bunch of seconds. What do you think we get?“ Apparently not fucking joules.

    And then applying SI prefixes to them? Absolutely perverse.

  • What Youtubers did you drop, And what caused you to do so?

    Jump

  • Surprised it has shown up here already but Bon Appetit. I was watching a lot of it over lockdown in 2020, and then at the end of that year the channel blew up thanks to a mass staff exodus due to discrimination.

  • Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

    Jump

  • And even better, that can be done entirely deterministicly, and once written, free to use! Instead of fixing the root cause they’re using the ultimate hammer. It’s such a cognitive surrender and a complete moral sellout.

  • YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

    Jump

  • Yeah I mentioned that incident elsewhere in this thread. It was my only time seeing his content and his response was enough to get me to not watch more. That video was so obnoxiously paternalistic and people were rather mild in how they pointed it out. He just doubled down.

  • YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

    Jump

  • I’ve only really run in to him when he caused grief with the knitting community with a video that had a bunch of misinformation and talking down to knitters („women have been doing this highly technical thing without maths education for hundreds if not thousands of years, here’s a bunch of male scientists to explain what they already know in more formalised and unnecessary language to them“). His reaction to the community‘s criticism soured me on him.

  • It was definitely on NZ TV. I think it was part of Squirt‘s lineup.

  • Angel is pretty good but takes a season or so to find its feet.

  • ænyøne with me?

    Jump

  • You just ordered 1000L of milk.

  • Senator Calls for Mamdani to Be Arrested and Sent to Guantanamo

    Jump

  • Tommy Tuberville sounds like a Stan Lee character that Spider-Man fights as a villain when he tries to go on holiday.

  • Google Maps said a hike would take 5 hours. B.C. rescuers pointed out how wrong that was

    Jump

  • Willkommen in Deutschland. Yeah, Google added a „this restaurant has a lot of deleted reviews“ thing because German laws make it very easy for them to take down any criticism (unless customers can prove they were there with a receipt).

  • Generative AI Is an Engineering Disaster. A shockingly inefficient trillion-dollar project.

    Jump

  • I feel like calling „hallucinations“ a side effect isn’t really describing the issue properly. They’re not a side effect, nor are they hallucinations. It implied that there’s somehow something that distinguishes „correct“ output from „incorrect“. There isn’t, it’s all just output. The output resembling actual factual reality is statistical chance.

  • Is this a rope hanging under a helicopter?

    Jump

  • One has to assume the body of the helicopter is a perfectly spherical cow.

  • Behold the future of programming

    Jump

  • I hate it because it’s generally intensely US-centric. Not understanding non-US accents or terms.

  • borrow checker?

    Jump

  • Rust takes a lot of getting used to if you’re more familiar with C-derived languages but it’s very cool. I’d recommend something small and not needing asynchronous code to begin with (async Rust is… hairy)

  • Think pineapple on pizza is a divisive subject? Get ready for pineapple nachos!

    Jump

  • There was a coffee shop in my home town that did nachos with black olives. It was not as bad as you might expect.

  • What the Entertainment Software Association did

    Jump

  • It’s pretty miserable to play solo unless you tweak the settings heavily, and I’m saying that as someone tackling GregTech New Horizons solo at the moment.

  • TIL the country code for Switzerland is CH and is derived from Latin name for Switzerland, Confoederatio Helvetica

    Jump

  • How will the chuds, gooners and snobs who fansplains in pedantic verbosity over a Sci fi movie misconception respond with trying to think of anything clever to say now?

    Jump

  • Where are you hanging out that has you so bitter over gifs? Find a better community or friends.

  • Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

    Jump

  • No you’re just confident despite your ignorance. Turning waste heat into electromagnetic radiation is not easy or efficient - 100 to 350W per square meter in current space craft. The sheer scale of radiators necessary in a orbital data centre would dwarf the footprint of the servers themselves.
