- Comment on Couple spends close to $1,000,000 making their Texas family home 'optimized for LAN parties' and the result is pretty staggering 7 hours ago:
12 gaming PCs networked together for $1,000,000???
I think it’s bad reporting. It’s a $1M house that they spent $100k for a custom game room. No one is that stupid to pay that much for so little.
- Comment on AMD reveal new Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 processors, plus Ryzen AI 300 Series for laptops 5 months ago:
8000 series didn’t get a lot of press. It was a 7000 era CPU with a better GPU.
I’m personally waiting for 8000 series to come out in more of the mini PCs. I want a mini PC that has passible graphics
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 7 months ago:
Given that it takes a giant room of vacuum tubes to equal the computation power of a cabinet sized 1960’s transistorized computer and neither had anything close to the AI shown in Fallout, it isn’t hyper realistic.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 7 months ago:
They have ai robots where the intelligence comes from vacuum tube circuits.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 7 months ago:
Rapid wound healing doesn’t mean a bullet hole heals in seconds nor does it mean a crushed bone will magically straighten and fix itself.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 7 months ago:
It’s not hyper realistic. But it’s extremely entertaining.

A piece of paper that sticks to most things is a sticker. Because toilet paper will stick to damp things despite not being a sticker.
- Comment on How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer? 11 months ago:
In order for an AI to know what code to scrape from stack overflow
It’s a common assumption that gpt is only cutting and pasting what it found on Google. But it’s not true. I spent hours trying to find help with vba for Excel ( because I know neither) with no results other than function definitions. Gpt gave me working code that wasn’t anywhere on the Internet. It had to have pieced together the code based on the well documented function definitions.
I see it like Dalle and those other ai art programs. You can see the style they are copying to create the picture. But the ai generated pictures are not cut and pasted from images already on the Internet.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 11 months ago:
The fan blows air on the radiator. Those air molecules can’t physically touch the radiator. The electostatic forces of atoms keep everything separated. When you touch something, you are feeling the electrostatic force of your finger’s atoms pushing against the electrostatic force of the object’s atoms.
The electrostatic force (that is the electro magnetic force that electrons radiate) is actually photons. The particle of electromagnetism is the photon. When you touch something you are feeling the photons exchanging between the electrons in the atoms of your fingers and the object.
The definition of radiation is photon emission/absorption.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 11 months ago:
conduction
The metal atoms in the fins don’t move into the air. They stay on the fins. The fins’ atoms have to transfer their kinetic energy via photon exchange to the atoms in the air.
So conduction is radiation at atomic distances.

Air cooling is not as effective as water cooling,
It’s not that simple because air cooling in pcs today means a heatpipe. A heatpipe uses fluid (such as water under a vacuum) that boils at a low temperature. The phase transition of liquid to vapor transfers hundreds of more times heat than simple conduction of cold water running over the CPU.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization
It’s how refrigerator compressors work to cool things so effectively. The genius of a heat pipe is it works without an electric compressor ( this limits it’s cooling ability but it’s still genius).
So a heatpipe CPU air cooler with a 120mm radiator will outperform a water-cooler with a 120mm radiator in almost every situation. The advantage of water-cooling is you can make that radiator huge (280mm is typical today), and place it on one of the side/top panels of the case where air is cool instead of deep inside where the air is hot.
- Comment on Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me. 11 months ago:
How does heat get from the water radiator to the air?
Radiation.
Atoms don’t physically touch. The electrostatic force that both binds atoms into molecules and keeps molecules separated is mediated by photon exchange.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 11 months ago:
I was saying 1 in a thousand to die from COVID vs 1 in a million to have complications from the vaccine.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 11 months ago:
“The COVID-19 age-adjusted death rate for the age 65 and over population was 533.5 per 100,000 standard population.”
“the death rate for COVID-19 among adults aged 85 and over (1,645.0 per 100,000)”
www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db446.htm
Assuming the relative was somewhere between 65 and 85 puts it at around 1 in a thousand.
- Comment on Funny how it became bathroom use and imaginary things drag queens do... 11 months ago:
someone in their life that was adversely affected by the vaccine.
There are rare side effects. When someone brings it up, it’s important to acknowledge it but qualify the risk. .0001% of heart problem or .1 % of death. Tell them it’s like driving without a seat belt because of the 1 in a million chance you get in an accident where the seatbelt traps you. Meanwhile 77% of all people have been in an accident.
- Comment on Microchips 11 months ago:
Make the microchips shaped like tiny guns. Sell it as a premium. Do you want a communism vaccine or a $100 vaccine that comes with a premium microchip gun so you can tell your friends you are always packing.
- Comment on Brave truth teller. 11 months ago:
It’s as real as Kids requesting litter boxes
That was a more subtle disinformation deflection by conservatives. Schools did need litter boxes for mandated mass shooting lockdown preparations.
Instead of the horror of children needing to use litter boxes because American conservatives cant regulate their firearms, it was, “Haha, liberals want litter boxes for furries.”
