- Comment on Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief 1 week ago:
I really have to wonder where all this doomsaying is coming from. Best case, as you already mentioned, serving some self-interest, worst case someone else’s. There is so much conflation here - AI and internet, infrastructure and services, research and commercial development. And everything is downplayed to make the EU look bad.
The EU is right there at the forefront of AI research for example. Just because some megacorp can sell slop at a loss, this doesn’t mean we have ‘lost the race’ or anything, wth are they even talking about.
You see stuff like this constantly and it’s almost always corpo leeches trying to get state money, people sucking up to or being controlled by a superpower of choice or someone who has no idea what they are even talking about.
One final example: The German Telekom is the largest telco/internet provider by revenue in the fucking world, and competitive in the US. (Only by revenue tho.)
- Comment on Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice 3 weeks ago:
Okay, so if I come up with a random question about some Framework, your brain will give me the answer?
- Comment on Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice 3 weeks ago:
I use LLMs on a daily basis as a search engine replacement and, to a limited degree, for coding (e.g. comments, boilerplate). I am not against it coming to my browser in principle, but on the other hand, I can just visit Lumo, Duck AI or whatever else to have AI in my browser. So the Mozilla basically has to find an answer to the question of why I need more.
- Comment on Study reveals that dark web users show significantly higher levels of depression, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, self-injury, and digital self-harm compared to surface web users 5 weeks ago:
Oh yes? Who says that? God I can’t take it, I swear I’m gonna cut myself… irl and in Minecraft.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 5 weeks ago:
I appreciate that you have taken the time to verify and correct them. This is using AI exactly as it is meant to be used for once.
What you didn’t mention tho: Have you searched these articles for false nagatives? Did you get any false positives? Because the result sounds nice, but it doesn’t have to be.
If ChatGPT overlooks too many errors, it might improve quality, but at the same time give you a false sense of security/correctness.
- Comment on Poems Can Trick AI Into Helping You Make a Nuclear Weapon 1 month ago:
Even states that really want to can’t just build a nuke, and most people are short about a state to do so

So testing in production basically
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 2 months ago:
I thought Wikipedia doesn’t accept anything that seems AI generated? In other words, the worse the article the smaller the chance it will make it on the platform

pandayoo sounds like an anime fake version of Yahoo
- Comment on New 7-Zip high-severity vulnerabilities expose systems to remote attackers — users should update to version 25 ASAP 2 months ago:
Yeah, sure, and the remote hackers access my system how exactly to run 7-Zip? Do they use the well know ZIP-socket Linux exposes, designed to unzip stuff for random people in case of archival emergencies?
- Comment on A Flagship Smartphone With Kill Switches? Meet the Murena-Powered HIROH Phone 3 months ago:
The HIROH Phone (Powered by Murena) is available for pre-sale. You can pay a €/$ 99 deposit to reserve your device and get a voucher to buy it later for €/$ 999, discounted from the retail price of €/$ 1,199.
1,200 moneys is an absurd price for a phone like that IMO. You can get a Fairphone for literally half that. I’m not so sure there is a market for ‘premium privacy phones’ that is not already satisfied by (also significantly cheaper) Pixels with GrapheneOS
- Comment on UltraRAM scaled for volume production — memory that promises DRAM-like speeds, 4,000x the durability of NAND, and data retention for up to a thousand years, is now ready for manufacturing 4 months ago:
RAM = accessible anywhere (very simply put) D = Dynamic = loses data if power is gone
This is NVRAM tech, NV standing for ‘non volatile’. That means it keeps the data if power is lost. You only need to re-write if you read that data. There is probably a hardwired option to do this immediately, perhaps even capacitors to ensure this goes through even if you happen to lose power that very moment.
Consumes extra energy, may add some latency to reads, but there’s more to being fast and non-volatile at the same time. May be wort it, may be not.
- Comment on In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen 5 months ago:
Oh, sorry, yes I mean a microwave + convection oven combo. Didn’t know how to translate that properly. My mom got one and it’s basically an air frier, a microwave and a mini-oven in one. Pretty cool stuff
- Comment on In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen 5 months ago:
Ingl, a microwave oven with air circulation is pretty neat. That last part is important tho
- Comment on China’s First High-End Gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100, Reportedly Outperforms NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 & Slightly Behind the RTX 5060 in New Benchmarks 5 months ago:
Uhm, excuse me, but I don’t think the 5060 qualifies as “high-end”. I’m not saying that matching it is not an achievement, but that headline is weird at best
