  Yes, but that means unconsciousness (and later death).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Substack says it could be profitable — but it still isn’t⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like that boy in 8th grade could totally bang 100 chicks and jump over 5 cars with his bike. He just doesn’t want to.

  No, line must go up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t want to pay employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI coding assistants do not boost productivity or prevent burnout, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also my experience. It sometimes tries to be smart and gets everything wrong.

  I think code shows clearly, that LLMs don’t actually understand what’s written. Often enough you can clearly see it trying to insert a common pattern even though that doesn’t make sense at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transparent solar cell technology could allow smartphones and cars to self-charge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a very simple phone from Samsung a few years back that had a solar cell on the back.

  Since the battery lasted over a week anyway, you could easily double the battery life by just having it in indirect light.

  Modern phones are guzzling so much power that it’s hardly useful there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one of the reasons I lost almost all interest in games.

  It already costs an arm and a leg to stay somewhat on top of the hardware requirements, I can’t justify to myself also investing hundreds of hours into essentially busy work.

  I don’t enjoy fetching Fred’s uncle’s magic shovel of doom from a stupid generic dungeon 4h away.

  Maybe I’m weird, but I use games more like interactive movies. I want a story, not some artificial and ultimately pointless “challenge”.
