- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 1 day ago:
Irrespective he won the popular vote with nearly 80 million. Calling that “little” is obscenely stupid.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 1 day ago:
It sounds like I understand the right wing quite a bit.
My dude, we elected a man who just was forced to pay out for sexual assault and defamation. Things are not as good as you seem to think.

Your father didn’t spend much time screaming at Fox News growing up, I take it. Lol.
That’s like saying there is a “small minority” of Americans who were willing to vote for a known rapist, pedophile, and convicted felon. It’s a big enough group.

Unfortunately we just don’t do that. In Europe they call them consumer protections. Here we call them “regulations” and complain endlessly about how they hurt business
- Comment on A rare steam gift cards are still in the wild 2 days ago:
Huh. I was wondering what this was about. Guess I’m out of the loop.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
Oh, no, I think you would need a different phone for every app.
- Comment on Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'" 1 week ago:
Given that it is designed as a general platform that makes zero sense.
Also, why is anyone holding their breath for Valve of all people to produce games?
- Comment on CD Player for the Steam Machine 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I have one. It is great.
- Comment on 'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube 2 weeks ago:
Seems likely.
- Comment on Spider-Man Remastered, Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales all get AMD FSR upgrades 3 weeks ago:
It does mean that they are actively maintaining the existing games. Not bad news there.
- Comment on 'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube 3 weeks ago:
What you are describing requires a bit of introspection that many racists don’t seem to be capable of.
- Comment on 'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely, but it still feels like there is booze involved.
- Comment on 'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube 4 weeks ago:
My guess would be that it also involved more than a little bit of alcohol.
- Comment on Engineer turns disposable vape pen into a working web server 1 month ago:
Huh. Hadn’t looked up the original specs in… Ever? Idk. Operating system: MS-DOS 5.0 or higher Processor: Intel 486 DX2/66 MHz or equivalent RAM memory: 4 MB Hard drive: 10 MB free space Sound card: compatible with Sound Blaster
Looks like you are correct without an upgrade.

Medicine is not a codec.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 4 months ago:
If everything is the size of standard bricks, then no.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 4 months ago:
That thing isn’t going to drive a servo.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 4 months ago:
No mindstorms shit in that form factor.
- Comment on AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack 5 months ago:
Fundamentally that’s all these systems are actually doing is rearranging the words they’re trained on. They’re not really fundamentally capable of coming up with anything on their own just mixing up words that are strongly correlated with the input.
- Comment on AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack 5 months ago:
You also had it right in the first place. Very likely that the training data sets could have included random files and password leaks. I don’t think they’re discriminating at this point.

Oh, ok.
- Comment on Trump’s Department of Transportation Plans to Use AI to Draft New Regulations 5 months ago:
You mean by fucking things up, endlessly praising the decision, having it forcibly reversed, and then having him boast that he solved the problem that he created?
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 6 months ago:
Guessing how close or far we are from any given computing breakthrough is bound to be wrong.
I wouldn’t be shocked if some governments were pouring money into this in secret.
- Comment on Fear that quantum computing is on the cusp of cracking cryptocurrency's encryption spurs a global investment firm to remove Bitcoin from recommendations 6 months ago:
Prime factorization is one. Another is an asymptotically faster Fourier transform.
There are several tricks in signal processing that have faster analogs in a quantum implementation. Those cool tricks are the foundation of much more complicated transformations and algorithms.
There is an entire complexity class you can read up in: Bounded Quantum Polynomial Time (BQP).

- Comment on Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year 8 months ago:
Going to take a metric fuckton of work to vet.
Better: Tiered system like unreal or whatever:
- Below a certain threshold no %
- After the next mark 5%
- Next go to 10% . . . Repeat up to 30%. Sony will cough up immediately. Smaller devs may never get hit or may get hit pretty easily for a while.

Yea, ton of things marketed as indie don’t fit the bill.
