  • LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

    Jump

  • Doesn’t the Apple TV remote also have a trackpad as it’s main control?

  • SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers

    Jump

  • Indeed, the plan for SpaceX is to literally launch computers into orbit to have orbiting data centers.

    No, I cannot explain why this seems like a good idea to anybody. Beyond, “Elon Musk likes juicing his stock by announcing useless sci-fi plans that won’t come true”

  • Workers Say AI Is Useless, While Oblivious Bosses Insist It's a Productivity Miracle

    Jump

  • It's undeniable that AI is great at problems with tight feedback loops, like software engineering

    I, CandleTiger, do hereby deny that AI is great at software engineering.

  • PSA: Topeak.com is currently compromised, do not visit or place any orders from them for the time being.

  • Any context for this? Is there supposed to be a link with more information?

  • Trump drops tariff threats over Greenland after meeting with NATO chief.

    Jump

  • The problem is that Venezuela looked just like that too, until the fuckers actually invaded the capital, bombed it, and kidnapped their leader.

    So did Minneapolis, now they’re working really hard at starting a civil war.

    It’s like you roll the dice, 9 out of 10 times it turns into useless mouth noises and 1 out of 10 they actually do it.

    Hard to stay relaxed and laugh about this shit, man.

  • Anyone else?

    Jump

  • I don’t think that’s an autism thing. I think that’s just a thing for people who don’t have enough meaning and purpose in their life to feel like they had a day’s worth of experiences yet when the day is over.

    Which is a LOT of us.

  • Hints to fit with neutotypicals?

    Jump

  • Not diagnosed autistic just super nerdy person here so take this story for what it’s worth:

    I changed schools a lot when I was a kid and had wildly different experiences depending on the school. Mostly varying between bad and very bad. As a kid all the other kids hated me and I never could understand why. I still can’t understand — I don’t know at all what was different about me that everyone could tell right away they needed to insult me — but whatever it was they sure saw it.

    In 8th grade for the first time something clicked and I fit in and had friends instead of being the outcast. But I think the change was much more in the people I was going to school with (magnet program for nerds) than in myself.

    After having the experience of having friends, fitting in, and being relaxed in a group for a year without worrying they will attack me, I learned how to be a social person and I can (roughly) fit in and be comfortable with most groups since then. People didn’t attack me anymore after that and still don’t, which is quite wonderful for me.

    How to get that experience for yourself on purpose? I think it would be really hard.

    My best advice is to find some kind of club or group or sport or something, where a group of people are all there because they’re passionate about the thing, and that group really cares about outreach and teaching and spreading that passion. It helps if you already have a passion for the thing of course but it isn’t required.

    Find a group of people who are actively looking for new friends and care more about whatever the topic is than about whether you are socially adept, and let them accept you/work together as you all work a shared passion and become friends through that shared group activity. Whether it’s gardening or weightlifting the topic doesn’t matter — what matters is the people are friendly and enthusiastic about spreading their joy for this topic (and you don’t hate it).

    For me it was computers and cross-country running team. For my friend it really was weightlifting which believe it or not has enthusiastic nerd outreach groups.

    If you get lucky, such a group will teach you how to fit in with them which is transferable knowledge.

    Finding a welcoming group or club like that is hard. Keep your eyes open and look actively for it.

    Good luck to you and best wishes for success. It’s a hard world.

  • [Question] Can I use Whole Grain bread for Bread Pudding? How should I tweak the recipe?

    Jump

  • My partner made bread pudding once out of stale whole wheat bread and it was great. She just followed her usual recipe.

    The bread pudding tasted .. whole-wheatier. Richer, fuller, less empty. I guess if you like whole wheat bread you will like this more than normal and if you don’t then you will like this less than normal.

  • Humanoid showdown: Chinese firms make up 55% of robot exhibitors at US tech event

    Jump

  • it is the only thing giving them an advantage over the USA

    That’s really not true at all anymore. China is an absolute manufacturing powerhouse. Almost all of the industry that used to be the USA’s strength in the ‘50s is China’s strength now.

    They haven’t been the cheapest labor anymore for a while now and they don’t need to be.

    Don’t get me wrong, the USA has other, newer strengths now — tech and design, among others. But they do appear to be throwing them away and ceding to others — especially China — as hard and fast as they can.

    On the other hand, humanoid shape for robots seems like an extreme waste of technical complexity and cost, so in my opinion this particular article is mostly showing up how China is also beating the USA at being faddish and dumb following tech fashion.

  • Is this for real? That’s incredibly stupid.

  • New York City Housing Authority to Replace Gas Stoves With Battery-Backed Induction Stoves in 100 Apartments Under Energy-Efficiency Pilot Program

    Jump

  • That’s a fair amount of backup battery and inverter power to run a stove, too. Awesome that that’s cheap enough to install en masse.

    Jump

  • If you want to get advantage from a speculative fund making a bet on a popped bubble, then you need to be already invested now, before the bubble bursts. (And also, you/your fund need to be right that it’s really about to pop now, and not later)

    Once the race is over it’s too late to bet on the ponies.

  • People who have been to psych wards before, how was it?

    Jump

  • That would make me nervous

  • People who have been to psych wards before, how was it?

    Jump

  • All the descriptions I’ve seen so far sound very much like my sister’s experience in eastern USA. I feel like there’s no info here to say whether it’s the same in Brazil or wildly different.

    If it was me looking for the info I’d ask the question again in Portuguese

  • Last Year on My Mac: Look back in disbelief – The Eclectic Light Company

    Jump

  • I mean.. it’s not slop. It’s a good, old-fashioned well-supported rant about how Apple has abandoned good user interface design.

    <old man shakes fist at cloud>

    I do wish that anal-retentive, careful, thoughtful geeks would come back into power in place of flashy shallow thinkers.

    But I can’t say I expect shaking fists at clouds is likely to accomplish much.
