Yep, whole lot of people echo what they read in they’re social media echo chambers. Feelings and opinions thrown around like they are facts.

Granted this problem has always existed but I believe the overuse of the internet and social media has made it worse.

Prime example, bunch my friends who would definitely be Democrat voters (just bring it up as they are very much not maga supporters), despite me bringing up research showing the very clear negative side effects that Facebook had on people even 10+ years ago… Every last one of them ignored it and each one thought they were the exception.

There are a bunch of lithium ion chemistries that have come to market more recently

Like what? [Citation required]

If you think rechargeable battery R&D from 10 years ago isn’t making it into mass produced products today, you’re just not paying attention.

Please provide examples.

I mean, as much as a person who doesn’t work in research and development of energy storage, or work in industries directly related to it, I personally feel I’ve kept up. The day Donut Labs announced their battery I was watching review videos about it, and I want to believe, but until I see it for purchase, I’m not going to call it a win.

I mean, there’s like ~22 phases for ice alone.

Na, I’m looking at the RAY-BAN META GLASSES and they look strait out of some 1970s/1980s “I work at NASA/IBM” movie. Still dorky.

Weird, I didn’t know Lithium-Ion batteries were still in the lab. I thought for sure we were using those already. I thought the batteries in the labs were various solid-state batteries like graphene or like this sodium-ion battery, where there’s been a rise in patents around it but not a lot delivered

I wanna make sure I got this right. They used $20,000 in fees in 2 weeks to make a compiler? Also, to what end? Like what’s the expected ROI on that?

Watched Cohh play it, it’s a pass for me. The gameplay loop isn’t my style. But it was fun watching someone go from ‘this game is so good!’ to just anger, lol. Some of the music is kind of catchy.

Listen I hate the unreal engine with a passion. But I also hate their engine with a passion. This amount of tech debt that thing has is incredible, and that’s not a good thing.

Unless they’ve started over from scratch but just kept the name I expected to be a piece of crap.

My mom made a point to teach me and my sister when we were kids. We even had to plan dinners and cook it. I then made a point to take home ec in middle school. But my mom has a collection of cookbooks she is very proud of. She reads cookbooks like people read fiction books.

Home cooking was a staple for my family. My grandparents raised my mom and her brothers on the farm. For a little while I even lived on that farm. But even though we mostly lived in town for most of my life, the fact that most meals were home cooked didn’t change.

I disagree, clearly. Owning would be “yes, I messed up, I used AI to write my process and didn’t bother reviewing any of it, I took shortcuts”. That and just that. Using “I was feeling sick” is deflecting blame instead of owning it.

I don’t care he’s “sick”. Too often, someone, instead of taking accountability, just throws anything to maybe shield themselves from actually being fully accountable. “I was sick”, “Family problems”, “A recent death”, “The planets were misaligned that day”, etc.

I find it to still be cowardice, to not stand by and own what you said, even if it was wrong. He used AI and got caught. And going forward, I’ll be treating Ars Technica as an unreliable AI-generated “news source”.

I’ve no idea what kind of duct this is, I just thought it was a good looking duck.

I’m going to keep up my tradition and send an unsolicited duck pic (yes, quack quack) to a friend.

Then going to the science museum with a different friend.

Social media year over year shows it was a mistake.

Listen, I hate everyone in my government right now. But to just imply this is somehow a single country’s fault, by a single dumbass president… is just fucking wild. We pollute the most? Feel free to back that up, my dude.

Per hour, yes.

It does read like that. That various “superiors” were “encouraging” people to go see it in the theater. Pretty much the only way to inflate the numbers and avoid “military uses millions of dollars to buy tickets for a movie”.

So Ubisoft, that failed hard on their own launcher. Made several mistakes when it comes to the games they’ve released, made the wrong kind of news with “The Crew 2”, cancelled a bunch of games (but don’t worry, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is definitely coming out…), goes and fired a lead designer.

Let me break out my magnifying glass to check on their stocks. Oh, they made a slight “comeback” from earlier this week, they’re up to 92 cents a share.

Mgmt at that place is making bold decisions for a company; when if their stock gains a penny, it’s worth celebrating.

🤞

No, it’s a long-known fact that the Windows code has been shit for decades. That’s been known since at least XP days I think. Pretty sure I first heard about it on TechTV
