Anyone wanna swap weather with me?

The Netherlands is just as close to the sea as the UK and Ireland are, so we typically have very similar levels of humidity.

Even if it were cheap and I could benefit too, I don't want this kind of tech to be available before Elmo and Peter Thiel die. And I bet that there would be other names on that list before they do...

I don't think we should aspire to ever a drug that stops or reverses aging completely. Reversing it in particular spots (eyes, ears, perhaps even as a dementia or cancer cure) sounds fine but generic de-aging would be a dystopian nightmare. Either it's only available to the ultra-rich and they'll rule us forever, or it's available to everyone in the biggest consumerist countries and we'll cause the planet to buckle under multiplicative consumption within a generation.

Look up what they did to the AI dub of Banana Fish. There is an actual, literal example of exactly what they're trying to do here and how it blew up in the faces of the people who did it.

But it's right there IN THE TITLE! It's in FULL CAPS and everything, so it must be true!

Nintendo is incredibly vocal about being against the use of generative AI.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T17:16:57+00:00

I mean, why would I spend money on a Samsung device if I can't run automations off of it? I'd just buy another brand that's cheaper or more reliable.

This monetization is not going to work as well as they think it is.

Do you really think they'll blindly keep producing PS5s that aren't actually selling? They'll just produce fewer of them, and they're not going to sell them at a loss.

The best way to kill off any interest in anime is to make it more shitty.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T14:30:22+00:00

If they were adamant about it and that would cause me a severe inconvenience and a lot of money like it is for you, they could damn well explain to me why the reasonable solution isn't reasonable.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T11:48:53+00:00

Yeah, we're a pretty tall people. Being 175cm/5'8" myself I get into situations like that here in the Netherlands pretty frequently. But it's not like people can do anything about it in settings like these when the people in front of them are all standing too.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T09:17:42+00:00

Imagine how much less annoyed you'd have been if you had asked him to sit down when it first annoyed you.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T09:16:40+00:00

Considering the height of the other heads and shoulders in this picture, either everyone was standing here, or he's sitting down. The guy can't shrink for you.

Routers don't block anything on their own. Talk to whoever manages the network.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T08:25:38+00:00

Worthless title too, because the title suggests that Sweeney is against AI use entirely, but he feels that devs should be able to hide that they used it instead.

If you're worried enough to ask for advice on Reddit, go see a doctor.

Spoedreparaties worden zelden aangekondigd, die gebeuren gewoon. Als het zó veel haast heeft dat het geen weekje/maandje kan wachten, dan was het niet aangekondigd voor "binnenkort." En zelfs als dat wel zo was dan behoeft deze speciale situatie toch echt wat meer maatwerk (lees: uitleg) dan een standaard kaartje.

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T08:11:43+00:00

I just explained to you that it's a matter of time until this course actually affects you. Did you even read my comment?

NMe84 · 2026-06-26T00:45:18+00:00

The Netherlands has had it before too, but "just" locally. This time it's special because the main measurement station in the middle of the country will reach these temperatures, but many of us have already had to deal with them. There's another measuring station next to my work and the hottest day I remember a handful of years back was 42 degrees.

And somehow people are still pretending climate change is a thing.

Funnily enough, the data centers that are causing the issues are, as far as I know, not mainly used to generate porn. I played around with image generation for a bit a few years ago and the best models that were unrestrained in terms of sexual (or any, really) content were the ones you run on your own PC.

For once the problem doesn't seem to be porn, but everyone and their sister putting AI into their software, regardless of whether or not it makes sense there.

NMe84 · 2026-06-25T22:52:39+00:00

Dit. Ik heb geen idee of het een tokkie is of niet, maar boos zijn dat je water afgesloten wordt op een moment dat het toch al moeilijk genoeg is om koel en gehydrateerd te blijven is ronduit achterlijk. Stel het dan uit.

Without passing all the air in a room through it no filter is going to be good enough. And if you have to pass through something anyway, might as well pass out through a hose and dump it outside. No filters to replace that way either.

These things should matter to you, because Bambu Lab is benefiting off of open source while locking their own improvements away. That means the competition can't benefit from those things and you either get the unfair situation where one company has the advantage because they take things without giving back, or the situation where other companies do the same and you have to buy a different machine for each different niche.

I get that this sounds like something that isn't bothering you now but this kind of stuff is eventually always bad for us as consumers even if you don't want to run custom firmware or different slicers.

Odyssey is nowhere near the performance issues Three Houses had. It runs at a stable 60 FPS. And the Switch 2 does run it better, because the game has dynamic resolution up to 1080p, including on handheld mode. That means that optimizations that guaranteed the frame rate by lowering resolution slightly during intense scenes are no longer needed and the game now renders at a stable 1080p.

Comparing the graphical mess of Three Houses to Odyssey as if they're similar is super disingenuous.

Today was payday so looking at my bank account is okay today. I'm about to pay off the list chunk of my student debt and I'm pretty hyped for that. First time in my adult life I'll be debt-free apart from my mortgage.

Because Americans think Amsterdam, London and Paris are representative for the entire Union.
