2muchcoffeeman··on White House plan to break up iconic U.S. climate lab moves forward
Which is crazy.

Democratic voters would rather have someone opposed to their values in power and make worse the issue they supposedly care about.

2muchcoffeeman··on 3D-Knitting: The Ultimate Guide
Knitting by hand is for fun, with a by product of getting clothes. No one does it to make all their clothes, it’s highly impractical in this day and age.
2muchcoffeeman··on Long Range E-Bike (2021)
Easy for you to say. I’ve almost hit a couple stupid kids on an e-bikes with throttles riding on suburban roads at night with no lights.

And I’m seeing more and more fuckwits ride fast on side walks and accelerate to jump of the sidewalk and into traffic. Almost hitting unsuspecting people on the sidewalk.

Community needs to police itself. Otherwise it’s just going to be waiting for a critical mass of deaths.

2muchcoffeeman··on Leaving Google has actively improved my life
I’ve been using DDG since they started. But still often use !g.

But I think the AI overviews in DDG and even Google have helped a lot.

AI has helped search tremendously. I only search for things that should have exact answers.

2muchcoffeeman··on Windows 11 Notepad to support Markdown
Funny comment because this would have been WordPad.
2muchcoffeeman··on Shatner is making an album with 35 metal icons
Only in earth’s frame of reference. He spent a long time at warp. So he’s really only 65
2muchcoffeeman··on Keybee: A Keyboard Designed for Smartphones
I’ve always thought about copying other useful apps that are clearly trying to collect data or make you pay for stupid IAP, and then publishing and maintaining it through donations. The apps would all be free in the various offical stores.
2muchcoffeeman··on Toyota’s hydrogen-powered Mirai has experienced rapid depreciation
How do you solve aeronautical and maritime applications?
2muchcoffeeman··on Facebook is cooked
All social media is like this though. It’s all garbage.

It’s humorous to me that people criticise the Australian government social media ban for kids. Sure they will get around it. But at least they are looking at various avenues to get rid of this shit. Might fail, but good they had a go.

2muchcoffeeman··on OpenAI should build Slack
It’s fine if you want a barebones chat.
2muchcoffeeman··on Babylon 5 is now free to watch on YouTube
This is the first loony conspiracy theory I’ve seen posted on HN
2muchcoffeeman··on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling
Dumb argument. They don’t intentionally make Nutella addictive and then test out recipes on the public to make it even more addictive. Other people can’t stop eating ice cream or oranges or salami.

because some people suffer from mental health issues and need help and encouragement to break these behaviours.

And companies should not be allowed to predate on the vulnerable.

2muchcoffeeman··on New York’s budget bill would require “blocking technology” on all 3D printers
I built my Prusa from a kit and was interested in the internals, but I was always annoyed I spent more time working on the printer sometimes than learning CAD.

And the Prusa is a real workhorse. I’ve only had a couple problems in almost a decade.

A lot of the hobby is people printing out useless things. But the it doesn’t even work for people who are interested in learning CAD. There’s no surprised everyone is turning to Bambu. So will I when my Prusa breaks or there’s a sale too hard to pass up.

2muchcoffeeman··on New York’s budget bill would require “blocking technology” on all 3D printers
Too bad everyone jumped shipped to Bambuu Labs. If only we still had open source hardware.
2muchcoffeeman··on List animals until failure
Without considering if it’s a distinct species, a dingo is descended from the same wolf population as dogs.

They are feral dogs. IE wolf -> domesticated dog -> became wild again.

2muchcoffeeman··on Grid: Free, local-first, browser-based 3D printing/CNC/laser slicer
You clearly don’t have any context into what Chinese companies have been doing when it comes to OSS. Being OSS doesn’t mean you can do what you want.
2muchcoffeeman··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Same same. What are they going to build? An AI bot or a bot controlled by a human?

AI bot of course. Assuming it can move fast enough and is powerful enough, won’t work without competent AI.

2muchcoffeeman··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
It’s being valued on the hope that they will crack full self driving. People still believe they will crack it.
2muchcoffeeman··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
That’s not agile’s fault. That’s the orgs fault.

We used to have a few days set aside regularly to fix things that would never get prioritised.

2muchcoffeeman··on Heathrow scraps liquid container limit
I saw them do this to a few others in line.
2muchcoffeeman··on Heathrow scraps liquid container limit
Once at a security checkpoint to a museum in Shanghai, they saw my water bottle, and then told me to take it out and drink from it.
2muchcoffeeman··on Judge order bars feds from altering or destroying evidence in Pretti shooting
How does it help when Trump governs by veto? Won’t be just veto it all?
2muchcoffeeman··on Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability
God damn it. I just got a four pack.
2muchcoffeeman··on Judge order bars feds from altering or destroying evidence in Pretti shooting
Why was such an order needed? Seems like this should be the default and if you are caught tampering, straight to jail.
2muchcoffeeman··on jQuery 4
Two Reacts!?
2muchcoffeeman··on What life is like in Minneapolis now
Why would any of this be effective? They drastically reduced the duration of training ICE agents and drastically increased numbers. You should assume they are all incompetent.
2muchcoffeeman··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
Is there a list of all the infractions that might have put a country on this list?
2muchcoffeeman··on US to suspend immigrant visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says
What did Fiji do!?
2muchcoffeeman··on The insecure evangelism of LLM maximalists
Are people not reviewing and refactoring LLM code?
