BurnGpuBurn··on Italian chef fired after refusing to put pineapple on pizza
this feels as entirely AI written
BurnGpuBurn··on Nine killed as small jet crashes on Florida street
I also noticed the quickly released ATC audio and also didn't listen to it.

I saw an interview with the son of a 9/11 victim last month. One of the things he said was: "anybody can see my father die on youtube". Really stuck with me.

I'd rather recommend someone Plone [0] at this point, reading these comments.

BurnGpuBurn··on Drupal is now light-years ahead of its reputation
The fact that an AI can now generate fantastic code in a language says nothing about said language.
BurnGpuBurn··on EA is shutting down BioWare
> his true character isn't obvious on a few listens

You must have put yourself through some horrible times then, given that you clearly dislike the guy a ton, but have listened to a lot of his content to asses his "true character".

> Sometimes he reviews shit he hasn't even seen or played because he wants to get in on the discussion.

That's a sweet but also very baseless accusation. You should do better research.

> Every woman lead is a diversity hire, but every male lead in a bad movie is just an "unfortunate miss."

I very much doubt he calls every woman lead a diversity hire. I think you are overreacting and putting him in the chuds tribe you are already very opinionated about.

BurnGpuBurn··on British billionaire warned Epstein was a 'sexual deviant'
Checks out in the sense that "everybody knew". Also, article mentions Epstein died in prison, which is just laughable at this point. But I wouldn't expect The Guardian to be truthful about that, given their reputation.

Another day, another enshittification of a Microsoft product. Nothing new here.
BurnGpuBurn··on Americans Love the Roar of a V-8 Engine–and They Don't Want to Give It Up
Bit of a dishonest statement, "They don't want to give it up". As if it's a given that everybody has to drive electric in the future. But the WSJ is filled with what Washington wants I guess.
BurnGpuBurn··on ASRock BC-250: Building the Budget Steam Machine
I am often impressed the potatoes Cyberpunk will run on. Even runs on my retro i3-4130 with GTX 1050 Ti box.
BurnGpuBurn··on Have I Been Pwned 2.0
1) The search function has disappeared from the home page.

2) When clicking "details" on one of the search results, and then the back button, the search results disappear.

3) Other than that, thanks man great service!

BurnGpuBurn··on The Frontend Treadmill
Funny story.

I started a new job in 2017 rewriting a rather large website with tons of functionality. The old one had to be replaced because it wasn't maintained and started to become a security issue.

I started doing JS and React/Redux for that job, and just as I was getting the hang of it React broke all my knowledge by coming up with "the modern way of writing React components", hooks. In my opinion there was absolutely nothing wrong with the old way of writing components. I never rewrote my now more than year old project, kept using the normal way of writing React components, which was still allowed. Two years later the depreciation messages started flashing by in the build process, and I was looking at a moutain of work having to refactor the complete front end.

Luckily I was able to move on to other things. But React always left the taste in my mouth of "don't, it auto-breaks after time".

I recently visited this old employer, and they have now hired a new coder to rebuild the old website, which is becoming a security issue.

BurnGpuBurn··on FDA issues early alert for Baxter's Spectrum infusion pump
Well excuse me for being extremely disingenuous then. But the no harm argument is arguable incorrect, I myself might get a heart attack some day because of a dark pattern given how infuriating those things can be.
BurnGpuBurn··on FDA issues early alert for Baxter's Spectrum infusion pump
They might be too common to be interesting, but if we can't call them out they will never stop. And the fact that people still do this ridicilous stuff is newsworthy of it's own don't you think?
BurnGpuBurn··on Estimates of plant CO2 uptake rise by nearly one third
Yes, although you will not find a climate scientist that will admit to having used a model that was clearly wrong. They just silently update the model and hope you don't ask. And if you ask, nope, they will not hand over their model. But trust me bro, the models are correct.
BurnGpuBurn··on Making an Intersection Unsafe for Pedestrians to Save Seconds for Drivers
The placement of the traffic lights behind the intersection, and not in front of it, is just hilariously incompetent.
BurnGpuBurn··on Meta scrapped factcheckers because systems were 'too complex'
Marc Zuckerberg: "I notice Elon has become much more popular than I am. Elon also owns an internet social platform. Elon has removed most of the censorship from his platform. Maybe if I do the same I will be popular again too?"

From the article: "To date, ESET has found no evidence of actual infections in the wild." It was uploaded to some service though.
BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
Thank you for your explanation of what else could've been found with the LHC and that a lot of work was actually done to disprove the existence of a lot of stuff.

Kinda kills my thought experiment though, but I guess that's the point. Thanks.

BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
You're quite wrong in your guess but that's ok. I work in a research lab actually, and there's lots of experimental physics going on here.

I never claimed people are choosing a career in physics research for the money, I just used the argument of having to choose to lose ones income. Also, I can't help but notice though that, when ascended high enough on the academic ladder, the income isn't a joke either.

BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
Oh I like this argument a lot, thanks.
BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
Yes? Wouldn't that mean that "the party" is over, just write a single paper and you can shut down and dismantle the machine you've just finished building?
BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
I just said I loved the thought experiment. There's multiple ways to see the flaws in it. Like: how would that large group of scientists (be it at NASA or CERN) keep such a fraud a secret for such a long time? In NASA's case there'd be a lot of people coming clean on their death beds, which hasn't happened of course.
BurnGpuBurn··on Yes, we did discover the Higgs
I always loved the following thought experiment:

Lets' assume the Higgs boson doesn't exist. A large group of scientists has spent 10 billion dollars of public tax payer money to create an experiment that will prove it's existence. It cost them many years to do, decades, and most scientists have staked their entire career on the outcome of the experiment. Turns out, they were wrong, and the particle doesn't exist.

Those scientists now have two options: 1) Being thruthful about the non-discovery, thereby suiciding their own careers (and income!), evoking the wrath of the taxpayer, and basically becoming the laughing stock of the scientific community. 2) Just make some shit up for a while and go on and enjoy your pension which is only a couple of years away.

What would you do?

BurnGpuBurn··on Glass Antenna Turns windows into 5G Base Stations
The photo caption reads: "An interior photo of a rectangular glass device attached to a building's window, with cables going between it and the ceiling."

But it is clearly an AI-generated image. Look at the reflection of the lamp in the window, it overlaps the window frame.

Is this now the norm, AI-generated images pawned off as begin real? Good lord...

Correction, LinkedIn SAYS the're not using the data of European users to train their AI.

Who will ever know if they do or not...
