ClassyJacketon Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with Switch

"Every console since the wii" and "except the switch" is two consoles. The other 4/6 were not backwards compatible.

ClassyJacketon Netflix Europe offices raided in tax fraud probe

I guess it's just a crazy coincidence that most huge multinational corporations base their European operations in Ireland then? They just like drinking Guinness I suppose?

ClassyJacketon An embarrassingly simple approach to recover unlearned knowledge for LLMs

Were you using models that had been unlearned using gradient ascent specifically?

ClassyJacketon An embarrassingly simple approach to recover unlearned knowledge for LLMs

So... repressed memories are real, if you're an LLM?

ClassyJacketon Missing open-source contributor presents a dilemma when accepting their PR

Yeah. In most countries copyright is automatic as soon as you create the work. Surely they mean they want confirmation they have a licence to use the copyrighted work?

ClassyJacketon Security flaws found in all Nvidia GeForce GPUs. Update drivers ASAP

Other than the 2000$ graphics cards?

ClassyJacketon Apple's M4 Max chip is the fastest single-core performer in consumer computing

Max implies it's the top. There shouldn't be anything above max

ClassyJacketon Ask HN: Is there a good hackable smart watch?

Hackable and cellular rarely go together, unfortunately. Especially on watches. I don't believe any such thing exists.

I'm no expert but I do like hackable smart watches, I own the Pine Time and the Watchy - and I've never heard of an open source cellular watch. Even without that requirement the options are basic.

ClassyJacketon Mistakes from building a model to scalp concert tickets

The more scalpers suffer, the better. May they suffer infinite pain.

ClassyJacketon Reddit is profitable ever, with nearly 100M daily users

And all they had to do was completely destroy the site and make every community on it unusable

ClassyJacketon Elon Musk is doubling the largest AI GPU cluster

Why is it always "Elon Musk" does [blank] instead of [company name] does [blank]?

If Microsoft makes an announcement we don't see "Satya Nadella's new Xbox".

When Google does something you don't see "Sundar Pichai's new AI".

Why do talented and hardworking engineers get ignored just specifically if this one person happens to be their boss?

Is it nothing other than they think it'll get more clicks worded that way? Or do people really think Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI all have exactly one employee sitting by himself in a big, vast, empty office?

ClassyJacketon We're forking Flutter

It's such a shame mobile development with C# isn't more viable. I want to make some apps, and I hate JavaScript, but from everything I've read Maui just isn't practical.

ClassyJacketon We're forking Flutter

And a fantastic way to get sued out of existence by a rich corporation.

ClassyJacketon We're forking Flutter

But they're using the Flutter trademark. It's a fair question. They appear to be using a trademark owned by someone else without permission.

How do you know this isn't the toupee fallacy?

You spotted a few correctly so you assume you always spot correctly - but there might be more you miss.

ClassyJacketon How not to sort by average rating (2009)

Same. I have dozens of Play Store reviews that just say "Kept pestering me to rate, so here's your rating. One star."

I've tried to do this on Amazon for companies that attempted to bribe me for a positive review, but sadly Amazon doesn't allow you to mention review bribes in reviews, and they don't get posted.

ClassyJacketon Character amnesia in China

Well done. I spotted weird on its own but I had to go looking for the others.

ClassyJacketon How 'Factorio' seduced Silicon Valley and me

I can certainly say I'm an example of someone who hasn't bought it because it hasn't been on sale, but 50 dollars for a good game is entirely reasonable anyway and I admit I will probably still buy it one day.

ClassyJacketon How 'Factorio' seduced Silicon Valley and me

It's funny I came across this thread. Just yesterday I was looking at buying it, but it's 50 AUD. I went to add it to my wishlist to wait for a sale, but it was already there. I realised it must have been on there for a long time.

I was wondering if I somehow missed it going on sale, or it never had.

Glad I know it isn't likely to any time soon.

ClassyJacketon How 'Factorio' seduced Silicon Valley and me

I was looking at this game this morning, it sounds fantastic fun podcasts I've listened to, but at 50 Australian dollars it'd be the most I've ever paid for a game on Steam. Someone convince me it's worth it?

At this rate they'll sunset google search and their advertising business just because.

They use the same design of part in multiple different models of vehicle instead of designing a new one with small differences

ClassyJacketon Quit Social Media (2016)

I don't know how you can possibly say TikTok isn't social media. That seems like a rather absurd claim. What's your justification?
