PhoenixFlame101··on GitHub CLI now collects pseudoanonymous telemetry
But collecting data and looking for insights doesn't mean you mechanically optimize features, especially user-hostile ones? This is just as, if not more, likely to happen when basing your decisions on what people say they want over what they actually do.
PhoenixFlame101··on Scientists discover why bread can cause weight gain without extra calories
The "all calories are the same" statement doesn't mean that all foods with the same caloric values satiate you the same, and no one has ever claimed that. In fact it's very common knowledge; the entire basis of diets like keto that remove carbs, the least satiating of the marcos per calorie.

The only thing hormones can affect is your maintenance requirement, meaning you can gain weight if your body chooses to store the calories instead of burning them for whatever reason, even while eating the same as always.

To play devil's advocate a bit, Ferrari won both championships in 2007 and the constructors in 2008, so it's hard to say they were robbed when they actually won. Massa though, is another story.

PhoenixFlame101··on Open-Sora does pretty good video generation on consumer GPUs
It's very likely the comment you replied to said it in a joking sense
PhoenixFlame101··on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore
While I agree with you, the registry is the windows way of hiding away config files. It's either the GUI, or it's the registry.

Linux alternatively uses config files directly meant to be altered by the end user. It's less user-friendly, but better than the registry.

The real crime is having a registry in the first place instead of a .config directory.

PhoenixFlame101··on Fixing the iterative damping interpolation in video games
While this is true for simpler games, the author mentions the possibility where we aren't able to hit the target of 60 FPS or whatever, and we get physics spikes on slower computers.
