TrinaryWorksToo··on uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook
Does Fluff Busting Purity still remove Facebook ads?
TrinaryWorksToo··on If you are good at code review, you will be good at using AI agents
Bayesian reasoning would lead me to think that a high rate of failures means even if QA is 99.9% amazing and dev is AI 80% slop, there still will be more poor features and bugs (99.9% * 80% = 79.92%) than if both are mediocore (%90 * %90 = 81%)

Depends on the person's budget!
TrinaryWorksToo··on We Found Zero Low-Severity Bugs in 165 AI Code Reports. Zero
How do we know this isn't Survivorship Bias? Perhaps there aren't any low-severity bugs because they're all high severity?
TrinaryWorksToo··on Apple executives have held internal talks about buying Perplexity
Apple took away DarkSky, no reason to think they wouldn't also do this to Perplexity.

How about I use a mirror and a lens and fancy fiber optics to do the same thing with no computer involved?

A live camera feed and IA's page turner exists. Would live streaming the feed work?
TrinaryWorksToo··on How Olympic Timing Works
> Boo-hoo Just because it didn't bother you doesn't mean it doesn't bother me.

> Talk with other people then...

So you have more options than I do it seems, doesn't justify being rude.

TrinaryWorksToo··on How Olympic Timing Works
I don't control other people's topics of conversation.

You're correct, they force me to notice over and over again.

TrinaryWorksToo··on How Olympic Timing Works
Ads. Ads are forcing me to care about the Olympics. Peer pressure forces me to watch the Olympics to know what people are talking about.
TrinaryWorksToo··on Reverse engineering Ticketmaster's rotating barcodes
Patents no longer go to individual people. They go to corporations. Perhaps we should ban corporations from getting patents on behalf of people.

TrinaryWorksToo··on Surgeons transplant pig kidney into a patient
It's easy to transplant a pigney into a human. The hard part is keeping them alive afterward, especially in the long term. It seems like the event is not far enough in the past to know.
TrinaryWorksToo··on Samsung and other manufacturers disable phones bought on gray markets
Would this be legal from under first-sale doctrine?
TrinaryWorksToo··on LinkedIn Issues Warning to Site Shaming Pro-Palestinian Sentiment
It's also not so great a leap to think that supporting a country means supporting its citizens. Your interpretation is valid, I don't understand why it would need heavy moderation. Perhaps hiding the post and asking it to reword it to be clearer?
TrinaryWorksToo··on Nonprofit hospitals skimp on charity while CEOs reap millions, report finds
Odd, when I complain that my salary should be higher because of the impact the work I do makes, they don't raise my salary.
TrinaryWorksToo··on YouTube TV, which costs $73 a month, agrees to end "$600 less than cable" ads
SponsorBlock helps with this also, even when it's incorporated into the video (via muting the audio).
TrinaryWorksToo··on YouTube TV, which costs $73 a month, agrees to end "$600 less than cable" ads
You can use SponsorBlock to skip those.

At least we have some control via elections and petitioning the government
TrinaryWorksToo··on The Scary Math Behind the World’s Safest Assets
Look, I don't have the capacity to precisely answer your question. But if it is rare that people are failing through the cracks after taking a risk that's all the more reason to do it. It should be cheap.
TrinaryWorksToo··on The Scary Math Behind the World’s Safest Assets
Depends on your situation. If you have family and friends maybe, but lots of people don't survive and you don't see them. Healthcare, housing, food, etc. is mostly tied to employment or lots of money. People don't have time or energy to figure out any alternatives if they exist, and face eviction and starvation if they don't, which is a whole new world of not being able to survive. We see lots of drug abuse, theft, suicide, and similar things precisely because there is no safety net.
TrinaryWorksToo··on The Scary Math Behind the World’s Safest Assets
Oh sure, like you can just do that if you're out of money. (/sarcasm) It costs money and time to get a passport, fly out, have a destination that will accept you, figure out security for yourself, etc. Plus, you're making it harder for the existing people there to keep prices low.
TrinaryWorksToo··on The Scary Math Behind the World’s Safest Assets
"Scared pussies" survive, but don't do anything. What we need is a good social safety net so people are confident that when they take a risk and fail, it doesn't mean their life ends.

TrinaryWorksToo··on Milgram experiment (1963) [video]
Derren has unfortunately been a big source of misinformation. I once saw a video of his at a neuroscience conference.
TrinaryWorksToo··on Milgram experiment (1963) [video]
Derren Brown did a reenactment, not a recreation, as he is a Magician not a scientist.
