jeffhuys··on Valve releases Team Fortress 2 code
They don't have a disdain for games... At least not anymore. They're actively pushing it on both mobile and mac, even introducing "Game Mode" and the like. You wouldn't do that if you have a disdain for games.
jeffhuys··on El Salvador abandons Bitcoin as legal tender
More like Solana… Eth fees are also way too high.
jeffhuys··on El Salvador abandons Bitcoin as legal tender
Just… really suggest you take a deep dive into blockchain technologies. You’re confusing a few things.
jeffhuys··on Large language models think too fast to explore effectively
What makes you dislike them so much?
jeffhuys··on Large language models think too fast to explore effectively
Depends on how “trained” in being stoned they are - after 10 years, I could eloquently talk to you, provided I feel comfortable with you knowing I’m stoned.

The brain can adapt and use the thc to its advantage!

jeffhuys··on Large language models think too fast to explore effectively
Telling people I still easily (and sometimes more easily) “produce value” while being extremely stoned, most of the time makes them very angry, or at least visibly annoyed. I’m still unsure why.
jeffhuys··on Commercial jet collides with Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan airport
I feel like Q is much more prevalent in discussions here and on reddit than between actual conspiracy theorists... Q didn't start that, it's just part of it. But I do think it shows that we should help people understand more. A lot of secrecy nowadays.

> everyone is accounted for

Happy to hear that.

jeffhuys··on My failed attempt to shrink all NPM packages by 5%
pnpm stores them in a central place and symlinks them. You’ll see the benefits when you have multiple projects with a lot of the same packages.
jeffhuys··on Show HN: Bagels – TUI expense tracker
iOS has terminals too now, but of course sandboxed. You could install this in there, though, and no linux needed.
jeffhuys··on Apache Iceberg
Looks good, but come on… at least try to open your website on a mobile device.
jeffhuys··on It's not a crime if we do it with an app
This also happens in the EU, tho.
jeffhuys··on Paxo: A DIY Phone
Doesn’t really help that all issues and docs seem to be in French. Typical tho haha
jeffhuys··on Bluesky's science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform
X doesn't do that for me either... If you see posts you don't like, block/hide them. X learns.

That's the cost of a free platform though. Rather have that than being banned for thinking wrong.

jeffhuys··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
It's an interesting thing to see happen. In seconds, people snapped it and flooded the internet with it. But nothing will happen, because doing a "nazi salute" on accident means nothing.

> rarely do the people involved with supplying drugs stay that way

I'm really intrigued how people can say these things like they're facts. That's really happening a lot more nowadays. It's an opinion you have.

Or am I wrong, and do you have a source or personal account of some kid in a sleepy village in the south of france? Or could it be that the people who DO stay that way don't reach the media, because they DO stay that way?

jeffhuys··on Infinigen
Well, we've come a long way. Look at nanite - it might actually be compatible...
jeffhuys··on Ross Ulbricht granted a full pardon
Then why the distinction with alcohol though?
jeffhuys··on 0-click deanonymization attack targeting Signal, Discord, other platforms
Did you see the GIF? It's able to triangulate.
jeffhuys··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Sigh…
jeffhuys··on You can't use your $6,299.00 Camera as a Webcam. That will be $5
You can’t win arguments on the internet. Best case: they ghost you. Cowards, I say!
jeffhuys··on Canon wants us to pay for using our own camera as a webcam
But the EU doesn’t do tariffs? I thought that was exclusive to the incoming US administration, because it’s stupid.
jeffhuys··on Is the world becoming uninsurable?
Pole drift.
jeffhuys··on Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
Do you expect less than 7ms? Because that's my latency with Geforce Now. Almost unnoticable.
jeffhuys··on Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
7ms latency, 4k120fps with geforce now. 10ms on wifi. I'm not kidding.

It's ALMOST perfect. I play BF1 through it. Try it once (I believe they still have the "free for 1hr per session, infinite sessions"? That's what sold it to me).

I can play very intensive games (graphically) on my macbook on the couch. It's amazing, and I couldn't believe the 10ms on wifi. It's mind-blowing.

BUT I live near Amsterdam, where a server cluster is.

Also, about the graphics: I'm borrowing a 4080 every time. Everything is on max. If you're in a very (very) hard scene for compression, then yeah, you'll see (very little) artifacts. But I run it on 75mbit, and that's a LOT.

jeffhuys··on Nobody cares
Good rebuttal, very nice debate.
jeffhuys··on Nobody cares
I think he mostly cares about getting humanity off this planet, he's been saying that for a long, long time.

Starting a space company to enrich yourself sounds like a very weird thing to do if you only care about money.

jeffhuys··on I've Acquired a New Superpower
I can do both pretty comfortably, but there’s a definite bias to parallel, way easier for me.
jeffhuys··on I've acquired a new superpower
To reduce eye strain, don’t cross your eyes, but relax them (so, the other way). Instantly clear and snaps together as if magnetic.
jeffhuys··on I've acquired a new superpower
When they snap together it feels soo good…
