They'll be slow to respond to a single house.
xboxnolifes··on What's Earth's dominant species by mass?
I'm not sure what cubic volume vs 2D surfaces means to you, but these comparisons are by mass, not volume. Plus, anaerobic bacteria would only come up on top if you counted all of them as one species, which they are not.
xboxnolifes··on JetBrains reported a net financial loss first time in its tracked history
For the same reason employee salary is considered a cost instead of profit. Anything that isn't going into the pockets of the business owners is loss.
xboxnolifes··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
Its nothing like posting it on Facebook. Google doesn't have a recommendation engine that tries to share the image with random people, or a search that image will appear in, or a set of subscribed people who will be notified.

Its a random link someone would have to guess.

xboxnolifes··on We are going to kill "unalive"
Can't use kms/kys anymore. Thats on many of the profanity filters too.
xboxnolifes··on We are going to kill "unalive"
We also say about 50 other variations of the word cool depending on the vibes. Cool is basically the low vibe cool.
xboxnolifes··on RuneScape's Position on Gen AI
You're out of touch from the gaming space if you don't understand why game companies make strong claims about not using GenAI for art.
xboxnolifes··on Car is a smartphone on wheels. Here's who's listening
I've met at least 1 pro flock camera person. On the grounds that they helps police fight crime.
xboxnolifes··on Pi 1.0
Pi with extensions included is always going to burn more tokens than pi without extensions, no?
xboxnolifes··on Burning Man death rates – A short lesson in statistics
Do you need a road if you went out with 10 friends off-roading together and camped out over night? What about if you went with 3 other groups?
xboxnolifes··on Burning Man death rates – A short lesson in statistics
It's not insane, and it was just explained how it happens. You don't need streets when you have 10 people. Or 100 people. But there comes a threshold where you do need them. The question remains, how do you recognize or determine this threshold? A lot of the times, a death is the wake up call.
xboxnolifes··on AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom
#1 is still mostly just moving money from the poor to the rich. Most people working for a wage are going to be in the bottom 80%, yet the top 20% own over 80% of the stocks.
xboxnolifes··on Who should be held accountable when an AI Agent (accidentally) acts maliciously?
I don't think you can constantly shout that AI is super-intelligent and a huge risk to human life as we know it so it must be strictly regulated and claim you had no reasonable way of knowing the agent was going to hack a database.
xboxnolifes··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
That happened so long ago that an entire new wave of used cars exist by now.
xboxnolifes··on Every Household in This Rural Town Receives $10k If a Data Center Gets Built
I think you're downplaying how much money $29k is to most people. That's 5-10x the total covid stimulus, and it's not as inflationary because it's redistributing wealth, not printing money.
xboxnolifes··on The state of SIMD in Rust in 2026
Sure, in the same way that there is no such thing as portable code at all. The result will be suboptimal, but it will still be better than not having it.
xboxnolifes··on "They had no concept of a duty of care to their users."
Ill remember this when I distribute malware.
xboxnolifes··on Does Georgism work? Five years later
The alternative is unbounded compounding of wealth until all land is held by very few hands.
xboxnolifes··on Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
I agree, we need better rules to keep it fair and sustainable.
xboxnolifes··on Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
I know it's probably more tongue-in-cheek/choice-words, but I don't think you need communism to prevent massive wealth inequality. We have taxes in capitalist society. We were still capitalist when wealth inequality was less pronounced. We don't suddenly stop being capitalist by adding additional taxes and incentives to reduce wealth inequality.
xboxnolifes··on Factorio that you can touch
Your wording can easily be read as them shipping 3d models and rendering them as 2d at runtime. It's a weird way to say the game is made up of 2d assets.
xboxnolifes··on I'm Tired of Being on the Network
If addiction could be solved as simply as "just don't let yourself be addicted", it wouldn't even be a defined term.

Come on now.

xboxnolifes··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
> Most of the body doesn't regenerate because there was not enough evolutionary pressure.

Maybe, but isnt this basically tautological? "You didnt evolve this way because of how evolution works". The more interesting question is why did certain parts evolve the way they did, and can we harness the knowledge?

xboxnolifes··on Disney+ and Hulu raise prices by up to 13 percent after doubling profits
Define safely. A VPN and a browser gets you streams and a VPN and a torrent client gets you downloads.
xboxnolifes··on DoorDash Spent $1.4M Trying to Stop Mamdani from Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why
How did you come to that conclusion? The very first sentence explicitly explains that to be false.
xboxnolifes··on 28% of job postings on company career sites have been open over 90 days
The article is talking about "The Economy" (read: stocks and bonds), not employment numbers. The market can both be awful for job seekers and great for capital owners.
xboxnolifes··on Woman Arrested, Dragged Away After Speaking About Flock at City Council Meeting
It was unrelated because the entire session about flock was skipped.
xboxnolifes··on An update on how we confirm your age group on Discord
Discord does gradual rollouts for all of their updates. It's always the case that I will have a feature before my friends, or they will have it first, or it's only on mobile first, etc.
xboxnolifes··on I said no and Apple said yes
I think there's a fundamental difference between having things you need to ignore (windows bloat) and having problems that prop up when you try to do things (linux stuff).

I think people are generally more willing to put up with the former.

xboxnolifes··on Uber arbitration award over Emily Normandin-Parker’s death
Trains hit hundreds of people and thousands of vehicles every year, but we made it not their responsibility because you can't stop the train in time. You cannot accurately measure the comparison, since whether or not they were paying attention when they hit someone is both unknown and irrelevant.
