Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

on [US] House passes bill requiring AM radio in all new cars sold nationwide in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
This is the correct reply. AM is trash, but we even have highway signs that mention AM stations for certain road condition alerts and stuff. Most places don’t rely on it, but when you’re in the mountains it’s useful.
Hell, even here in CA we only barely started getting cell signals in places like Malibu pass and the like. I can usually get cell service and FM on the 5 or PCH but the moment you leave those, all bets are off.

He’s a talking Great Dane. His talents are wasted on this, he belongs in a lab. We need to study how a dog can learn human language and think like us!
Also there will be Scooby Snacks… and I promise not to dissect his brain until he’s dead.

Good point. Iirc, it’s about 10% after a good reduction. My cooking mirin is 8% by volume, and you wouldn’t want to use much or risk overpowering the sauce, so it’s a pretty miniscule amount.
None the less, people who avoid it for religious reasons or medical reasons should keep it in mind.

I think it’s the oil! I did learn that babies benefit from a higher percentage of fats, especially healthier oils like olive oil. It’s just funny you wouldn’t think of it as a kid food, haha

Pesto pasta with “bowties” is my 4yos favorite food. Fresh is great if I can, but jarred is fine-- just it keeps selling out.
Wanna know my secret ingredient? I add Japanese mirin, boiled down, which adds a unique sweetness. It was a happy accident, as I like to add an alcohol or acid when cooking meat (in this case, Italian sausage), and used it to deglaze the pan and use said pan to mix pasta and sauce together. No idea why it works well with basil and pine nuts, though.
(Also always remember to use pasta water on the sauce too, just a bit to add the starch.)

You know, you’re not supposed to cut over the center dividing line when you turn but plenty of people do if you’re not making a perfect arc with your turn (and I mean, just a little bit). A friend got pulled over for it. We both agreed it was probably racial.

It certainly sounds “more legitimate” than pulling them over for a failure to use a blinker or doing too sharp of a left turn, as friends and victims of DWB can attest to having happened to them.
Although given the paper trail here, it is probably easier to fight in court.

on Why the Flock Backlash Has Gotten So Intense. The sudden anger about these cameras seems to reflect more than just wariness about the surveillance system. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Sep 2026
I thought it was interesting that even in the most rural parts of Cali, I saw anti-flock billboards up along the 99 this weekend. It’s quite a unifying factor here.

on "AI" Giants Work Hand-in-Hand With the Pentagon, Contracts Reveal in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
There are many applications of machine learning models for military purposes, some of which you can see with Ukraine drone warfare for instance. Tech like visual recognition predates much of what people call AI now.
However, this is likely referring to LLM usage to predict stuff, which is utterly stupid because it’s a language model. It’s like those people who think it’s sentient because it recites science fiction from its training to pretend to be sentient.
Part of me hopes this is just a grift, since the reality of ChatGPT helping the military pick targets and make strategic decisions is terrifying. Either way we’re just so utterly fucked.

on About half of Americans say they spend too much time on their smartphone in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
I’m not sure how I’d rate me. I spend plenty of time on my smartphone but I’m playing SNES/GBA/DS with it hooked up to a controller clip so… not the usual use case of social bullshit ruining my mood. I enjoy the fuck out of a good emulation-in-bed night.
But hey, a few minutes on Lemmy too, of course, as I go through the entire All feed on a few minutes lol

In 2022 that’s not at all surprising. Not even that surprising in 2026 but we were all glued to the news when he requested ammo, not a ride.
That said, I’d rather my wife not request ammo over a ride.

Haha, it’s even worse in academics because anything from students is protected. Unless they host on campus, it’s a violation even if MS super duper promises not to leak information. It’s also why we can’t use ChatGPT, though fools still do.
Edit: I mean for grading, asking a clanker is still fine but a terrible idea.

I prefer restoration points, stored locally, since most of my work is less than an hour and doesn’t need checkpoints. Sometimes something goes terribly wrong and I want to start over. But if it crashes? Yeah, restore me!

And half the time it’s in a fucking browser.
Hey quick rant, I’m a professor and due to budget cuts they cut our MS Office so it’s online only. I was already getting into non-slop software but now I need to check for compatibility using the browser version, since podiums only have Office and we’re supposed to use that.
So what I’m trying to say is, I’m feeling this right now. Shit doesn’t even have master slides or mathematical formula editing, ffs.

on Following accusations, James Pond Legacy devs say no generative AI was used in creating artwork in c/games@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026
I’ll play devil’s advocate and say there are non-AI render processes that can miss a horn (e.g. working from a clay model and scanned, for instance). Hell, even a lazy wand picker in Photoshop can lose a horn! I’ll even say that the very-AI looking 2D illustration can simply be a byproduct of a lack of creativity and the fact this is clearly shovelware. I lived through the Wii era, I can attest that shovelware can look this bad without AI, lol.
HOWEVER, it sure as hell looks like AI generated artwork and they could do a lot better defending their process. The irony is … I don’t really think the trailer is AI? It’s… honestly too unpolished and weird to be? Every effect used is something I’m certain I could do myself, lol.

on Terraria's biggest mod, Calamity, is shutting down after 10 years over what the makers call a "troubled past" and "irrecoverably tainted reputation" in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
:(
Terraria is one of my favorites and I haven’t had a chance to play Calamity. RetroAchevements had, remarkably, added support for the base game and I think there were hopes for set support of this and any other big mods (tracking completion, doing additional challenges, etc). I’m sure this puts some damper on those efforts.
I’ll have up make do with just trying to finish the Completionist set if the craving hits again (it’s insane, every item in the game must be collected!)

on didn't think so in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 7 Aug 2026
I admit, I’m tempted to read the AI answer when I search something; but holy crap is it a patronizing waste of time. Just now I was searching about a game and the long page of AI answer essentially boiled down to “kill stuff to get stronger,” like brah, I know, I’m trying to look up exact formulas here, you piece of shit.
My questions are never answered by it, and when it tries, it’s wrong even with follow up info. Man I really could live without it, lol.
Edit: oh, and this is a relatively new game but on both Google and Bing indexes, the first page and a half are clearly AI generated. Same boilerplate nothingburger answers. No surprise the search AI isn’t good, it’s regurgitating other AI answers. MAN I could live without it.
Yes, this tracks. My wife’s at a company that has both JP and US branches and the JP side seems a lot more chill with generative AI (although they learned already not to use it in production, only internal visuals and planning). It’s rather unfortunate, although hard to say if they would have hired an illustrator or just gone without visuals.
