Autocorrect hates me, I am sorry.

    Step one to doing better is trying to do better.

    Is it perfect, no. But now that we have this system we can fix this loophole.

  • What projection is this? Is it like a modified Mercator or am I just so not used to both Mercator and upside down this looks insane?

    I mean, Alaska is bigger than 50% of the contiguous US.

  • They should really describe this as you’re on the same plan, but your plan gives you 80-88% less use.

  • Valve Steam Controller Review | Latency Benchmarks, Battery Life, Repairability - Gamers Nexus

    Jump

  • I do have to complain about the price: Not that it’s $99 USD, but that it’s $149 CAD and not $136 CAD. That’s an extra $14 over FX for what exactly? I still have to pay the shipping… kinda shitty of Valve there.

    I don’t mind this for $136 CAD because I have a pile of 2 broken PS5 controllers ($120 wasted — though now the price is $104 each so I guess it’s a $210 comparable) and a pile of dead Joy Cons, and frankly, controllers from the big companies are steaming piles of e-waste.

    With the fancy quantum magnet sticks and having fancy magnet triggers, and having a bluetooth pairing/switching process that isn’t archaic, this feels like it’s worth buying. If only you could buy more pucks, because I would want one for my gaming computer and one for my partner’s computer given how easy pairing is (right now my partner uses a Nintendo Pro controller with cable, because bluetooth on that thing is weird — even some linux distros don’t pair with it still).

  • Steam Controller review leaks, but price of Steam Machine accessory may disappoint

    Jump

  • I thought a lot of the customizations are actually just steam configurations, you can’t remap the buttons on device as you can a PS5 pro controller.

    I will say I’ll pay for joy sticks that don’t die — if you amortize the cost of the Steam controller against my 3 dead Joy cons and 2 dead PS5 controllers it probably works out better. Sony’s offering of “buy a controller that costs 5x the base controller then we will sell you a supply of joysticks that will inevitably die for $20 each” is insulting at best. But I do like the PS5 Pro controller’s joystick customizations, customizable back buttons, and remapping the physical controller (though I hate that you can only manage the remapping on your playstation).

  • Anyone else got that feeling?

  • I’m using vim with minuet-ai, and it plugs the AI suggestion into my completion module. I found the Copilot style virtual text interfaces all janky.

  • Sure, but hopefully small code completion (2-4b range) models can run locally on a lot of things. They’re just less good.

  • Inline completions are genuinely useful, I’m mostly replacing them with local models though. They are slower but free as in beer (once you pay the hardware cost).

  • This seems so fucking short sighted and stupid.

    You’ve got an ecosystem that has evolved/developed for large infrequent burns, and you kill 90% of it.

    Here in Ontario we get fires, then you see blueberry bushes pop up and take advantage of all that sunlight. They grow quick, with some grasses. The soil clears up and animals come in and then years later the trees return and grow strong.

    It’s how it’s been since time immemorial. If we killed the blueberries the soil would dry and harden in the sun, the soot wouldn’t get turned, and the ecosystem wouldn’t recover.

  • Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue

    Jump

  • This happens because you let it happen.

    At some point someone either clicked allow or disabled permissions.

    The prod system should also be isolated from a single dev in some way as well, and the backups too.

    Edit:

    the cloud provider's API allows for destructive action without confirmation, it stores backups on the same volume as the source data, and “wiping a volume deletes all backups.” Crane also points out that CLI tokens have blanket permissions across environments.

    Yeah, that’s stupid.

  • Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

    Jump

  • All I really want related to AI in my OS is:

    • The ability to systematically create file embeddings and use them for semantic search. This tech is now 9 years old, it’s not wildly energy inefficient, it only sucks that when you change the model you need to recreate the entire index.
    • A good accessibility interface that AI tools incidentally benefit from
    • Accessibility features for humans, like how Apple lets you select text on any image. Or I can send an image to Gemma 4 and the transcriptions are actually quite good running locally (though the model is large)
