Second AntennaPod. Best podcast app I’ve found so far

Thanks for the rec!

Tbf, Smeagol was one of the River Folk, who were related to but not quite Hobbits. I think you’d have to answer whether River Folk counted for the guy before deciding whether Smeagol still counted as one of the River Folk

Chuunibiyou?

And none of that has to do with pointlessly high fidelity models that take too much time and people to produce

I’m sick of people insisting on X new combat feature being added to every. single. game.

No, we don’t need every game to play like modern Ubislop. Nor should they.

Goddamn I hate the internet sometimes. Why have I only heard of the Moddo Mouse now despite several searches the past 2 years!?!? AND IT’S WIRELESS!?!?

(Edit: Ah, missed the part where you said this just released)

Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing that. Definitely going to be eyeing this for a new mouse.

Also, do you know if the PCB supports more than 2 side buttons? I’ve been deperately looking for an option with 4+ side buttons

Fair, but those bits on the sides of the main mouse buttons are also buttons

These differences matter a lot especially because LLMs behave so human-like

To be pedantic, LLM’s don’t behave like us, they pretend to behave like us. They’re really just complicated auto-correct.

Neural networks have more promise to eventually behave like us, but that’s not what the AI craze is trying to propogate.

Clover is more drought-resistant than standard lawn grass. I wouldn’t be surprised if it could get a foothold during drier summer months, but I’m no expert so I could easily be wrong

I think you mean wild bees, since honeybees are fairly rare apart from beekeepers.

But otherwise I agree. We’re so much more obsessed with lawns of monoculture grass nowadays it’s ridiculous. Fuck Monsanto.

Tbh, I think the first one is way better than the second. The second had some cool puzzle ideas, but it lost a lot of it’s charm and individuality when it tried to be more like Hollow Knight

The newer Call of Duty games are >256gb

I’m going to go in a different, but important direction than everyone else: don’t.

SSD’s are constantly moving bits of data around to balance the amount of read/write each sector deals with, since that is what degrades the components.

The downside is that the swapping also counts as read/write cycles. Most of the time this is fine, because the SSD is doing relatively little data swapping compared to what it’s optimizing.

This goes away when your drive is more than 90% full. Then your drive become one of those missing tile puzzles, and it starts shuffling lots of data around constantly to get things in their optimal place. This leads to the swaps drastically increasing the read/write cycles and killing the drive early.

If you really need to have a bunch of games saved on your Steam Deck, you’re better off getting an SD card and using that for additional storage. While it’s slower to load, it’s not that much slower, and it’s not noticable for smaller games

Instead of that, you could just search online and go through examples on how to use the API’s in question. Then you actually learn and gain experience in that task, which you wouldn’t get if you have AI get you 95% of the answer from the start.

While having an AI code something you’re unfamiliar with is more efficient for that specific task, over time it’s less effecient and detrimental to you as a programmer. Think of it like getting a teacher’s edition of a textbook for a class. You can answer questions more quickly by looking up the answer in the back of the book and copying it down. Sure, you absorb the answer a bit, but not nearly as much as if you worked through it yourself.

Now think about the differences between junior and senior dev jobs. What’s the primary difference? It’s experience. If you’re a junior dev that has AI do all the hard parts for you, then you’ll gain experience slower than another junior dev that does everything on their own. In the future, that other junior dev is more likely to get the lucrative senior dev promotion than you because they’ve built up more experience.

It can help fill in with weaknesses that slow developers down.

No no no no…

You don’t want AI replacing devs where they’re “weak”. That is literally the worst thing you can do with AI. All that does is mean the devs aren’t qualified to assess and debug those portions of code. The solution to devs being “weak” in an area is for them to gain experience doing that task.

Some programmers use AI to make boilerplate code they can easily check to save time without much issue. That’s about the only thing you can use AI for in software development with little risk without taking up excessive time checking/fixing what it shits out.

“Painful” could easily (and mostly likely) refer to extremely low profit margins that would take several years to pay off the development costs. And that quote specifically refers to the base 64GB version. The price difference between that and the 256GB version was way more than the increase in storage costs, despite that being the only difference.

Also, I absolutely knew you were going to reply with this quote despite it not being evidence. Congrats on being extremely predictable.

Calm down, Pol Pot

I though that was Shia Lebouf

They were definitely selling at a huge loss with the original prices

No they weren’t. There is literally 0 proof of that. Quit spreading misinformation
