Would probably need to be open source to be trustworthy. Running a random executable from the Internet seems dicey.
Needs more screenshots. The two that are on the site don’t render great on mobile. Can only see a small portion.
I’m unclear how you find another user and verify who they are.
Website should have a clearer feature list. The user manual wants to download a text file instead of showing it in the browser.
People’s inability to grapple with cognitive dissonance, and how people often go with “I’m a good person making good choices” instead of the more difficult path of changing, is part of why everything is so horrible.
But of course, she shrugged it off and said she did not care.
Getting people to care is strangely hard. I think it’s because accepting some of the things we want people to care about means grappling with how the world is unfair and fucked up, and people are emotionally just not ready for that. People are stupid cowards.
I feel like there should be circumstances where if you’re accused of something and found innocent, you need to be made whole. Maybe that’s a huge payout. Maybe you get all your stuff back.
If the police bring you in for questioning because you were riding your bike, and you’re shown innocent, they should pay out like $500/hour to you.
The advantage of Mac is it’s more widely used and thus more widely supported (for things that are supported at all). You can just buy an apple computer from a trusted source and it’ll work. Linux doesn’t quite have that yet. If more people move to Linux , you’ll find better drivers and stuff.
Hacker should make the phones explode or something. Trash startup funded by trash.
Yes! I usually take any opportunity to gush about Fate but I restrained myself here
The main weakness of Fate is you need more engaged players. Stuff like DND can mostly hum along with passive players, but Fate falls really flat if people aren’t engaging with it.
What an incredibly stupid thing to do. LLMs are not the correct tool for this problem. Especially not like this.
People don’t have a lot of money to spend. All the money being sucked up by rich assholes.
On player training, I like systems where you can bribe players to let bad things happen.
Like in vampire: the requiem, a player can always turn a regular failure into a Dramatic Failure, and get a little XP. This meant the players went from “oh no the cave is probably full of monsters let’s take forever stressing” to “I ROLLED GARBAGE CAN I JUST BARGE IN LIKE A CONFIDENT IDIOT FOR MY DRAMATIC FAILURE?”
Tastes vary, but I found it made a more interesting and snappier game.
I learned today that the board of directors at this huge multinational non-tech company I’m at wants 80% of people using AI, and has a target for lines of code written by AI.
Both of those are insane.
The lines of code one is extra double insane. People knew lines of code was a shit metric in like the 90s.
Most of the code at my current job doesn’t even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What’s config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren’t interested in changing anything.
Get a code formatter. Ruff is popular. So is black. Never think about it again.
Sadly, no. I mostly use the controller wired, anyway.
I did find some instructions that alleges to allow you to update the firmware in a VM: https://www.thrasos.dev/blog/xbox-controller-linux-update/
Seems plausible.
But also my next controller won’t be Xbox, heh.
Unfortunately I don’t have a spare windows machine, and I don’t think my girlfriend’s work would be happy with me installing the Xbox app on her laptop.
Oh well. Maybe someone will find a way to update it on Linux
I wonder if you can do it in a VM, actually…
To fix these issues you must connect the controller to a Windows PC and update the firmware via the Xbox Accessories App.
Well shit. I don’t have a windows PC anymore.
Never should’ve gotten an Xbox controller. Always thought they were kind of shit, but my friends insisted they were the best and most standard.
Much of this slots into time outside work rather than the workday itself.
I’ve seen at a very large company a workflow that involved manually updating an excel workbook and (I think) saving it on confluence, so a python script could download it and parse it later. It wasn’t even doing formulas. It was just like less than a hundred lines of text in a half dozen sheets.
For the code, open source is probably the way to go. People should be able to build from source. Otherwise, how do they know you’re not doing something shady. Open source is generally a net improvement on security, assuming people actually look at it.
For screenshots, first fix it so the screenshots render nicely on narrow displays.
