Oh fuck off my dude.

If there is meat to be eaten, we may as well put the whole animal to use. I'm sure you're vegan too but that's far from the majority.

And besides, leather alternatives kinda really suck in terms of longevity.

Based on recent Ornith and deepseek results, this research was outdated before publication.

This space moves too fast for any more traditional scientific research to actually keep up with anymore imo.

The goal post for that "trillion dollar question" keeps moving. At what point do people realize that even current models are capable of self improvement in the right test setup (Ornith, Qwen), or that fitting the right info into the context window (skills files in general, Hermes Agent's own context-only self improvement loop, etc), or that creating multiple specialized models followed by distillation (deepseek v4's teacher models) all, in fact, work quite well?

I tried arch as a daily driver many many years ago, it was a great learning experience, but maintaining that system wasn't worth it.

I use it in distrobox daily though. Rolling distros work really nicely for doing dev work through distrobox on an otherwise immutable system

I will say that using a super efficient cloud model (deepseek for me, v4 flash is very cheap) is probably more efficient than using a local model in most cases, especially if you need strong capabilities. The question is whether your own grid or the provider's grid is more environmentally friendly (hint: china's energy mix is about 50% fossil fuels while the US's mix is around 75% fossil fuels overall)

Training is of course expensive still, but Chinese labs have all but caught up to US labs despite much lower compute resources being available to them.

I don't know if it's still active, but Kaillera was dope. I remember 1v1ing people in Mario Kart 64 like a decade ago.

Oh it's just brainfuck

Yep, ai stock image. This is linked directly below the image in the article. https://www.magnific.com/free-ai-image/spinning-propeller-heats-steel-modern-oven-manufacturing-generated-by-ai_41367573.htm

The default mouse+keyboard layout the controller starts in before Steam takes over. I think they call it that as a play on the phrase "lizard brain"

The controller requires some sort of drivers to get out of lizard mode and work as a general controller (with remapping and everything). This has been known as it acts identically to Steam Deck and the OG Steam Controller.

If you want to use the controller without Steam being used (which, it's worth noting, you can add non-steam games to Steam to use the controller, or adjust the default desktop profile to be a normal controller), then you should be able to use SISR (formerly GloSC and GloSI): https://github.com/Alia5/SISR

Or, on Linux, use sc-controller: https://github.com/C0rn3j/sc-controller

Day one buy when it's available in my region. My original steam controller was amazing until the wireless adapter crapped out (plus its Bluetooth mode was not great, sadly) and the A button membrane broke. I even tuned that fucking thing to play 2d platformers competently, let alone shooters with gyro aim. I missed it.

My Steam Deck has been rock solid and I've wanted something with an identical layout for my PC and docked Deck since it released. I can't wait

Tbf they did address the pop os shenanigans on wan show, like, a week ago. I suspect the next video could be summarized as: "pop os should be considered beta, mint is your solid bet for something that just works, but cachy/Bazzite are neat and worth a look. Kernel anti-cheat and professional software are still show-stoppers for some people"
