Does the game support the controller? When you're running the game via Steam, it uses its controller service(?). When you are running the game somewhat directly this part will not be running. So if the game does not support your controller directly, you might need to find a way how to make it recognize it

Asking an LLM for raw R code that accomplishes some task and fixing the bugs it hallucinates can be a time booster, though

As with any shared POV

I think it's like racists. Whether one wants to be one or not is not tied with being one or not. That doesn't mean they all have one secret handshake

🤯

So basically L before consonants is generally mute?

Wait... What? I'm not supposed to pronounce the l in salmon?

what happened is the programmer made assumption based on the illusion created by the libraries: writing application on arduino is just like using a library on a unix-box. (which is not correct)

That is why I have become carefull to promote tools that make things to easy, that are to good at hiding the complexity of things. Unless they are really dummy-proof after years and decades of use, you have to be very carefull not to create assumptions that are simply not true.

I know where you're coming from. And I'm not saying you're wrong. But just a thought: what do you think will prevail? Having many people bash together pieces and call in someone who understands the matter only about things that don't. Or having more people understand the real depths?
I'm afraid that in cases where the point is not to become the expert, first one will be chosen as viable tactic

Long time ago we were putting things together manually crafting assembly code. Now we use high level languages to churn out the code faster and solve un-optimalities throwing more hardware at the problem until optimizations come in in interpreter/compiler. We're already choosing the first one

Apparently new NVIDIA open source kernel module has the same performance as propietary so I'd fall back on the data from this and decide based on that

Some tools for fan curves etc might be still a little bit unpolished for NVIDIA, maintainers had a lot more time to fix them for AMD. But there are many NVIDIA users out there so I'd wager on the biggest issues being addressed rather sooner than later

Well, you have configuration and flag options to define what is it supposed to be trying to use. What order, I think too. But definitely understanding SSH a little bit will make the log more understandable. As with everything tbh :D

The whole point of ssh-agent is to remember your passphrase. If you don't want to do that your problem might be that for some reason ssh client doesn't pick up your key. Try defining it for the host

Also, there's -v flag for ssh. Use it to debug what's going on when it doesn't try to use your key

That can become an issue but IMO the person in your example used the tool wrong. To use it to write the boilerplate for you, MVP, see how the libraries should be used sets one on the track. But that track should be used to start messing with it and understand why what goes where. LLM for code used as replacement is misuse. Used as time booster is good. Unless you completely don't want to learn it, just have something that works. But that assumption broke in your example the moment they decided to add something to it

I have a very "on hands" way of learning things. I had in the past situations when I read whole documentation for a library back to back but in the end I had to copy something that somehow works and keep breaking it and fixing it to understand how it works. The part between documentation to MVP wasn't easier because I've read the documentation
For such kinds of learning, having an LLM create something that works is a great speed up. In theory a tutorial might help in such cases. But it has to exist and very often I want something like this but... can mean that one is exploring direction that won't address their use-case

EDIT: A thought experiment. If I go to fiverr asking for a project, then for another one, and then start smashing them together the problem is not in what the freelancers did. It's in me not knowing what I'm doing. But if I can have a 100 line boilerplate file that only needs a little tinkering generated from a few sentences of text, that's a great speed up

Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?

Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is

And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like
