  • Fix Logitech deliberate banning of Linux

    Jump

  • Logitech is actually one of the most Linux-friendly brands out there.

    This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem is more or less dead in current years due to non-chrome browsers declining to add support.

    Logitech products have plenty of Linux-friendly tooling like Solaar and G810-led because Logitech tacitly makes it easy to reverse engineer and hack on their hardware.

  • TIL the color "chartreuse" is named after a liqueur

  • You’re missing 1 part lime juice in there.

    Good taste though ;).

  • I just need to save up a little bit more

  • Stunning and iconic

  • I just tried vibe coding with Claude

    Jump

  • Vibe coding, in the sense of telling the model to make codebase changes, then directly using the output produced, is 100% marketing bullshit that does not scale beyond toy examples.

    Here’s the rub: Claude is extremely useful as an advanced autocomplete, if and only if you’re guiding it architecturally through every task it runs, and you vet + revise the output yourself between iterations. You cannot effectively pilot entirely from chat in a mature codebase, and you must compile robust documentation and instructions for Claude to know how to work with your codebase.

    You also must aggressively manage information in the context window yourself and keep it clean. You mentioned going in circles trying to get the robot to correct itself: huge mistake. Rewind to before the error, and give it better instructions to steer it away from the pitfall it fell into. Same vein, you also need to reset ASAP after pushing into the >100k token mark, because the models start melting into putty soon after (yes, even the “extended” 1M-window ones).

    I’m someone who has massively benefited from using modern LLMs in my work, but I’m also a massive hater at the same time: They’re just a tool, not magic, and have to be used with great care and attention to get reasonable results. You absolutely cannot delegate your thinking to them, because it will bite you, hard and fast.

    For your use case (3D math), what I recommend is decomposing your end goal into a series of pure functions that you’ll string together. Once you have that list, that’s where Claude comes in. Have it stub those functions for you, then have it implement them one at a time, reviewing the output of every one before proceeding.

  • House Resolution 1155 - Articles of Impeachment for DJT

    Jump

  • Honestly, I’m all for it and wish the dems had been doing it even more.

    It’s not about success at this point; it’s about making it resolutely clear through the voting record which members of congress are seditious traitors abrogating their oath of office. Makes it much easier for the Nuremburg II lawyers, in other words, if/when a future reckoning happens.

  • Journalist detained for booing Trump at Kennedy Center 'Chicago' performance

    Jump

  • He addresses that directly FWIW

    Ramirez, who is of Cuban heritage and worked as an anchor on Sinclair's national evening newscast, said his instinct to go public was a professional reflex. "Journalism is a vocation, not just a job," he told the Blade. "The Kennedy Center is a federally funded cultural institution, and being questioned about speech related to the president in that setting felt like something the public should know about."

    He said the presence of the White House press pool made clear the appearance was a managed media moment. "It was very clearly about protection — whether protecting the president from visible dissent, or his image before the media present. There was no disruption. Simply expressing dissent in a public, cultural space drew the attention of security."

  • Dems Claim to Want a Hasan Piker — Then Try to Cancel Him

  • My dude, you’ve fallen for a cult of personality.

  • Dems Claim to Want a Hasan Piker — Then Try to Cancel Him

    Jump

  • I just refreshed my memory from the KYM dogtober page and both those people are mentioned once, offhand. What else would I know them from?

    I did see a video of Hasan dragging his other dog by the tail and yanking it around. Did those other streamers make him do that?

  • Dems Claim to Want a Hasan Piker — Then Try to Cancel Him

    Jump

  • I have no idea who those other streamers are. But I’ve watched several hours of Hasan on his own merit, and that fella is a trog all the way through: The Rogan/Asmongold comparisons are right on the money.

    Now sit in your place.

  • You’re totally on the money with your core thesis about epidemiological studies here, and I agree processed meats as a standalone variable are likely a massively overplayed factor in CRC research.

    When it comes to the more general claims in the GP comment though, re: processed food and low fiber, there are literally hundreds of independent studies at different levels all pointing in similar directions. It’s pretty incontrovertible at this point.

    See any recent review on CRC etiology for reference, e.g.: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Elroy-Weledji/publication/377724506_Clinics_in_Oncology_The_Etiology_and_Pathogenesis_of_Colorectal_Cancer_OPEN_ACCESS/links/65b3f83e79007454973be66e/Clinics-in-Oncology-The-Etiology-and-Pathogenesis-of-Colorectal-Cancer-OPEN-ACCESS.pdf

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • Okay, how would you connect the UDHR’s core principles to FOSS in a meaningful, concrete way?

    It’s great as a set of guidelines, but their implementation is very much left as an exercise to the reader, which I think is what the GP is getting at.

  • What is the best vps provider for privacy and price to performance?

    Jump

  • Hetzner is quite infamous for suddenly terminating people’s service and forcing customers to provide copies of their ID to get running again. They’re a great provider for many things but fall flat when it comes to privacy.

  • What is the best vps provider for privacy and price to performance?

    Jump

  • It’s a weird pick, but I recommend https://bloom.host/.

    They’re gaming-focused, but their Ryzen vps boxes are really performant. Very helpful and competent support, great uptime and comms, solid tooling and monitoring.

    You can pay with a virtual card no problem. Never had issues getting blocked when behind VPN either.

  • I work in biomed R&D, and specifically spent several years in Radiology.

    Industry consensus is that CAD occasionally picks up anomalies that a radiologist would have missed, but the false positives it picks up are noisy enough to largely offset that benefit. It’s fine if used as a second pass to catch areas a human missed, but doesn’t actually perform “better than a doctor” in a vacuum, precisely because it’s not thinking for itself and e.g. cross referencing the imaging against clinical history.
