  Who knew that incompetence backed by mountains of money could be so destructive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what exactly is the steam frame?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it can.

  Valve is a PC gaming company, so of course they also cater to people who want to run their VR games on their monster gaming rigs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i cant wait to get a steam frame⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meta does all kinds of creepy shit, like using the cameras to compile a list of items in your home. I’d rather not do VR at all than use Meta, no matter how good it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i cant wait to get a steam frame⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Me too. From what I’ve heard meta hardware is great, but I wouldn’t take it even if they gave it to me for free.

  This is the worst way to use AI, if it means what it sounds like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably depends on what you do. I haven’t used AI autocomplete myself, so I can’t talk from experience, but what I had in mind was the somewhat repetitive work I’ve been doing recently with gui widgets. I expect an LLM to get that mostly right.
