  • 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    This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem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.






  • dgdft@lemmy.worldtoProgramming@programming.devI just tried vibe coding with Claude

    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.


  • What are you basing that on?

    The linked article roundly suggests that the protestors in question are staunchly anti-war and largely a non-zionist cohort.

    From the outset, we protested because the consequences of this unlawful war were clear. It threatened to ignite a regional conflict that would claim countless civilian lives across the Middle East. To us, its stated objectives echoed past catastrophic Western attempts at regime change that produced nothing but prolonged instability and devastation.

    Prominent figures of the Zionist left like Yair Golan, and members of anti-government protest groups like “Brothers and Sisters in Arms” (who previously declared their refusal to show up for reserve duty in protest of Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul) failed to show up for a simple reason: They do not oppose the war. The sobering reality is that, beyond a handful of Palestinian and non-Zionist Jewish MKs, there is no genuine parliamentary opposition to the war.









  • I haven’t done any real labwork in about a decade, so probably a dumb question, but wouldn’t repeat distillation be a viable option for a control like that? Or are you suggesting the gloves might’ve been the culprit?

    I know you’ll always get some nanoplastics carried over through aerosol droplets able to survive, but I’d naively expect you could still get a few orders of magnitude cleaner than the ordinary DI tap.


  • Just adding my two cents as a happy user of several years: I vastly prefer its results to ddg/google, I kinda forgot the AI stuff existed since I turned it off and it’s stayed off, and I never hit the quota when I was on the limited plan.

    The real killer feature is the ability to downrank or block spammy sites IME (pinterest, fandom, etc.).
