Right, that’s what the canals are useful for, what did you think they meant?

Perhaps it is not the entire world who is stupid while you’re one of a select few intelligent enough to really know what’s going on.

I’m not sure where you got the impression that that was at all what I was saying, but just to restate, the complaint was that the above points never even make it into the conversation when this comes up. The discourse is always ‘Robots are taking away our jobs’, and it completely misses the ‘…and that would be okay if we took steps to ensure everyone’s prosperity’ followup.

I’m not saying we should stop opposing this stuff because an alternative exists where it’s okay, I’m saying that we should be actively talking about that alternative every time this comes up, because the vast majority of people [in the US] are not used to even hearing it.

I agree with you, I just hate that it rarely ever even makes it into the conversation. “We need to regulate this new technology until we pass this other legislation that we are actively working towards which I will now outline” would be far more productive than just “This is bad and we need to ban it.”

The reasons related to them occupying sidewalks and whatnot are totally reasonable, but I really hate when something like this is opposed because it will take jobs from delivery drivers. That’s such a backwards way of thinking. “Humans need to work because working is how we make money and we need money to live” Sure, but like… what if we didn’t need money to live? What if the increased ‘free’ labor that things like this provide was just… shared equitably among everyone in the community? What if we had UBI so people didn’t need to work gig economy jobs that could be done by robots?

But no, that’s crazy talk. The orphan crushing machine must keep running at all costs.

Hate to tell you…

Imagine you’re the leader of a country. You’ve got beef with the leader of another country.

You can resolve your beef by sending thousands or tens of thousands of plebs to die, while remaining safe yourself, or you can normalize directly targeting each other with assassins.

In the first case, you sit safely on your throne sipping wine while the conflict resolves itself. In the latter case, you’re constantly looking over your shoulder, wondering who’s going to come for you next.

Taped as in, to record something on VHS. If there was a show on broadcast TV and you want to watch it later, you “taped” it.

It could also, however, be legitimate evidence that proves guilt, but that was obtained through illegal means and therefore is inadmissible in court.

My wife and I both work; she makes about 150% of what I do. This ‘woman bad lol’ rhetoric should just stick to Reddit or 4chan.

Personally, a life without stress, anxiety, worry and doubt is the very definition of happiness.

Yeah, anyone who says “Money can’t buy happiness” has enough money that they’ve already attained what normal people would consider ‘happiness’, their standards are just unreasonably high.

There’s different kinds of “no worries lines”. My family is above 100k, and we’re not in the “If we miss a paycheck we won’t be able to eat this week” range, but we’re certainly in the “An unexpected medical bill or necessary home repair could wipe us out” range.

The true no worries line - where unexpected expenses aren’t an issue and you expect to be able to comfortably retire some day - is considerably higher, at least where I live.

If you’re launching the game through Steam, it should work regardless of whether it’s a steam game or not, yeah.

If clicking Edit beside Desktop Layout takes you to the control configuration panel, it’s enabled - otherwise, you’d get a prompt to enable it instead.

Oh, I think I might have misunderstood what you were trying to do.

Are you using SteamInput for the desktop controller input? (In steam, go to Settings -> Controller -> scroll to the bottom to Non-Game Controller Layouts, and enable SteamInput for Desktop Layout)?

If you do this, and set your desktop input map up through Steam, it’ll automatically switch between that layout and whatever game layout you have when you launch a game.

You can set up modifiers and button sets in SteamInput, it’s quite powerful - you could (for example) set a combo like LT+Start to swap to a keyboard-based set (and back again), or make your keyboard inputs require LT+RT as a modifier… Assuming I’m understanding what you’re trying to do, this should solve your problem purely through Steam’s interface.

It’s saying Copilot was the first on the scene and had access to literally all of the training data anyone could possibly want, and is still being shown up by most other AI models. Their failure to capture the vibe coding space is a legendary fumble. At least that was my read.

Username checks out! I trust you as an authority on this subject!

That is fun sounding; too bad it’s VR + mobile and not… a more reasonable set of environments!

You know, I would totally play an extraction game where you play as a squirrel gathering nuts and things.

The distinction is that NIMBYs only object to the infrastructure when it’s in their back yard. I think the majority of people object to these data centers anywhere, but only have voting power to directly oppose them in their back yards, so that’s where their effort is spent. I haven’t seen anyone say “I definitely want another massive datacenter to go up, just not here.”
