Like a war or something? I can't think of a successful non-bad way for everyone to stop besides a treaty.

Outside of the current nonsense in Iran, we've never had to go to war to prevent nuclear arms. We've never had to go to war to ban weapons in space. These things are possible. Hard but possible

> we've never had to go to war to prevent nuclear arms. We've never had to go to war to ban weapons in space

We've mostly been blindsided by covert nuclear programmes. As for weapons in space, they don't have any purpose. The moment they make sense we'll see weapons in space.


That's why treaties sound reasonable to me. Though I'd imagine they would be more like Climate Change ones. Before Iran there were bombings to stop nuclear arms. Imagine a country getting bombed because it's detected their building a data center.

Which parts of this were ideas you came up with yourself?

It’s Astra ui and graphics. I recognise it after only having seen 3 examples…

Interesting this has the exact same controls with slidy movement + space bar to stop. It seems likely Claude based it off of it and the other MIT game.

They could use the camera aperture to take a second photo and calculate blur.

Closing sale! 50%+ Off Sale on data for the majority of humans on Earth!

The idea of that data ending up in new undetermined hands may-or-may-not be a worse thing, but it reminds me of this bit from Making Money, by Terry Pratchett:

> 'Vetinari, are we to believe that you knowingly put the most important bank in the city into the charge of a known bank robber?'

> [...] 'Should he have left it in the hands of unknown bank robbers?'


Is your username a reference to Terr_ _________?

I don't understand the question/joke.

Terry Pratchett sorry

Ah no, that'd be kinda —ing presumptuous of me.

Will it be cheap to generate Splat outputs with this to use in Spark?

It's a story writing competition...

Yeah, but I'm not going to write a short story about the Butlerian Jihad's inquisitors chasing down everyone who owns a GPU for this competition.

Fun until government contractors bought all the private data it collected with an unknown scope


What showed you this in this release? The motherboards compatibility?


Scripts and packages moving from steamos- to holo-. "holo" is the internal name for the base OS layer. Pulling the product brand out of the plumbing is what you do when the plumbing is going to run somewhere the brand doesn't apply.

Version jumps - Kernel 7.2 while stable SteamOS is on 6.16, and Plasma 6.4.3 straight to 6.7.3 — three desktop releases swallowed at once. The driver (heh) is probably compatibility.

Valve also reversed course on their adoption of iwd (Wifi), and are going back to wpa_supplicant for compatibility with various networks (They ported iwd's fast-resume trick over for parity).

All of the above changes point to maximizing OS compatibility with various devices.


It's awesome as a desktop. Way better than modern windows. It's like a weird Linux laptop you can unplug from your dock and use comfortably laying down which most computers can't.
