The real anti-semitism here is the erasure of Jewish Nazis.

"AI" is the Vodka Redbull of computing. Make bad decisions faster.

Eugh. Digital pollution.

Real hackxxxors would have called them Daemons, after the independent Unix background programs and their namesake tutelsry spirits, instead of Agents, the murderous jailes of mankind in the Matrix

ALSO: You have no idea just HOW MANY "Don't create the Torment Nexus" books and myths there are in the world. We don't need to be able to read the code to know when programmers are about to pop the cork on the Bottle Imp.

huge fucking problem in ways I literally cannot explain to STEM people because they are completely incurious about foundational knowledge about art, culture, philosophy.

I hang out with a lot of software engineers and I could not scream this loudly enough; They frequently struggle with perspectives from outside STEM that critically inform what they do and how they do it. The wall goes both ways. STEMs contempt for and lack of understanding of the humanities is a

Yeah that kind of thinking is how we even got to this point.

And this is all because STEM is dominated by people who think everyone who doesn't act exactly like them is an NPC and think that art is superstitious nonsense. The unlimited fires of creation, zero imagination. Can't even create fucking legs.

All the people with freakishly super-massive tripods were exiled to Antarctica for freaking out lumberjacks with their log-like protrusions. Now they sadly wander the icy wastes plowing mile deep gouges in the hard earth.

I hate living in the end of history. I hate the liberals for killing the future.

reach some distant pinky button. It just fucking works, its intuitive, and once you get used to it you never want to go back to contorting your hand to grasp a function deficient puck again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

working on making my own goddadmn ergo mouse when I found the Cyro. And it's great, Mouse wheels are shit! The cyro has a thumb joystick and an 5-pos hat switch and those are just flat out better. It has 16 buttons that fall gravefullly under your fingers so you don't have to rip a tendon trying to

ones are actually ergonomically awful? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The whole reason I know the Cyro exists is because of a quest to find an ergo mouse when I started getting wrist pain a few years ago. I was searching and searching for something worthwhile and got to the point where i was

have good research on how constant wrist pronation contributes to RSI but it's also trivially fucking easy to put a mouse in a shell that mimicks the relaxed shape of the hand but did you know there are barely any commercially available ergo mice? And they're mostly low end trash, and the high end

Hook up the Novint Falcon as your controller and you could even feel texture and mass of your workpiece! Actual virtual clay, with texture and mass and density and everything! Instead we're drawing on goddamn digital paper!

Have I started screaming about ergo yet? Because *SOMEHOW* we still don't

intuitive and natural way? And it barely exists, a decade after commercial VR became a thing. Oh it does exist, but the options are paltry, there are all kinds of bizarre limitations, nothing talks to anything else. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. IT'S LITERALLY ONE TO ONE TO SCULPTING PHYSICAL MEDIA! AHHHHHHHHHH

We could change the whole goddamn paradigm of interacting with PCs! And this was a one-off 20 year old tech demonstrator!

Ever looked in to native VR 3d modelling programs It's a goddamn mess! It seems so intuitive that you could use VR to work on models with a tray of clay sculpting tools in an

Imagine smashing two of these things in to a pair of Azeron Cyborgs?!?!?!?! Two 3d cursors that you can use without every removing your hands from the keyboard. Haptic feedback when you mouse over a fire or the autocorrect detects a typo! Us depth to navigate context menus! Push and pull to zoom!

A truly hands-on experience: a review of the Novint Falcon The Novint Falcon doesn't want you to play games, it wants you to feel them.

Look at this fucking thing! 20 years ago and you're still using mouse with three buttons and a keyboard! There are 3d mice but they're expensive, finnicky, and only work with like seven specific cad programs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

care that that's how computers work, neither you nor I work primarily in Assembly. We're working through so many layers of interpretation and abstraction, and it's all still a metaphor for a stack of clay tablets in a smoky stone age scriptorium.

bootsector. It's actually fucking unbelievable that you cannot just hook up an arbitrary number of pointer devices and use them all independently! Imagine how much that would help with goddamn anything that involves manipulating images!??!?!!? It's just a typewriter with pretensions! And I don't

Like, how, how, how fucking *CONSTRAINING* is it that we can't have two mice at once? Two mice at once! HOW IS THAT AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM? We've got multitouch on goddamn touchscreens, but when you ask Windows to track two different pointers at once it returns a divide by zero error and deletes the

As a person with a bachelor's in history and a love of open source technology, I wholeheartedly approve of this statement.

ABOUT IT!

it yet another shitty mimicry of moving clay tablets around in a Babylonian scriptorium. We're still fucking carving cuneiform in to digital mud. All this so called technology is indistinguishable from a sufficiently advanced clay tablet! NOTHING HAS FUCKING CHANGED AND YES I WILL SEPHIROTH POST

LLMs, machine learning,

VR? So much potential, *NONE OF IT REALIZED*. The only people actually exploring the potential of VR are the furries over at VR chat. Everyone else is taking this absolutely trasnformational technology and trying to malke

electric goose feathers on Papyrus. Computers aren't technological development! They're not new technology! It just lets us do stone age bullshit faster so we can be miserable at unprecedented velocities! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

All this fucking shit, these incredibly powerful procssors, vast storage,

falcon? Fucking brilliant! A genuine 3d input device with haptic feedback! Nothing like it before or since. No VR, no cameras, no lighthouses. Just a nice solid chunk of plastic that lets you manipulate a cursor in 3d space. And *IN 2026* twelve billion graphic designers are working with glorified
