How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?
- Comment on AND THEY DIDN'T STOP EATING 1 week ago:
It won’t. That’s simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.

That would’ve generated fewer clicks. Sensationalism is always more profitable.

You can’t “dmca” the fork that was created while it was still open source. They could only prevent it from getting future updates (directly from them).

The dude hires people for programming positions and a lot of people use their GitHub as a portfolio, basically. He was saying that if you don’t have that, you’re basically not even considered for the job.
In summary, this specific case was about it being basically a requirement to program 24/7. Which is pretty toxic.

Then you’re lacking context and have been arguing without understanding what I was referring to.
Luke at LTT works in the development side of the company (floatplane for example) and the “side projects” are public repos in github/gitlab/etc.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 2 months ago:
“easily”? Please, name one device that has UWB and doesn’t include bluetooth.
Besides, if this is included in 6.0 and assuming it does cost much more per chip, where’s the harm in having a better feature set? This seems like an incredibly pointless discussion.

But it’s still sitting in front of a computer programming. I do that but not that often. I’m already programming 8-9 hours a day. My interests go way beyond that.

Well yeah, it hasn’t beem released yet. Is this your idea of a joke?

Not all phones have UWB. On the other hand, they do have Bluetooth.

I think we misunderstood each other. I was also referring to the company. Well, both actually.

*there
None of the things you mentioned justify having a toxic hiring policy/work culture.

Even Luke, who I always agreed with the most and seemed the most level-headed has talked about their hiring process and said that, if you don’t have personal projects, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be considered for a position in LTT.
Supposedly it’s because that shows a “lack of passion”. Personally, I find that rather toxic. Like, dude, I do this for work and I also have a life. I literally do not have enough time to exercise, take care of my loved ones and also maintain personal projects.

- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
Not really, no. Sources of infornation gain a reputation as time goes on. So, even though you should still check with multiple sources, you can sort of know if a certain bit of information is likely to be correct or not.
On the other hand, LLM’s will quote different sources and sometimes it will only provide them if you ask it to. Even then it sometimes hallucinates the sources so there’s that.

And even if it’s showing the correct number, you can’t be sure how trustworthy the source is.

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
You’re confusing changing the priority of the inputs with creating them. Not the same thing.
In my opinion this should be implemeted on a OS level for all to use
Tons of keyboard/mice features are applied per device. If you want to do this on yours, it’s free. Look it up.
There’s no barrier for entry and it makes the gameplay quicker. There are no downsides here, this feels like plain gatekeeping.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
The game is coded to not allow you to strafe while pressing both side buttons
The way this feature works haa nothing to do with how the game is coded and go, cs does not explicitly try to prevent you from doing this. If it does, please show me your source. If they actually wanted to do that, they could also add a minimum delay between the inputs and not ban anyone.
Allowing hardware to change how a character behaves lowers the skill ceiling.
Lowers the skill ceiling to strafe but strafing isn’t something thata everyone does. Considering that it makes you harder to hit, and shooting IS something everyone does, it means that everyone has to improve their tracking skills.
Still a closer analogy than “are they gonna ban low latency peripherals.” Genuinely baffling how you came to that conclusion.
If that baffles you, it means you didn’t give it much thought. Lower latency benefits people with better reflexes. If you have a mouse that has a high latency and I a keyboard that has very low latency, that means I can avoid more of your shots.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
The super light mouse doesn’t move itself.
These keyboards also don’t move your character on their own. They simply allow you to react faster by not requiring you to fully depress the key before the other input is accepted. This is simillar to banning n-key rollover if something like 4-key rollover was the norm. It’s an improvement on movement and raises the skill ceiling.
To top it all off, this feature is not hardware restricted. Unlike wooting’s other things like setting the key depress distance, which you can do because they have optical switches.
Imagine if you had a mouse that stopped moving when your crosshair passed over an enemy. Is that acceptable?
No. But that example is also nothing like the feature being discussed here. Are you sure you understand what this does?

Almost as of it was a looter shooter. Oh wait…
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Are you going to ban mice that are too light? How about super low latency peripherals? Are monitors next? Is there a limit for the specs on those?
I really can’t see how this makes sense for you.

- Comment on OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end 6 months ago:
Text looks perfectly fine from a normal distance on a 27" 1440p monitor. And yeah, the pixel count IS significantly higher. It’s about 16% more.
However, if you want higher power consumption and much lower fps for little to no gain, you do you brother.
- Comment on OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end 6 months ago:
5k makes no sense in a 27" monitor and no gpu would be able to actually drive that many pixels in a game at a high refresh rate.
