I mean…gyro support is such a niche thing. The PS3 controller introduced gyro support - what used it? There’s examples, but not many, because most games are made to be multi platform, and programming in gyro controls is a lot harder than most other controls

Nintendo is an exception because they have a lot of exclusives - gyro support is a lot more appealing to implement if all of the devices have it, plus they probably encouraged it

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the incentive for exclusives to have it remains, this is a tool for porting to the switch and exploring new control schemes more than anything else

There’s so much to unpack in such a short statement

If I hadn’t just seen an announcement about gpt-5 that ended with “I guess I’m retiring” this probably would’ve got me

Okay… But how much of that is realized?

Before, you told a doctor where to call to get your past records… Now, you tell your doctor where to request your past records. If your doctor works in the same healthcare system campus, they might get them automatically, past that it might happen behind the scenes if you get a referral

Backups are true… Except everyone has their own proprietary formats that require specific software to access the data, and if one of those companies go under, then what?

Access controls and tracking are true, but what’s digital can be hacked or leaked. Paper is far more secure - maybe they can phish one person’s records more easily without it, but the wrong IT person (who is multiple steps removed) can leak the whole database

I’m not saying paper is better - I’m saying electronic medical records are such a garbage fire in implementation that they bog down the healthcare part of healthcare. They eliminate jobs by automating processeses, but they end up getting rid of support staff in exchange for making the healthcare workers do more work

And I’m not saying it couldn’t be better - I’m saying that it’s just such a mess of proprietary software and regulation that it became one more layer of wealth extraction that bogs down actual healthcare

Yeah, but like… Are they really? No two systems communicate, every hospital configures even the same systems to be essentially incompatible, and the system is built as if it’s all seamless

It’s so bad. Paper records in a secure central database would be an improvement - 20 years of this and bending over harder for insurance companies is the only change

I mean, the pathology goes so much deeper.

Musk’s family hates him. Like they actively go out of their way to speak against him. His father tweets shit about him, his grown children want nothing to do with him but will speak out against him, his ex… Well you could fill a book with that. His mother and his youngest child (who he uses like a prop) are the only ones that haven’t publicly worked against him

What friends does he have? His billionaire buddies will make moves with him, but we’ve seen the text chains - it’s all business. They barely react when he goes against his word… They congratulated him for buying Twitter himself after making plans to go into it together that he backed out of - no way that wasn’t a backhanded compliment

Trump hates his guts… But sucks up to him. What friends does he have? He has sycophants, he has people eager to use him… But every relationship he has is based around the fact he’s the richest billionaire. If he loses that, what does he have? Who does he have?

I mean, theoretically all original anonymous members are co-founders

It’s nebulous, bu at some point t it went from an idea to a hacktivist affiliation. Anyone who got on board with the idea before they did anything could be fairly called a co-founder

They do exist… They’re over at Lemmygrad.ml, I ventured over when I had the same question

Their ideology is a mess, they don’t have a roadmap beyond “workers of the world unite, then we’ll figure everything out”. And some of them think China and Russia are communist, or at least socialist… Which first off, they’re not, but more importantly they’re authoritarian regimes, which gets glossed over

It’s a fraction of the left, and a fraction of them are so focused on America bad they ignore what China does, and a fraction of them outright deny China or Russia have ever done anything wrong… I’ve encountered them online, but it’s very rare - especially if you don’t go looking for them

Obscurity is not security. We’ve learned a lot about security in the post 20 years, let alone the last 40

No, cobol is not more secure because it’s a dead language. Obscurity is a hurdle, security is a wall - security is mathematical and good practices, obscurity is just being weird. It takes a bit longer to get past the weird, getting past a solid wall is a matter of luck or brilliance

It’s possibly the oldest Democratic constitution, seeing as it’s both based on English common law and Democratic. That being said, it doesn’t mean it’s good… It has provisions to allow it to be updated or replaced for a reason

But it allows for slavery extremely awkwardly - it’s so obviously at odds with every point the document makes

Well for now, the courts aren’t giving up their power like Congress

So if he doesn’t show up, they’re going to rule against him and take it out of his bank account

Trump and Elon have gone through their life just fucking everything up. Really turning everything into dog shit

They had teams of people running around behind them doing their best with the chaos they leave in their wake… But those people often took their idiotic ideas and tried to reverse or misdirect them

So these guys started seeing this protection from their own incompetence as an obstacle. So they put a lot of work into removing them and replacing them with yes men and true believers

Now, more than anything, Trump and Elon are confused. They’re doing what they’ve always done, faster and more directly than ever - and they genuinely seem baffled that people keep getting angry at them

If only. I’d support the idiot if he actually had any chance of getting humanity to Mars

True, but the second you can’t buy enough food at the grocery store it all goes poof

If we stop, even for a couple weeks, the system collapses. If a third of people stop showing up for work, if a third of people steal their food rather than pay for it, if a third of people stop paying rent… It all just melts away like a snow flurry

Money means the value assigned to it - if it can’t feed you, it means nothing. If it stops moving, so does ‘the economy’. It’s so much more fragile than it seems

That’s wasteful and dangerous

Harvest the beast for batteries and GPUs

Wait, did he figure out how security clearances work finally or did he just declare it on truth social?

Loose lips shouldn’t throw stones

Okay, so like ac in a capacitor smooths current, right? As opposed to DC, where it stores energy?

Imagine a positive and negative terminal with goo in the middle. Atoms move around it randomly in diffusion, but charged atoms are pulled left then right in oscillation. On average, they’d be in the middle

Those ions impart positive charge to the side they’re on, so if your cycle is off in one direction or the other, they’d be pushed to the opposite conductor - smoothing the current

I’m not just talking about an insulator - I’m talking about an insulator fluid enough for ions to travel through based on the charges of the…I forget the word in this context, it’s anode or cathode

Like rubber? Great insulator, but it’s solid - you can’t make a capacitor out of it (or a gate, but that’s more about heat conductivity). So dielectric insulators must be fluid to some degree, right?

I mean, there’s no such thing as a perfect insulator (at least nothing we can build with)

It definitely resists the movement of free elections through… But think a capacitor let’s ions flow, grease is a sort of fluid…

So I’m thinking it must be a material that let’s atoms move around to some degree, but resists the transfer of electrons

What do you mean? It’s a problem in your way, it takes how long it takes to get through it
