Heads up that the switch 2 launched last May! (Depending on region) though they announced the next mainline Pokémon game won’t launch till 2027.

Above is probably referencing an "Upgrade Pack," a product allowing owners of Switch 1 games get them to work a little better on the Switch 2. For examples, the $10 "Pokemon Legends" Upgrade Pack slightly improves the frame rate and draw distance.

I don’t care how practical it may or may not be, this is my new favorite LLM benchmark


Do you recall what podcast? I know hearing him say this was intentional is only gonna make me frustrated, but I’m dying to hear the justification for such a bad decision.


It’s actually not. 60% opposed,+20% not sure is 80% of the population would count as a “vast majority”

Are these polls as good as the election pools? dubious at best.


Election polls were only ever off a couple percentage points. US elections are hard to predict because they are so close. And because of the electoral system. So missing by a bit can mean making a wildly wrong prediction.

This does not apply to opinion questions that show huge differences (not single digit percentage point differences), though there validity, not reliability is a bigger concern, especially since there exists no voting benchmark you can measure against.

Still: I think it’s awfully convenient to just wholly discount actual empirical evidence whenever you feel like it because it might not be perfect. Why exactly do you think your gut feeling is better?


I had Xfinity for 4 years and my IP changed once in that time! Now I have fiber from centurylink, and it changes anytime I need to reboot the fiber modem or my firewall. Different companies, same metro area though. That too makes me wonder about how both manage their allocations give the difference in IP assignments.


My personal favorite example of this in football

This is great. I’m working on something similar for tracking college football games from the terminal. Right now it just shows a List of active games with minimal navigation. lots of great inspiration.


It’s also common within Microsoft. I can’t speak to when/why they decide to do it, but the leads for the Microsoft Gaming (Phill Spencer) and LinkedIn [acquired 2016] (Ryan Roslansky) are both CEOs in the org chart at Microsoft.


This came up in my recommendations yesterday and I ended up losing a few hours to videos on this channel! The one thing I didn’t understand was why at ~14:00 they’re gluing the CMOS battery down!? That battery will certainly last less than the useful life of the PC. Seems like a surprising choice.


>gluing down CMOS ... seems surprising

This is because without securing the battery, it becomes the most-likely RMA reason (shipping can unseat the battery).

For the zero/one time in the computer's lifetime that it requires replacement, there's a chemical that will remove the glue's attachment.


Very good point. I know there’s a “clip” there to keep it secure, but certainly could get moved during shipping.


Glue is cheaper than a spring loaded cmos battery holder like you get on desktop boards


For anyone else that, like me, doesn’t know the acronym. It stands for.

“systems development life cycle”

Not to be confused with the protocol :-)
