    I didn't know whether I'd like a sokoban game. But it's really quite a nice game.

    I think it'll be a much bigger player in personal compute in the coming years. Especially thanks to Proton and FEX.

    Not really, it could also be mostly the same dev team behind it. And it's still lacks just as many features as the first :p

    That's a slap to the original developers.

    That's quite the assumption there

    Only GLM-5.2 out of our set of tested open-weight models is capable of full end-to-end replication (assuming its capabilities could be packed into Llama3.1-8B).

    That's quite the assumption there

    I didn't think there'd be that many. Though maybe the glow effect is hiding the sparsity a bit.

    That's it?

    $1.5 billion investment in production in the ‌state, a ⁠commitment not to sell either studio lot, and potential penalties if Paramount fails to honor a pledge to produce 30 movies a year after the merger.

    That's it?

    the people closest to this technology don't know it the best or can't be trusted to give observations.

    I'm not entirely convinced they do. Demonstrated by the lack of safeguards in the sandbox through which the hugging face hack occured. The whole story was wild in all the wrong ways IMHO.

    I would not be surprised if at this point, nearly every part of this is vibe coded, orchestrated by agents or researched by LLMs. Which gives me the impression that AI development is more akin to fueling a hydrothermal vent, hoping superintelligence pops out.

    You'll get one eventually. I was waiting for Steam Deck for three months.

    Well, I'm worried the price of the unit is going to increase before I ever get the chance to order it.

    I might have to ask Valve, but I doubt I'll get a satisfying answer. Nobody had to put any money down for this lottery, so they're under no obligation to keep the price as-is. And I don't think 2027 is looking good in that regard.

    I'll just try and forget about this product until I get the opportunity to purchase it. No point in holding on to the excitement from launch for an indeterminate amount of time :P

    I think most people will buy the accessories kit and charger and Valve hopes you don't realize you just spent another 90$
