- The one thing I wish it has is 3.5mm audio jack. Both Xbox and SONY's dualsense controller have this. But SONY don't support audio via Bluetooth. The Xbox one need a USB adapter but its build is not as good as SONY's. SONY don't have a USB adapter. Given Steam controller is already using an USB puck, it should be able to support it.
- I want to note that: long prompts are good only if the model is optimized for it. I have tried to swap the underlying model for Claude Code. Most local models, even those claimed to work with long context and tool use, don't work well when instruction becomes too long. This has become an issue for tool use, where tool use works well in small ChatBot-type conversation demos, but when Claude's code-level prompt length increases, it just fails, either forgetting what tools are there, forgetting to use them, or returning in the wrong formats. Only the model by OpenAI, Google's Gemini, kind of works, but not as well as Anthropic's own models. Besides they feel much slower.
- I do japanese transcription + gemini translations. It’s worse than fansub, but its much much better than nothing. First thing that could struggle is actually the vad, then is special names and places, prompting can help but not always. Finally it’s uniformity (or style). I still feel that I can’t control the punctuation well.
- Recently, I visited the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum and was fascinated to learn that when steel railcars were first introduced—despite being far safer than their wooden predecessors, which could easily be crushed—many people feared they might attract lightning. It's such a good analogue to our movement into AI reality.
- Yeah and of course it will be depend on your personality and risk model. Compared to other things I don’t want to risk my data, whether leaked or damaged. And I make mistakes, a lot. If you are very meticulous and can ensure that you can put up all the security measures yourself and won’t expose something you don’t want to. I am just not that kind of person.
- I don’t think this is the right analogue. Having someone come to your door breaking things would take much larger effort, and easy to be caught. But DDoS or attack your service has minimal cost.
Visiting sites and sending the IP address is not the problem, the router has firewall and basically blocking unwanted attention. But when you expose something without protection and allow someone to burn your CPU, or, in a worse case, figure out your password for a not properly secured service, is a totally another issue.
I saw people setting up honey pot SSH and there are so many unauthorized access and I got scared. I think exposing entire machine to network is like you drive car without insurance. Sure you might be OK, but when trouble comes, it will be a lot of trouble.
