Yup, sure, but this is basically a "no true scotsman" argument, which isn't at all what the "AI" hype is about.
Put yourself in the shoes of some naive corporate exec. You want the software to get made, but you don't want to pay for it. To you, people (especially experts like programmers) are an expense. You'd very much like to skip that pesky part and go straight from an idea to the product. This is what the "AI" hype is largely about.
"AI" companies are trying to set up a narrative, in which programmers can be replaced with LLMs. Execs don't care whether you're coding or not - they care about expenses and profits, and they know a team of programmers is more expensive than an OpenAI subscription.
There's no big reason why remapping couldn't be done in a way that doesn't require actively running software on the host machine. QMK, the open source firmware for keyboards has had this for years. You can update your keymap with an online editor, but once it's flashed, your mappings will be remembered regardless of which computer/phone/whatever you use the keyboard with - without having to run any software besides the OS on the host.
LW? LimeWire? LessWrong? Luftwaffe? The deprecated chemical symbol for Lawrencium??
Americans sure love their acronyms.
Dumbest shit I've heard this week.
Switches that last forever would be interesting. Subscription models and sw updates for a mouse are the very opposite of interesting. I'd pay not to have either.
Old news. They already fixed Steam Deck compatibility.
The K6 is not programmable out-of-the-box, but it seems some people have successfully installed QMK firmware on it (with caveats); https://github.com/CanUnesi/QMK-on-K6/
If you just want to try the numpad thing out, it might be easier to use something like AutoHotKey. Here's an example of a script that uses CapsLock to toggle the numpad layer.
Of course, AHK scripts only work with the computer you've installed them to, whereas using programmable firmware will work regardless of which device you connect your keyboard to.
I do have to grind through entering a list of numbers
Have you considered a numpad layer? They're great. All of the speed and convenience with none of the wasted space or extra arm movements.
I have a numpad for both hands on my Redox :-)
You're not wrong, but your aggressive wording will surely alienate anyone who otherwise would've had a chance of learning something new or changing their mind. People don't generally respond well to snark nor a condescending tone.
And this is a real issue, because companies and fascists are good at telling relatable stories to win people to their side. If we want to have any chance at fighting back, we must utilize the same tools they're using, instead of calling people stupid and thus driving them away.
Factorio was inspired by Minecraft mods BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but yeah, few games have done what Factorio has, and those that have tried never quite reached it's level. Sure, there are games that feature automation with complex recipes (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Shapez), but only Factorio actually managed to pull off a sense of exponential scale.
Palworld is a popular monster catching and survival game that has sold over 5 million copies since its release. However, the game's developers have received death threats from upset Pokémon fans who believe the monster designs have been plagiarized from Pokémon. The CEO of Palworld's studio addressed these threats on Twitter, asking people to stop harassing the development team. While some clear similarities exist between Palworld and Pokémon monsters, the future of the game still looks bright if technical issues can be resolved and new content added over time. Overall, Palworld seems to have found great commercial success, but its popularity has also led to some unfortunate harassment of its creators from a minority of Pokémon fans.

Are you aware that Pokemon pretty much "stole" the creatures from Dragon Quest - an RPG from 1986?
Huh.. Do you also move the cursor with your keyboard? And if so, don't you have an RMB key? If you don't use a mouse, do you use a GUI that isn't suited for keyboard navigation?
Okay I'll bite..: How are PgUp and PgDown yellow, when Menu is missing from the list?
There's plenty to do if you install mods, particularly Modular Encounters Systems. Also, check out Splitsie's Survival Impossible -series if you need more inspiration :)
The responses read like they were generated with a large language model. Not that training such a model wouldn't take a bunch of time, but at least then the effort would approach zero over time.
That's because ChatGPT and LLM's are not oracles. They don't take into account whether the text they generate is factually correct, because that's not the task they're trained for. They're only trained to generate the next statistically most likely word, then the next word, and then the next one...
You can take a parrot to a math class, have it listen to lessons for a few months and then you can "have a conversation" about math with it. The parrot won't have a deep (or any) understanding of math, but it will gladly replicate phrases it has heard. Many of those phrases could be mathematical facts, but just because the parrot can recite the phrases, doesn't mean it understands their meaning, or that it could even count 3+3.
LLMs are the same. They're excellent at reciting known phrases, even combining popular phrases into novel ones, but even then the model lacks any understanding behind the words and sentences it produces.
If you give an LLM a task in which your objective is to receive factually correct information, you might as well be asking a parrot - the answer may well be factually correct, but it just as well might be a hallucination. In both cases the responsibility of fact checking falls 100% on your shoulders.
So even though LLMs aren't good for information retreival, they're exceptionally good at text generation. The ideal use-cases for LLMs thus lie in the domain of text generation, not information retreival or facts. If you recognize and understand this, you're all set to use ChatGPT effectively, because you know what kind of questions it's good for, and with what kind of questions they're absolutely useless.
