Elon why

@aral Elon wasn't the first to make this mistake either.

@exocomics That's a nice way of doing the art :) The shadow really sells it.

@killyourfm @kurohana Probably not comfortable. I'd still prefer it over the joystick when using (for example) Smash Bros. Ultimate's stage editor, though. It could find usage in these extra features maybe.

I've also since noticed that the bumper buttons head down the side more than usual, and that the trigger buttons are pretty large for a joy-con. I feel like my index and middle fingers could rest over the bumper and trigger buttons well, respectively.

Well -- well-placed enough for a joy-con as a mouse.
Also, note what appears to be an optical sensor in the Switch 2 joycons in that picture.

@killyourfm Very briefly, you can see what appears to be some sort of optical sensor in the Switch 2 joycons. I think yes! https://social.librem.one/@golemwire/113839209217650727

I think the #Switch2 joycons are going to have the ability to work as mice, maybe as a replacement for the touchscreen when the switch is docked.
Have it control an OS-level mouse cursor to emulate the touchscreen and adoption of this feature could be a breeze, and maybe even backwards-compatible with Switch 1 games!

#Nintendo

Design note: since the right joycon has its joystick lower than the left joycon's joystick, its buttons (ABXY) are well-placed for a mouse.

@arraybolt3 Wow, that sounds pretty powerful.

The #OpenAI #Sora video-generating AI is being really annoying. I'm literally uploading screenshots of Smash Bros. and it is telling me ThIs conTEnt Can'T bE SHoWn fOr NoW. wE'rE STill devELOping hOW wE EVAluATE WhiCH ConTent ConFLictS wiTh ouR PoLICies

@CM30 Pretty good.

@dmgedgoods Is that by Shel Silverstein?

Looks like Notch is going to start work on a "Minecraft 2" https://www.ign.com/articles/notch-says-he-basically-announced-minecraft-2

@w84death Looks interesting!
The rightmost railroad looks pretty interesting ;)

@christopher Ah, my man, you've seen nothing.

Don't worry, the worlds are OK.

Note: the data I got was from 2022. I had said 2025. (Can't edit posts.)

Screenshot from the PDF.

It appears that #E4M3 (the one without multiple NaNs etc.) has less range, and less precision near 0, but smaller steps between numbers on average.
E4M3 also has NaN, just one type of NaN (nice).
I'm not thinking about #deepLearning here in particular, but I think I prefer E4M3 personally (for what it's worth).

Interesting development. Never thought float8's could have any use, and here we are in 2025 with the potential use of them.
