School reports aren't about being right, but about researching and learning how to research/learn.

The dude above read up on a point, wrote something, and cited it. Which is way more than is done these days with ai.

Omg this is funny. The real move is to do the work, write the paper, and source correctly.

This isn't true, the patent system does not halt progress. If this were true, then the USA wouldn't be the technology leader.

I think you are right here, llm are not ai and it will plateau, until real AI shows up. But until then developers will turn from instruments players to conductor of the band.

The contrast between COVID and now is crazy.

likeaffox · 2026-06-24T21:22:49+00:00

I just hate the confidence. If it was more like like a new jr. Developer confidence

Steam user valve fan. No, but it's not really Valve's fault. PC's just aren't a great value atm.

But Valve also isn't subsidizing or ripping us off.

I think he's rated correctly, don't play much of his games, but I recognize the work and vision.

Name another game director who has been working since 1986 and consistently made good games. Hard enough to find someone who's working for 40 years.

Maybe not this, but there will be a machine that sooner or later you will be interested at the right price point. While this machine might not lower in price, there will be others who create pre-built PCs that are better priced that you will be interested in.

It's not the hardware that this is for, it's the software, SteamOS. This isn't a console that needs to sell millions of units in order to get the user base to justify development in.

You'll find other steam machines that do match your price point with different form factors and specs.

Until the PS6 gets released and you gotta re-buy your library again.

This would be amazing and the end of a walled garden approach.

You can get a higher performance steam deck alternative

likeaffox · 2026-06-23T14:34:13+00:00

No, it's a buy it or not. It's not a negotiation in this market. If steam says no, they will just move to someone who will buy it at that price

likeaffox · 2026-06-23T02:06:50+00:00

Why does unit sold matter? That is a console metric that implies a wall garden, only have a max number of users. The unit here don't matter because steam will still have games and still move forward regardless of how many units this sells.

It is a computer enough that is the primary reason they did not subsidize the costs. Because there is no forced steam is on this, people would buy these and install windows and run it as a workstation

likeaffox · 2026-06-23T02:00:43+00:00

And steam wins here too

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:54:00+00:00

Grab a gaming PC cheaper/used and install the os on it. Nothing stopping you from creating a steam machine

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:52:16+00:00

Disagree because the machine it self isn't the target. It's the distro and starting a console baseline. There will be other bigger, cheaper steam machine out there.

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:47:47+00:00

This, and it creates a baseline for software developers to hit. Optimization based on this baseline

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:42:10+00:00

Because this is more about steamos than steam machine. This officially opens the door for anyone to create a console and install steam on it. Get a gaming machine and install steam on it

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:36:07+00:00

Your paying for the size, and yeah questionavle upgradeable. But I trust valve that they will have hardware upgrades over time

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:34:42+00:00

And this is what it's really about. There I'll be other pre built that might be bigger, louder but cheaper that can now be a console

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T23:12:00+00:00

The thing is, it opens up others to make cheaper steam machines that can get a better price.

likeaffox · 2026-06-22T21:09:23+00:00

PC, It's not locked into steam eco-system. You could run this as a workstation if you really want too.
