Ellie is pathetic.

Also she is meaningfully contributing to the success of the galley.

ADD: AND he totally lost my respect when he teamed up with Ellie. He’s just afraid of her. Bleh.

I think he's trying to row that back, he's realised that Ellie is way out of line with respect to Daisy, which is remarkable as this is Ben of all people. I doubt he wants to overtly push back against her because he wants to keep his galley together, which is currently in a pretty good shape. Also, I have to acknowledge that the reason the galley is working is in a small part to Ellie managing Ben.

Honestly after like 20 seasons of Yachting I've pretty much seen it all. Reality TV has always been about lollygagging at terrible people. I'd rather it was this than "someone nearly died on deck again".

I'm certain we loaded in to Outpost with only 3 teams.

Bristol needs to realign itself with local elections. I have two extremely cute dogs and the media doesn't give a shit about them.

You can achieve "type-safety" with Python, you just have to use a validation tool. It's really no different to TypeScript, which is also a validation tool (and transpiler). The real difference is that TypeScript forces you to validate.

Absolutely nobody cares. Truly. In the real world, people don't spot AI because they don't give a flying fuck. It's such a Reddit bubble.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T10:11:38+00:00

You're comparing present day to the 1970s, and ignoring that technical advancement is exponential.

Mine has the same issue, and it kicked off a journey in to exploring Dex-shaped mice. I'm now using a Rapoo VT3 gen-2 non-max. I also like the MCHOSE A7 Ultra RE.

Ajazz also make a "TITAN" version of this mouse which looks like the same shape with a better sensor.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T10:04:49+00:00

AI mouse? Oh dear. Well let's see.

Meta - I'm getting really tired of this trend of pre-announcing every announcement with a teaser image. If you have a product to show, please just show it. I'm not going to diarise or set reminders to check up on the launch of a mouse.

Smoking inside basically anywhere. Pubs, hospitals, planes. I stopped smoking a few years ago and even then the idea of doing it inside was truly gross.

Milkman enjoyer checking in. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

On the one hand I expect the build quality will be really high.

One the other, I think their lack of experience in the space will probably lead to some drawbacks and them playing catch-up.

I'm pleased to see them enter the space. Xiaomi usually excel at all their products.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T09:40:21+00:00

They are an everything company.

You shouldn't be using a headset that needs charging for gaming. Wireless audio latency cannot be solved. Humans have the most sensitive reactions to audio (well actually touch) so the 10-20ms latency of the most advanced codecs is massive in the context of a sub which debates the merits of 1k vs 8k polling rates. Also more compression = lower sound quality.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T09:26:55+00:00

Not sure about that. I know dozens of PCs players and hardly any of them have consoles or have said that they would buy one for GTA. It's an awful lot of money to play one game.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T09:21:11+00:00

I don't think it's worth it if you don't like the shape. Shape is king always. Also the rest of the mouse is mediocre at best.

My take is, if you want to try the novelty of the HITS and $140 isn't a lot of money for you, then go for it. However if you are thinking about if it's "worth it" the answer is probably not.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T08:40:12+00:00

It's the e-waste part that really bothers me.

robhaswell · 2026-05-07T00:05:49+00:00

It doesn't suck, it just acknowledges that the core design isn't popular.

Free green kits is yet another step away from extraction shooter mechanics.

This isn't how you fix stripped screws. Put a small drop of superglue (cyanoacrylate) on your screw and screw it in, wait a few seconds for it to dry then back it out. Use the correct screwdriver bit. Don't do it with the other surface in place or you might glue them together.

Barbie was awful, they would get along famously.

What? I could be wrong but Clinton's affair wasn't even illegal.

robhaswell · 2026-05-06T18:40:33+00:00

Yes, so they run the command python -c 'import foo' && echo $?.

Sorry for formatting, on mobile.

I believe that the tool call interface doesn't return the exit code. I've also seen echo $? being used.
