@dcolascione Microsoft Powertoys handles the remapping of this key quite well. Just did that yesterday without a problem. That being said, the context menu takes ages to open in win11..
English

Lenovo has replaced the right control key on their otherwise-pretty-nice latest X1 Carbon (warranty replacement) with a copilot key. Fine. I won't begrudge some Microsoft PM "AI impact" in his self-review. But know what I do begrudge? The scancodes, plural.
See, the copilot key is defined to emit not only a new scancode (0x6e), understood as F23 key (which archeologists believed wasn't a real key, but a legendary signifier of excess), but also left shift and left meta (Windows key). When you type the copilot key, the PC firmware sends the machine left-shift-down left-meta-down f23-down f23-up left-meta-up left-shift-up.
That's a problem for remapping the copilot key back to right-control though. Even if we interpret 0x6e as right-control, we get a bunch of other modifiers we don't need along with, a press of copilot-r gets read as control-meta-shift-r, which is not what I want.
Why did they do this? I have no idea. 0x6e by itself would have sufficed to identify the new key. All the other neokeys that seemed like good ideas at the time got normal scancodes. F23 would have been fine. The scancode 0x6e is so uncommon Linux had to be patched to recognize it.
I'm determined to have a right control key, however, so now I run keyd to present a fake virtual keyboard to Wayland. Whenever it sees a left-shift-down or left-meta-down, it waits a few milliseconds to see whether an F23 has arrived. If it has, it synthesizes a right-control press. If it hasn't, it forwards the modifier presses.
Now there's a whole new stage in the input processing pipeline, and extra input latency, that exists solely because AI is so special that it demands not only a new key, but for that ceremonial key to be carried on a litter of modifier bits as it parades into the OS and commands that inference happen now.

@FiftyBucksVT They cannot be operated separately, and normally by software design the front wing is meant to open slightly before the rear to avoid temporary high front biased aero balance
English

An observation on the active aero: slight delay between rear wing and front wing activation, is that on purpose or are they controlled separately?

@wearetherace The article gives a lot of fascinating information, but what's with the writing this time? Grammatical errors, loads of missing quotes

Some questionable accounts use your work without crediting you. Just thought I'd let you know :)

Half-Life turns 25 this weekend, and we're pushing a big update to bring back some of that 1998 feeling with restored original launch day content, brand new multiplayer maps, a look behind the scenes with the original development team, and more: half-life.com/halflife25

@andreasgysin @verse_works That also means that German sockets are superior as they let you plug in two positions, while with french ones, since the pin is off center, you can only plug it one way
English

@andreasgysin @verse_works FYI, on the female side of things, EU has different (but compatible) sockets. Germany uses two prawns on either side of the female socket to ground the plug, while french sockets ground the whole thing through a central pin that sticks out (and goes into the plug you have here)

We have international collectors :)

@Tonio_Logique @aympontier En Allemagne entre brut et super net à ces niveaux de salaire on est sur du 45% de baisse, UK c'est plus 35% grosso modo. Après faudrait d'avantage ajuster au coût de la vie

@aympontier Si on regardait le superbrut, avec les cotisations “patronales”, on verrait peut-être un autre classement .

Selon une étude de Figures, les ingénieurs français en IA sont nettement moins payés que les allemands et britanniques : leur salaire médian brut est en moyenne 20 % inférieur. Pour les chercheurs en machine learning, l'écart est encore plus important.

@OutOfCycling That’s the outcome of disc breaks, not having quick release function on the wheels. Bike industry marketing has taken over TdF

@CalumDouglas1 Are those frequencies excited by the rotation speed of the impellers themselves or more by the air turbulence? I would assume something like 60k RPMs so 1000Hz which seems lower than the resonance frequencies mentioned in the document of your 2nd tweet
