A major breakthrough in controller calibration has been achieved for Xbox hardware. >An unpatchable method now permanently writes custom joystick settings directly into the controller’s built-in memory. This means the fix cannot be blocked, removed, or changed by Microsoft or through future firmware updates. >Developed through collaboration between modyfikatorcasper, Lewy20041, and DriftGuard, the solution offers manual and automatic joystick calibration to permanently fix stick drift. >It also allows any joystick module to be replaced while maintaining factory-level accuracy and extending the controller’s lifespan. >The method works flawlessly on every Xbox controller model with no exceptions -Xbox 360 (all versions) -Xbox One Standard (1537/1697) -Xbox One S/X (1708) -Xbox Series S/X (1914) -Xbox Elite V1 (1698) -Xbox Elite V2/Core (1797) >The same DriftGuard tool also supports calibration for many other controllers, including all PS4 versions (JDM-010 to JDM-055), PS5 DualSense and Edge, Scuf controllers, Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, and Joy-Cons. >Calibration data is saved directly inside the controller, so the settings continue to work on any connected device.

Small experiment: I'm using my Pi coding sessions as calibration data for a new DeepSeek V4 Flash Q2 quant, via antirez's ds4 imatrix machinery. Absolutely no expectations, but I'm curious to see what happens. Not sure how to eval though.

Cala Health’s kIQ Plus now offers three stimulation modes and a calibration before each use, and it’s available across the US. #longevity# #CalaHealth# #kIQPlus# #stimulation# #digitalhealth#

Increasingly sophisticated vehicles are forcing repair shops to spend more on computers, software and calibration equipment — costs that mechanics say are reaching consumers.

Screenshots of the Philip Morris website. (reminder: they're a leading cigarette company) It's a good calibration point for how good modern marketing is at dressing up pretty much any corporate (or, for that matter, government) behavior and making it sound responsible and safe.

Certainty is a symptom of running a single model; calibration comes from an ensemble. Tetlock's forecasting tournaments found that hedgehogs (experts with one big theory who filter all evidence through it) predict worse than "foxes" who hold many small, partial models and aggregate them, despite (in fact because of) the hedgehog's greater confidence. That is precisely why ensemble methods beat single models in statistics. A random forest outperforms one deep decision tree, model-averaging beats any single estimator because averaging many independent, individually-mediocre views cancels their uncorrelated errors. The fox is an ensemble; the hedgehog is a single over-committed model; the felt experience of certainty is the sensation of having stopped averaging. You know your forecast is degrading at the exact moment it starts to feel clean. A borrowing rate is a forecast too. Each lending venue is a single model - one utilization curve, one governance regime, pricing its own local noise as if it were the cost of capital. Accept a fixed rate from any single venue and you've trusted a hedgehog: it feels clean, one number from one source, which is the tell. IRIS prices across venues at once. A solver's fixed rate isn't Aave's estimate or Morpho's but it's what remains once each venue's idiosyncratic noise cancels against the others: the systematic cost of capital, no longer padded for any single venue's local shocks. The ensemble, not the hedgehog. The rate that survived aggregation.
