    Compared to what? All the comments seem to agree, but I curious if people here have actually used Grok. I rotate between major models frequently. Grok has been up there in accuracy…

    Rust on embedded is fun to play with. Few years ago I made a custom RGB LED rope light controller using ESP32 C3 DevKit and Rust embedded, connecting light to homeassistant via MQT…

    Perhaps related? My main fiber WAN went out few hrs ago, failing over to Starlink backup. Discovered it’s a cloudflare issue, as my multi-wan setup tests against 1.1.1.1, which sud…

    Steam machine so close to perfect, but 1x USBC and 1GB Ethernet are huge misses for a 2026 device. Also needs more VRAM. May be better to just do custom SFF build.

    Unsecured government loan to a successful company to fund acceleration and growth is a "handout". A "bailout" is what happened in 2009, in the sense the banks would literally have …

    I'm confused about language, as "loans" to me do not equal "bailout". The equating of the two seems odd, as many government incentives use loans that pay back with high interest, s…

    grok-code-fast-1 is my current pick, found accuracy and speed better than Sonnet 4.5 for day-to-day usage.

    I would expect AI to influence slang in future generations. Would be more surprising if it didn't.

    Wasn’t sure if a random TestFlight link would be safe/wise to share, so shared original source.

    FYI on X there is a TestFlight link to try it: https://x.com/jack/status/1941989435962212728 Surprised to see Jack pushing code himself. Love to see it.

    How can Tesla advertise a “more accurate” number if they are required by regulation to use EPA estimate? EPA range estimates being inaccurate is a real problem. They do not, and ar…

    Noticed this also. It doesn’t feel organic.

    You seem to be assuming that the full cost of the cluster is recouped by Grok 3. The real value will be in grok 5, 6, etc… xAI also announced a few days ago they are starting an in…

    Do all these commenters believe this nonsense? The conspiracy thinking has reached new peaks. Hard to take concerns of free speech seriously from people promoting platforms that ro…

    Did these digital modernization efforts result in lower agency head count, or did they instead use it as excuse to ask for higher budgets?

    Real modernization of systems would result in efficiencies that allow for reduction in staff. Tech exists to be a lever on productivity. This almost never happens; historically bur…

    This feels like hyperbole. Nobody is arguing to destroy the village, the federal government is not going to disappear due to 20% spending reduction. Reducing spending from ~$6T/yea…

    Calling it a cyberattack is hyperbole. Lost objectivity points from the outset.

    The split of opinion on this in tech circles is quite surprising. No agency would voluntarily modernize systems, which would inevitably reduce head count and put half of them out o…

    I violently recoil at comments like this. Elon is so effective as a leader he seems to break people’s brains. No other person could have started this company and had even half this…
