It wouldn’t surprise me if Meta does become the #1 American open weights provider, but I doubt it’ll be easy. Thinking Machines has a good amount of talent behind them as I underst…

I feel that more warning is needed for this book. Everything you’ve stated is true, but the book’s first chapter contains some of the most disturbing depictions of stuff I don’t kn…

This is somewhat similar to the situation here in LA where they service and very often drive through Westlake/MacArthur-Park which undoubtedly low income. I think it’s for practica…

My understanding is that they only operate in areas they’ve had approved and pre-mapped out for them though. Practically I don’t think the scenario you’ve described would ever happ…

You're right, I do have an ortholinear keyboard! I have an Inland MK-47 I bought on a whim from Microcenter, but it's been absolutely transformational. It did require a fair amount…

My bad, I did mean "ortholinear"!

I’ve had positive experiences with Keychron products in the past, but I’ve moved past them as I now prefer orthogonal layouts. That said, I loved their support of QMK on my Q1 Pro …

> Perhaps a league for retired stars would do well. Isn't that the role MLS plays for European soccer players? I'm not complaining, but many players who are no longer in their prim…

That one DS9 episode where there were two Weyouns at the same time is a good analogy for two agents working on a codebase at the same time (as in they don’t work well together).

Personally, I'd rather not have a company I work for police my social media and political activities just so that they fit with what the company desires. That would make me quit as…

I agree, but when it comes to the Pi defaults. I’ve spent a good deal of time (admittedly via vibe coding) writing extensions that completely alter the look/feel as well as functio…

I believe the post you were trying to link was this one: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/7/4/better-models-worse-tools/

As someone rocking a M3 Pro, I personally don't expect to be able to try Asahi out until mid/late next year on my MBP, but I am looking forward to it nonetheless!

Thinking back to my community college days in 2020 (right before the pandemic!), I used to rock a crappy old dual core laptop with 4GB of RAM running Fedora. Browsing the web was l…

Possibly, but the array type code was implemented using GPT/Claude models before DS4 was a thing. I really recommend this write up on how he used LLMs which I think is a more sane/…

What kind of company doesn’t want to pay $5 per month for a paid workers plan for their website?

As others here have mentioned, https://standardebooks.org/ is excellent and my understanding is that they use Gutenberg books as a source for theirs but done up much nicer.

You need both, but it's not exactly realistic to have metro lines everywhere. The west side is pretty dense and has a lot of commercial/business activity so the value per dollar is…

A worst case scenario I feel is that the government could restrict inference providers within the US to run only approved/American LLMs, which would be a huge deal since the only r…

I’m primarily a coding instructor but I also teach lessons based around Kerbal Space Program. From that angle I’m pretty happy where these devs are going with the sandbox and level…

Both are great shows made by GAINAX, but I highly watching suggest their prototypes as well: Gunbuster and Diebuster. All four are great Mecha shows made by the same studio and it'…

I love EVA, but I’ll cautiously recommend it. I feel like there are two sides to it: the mecha/alien/monster sci-fi side which has an amazing aesthetic, and the personal drama focu…

For my customers I use regexes to block them from potentially publishing personal emails/phone numbers to their websites but I really wouldn't mind running this in addition just fo…

I use the Throne bathrooms all the time here in LA. They’re really conveniently placed next to a bunch of Metro stops and are pretty frequently used. I’d actually argue that for bu…
