Here's my notes on the device from last year with various setup tips https://muxup.com/2025q2/chuwi-minibook-x-n150 I can't say I agree with the author's assessment of the keyboard…

Beware the license. They misleadingly state on the blog post "Open-weight — Download, fine-tune, and deploy without restrictions". But if you read their license https://huggingface…

The situation is very confusing, but the tweet that went out with the announcement indicates it's not full 131k context yet and that is coming "soon" https://xcancel.com/CerebrasSy…

Note the announcement at the end, that they're moving away from the non-commercial only license used in some of their models in favour of Apache: We’re renewing our commitment to u…

I think this is a really interesting area. I wrote a command line took for web reading with some similar motivations. In my case, you queue up the articles to read the next day. ht…

If you're playing on the Steam Deck, mapping 'touch' on the left and right trackpads to the left and right bongo, and a touch on either joystick (they have capacitive touch) as a c…

Oh that's interesting, I wonder what's different about your SVG favicon vs mine.

I used this trick for a quick favicon on my site https://muxup.com/ - though unfortunately Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo doesn't like svg favicons and so it's not displayed in search resu…

I think they should probably set LoopMicroOpBufferSize to a non-zero value even if its not microarchitecturally accurate. This value is used in LLVM to control whether partial and …

I somehow hadn't come across this library, but have a whole blog post on the various ways people store data in pointers (and when+why it's safe) https://muxup.com/2023q4/storing-da…

Yes that's what I meant. Just an assumption I'd had, perhaps the joking about Emacs vs Vim preference in programmers made me assume the groups were of similar size.

One source of stats is the 2023 Annual Rust Survey. The question on text editors allowed multiple responses (so percentages naturally don't add up to 100%), but 5.5% of respondents…

(Article author here). I'm typically executing the same compile command from shell history (or via an alias) so missing off the `'; bell` isn't really a concern, but I agree that a…

On https://muxup.com/ you should see pastel-coloured randomly drawn 'roguh' highlights for the site title and for the titles of individual articles. If you mouse over, they'll be r…

Yes, redrawing on hover was a desired effect - sorry if you find it offputting.

Also see RoughNotation https://roughnotation.com/ >, which uses RoughJS to support underlines, highlights etc. I took some inspiration for my website (mouse over any highlighted ti…

Thanks for pointing that out - definitely a better choice for C++.

LLVM has a LoopIdiomRecognize pass which will, amongst other patterns, try to detect a loop implementing popcount [1] and convert it to the llvm.ctpop.* intrinsic [2]. I've not loo…

I've tweaked the wording - thanks again!

Article author here. Thanks for calling that out - the intent wasn't to make readers who might not have been aware feel bad. It really came from my worry about being seen to write …
