Nah they'd rather try to continue to force snapdragon on windows where no one actually cares about this and the experience is trash. AArch64 is dead for Windows and client Linux, a…

Ah yes, the qualcomm way. Rather than upstreaming things so it just works make a Qualcomm Linux, perhaps with NDA and laywer speak to sign off on to get access to anything at all, …

Sitting in a modern pickup is worse than a school bus for visibility. You cannot see in front of the truck at all. Real blue collar work seems to mostly have moved to work vans lik…

I’m moving all my machines to NixOS. I’d done this before but ran into time constraints creating ports for convoluted binary software. With LLMs now as good as they are it’s quite …

Wild. A great book by Clive had this exact sort of scenario where an AI so powerful it could break into any system. In typical Cussler fashion there was some Indiana Jones/Laura Cr…

How do you measure the performance of people? This is subjective and biased every time.

There is no inherit in Rust. If you choose to try and do OOP horror Rust makes this fairly painful

Isn’t this effectively a mediocre MediaTek SoC glued with an over priced GPU with an OS that’s barely usable and I guess the ask is $5k? What a deal!

C++ the good parts is essentially C. If C had the concept of traits and generics or something like them like Rust there’d be no need for C++ and its ideas of mediocre inheritance a…

Xilinx has often thought of the software as the special sauce that sets them apart it seems like. At this point its a net negative. Nothing like a massive bloated Vivado that now r…

Why would customers trust a company that does rug pull penny pinching moves like this? Tells me a lot.

radicle is awesome and Just Works from what I've tried of it

Funny, I need an LLM to figure out what most people consider "readable" python as its highly unreadable to me. The lack of types, top to bottom flow, and more tends to make it all …

I asked claude if it thought openclaw was better. It said it didn't know what openclaw was.

I mean best of luck policing this is all I'm going to say. We will soon be back to the "core contributors only" kind of policy in many projects I imagine to avoid the slop spam. Th…

I'm not sure how you could really take a stance on this. If someone used the tool to expedite work its unlikely you'd ever know it. If you use the tool to yeah, go one shot a ton o…

radicle.xyz also does the distributed/seeded forge setup and I think does a nice job of it already.

I wonder if radicle.xyz will start taking off, as there is no corporate entity hanging over its head, and never likely will be.

GitHub lost its way right around the time it was bought by a large corporate entity. Had they remained independent I have no doubt it'd be a very different story.

It all runs better with Linux, Linux isn’t wasting cycles spying on me.

NixOS can be all of these things given a nix expression to make it so

The thing here is I doubt many people care that it’s a little slower. The price point makes it an excellent computer without a decent operating system. The alternative is a crappy …

Exactly this. I love Apple tells you it’s a big Trojan in effect that can do anything. Yeah no thanks.

Oh yeah no... its still terrible even without all the spyware. First experience of Windows 11, trying to download a file through firefox caused my 18 core 10980xe to have the entir…

Funnily it probably runs Windows better than the typical corporate spyware burdened x86 laptop.
