The first thing I thought was: this might make Tesla's cameras also not see your funky-patterned Yaris on the road as a car. Might want to test that first!

An electric ute? I'm interested. Seems like a good move!

Just like everything else: to flood the channel

The current environment comes to mind

I second this. Anyone considering running their own hardware would also consider quantization since they would have full control over what quant to run. The value proposition chang…

Hmm. Pennywise operated on a 27 year cycle. Maybe Cthulhu does the same, but at 1MM the scale.

Eggs don't lay eggs

Very informative article. I was hazy on where NVLink sat in the local inference stack. This makes it very clear: to adapt consumer hardware that lacks multiple full x16 PCIe lanes.…

Those were the days

I switched to Codex in November 2025 because I couldn't stand the smarmy, "You're absolutely right" anymore. Codex at the time offered less sycophancy and more pushback when I was …

I used this a decade ago, and it was a joy to use for someone who grew up with Macromedia/Adobe Flash scripting. In 2026, I would have thought that regular HTML/CSS would have caug…

Crummy blog crashed my browser tab with all the nonsense it loaded

Love it! My first website was on Angelfire, and I am still at it 30 years later. It made an impression on me. But I can't think of a good play on words for Angelfire either

Gosh, why does this sound familiar to me?

His articles blow me away. Like the one where he plumbed a pair of Grace-Hopper superchips with liquid cooling for a home rig.

Very true. I would think you could say the same about xAI too, with their pivot. They don't have experience in this sphere directly.

I think boffin is a Britishism. I have heard it other places, not just on El Reg. Specifically: a lot on Top Gear when it was hosted by Clarkson.

First taste is always free! But when the 10 billionth taste continues to be free, you have to start to wonder about your dealer.

More or less our approach here too. They offered to help with our work at a loss for themselves, why not take them up on it? Not necessarily to hurt the AI labs, but just because w…

Correct. They theoretically updated the open weight version to the capabilities of the latest closed weight one.

Makes sense if they are planning to concede in Ukraine. The Russian economy is dependent on continued military buildup, so they will try to continue with that but go back to their …

The problem of the hype-train starting to cool is the only real problem it solved or will ever solve

Does this mean that work created with it can be copyrighted? Since the courts ruled that the inclusion of pilfered IP was the reason other model's work cannot be copyrighted, I wou…

Their board of directors are literally wanted by the US for crimes. What do people expect from such a company? I shake my head any time I see a VW.
