Damn 15 AK47 bullets per token

I was not trying to make that kind of argument, but rather a geopolitical one. Retaining world-class talent and home-growing industries is no small feat. In Europe, we have been st…

My conspiracy theory is that this is the new space race, and the CCP encourages this to show the world what Chinese engineers are capable of, and tank the Anthropic/OpenAI valuatio…

There is really no good reason to ever use I2C, except if that's the only interface your peripheral supports. Debugging a stuck I2C bus, and attempting to un-brick the bus for a st…

> I can think of the tedious task of finding certain functionality within a codebase. I usually can't beat an AI agent harness at this task today. Yup, I remember "racing" the AIs …

I also got an email from Anthropic: "We're updating our Privacy Policy". The cynic in me knew in which direction the ratchet is going, but this blew my mind: > As part of our measu…

Same here, I expected an "openclaw powered google glass", leading to a "Black Mirror"-esque world full of glassholes regurgitating LLM output at each other.

Beautiful illustrations!

Interesting, do you have any examples of the latter two categories? Looking for a replacement for my Cherry-Keyboard.

Are you using an external provider for image generation or running something locally?

In Europe, this is mandated by law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall

I recently installed NetBSD on a Thinkpad T430s, it is surprisingly snappy and usable, except when firefox is running. With i3wm, tmux and helix with clangd it is a capable develop…

cnlohr is in his own league, this guy is bordering on genius. Dissatisfied with the state of the vendor SDK for CH32V003 microcontrollers (ultra-cheap RISC-V MCUs), he created his …

It's an interesting question, but only looking at energy expenditure probably does not cut it. I hike a lot and started running races in alpine territory (e.g. this one [1]) about …

I agree, but I have seen an implementation of a middle ground (Scaled Agile for Enterprises, SAFE) that combined the worst of both worlds, with quarterly, one-week, all-hands-on-de…

> There was no incentive to carefully consider where to place a sticker. Players didn’t have enough agency to advance the plot through their individual action. This limited creativ…

STM64 subsystem for STM32

If I understand it correctly, ~20MWh is for the full size model at 700m depth and with a radius of 15m (prototype radius is 1.5m and it is located at a depth of 100m). And building…

My thoughts exactly. It makes the engineer in me go mad if I see projects like Energy Vault [1] getting massive funding that could be used to try and develop technologies that make…

For anyone interested in the structure of the software that ran Ingenuity (and some hardware design aspects, such as the use of commercial off-the-shelve parts), there is an awesom…

There was also Wurmz!, a networked multiplayer version of Liero. Some history and binaries of various version as well as the source code can be found on this website [1]. [1] https…
