Hugging Face straight up asked for $100M in compute or something from OpenAI in response to the hack, if I remember correctly.

Snow Leopard _did_ focus on stability. It wasn't just marketing. Did new bugs (and even new features) slip in? Yes, of course. It's still an OS made by humans, making imperfect cos…

Those who know game dev know making good isometric maps can be deceptively difficult. You grabbed that bull by the horns and did so beautifully. Well done!

Nah, I was just listening to some Thievery Corporation and had some thoughts. You ever listen to the group? Brought me back to college days.

Until the industry addresses the Original Sin of Generative AI (and the ascendance of Thievery Corporations), we should expect more and more of this. So far, theft has been rewarde…

Yeah, don’t do that.

It's time for this bubble to pop already. We need to get past this centralized, unsustainable, undesirable, Big Brother stage of AI and get on to the "AI hosted in your kitchen" ph…

Superintelligence for me and not for thee.

What happened to the early wave of IP lawsuits against the first wave of model makers? Did anything stick/make a difference? Did _any_ frontier model company retroactively-migrate …

For as long as I've known of Gabe from working in the game industry, I somehow always forget about his not-so-little hobby of being a sea-faring cyber pirate.

That's a great opportunity for Apple to provide a universal unique model ID protocol and some shared storage space to allow devs to register models.

I feel like maybe we've needed an "OceanX" before a "SpaceX".

Hopefully Mythos didn't go rogue and hold production hostage.

If this can happen to Anthropic, imagine all the companies building on top of Claude Code for live products. Hopefully the industry is learning that competent problem solving human…

Working on Snow Leopard was one of my most rewarding experiences at Apple. Loved the ethos behind that update. No new fluff, just make everything work better.

How does this handle “dumb zone” evasion while looping?

Definitely sounded like a shower gel moment.

Haven’t heard of Codeberg. What are the top reasons to switch from GitHub?

Was hoping to see Apple break the 128GB barrier in a laptop that they previously set, though 128GB is still pretty sweet for local LLM inference on consumer hardware. My 128GB M3 M…

I feel heard. Auto-correct un-correcting what I corrected three times in a row is maddening.

What if their maximally vindictive traits just makes them want to use the same invasive tools and techniques?

No way. Next level.

Awesome stuff. Moonlight and Archipelago are particularly beautiful. I work in shaders fairly regularly (mainly Metal-based), and it still amazes me how so little code can produce …

Looks super interesting! Does it have support for auction mechanics (e.g. dutch auction)?
