In software we have an enshittification problem. In industrial design we have a generification problem.

ELI5, why not submit patches, why a blog?

Agreed, if anything an electrician was needed, not a professional PC builder. The picture shows two power supplies. Powering what is effectively one appliance from different circui…

I think you, the breadwinner, did NOT go to the shops. Your wife did. I don't know when 9-5 started, but it kinds of smacks of the British being that regimented. By contrast, my ob…

> The faster you fill whatever buffer, the faster you can let another client use the connection. Basically this. They way we usually put it is that we want clients to "get on and o…

But this is the point. What your neighbour's are doing greatly affects the performance of your network. If you have a good connection and are successfully able to transmit packets …

Yes, and before that MU-MIMO is also an improvement to the problem. Still only 1 transmitter at a time, but multiple receivers.

This is a common misconception.. you and your neighbour can configure the same channel, you cannot successfully transmit at the same time on the same channel within range. Nor can …

So that table is using distance as a proxy for signal to noise ratio. SNR is what really matters. Each data rate in the standard uses a different encoding technique. "Faster" encod…

Yes, that helps quiet a lot in practice because in most places there's limited "frequency-domain" capacity (i.e. free channels) but plenty of "time-domain" capacity, (i.e. free air…

I would agree with that. G to N was perhaps the most critical move in Wi-Fi because it included MIMO. You can think of this as unwanted signal echoes and reflections being switched…

An impressive attempt to summarise Wi-Fi which is a very deep topic. However I think the executive summary already missed the most critical thing about Wi-Fi: only 1 transmitter at…

What if I told you.. this was no different to every US company

So I think the current generation of models are arguably all about the same in terms of capability. However, the requirement for exponential growth I mentioned is all about the eco…

This is clearly a well-timed loss-leading strategic market share grab! Anthropic have blown a lot of user trust in the last couple of months.. But, overall, the current AI pricing …

Pretty interesting... raised more questions than it answered but I guess I have to RTFRFC for that.

thanks, that was super easy. I have been wanting to try CC with different models since Opus went downhill last month.. What limitations or issues have you noticed when using DeepSe…

Don't take it too seriously. It's essentially AI slop. The entire draft mentioned nothing of subnetting under the new addressing schema so I took it is essentially fraudulent on th…

I trust both Musk & Altman 100% to be themselves ..

Was it the inane repetition that gave it away?

Not true. _Idiots_ won't care if actors are AI or not. What a way to advertise you make films for idiots.

Read the first few paragraphs, it's completely unhinged. Once I actually grasped what "model welfare" was, I noped out.
