These lucky Texans get to enjoy all this AI data center natural gas powerplant pollution.

Of course, that same "phone" processor gets to operate with battery and thermal headroom of a laptop in the Macbook Neo. The bigger trade-offs are due to the device the chip operat…

Agreed, losing the headphone jack on something the size of a phone was already questionable space saving for a bigger battery. But on something the size of a laptop, it is a joke. …

It's been flagged now. Upset too many Elon bots and fanboys.

Hard to call them "irrelevant details" when they are facts, and that this data center is specifically used to run this AI for anti-semitic, pro-Hitler, and CSAM content. It would b…

Fair enough. Maybe not that far, but perhaps do a little one thing with these NAND gates they theorized? My issue may even be more with the HN title than the blog post, because the…

I guess I view 75% compatibility of the most oddball console architecture ever to be fairly successful. And it is still meaningfully gaining. It was 70% at the start of the year.

Cool that you can make a NAND gate like this, but I was more hoping for something that showed how to practically (ab)use a video encoder for "great computational power" to do somet…

RPCS3 has come a long way in the last few of years, both in performance and compatibility. Even Metal Gear Solid 4 is supposed to be playable (albeit using game patches) now. And e…

For games that require online services, this will always be an inherent issue. But for games that don't, I'm betting on emulation continuing to save the day. When the PS3 was relea…

Merged 6 months ago. This hardly seems newsworthy, even if it was at the time it was being merged. `enshittification` being thrown around for a single console line on a piece of so…

I've been running a 1.1km 5Ghz 802.11ac wifi link between two highly directional antennas for three years now. They have line-of-sight, albeit just barely. The kit I got cost $100 …

Distillation. It isn’t just Chinese models doing that to OpenAI and Anthropic.

This seems like desperate headline attention seeking. "Oh... you saw OpenAI accidentally hacked a company? Well, we did it too! In fact, we did it 3 different times! #winning"

In practice, how have you used this? Are there scenarios where you need to be deploying .NET but want the ergonomics to be more like Python?

I think this looks like a great idea for the kind of automation people often use GPIOs for. I wonder what the complexity would be to make gpiozero that is compatible with Pi Pico 2…

That is pretty interesting. It compiles to the CLR?

This is pretty cool! It had never crossed my mind that everyone else is doing the same two tab thing that I'm doing.

Agreed. My current electric cooktop boils water faster than any gas cooktop I've ever had, and it isn't even induction. It produces so much less excess heat into the kitchen too. Y…

I've found that there is value in consuming AI services from your existing cloud provider. Customers and auditors have less of an issue with "we use AI services from AWS/Azure/GCP"…

This is definitely giving of vibes like what Deno/Bun are to Nodejs, Nobie is to Excel. I wish there was a Windows version. Hopefully, this gives the Excel team reason to compete a…

Maybe I'm just too risk adverse to run with scissors with Grok? I can't imagine ever trusting their harness. I'll just add this to the list of things an AI company could do to guar…

Yes. There are no launchers for games that need to be updated. Everything just automatically gets updated constantly. The biggest value prop for me with console gaming is that it j…

But the GTA V that people play today is not the version from 13 years ago for PS3 and Xbox 360. We are on the third-generation of GTA V with the enhanced edition that only came out…
