The people running the government literally do not care. They only care about evading responsibility for decades of crimes by smashing all accountability mechanisms, disabling all …

It's actually refreshing when a model is sure about something because it actually tested it and has the receipts. Opus 5 seems really good about testing its own knowledge with expe…

The fact that Claude knows I wrote the Virgil compiler makes it be on its best behavior when working on it. I force it to not write too much code, and to write more tests. I push b…

Google's problem is that, fundamentally, they hate end users. They do not want to hear feedback from them, they don't want to fix their bugs. They don't want to hear your thoughts …

Why anyone trusts any streaming music service is absolutely beyond me. It will always get enshittified. I have 65GiB of mp3s I've accumulated from ripping CDs over the years and it…

Google has never been good at supporting developers, and it absolutely loathes end users. Support for everything that is not their ad ecosystem is miserable. There's never any long…

It's amazing 3D going on, and then 80% of the visual space is popups that completely block it. It'd be have a nice prominent ways of reducing the noise, and that pops were partiall…

I think that is pretty ungenerous. Before ARM, ISAs were not a commodity, and there were only closed, proprietary implementations of them (usually from a single vendor). Arm licens…

The wild thing is that this SoC is a heterogenous compute device. It has three different kinds of cores: a pretty beefy arm64 core and two different RISC-V cores: a 1Ghz one for ru…

It's crazy what $5 can buy you in a microcontroller these days. Have a look at these Milk-V boards: https://milkv.io The duo has up to 256MB of memory, and a 1TOPS@INT8 TPU. They r…

I think over-complicated and over-engineered are not the same thing. Over-complicated is adding too many features, too much mechanism, too many moving parts. Over-engineering is fa…
