    Reminds me of a sub plot from Accelerando. Wasn't a huge fan of the book but it left an impression.

    I gave zed agent another shot today, and it couldn't run bash commands, so back to opencode I go.

    Yes it's slower, but it works. It's being built by one single dad who focused on compatibility before speed. I'm not convinced that tying the lifetimes into the type system is the …

    Fil-C is one of the most underrated projects I've ever seen. All this "rewrite it in rust for safety" just sounds stupid when you can compile your C program completely memory safe.…

    My wife has wanted a security system for a while. The turnkey cloud solutions freak me out. I've done some home automation with home aisstant before, and omg that was configuration…

    I do not understand how these companies can have such high valuations when minimax m2.7 is going to be open weight.

    I have a prompt to make it not rewrite, but just point out "hey you could rephrase this better." I still keep my tone, but the clanker can identify thoughts that are incomplete. St…

    He's describing the Cuda execition model. More interestingly, it's the same model as Intel's Implicit SPMD Program compiler (ispc, God that name is awful). But ispc works across SI…
