    That is normal on his blog. He is a brand that he has developed over many years, and he is constantly promoting that brand. Yes, he has done a lot of good work in the past, but he …

    The funny part is that the Tesla doesn't have a basic dumb cruise control. It only has "traffic-aware" cruise control which uses the cameras and doesn't use the new FSD code so it …

    This kind of work is really valuable and much needed. There is also often a surprising amount of friction to making contributions to open source projects. This article did a good j…

    Dataview can generate all of the data from Bases (and a whole lot more), but Bases is a lot easier to use as you can build queries in the GUI and the data comes out in nicely forma…

    The important thing to understand about why AVX512 is a big deal is not the width. AVX512 adds new instructions and new instruction encodings. They doubled the number of registers …

    I was pleased to read such positive contagious excitement and someone who can still see the wonder of the American west. And excitement of trying new experiences.

    On the website itself, "OS" "Included" and "Not Included" is strange. I don't see that I need "Not Included", unchecking "Included" should show you everything but instead it shows …
