Beautiful and warmth-filled tribute to Elise . Gorgeous piece of writing reflecting his sense of joy, love and loss. A life well lived.

All this ranting about COBOL. Makes me fairly sure AI hasn't tackled RPG3 yet :-D

This is brilliant.

Can Dang implement a slop rating on submitted pages? Not a block but at least a % likelihood of AI slop content and that could also be tied with a BS rating as well. Could use AI f…

Amazing and eye opening list of discoveries made by folk in the realm of modern day China. I was clued on to this by my 6yo getting homework question about "how is he inspired by L…

Reminds me a lot of my old Nokia 525 with windows. Great form factor for running and hiking. If this one got GPS I would buy it. But it's up against excellent full function phones …

I really like the thinking of openness behind this device. Could be great as a pocketable "notice board" getting info on a schedule from mobile and "posting" to a pub on device for…

Great for kids to get started. Saves to SD so you don't fill your mobile storage with 12,000 beach photos from last holiday. Cheaper to lose/replace than ifone. I still have a LUMI…

Mojo not good enough?

So now the speculation can start as to which company they will acquire first.

100% agree with this. The whole "influencer" industry (let's be honest it's about manipulating you) is peak enshitification. I quit twitter cos it became a cesspool. IG needs aggre…

We could remove 100% of world AI supply and humanity would not be worse off. It is still additive and in areas of generally indeterminate value except in hype. Reasoning and RAG is…

Love it !

Straight out of China playbook. Every SIM must be registered with government issued/recognised ID. Yes combats fraud. Yes means govt can track you thru IMEI 24x7 anywhere in the wo…

This is gorgeous. Makes me feel like I'm picking up an old news sheet. Forces me to read slowly from which I then enjoy the reading much more it's like difference of drinking a fin…

Agree. Should be legally required for all web hosted pictures to be AI poisoned except with explicit verifiable opt out. Same for text. Needs some institution with many geek suppor…

Retirement is an artificial modern construct to create jobs. People are supposed to be active until they die. Hobbies are just a replacement activity. I have no intention of retiri…

The issue is chip production in Korea and possibly Taiwan. And that's where vast amounts of US chip inventory comes from. How to buildout AI capacity if can't source memory chips? …

FWIW my Dad taught me how to type at 4yo on a huge Imperial typewriter. My spelling took an enormous leap in capability in a few weeks. Primary school teachers were amazed at the w…

When I did tertiary studies in programming there wasn't AI but we did our programming exams in pencil and paper. The "beneficial" prep we had and I had since high school was using …

I'm waiting for the man to make a laptop case out of concrete. That will be truly brutalist!

That's the one I've been using for a while. Nice to have something so clean in this age of slop.

Brilliant in every possible way. Fortran was first language I learnt at high school in its "PORTRAN" variant.

As Someone who has spent decades working with teams around the world with varying levels of English from native to none, these are good guidelines. I would add to try and talk usin…
