I run Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on my 8GB VRAM GPU for 3 weeks now and its been blowing my mind how good it is (coded multiple tools that I use daily, setup CI/build scripts for several projects, meaningfully contributed to a large personal proj

I hung on to hg all the way until bitbucket forced migration to git. I still dislike git, but I dislike perforce much more. I guess I just wanted to say I hate perforce lol

Accelerando has prophecies that are coming true and it's scary. Spoiler warning in case you want to read it. The first part's main character basically has the future version of openclaw running in his glasses that let him dispatch

Me three. I thought it was an attempt at humor, but I got to the end and didn't find a punchline? I learned Windows programming from his book, I'm sort of shocked he doesn't seem to have a base-level understanding of how tran

I thought about doing this for a while, I was a Flash gamedev as an indie then professionally. Back then, once Flash projects start to scale up to get more commercial/competitive, the flash editor is no longer as useful for development

I'm spending some time in a developing country ripped into shreds by constant facebook vectorized fabricated news that all people here believe without ever questioning the source or doing the minimum effort necessary to make sure this

I recently did a higher education contract for one semester in a highly coding focused course. I have a few years of teaching experience pre-LLMs so I could evaluate the impact internally, my conclusion is that academic education as we know

A long time ago when I was in University, I was a volunteer in the Ubuntu group. In addition to evangelizing Linux/OSS, We were trying to convince our University to switch to opensource software for at least some engineering education

IMO things never go back to what they used to be, but they will certainly never stop changing. I do not for a second believe that the doom-scrolling brain-rot phase will not pass. It will pass like the many before it, the important question

I feel the same. I was in Kuwait city a few days ago and decided to learn their public transport system which is buses only but was pretty extensive and abundant with good google maps integration. When you get on the bus there's a big

As an indie game developer the idiots who made this decision do not represent us and are completely detached from actual game production over the last 3 years. For those who might care, we use generative AI as much as possible in every way

I share an opinion with Nick Bostrom, once a civilization disrupting idea (like LLMs) is pulled out of the bag, there is no putting it back. People in isolation will recreate it simply because it's now possible. All we can do is adapt.

What a lunatic loop this is. AI takes human jobs, then AI injects ads hoping humans with jobs can make it money. Amazing equation slow-clap

This is a very confusing blog post. I found myself looking for ChatGPT markers because it doesn't make sense to say: omg zig is so much cooler than C here's why, then start listing the absolute basics of the language that are iden

I didn't know what this referred to but reading some of the examples in the paper.. oh man I hate this thing with a passion. It's not just Persians but Arabs in the gulf culture too that apply this to every scenario, it's the

Ha ha very funny from no-evil-google. The worst most misbehaving apps I've ever had the misfortune of using came from their app store. The best apps I use regularly are from F-Droid, github and ones I baked myself. You take that away a

100% agree. Mini PCs in my opinion are the only modern PCs designed to stay on for decades. Sort of like those old server towers with SCSI drives that still run many legacy online things to this day. I bought my forever box on impulse, it w

From the perspective of someone who just moved from a developed to a developing city, please don't get a dog out of giving up. Have/adopt a child instead. Dogs/cats are indirectly being used to hack out the desire to parent o

I have the boox nova 3 color that I bought on impulse and immediately thought I should return but ended up liking it and a big part of that was how good the PDF reader was and the fact its stylus is not powered yet works perfectly. The colo

I have more than 10 controllers spanning most gaming systems, the only one that consistently runs out while playing is the ps5 one. They could have added a few more 100mAs to make it tolerable :(

Never played EVE, but in X2 The Threat, the internal scripting system was exposed to the player in the game ui to allow scripting anything in the game you want. I ended up writing elaborate trading and defense procedures to manage my 100+ f

Before Mars is a viable colonization destination, we need to build a good size habitat that's fully or almost fully self-dependent in one of our many oceans that make up most of this planet. If the purpose really is to attempt to escap

My theory: if someone in academia claims X is impossible, X is now much more likely to occur sooner than expected.

On paper, I'm younger than most of these but I've lived in a closed-in country under an authoritarian regime that actively blocked technology from getting in as it saw free information as a threat to its survival. When I used the

So if I was a dominating business, and you're an opensource more ethical solution, all I need to do is make a generous donation to you and publicize that I did, then people like you will say what you just said in every public comparati

I just don't get this, it's ai not a search engine, unless we deliberately bait it, it won't spit out verbatim code snippets. I'd also use all public code in github if I wanted to train a similar tool. Furthermore, tabni

Cool thing about VR is when you move your head the position of the speaker stays exactly where it is in relative space thanks to motion tracking which lets you essentially turn towards people you wanna listen/talk to. At some point we
