It's not perfect, but Edge will let one take a simple full page screenshot with Ctrl+Shift+S. It results in a hefty PNG but at least it's a visual copy of everything which might suffice for a certain set of purposes (e.g. links wi

Unfortunately it's not super easy to get data out of Discord either. Last I checked, one needs to carefully setup a bot then script the bot to download messages to CSV, etc., but if you're not careful with the account and bot setu

It's a beautiful set, I like how each side was translated to smooth/rippled and the textures are very pleasing to look at - like a miniature playable cast of desert characters. I agree the pieces are a bit difficult to distinguish

I've had great success with quantized Phi-4 12B and Ollama so far. It's as fast as Llama 3.1 8B but the results have been (subjectively) higher quality. I copy/pasted some past requests into Phi-4 and found the answers were g

Excellent write up! I have an older ThinkPad 760E (1995) that these notes could be really helpful for, since the hardware is fairly similar. I had pretty good success with OpenBSD but haven't tried NetBSD yet. > The most viable play

Appreciate your rapid analysis of new models, Simon. Have any models you've tested performed well on the pelican SVG task?

I almost never get spam calls yet I started to receive them almost daily preceding and after the election. Fortunately iOS is great at filtering them. I'd just like a feature to not see them at all, they don't deserve a single mis

I've started to get spam via iMessage lately which I assume avoids most automated scrutiny that may apply to bulk SMS. Usually in the form of "your UPS/USPS package address needs to be verified" or something. My iMessage

> And yes I'm tempted, but adding an OpenBSD router is a sharper learning curve... If you decide to try OpenBSD I hope you will enjoy it! I personally find it easier to understand and configure than Linux, but I could be biased.

This is neat! It reminded me of this project by cheeaun that enables one to create a visual timeline based on a simple texted based format. The purpose was to plot one's life events in a visual way. https://github.com/c

I can think of a couple reasons: - Switches frequently offer PoE by default whereas routers (especially consumer or PC-grade stuff) would need a PoE adapter - Devices connected to the switch can communicate directly without the router, savi

Reminds me of the Monster 6502. Not quite what you're suggesting, but still a large discrete monster of a board. https://monster6502.com/ Instead of a hedge maze maybe we can have VR "walking through a 8086 or 808

Hi Ken! Your work is extremely interesting to me and I admire the effort your pour into these articles. It's been very cool to see your die analyses ramp up to more and more complex chips over the years. The Pentium is an especially ne

Very cool that this would be on the front page after I picked up a Pentium-75 from my local recycler today, it's an SX969. I can hold this chip in my hand and look up to see Ken's die shots. So cool! The ceramic package these Pent

Same here. I paid "full price" for my degree coming from a normal middle class family. Fortunately I was able to pay it all off a few years out of school with my first job.

I still like 80 columns even on modern hardware and displays. It encourages me to keep my lines tidy and to break long lines apart. Sometimes I go a little over, but it's a nice target to reach for.

I hope we can buy Cerebras cards one day. Imagine buying a ~$500 AI card for your desktop and having easy access to 70B+ models (the price is speculative/made up).

That's my understanding as well. It's a dedicated clock directly on the module to allow for faster and more reliable clock signals, versus drawing it from the motherboard where the signal could be generated very far away from the

It was nice to see PowerShell could change the interface metric when the adapter GUI refused due to the empty IP field. I bet that check has been there since the 90s. It makes me a little happy when a new CLI is able to do something the old
