I think what’s lost here is when the framework project was launched, all the companies were moving to SoC designs and reliability was unknown. Replacing a stick of ram is still much cheaper than buying a whole new MacBook, but these systems

Good logging is critical and actually having the logs turned on in production. No point writing logs if you silence them. My company now has a log aggregator that scans the logs for errors, when it finds one, creates a Trello card, uses op

The biggest question for me is "Why?" They're getting slaughtered by the more focused Anthropic team who decided they will have the best coding model. Given how bad things have been going recently (5.2 chat bombing and being

For China there is no plan B for semiconductor manufacturing. Invading Taiwan would be a dice roll and the consequences would be severe. They will create their own SOTA semiconductor industry. Same goes for their military. The question is w

This is the canned response for advising against a shareholder proposal. We’re already doing x, no need to vote for this nitwits shareholder proposal. Another example that was written almost exactly the same, when a shareholder asked what C

I don’t think this was a 90s thing. I think it’s been a gradual progression to shorter, shallower attention spans. Contrast 2001 space odyssey to a 90s movie, it feels so slow. Then contrast a 2000s movie to a modern film and if you want to
