9P is in the kernel and provides a simple, fast networked VFS without many of the drawbacks of NFS. In particular, 9P-over-virtio is already used in Linux virtualization environments to expose parts of the host file systems to the guest. Si

After Bioshock Infinite came out, I imagined how cool it would be to have a shogunate-era Japanese version of it called "Floating World Edo", rendered in the style of ukiyo-e prints (which term means "pictures of the floati

After several months with their top engineers and state-of-the-art AI on the job, Anthropic managed to "reduce flickering by 85%" on their TUI Claude Code client, which is built in fucking React and rendered by drawing the enti

The concept is super cute, and it'd be nice if there were content actually on the cards. But it's 2026 and the rightsholders would never actually allow that. As soon as Yoto's servers go dark, there goes any content not alrea

Well it beats asking for Amanda Hugankiss. That's really cool. Recently I had the fantasy of setting up a PBX here in the house and bringing back "dial up internet" for me and my wife, as a doomscrolling mitigation measure. P

The value of human understanding just cratered because we have machines to understand for us now.

It's obvious what his plan was: blow up key people until the dark future was averted.

The idea is that AI companies expropriated our labor to train their sloppotrons first. But given that this is Bernie, it's probably a stalking horse for future expropriations from other industries later.

Few years back I was complaining to a coworker: "I just love opening Teams and watching it draw its subwindows in one by one, like a Windows 1.0 app on an 8086." First flat design, now sluggish window redraws... Windows is getting

As far as I know right now, the first, but there's significant overlap. The suckless folks, for instance, have documented fash tendencies. The fact that SonicDE's stated mission is to preserve X11 support is itself a warning sign.

Well, there's SonicDE, but like many such projects it's probably maintained by reactionaries which introduces its own suite of issues around security, code quality, and "will this be maintained in a year, 5 years?"

Successfully ran Gemma4-26B-A4B on my 8yo first-gen Ryzen with a GeForce GTX 1070. It actually ran acceptably well; I was surprised. I even did some coding with it, but the wheels fell abruptly off when it tried several times to use a const

It looked like a mere word processor, but—much like Emacs, especially org-mode—the Canon Cat was actually contextually aware of what the text meant, and allowed other operations to be performed on it as appropriate. For example, if you star
