Software in a closed ecosystem should run for the life of that ecosystem, an example would be Firmware on a non-connected device. eg the ECU in my car from 1991.

>lower costs, and therefore lower quality, Many high-quality open-source designs suggest this is a false premise, and as a developer who writes high-quality and reliable software for much much lower rates than most, cost should not be se

Click-bait titles like "All the best programmers know this..", "Breakthrough might make fusion a reality.." or any other type of title that does not give a hint of what the actual thing is are immediately discarded by me

The main issue is they often try to write code using dated/unsupported packages, but simply asking them not to use any out of date components or units will give you a baseline to do most things or from first principles. Gemini 2.5 was

I stopped using the Lazarus documentation a year ago when the AI prompts (which seem to be trained on the actual documentation) became easier and faster to use. Also AI also seems to get above average results with pascal code generation IMH

Because with a blog I have time to think and edit and have full control of the page if I ever change my position which, without the whole picture, I sometimes do. Where as if I post a reply it is often a gut reaction that later I sometimes

Totally agree. As I have got older I found that it is important for me to spend more time on writing blog posts and real books rather than just throw away, sometimes un-thought-out, comments on random web sites. (yes I see the irony here!)

Let me be first to say thanks to the development team. The New docked IDE looks pretty awesome.

Yet if you deliver a system without a modern bloated framework or a massive cloud stack and you are "old fashioned" and "out of touch" - been there done that, got the tee-shirt.

I like hiding little easter eggs in my novels, I added a sneaky reference to Professor Wirth and Oberon in my last novel only one person I know got the reference.

Hi Craig, I note you are also a Sci-Fi author and have a book called "ageless" which has a short interesting blurb, but no links to a reseller. It might be in draft, but if not you should probably include a link to it on your blog

Well all I can say is I did exactly that and produced an optimistic 370,000 word Sci-fi series which was totally utopian, and tried to be realistic and scientific (at least up to the point that any Sci-Fi novel could be) - https:/&#x2

It is all about accuracy for me, as a reader, reading a book needs you to be able to forget about everything and be immersed in the world and the characters you are reading about, a simple mistake like the wrong name being used, a date bein

You are really only correct in your last point as the advantage of RISC-V is to the company implementing their own core, not to the end user. The reason is that CPU cores only form a tiny part of the SOC, the rest of the SOC is proprietary

New Glen is their orbital rocket but it is not ready yet. Hopefully it will be ready for some of the launches, but it must hurt owning a rocket company and having to use another companies to launch your satellites. From the project web page

A short post which underlines an important philosophical topic, one that most of us have been thinking in the back of our minds. What questions will we ask of our Artificial Super Intelligence?

I guess it kind of works, but why would you? I find it quite therapeutic designing PCCB's. My last try at getting AI to draw a circuit diagram was actually quite hilarious: https://rodyne.com/?attachment_id=1753

I kind of like it, but re-use is the way to go, Problem is you get Tax credits for buying new EV but just a shit tonne of regulations and no money to convert your old truck; that was New Zealand five years ago. I really hope other countries

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the video interview. I only watched the first 60 seconds and this is the first time I have seen or heard the author, but if I hadn't been told this was AI generated I would have assumed it was genuin

Cant access the text but "sounds" very advanced for 1970. Gemini 2.5 did not give me anything much about it so a little perplexed about its relevance.

It feels like all the AI companies are pulling the versions out of their arse at the moment, I think they should work backwards and work to AGI 1.0 So my guess currently is that most are lingering at about 0.3

I'm not quite AGI, but I work quite adequately with a much, much smaller memory. Maybe AGI just needs to know how to use other computers and work with storage a bit better.
