It's not even anything new, it's basically the mobile version of the DGX Spark. The two chips (N1X/GB10) are pretty similar in terms of architecture and specs. I don't get why this seems to be getting so much attention n

I admit, I barely understand what the product does, much less how there's 50k people wanting this. This is a component you can use if you're building a DIY keyboard and want to make it wireless? Seems profoundly niche to me. Am I

Then we should take your word over mine. My assumption was that those A/B tests will lead to products that do increase the numbers they were measuring (retention, conversion,...) at the expense of enshittified UX (up to the point of th

I would assume that they've A/B-tested any such important change extensively and basically know that it won't affect their numbers for the worse.

I agree with the author's general sentiment, but I would give Omarchy credit for some design features that I find either really innovative or well executed. I find the launch menu the most interesting I've seen out of any desktop

Some suggestions: - Not sure what they're called, but I've seen a lot of fully automated outdoor "locker stations" for packet deliveries - Power bank "banks" or charging stations for smartphones in indoor space

Regarding the first, parallel requests to the same loaded model seem to work pretty well, I'm trying to find time to look more into it myself, but this may be something that might already be within reach for local models.

One could hardly ask for a task better suited for LLMs than producing math in Lean. Running a restaurant is so much fuzzier, from the definition of what it even means to the relation of inputs to outputs and evaluating success.

If we were to start from security first, we would be asking questions like 'how can we make sure that new code is safe?'. Manual review is great, but we can likely think of some desirable invariants for program behavior that could

Thanks for building what I'd hoped to find the time to build (and much better than what I would have made)! One question: do you think there is room for parallelization here, eg in the retry loop? Local models generally can handle a li

Linux itself, major Linux distros, npm - none of these were designed with a security-first approach. Even the things that do help with security, like package maintenance or containerization, were more incidental to other primary goals like

After the npm supply chain attacks people suggested automating delays before installing updates, now we're talking about automating update delivery... I'm afraid there won't be any easy or quick fix after decades of treating

I felt a bit similar about electric cars with a trunk in the front where the engine would sit in an ICE car. But that's more about esthetic expectations, like the first cars looked similar to horse carriages.

Great idea! I was really baffled when I found out that that's not how agents, or also Chat-based IDEs like Cursor, work by default (guess how).

Yeah, the DGX Spark could qualify as a mini PC too. The AMD chip is sold as a laptop chip I believe, but I've mostly seen it in mini PCs. And the Framework Desktop. A brand that probably carries a lot of trust among the kind of tinkere

It's a condensed statement. There was a time when I would start a new programming project thinking about class hierarchies, maybe drawing some UML diagrams. I don't do that anymore, and I don't believe it's very common f

I don't have an answer what the alternative is going to look like. But smarter people than me may find something. C/C++ are doing fine without package managers. Go at least has a more capable standard library than Rust. But I&#x27

My pet theory is that package managers will one day be seen like we see object-oriented programming today. As something that was once popular but that we've since grown out of. It's also a design flaw that I see in cargo/Rust

Well, the two chips I mentioned (DGX Spark uses the GB-10) are both a SoC, so no motherboard needed there. I don't know if that's the full explanation, but it could be a factor. The SoC design with unified memory is generally well

Contrary take: I believe we will see an expanded market for capable PCs that can be sanely put in a living space. By extension of the gaming PC niche to local AI. Both NVidia and AMD are developing product lines in that direction (DGX Spark

The concept of predicting future elements in a series is not specific to CS. It's older than computers.
