I know a feature is 'no funny abstractions', but would something like devenv.sh help achieve more or less easy support to multiple languages quickly?

Congrats on the launch! Muito legal! Alternatively to EXLA/Torchx, any thoughts on supporting an ML compiler frontend like Google IREE/MLIR by generating StableHLO or LinAlg? This could pave the way towards supporting multiple har

And ML compilers in the form of IREE/MLIR, which if successful in delivering hw and framework optionality, should make ML frameworks a far less consequential decision.

What's the best way to use nix (pkg manager) to set up dev environments these days (i.e. as an alternative to, say, asdf)? devenv.sh? Creating a vanilla flake.nix for each project to use with nix shell and direnv doesn't seem like

These devices don’t need to introduce a single point of failure any different from their dumb alternatives. A Lutron Caseta switch or a Philips Hue bulb still work like a normal switch or bulb even if their bridges and the internet is down.

While I'm a die-hard LED bulb consumer for its obvious longevity and efficiency advantages, I always wonder whether their seemingly invisible flickering messes up more with my well-being than the lack of light temperature and light bri

It’s a lightweight Hyper-V VM, just like Windows itself when you turn Hyper-V support on (boots hypervisor first, then the Windows VM in the root or parent partition)[0]. But if that’s an issue, WSL1 is still an option.[1] It’s a thin trans

Not what you asked, but would you consider the Lenovo Z13 instead? Runs Linux out-of-box[0], runs AMD with similar to i7 12th gen performance, better battery life, better GPU performance. Also includes a 4G LTE modem (optional, though sold

Let's see: I kept a Diamond Multimedia 16 bit ISA card (meh!), an 8-bit SBPro 2 on the original packaging (this one is somewhat valuable) and, I think, an SBLive! Value (this one is PCI). Might have kept a 3Com 56K modem and some assor

Not saying that this is anyone's fault, but it does sound awful that people have to pull in all-nighters like that to be successful in the indie game (or any game) scene. I imagine that news a small company like theirs can't contr

Nah! Folks, get the Lenovo Z13 instead. Exact same size, OLED or IPS, LTE modem, up to 32GB LPDDR5, Ryzen 6800 with similar perf numbers and better battery to 12th Gen i7 1260/1280 and way better graphics. No capacitive function row! A

I don't mind the lack of physical buttons since the haptics seem to be okay on this trackpad[0], but another downside is the 2242-sized SSD on the Z13 model. It's a Gen 4 PCIe, but delivers Gen 3 speeds, as noted by some early rev

That’d be true if there wasn’t robust market with competing alternatives. I may be okay with waiting another 6-12 months for Framework to supply a high res OLED screen or AMD, but without that clarity, might as well jump into Dell or Lenovo

Meklons were fun for the added production boost. Felt like playing with the Borg. My experience is from playing more MOO2 than MOO1, though. Playing with a custom race was also fun.
