For me it's all about Nim + LLMs. I'm greedy and want both fast-to-ship and fast-to-run? Readability comparable to Python but with strict static typing that LLMs can't "cheat". I actually (mostly) enjoy reading th

Yeah but still way too granular. There’s 50 US states. Many are very different. It’d be even better if it was city based.

The idea of having a non-crap Siri on my phone that I could interrogate directly would be amazing. My ADHD brain would love to do this stuff: "Hey AI, how much is my electric bill this month?" and "Okay thats high. Pay it but

Unfortunately quite a few useful Rust libraries seem to require nightly. Now I’ve not extensively used Rust but almost everytime I did it ended up needing nightly to use some library or other.

Sure, but the Saudi Crown prince comments seem reasonable, and don’t seem to have been denied by the Saudi’s Regardless, my point was that people have a political axe to grind and call this “Israel’s war”. They intentionally ignore the poli

The US and Israel attacking Iran. Also with the Saudis heavily lobbying Trump to do it as well. The Saudi crown prince wants Trump to continue the war still. 1: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-israel-attack-iran-ir

> They have an obligation to their investors to make money with it. It's bit more nuanced. The company management have fiducial responsibilities to the investors but also have responsibility to the company itself and its employees.

Right, in particular my belief long term is that there must be functional open source AI + Robotics that common people can own and operate. Otherwise big corporations and/or governments will own everything and most folks will be serfs.

Steam and Meta Quest are both terrible at ipv6. At least from a year or so back. My home netowkr supported good ipv6 networking on two providers. Steam games would mess up constantly and Quest would take minutes to load. Steam having issues

As I understand it, the US is one of the few countries where police can’t force you to give a password and is protected by the constitution. Looks like in the EU it varies depending on the law. But unless it’s in their constitution the laws

Not just running it on your wetware, but charging you for it. Can't wait until AI companies go from mimicking human thought to figuring how to licensing those thoughts. ;)

Combine that most CS students learn many languages with LLMs and coding agents and the size of the ecosystem isn't quite as important as it used to be. New hires can be productive from day 1. Missing libraries are relatively easy to ad

I should give a talk. About what however? I’ve been happy with my progress on FigDraw (1), a 2D UI scene renderer using SDFs. Even made my own neovim ui shell with it! 1: https://github.com/elcritch/figdraw

It’s been true for a while, but AI seems to have exaggerated it. To me it reinforces the idea that LLMs created a “K” shaped talent market. Those whose are good become even more valuable.

It makes me think tech communities need to lobby for more laws to ensure fair access to platforms, app stores, etc. Be that at least side loading apps, etc. Otherwise we’ll eventually all get lost in the kafkaesque technocracies. Less for m

At the same time the dumps of government and corporate emails have been invaluable to society at large. They’ve helped win court cases, uncover corruption, etc.

Makes me wonder: are there Unicode code points for tone of voice? If not could there be?

The ManT1S linked by a sibling has a bridge. Still not cheap, but probably better than most commercial ones.

Nah, ESP32's have had ethernet capability for a while and ESP-IDF supports it well. I've been using one I built for 5+ years now. Unfortunately RMII (ethernet phy) interface takes up a lot of the GPIO pins. This part looks like it

It’s funded by the FreeBSD foundation, so “by” fits.
