Thanks for this, FT has one of the worst paywalls i've seen

Surely with this hat you don't have any access to any GPIO? Unless i'm missing something - which is where i'm like why not just buy a NUC with similiar RAM for far less.

can't wait to not be able to buy it, and also for it to be more expensive than a mini-computer I buy a raspberry pi because I need a small workhorse - I understand adding RAM for local LLMs, but it would be like a raspberry pi with a G

I've been working on a litle raspberry pi pico project with kafka. As someone that used to have an Arduino uno, it made me genuinely shocked at how small controllers have gotten and they're massive capabilities

i think similiar to the metaverse, it shows an abstract decoupling between tech CEO's and reality. SORA is a platform that probably looked fantastic on a pitch deck - X amount of $ per AI video compared to Y amount of $ per human video

Really enjoyed your article, and it reflects a lot of the pain-points I experience with models. I tend to still write and review LLM code after creation, but there is definitely a shift within how much code I create "artisinally"

As someone that started off with assembly issues for a large corporation - assembly code may sometimes contain very similiar issues that mroe high-level code those, the perfection of the abstraction is not guaranteed. But yeah, there's

This is just completely the opposite to what i've experienced within Claude and Gemini. Sources are identified and if inaccessible are not included in the citations. I recently tried a quite specific search aimed towards finding inform

Yep -a single look at an "expert" in computing from any recent articles shows the problem first hand. There's a massive issue with a focus on credentialism first, which is leading to a distrust of experts in general.

This is why I love Hackernews - I've literally been looking for this recently and now I get it as a full PDF. Does anyone have recommendations for better screen readers?

+1 for refactoring.guru, find it really useful whenever i want to refactor some pre-existing code. Only wish they had a physical book!

almost similiar to the UK - while being very anti-eu, there's a complete technocratic acceptance, and beurocratic minutea has taken it over. Real sense of legislation above all

The looming sense of EU technocracy is ever present - I guess the kind of person to take offence at a cheeky marmot is probably going to be a perfect drone beurocrat. Although we do have to ask ourselves as a society, if we live in a world

I mean, if someone was on a street corner selling child friendly cigarettes, I wouldn't call that a parenting issue. I think parenting is one aspect, but surely you see how given it's a platform that advertises itself specifically

I mean, gambling for underage children is already illegal due to a myriad of reasons. I'd argue the psychological design of gacha games should be limited. Building patterns that get adults addicted, and advertising them specifically to

I looked at Roblox recently as a nostalgia trip as I was active in the community over a decade ago when I was a kid. Genuinely insane that it's legal. Full dark gambling patterns, insane access. I think the only reason it's not be

I really enjoy using the poem Love and Tensor Algebra as a visualisation benchmark for models. There's something about it that requires a sense of abstract processing. In my eye, GPT models always perform horribly at this, with Claude

Quite frankly - the majority of code is improved by integrating some sort of pattern. a LLM is great at bringing the pattern you may not have realized you are making into the forefront. I think there's an obsession, especially in more

That would be great - but the last gaming console that I've experienced that with has been the switch. I recently turned on my old xbox one - literally impossible to play any game without a massive patch, debugging os software issues e

"Bicycles are the most efficient forms of transport in energy per mile. They are often the fastest in built up areas as well." I don't disagree, but if this is the purpose of this graphic, why not just specifically measure di

Pure efficiency in locomotion is a terrible measure, is a person on a bicycle more efficient traversing a forest? Trying to say that a dog is incredibly unefficient is misleading at best - especially when we're trying to make a stateme

I want to believe you, but some of this verbage sounds very strange, as if you're don draper trying to sell me functional programming. There are a lot of stinks within those paragraphs. I have no proof that you did, but something about
