   Having grown up with an unreliable sluggish gsm dial up connection when the web was already getting heavier payloads, and forced to have developed the virtue of patience and love of progress bars, I think this might work with latency intran

   I don't understand the fuss about this. Offering freeware as marketing gimmick so you can work in the most propietary closed software domain (fpgas toolchains)?

   I've been basically clankermaxxing in coding for years now and using AI chats for rubber ducking and "research" (scraping web and generating a dumpster folder of markdown "knowledge"). Also I work alone so what woul

    Engineering at my EU uni, homework and coursework were at most a tiny part of the total grade, and never enough on their own to pass. If they were relatively bigger projects, you'll pass an interview or similar review after delivering

    They also said that: > Code origin was not even a factor [0] > AI is entirely besides the point here. The changes in this Zig fork are not desirable to upstream for several reasons. [1] So my view here is that besides AI policies to f

    So the geniuses in the datacenter prefer to rewrite the full codebase in another language instead of maintaining and improving its own fork or contributing to make the current language better. Impressive to rewrite 1MLOC in a week yes, but

    I think the trend is that top models are meant for companies. Small devs did our job of hyping and training and we can now either pay way more, or pay more and use not sota models, or give our data to access train chinese models in hopes th

    You will have to use Claude Mythos Bio Premium for this, it's a very very dangerous and scary model so we limited only to Big Pharma that can use this to patch biology before it gets in the wrong hands.

    There is some we since many centuries ago that did not have to do laundry and fold clothes nor cook... because they have some meatware "robots" automating this tasks already. I'd wish we could have robots helping us to prod

    I think the best way to do this today is having your own site, be it in the shape of a blog, digital garden or whatever and then syndicate, following POSSE[0], in case of wanting community or distribution. [0] https://indieweb.or
