Ah, the 2000's, when CompactFlash cards weren't that compact, and SmartMedia wasn't at all smart.

If it's worth it to you, you could try running it on Deepseek v4 flash which is very cheap right now...

I actually finally got started with CC after 4.6. ;) The output is certainly prodigious (I can do things for side projects that I'd be very unlikely to finish on my own), but it's not a coding prodigy so it hasn't dislodged m

China also picked up (from A123) and ran with LFP batteries which are inherently safer.

I think the gist of it still applies to even Claude Code w/Opus 4.6. It's basically outsourcing to mediocre programmers - albeit very fast ones with near-infinite patience and little to no ego.

The fab was already taken apart and sold by then.

CD's have repatterened uncompressed data using scrambling codes to keep the waveform stable (i.e. ~50% on/off) And a Laserdisc with digital sound literally has that CD audio EFM waveform in the lower frequencies.

Agreed - if you're only writing things with Claude Code that would exist anyway (largely day job things) you're missing out. Having an AI-slop version of X for your own gratification is usually better than having no version at all

Yeah this feels at least partially Claude-written to me too.

You also need "make no mistakes"

This is in the Qualcomm SOC chip, so it's not something that has to be designed into the phone per se.

It's meant to be Just Good Enough to keep C-Suites from picking Zoom and Slack.

Yup... the first Ryzen/EPYC chips were literally a saving throw . AMD's driver/software woes compared to nVidia make more sense when you realize they barely made it here at all.

Sound out the first three letters. I find it a very fitting description myself. I guess that makes it a hononym of a different acronym.

As someone who grew up on Atari 8-bits, they missed a trick by not calling this the 800.

SNMP: It's an acronym and a homonym.

Agreed, it along with claiming victory on that certain thing that started five years ago and didn't end yet, realllly annoyed the left. And now, matters are worse. (It also made the statements about "radical left" candidates

There's a critical instruction for Objective C handling (I forget exactly what it is) but it's faster than intel's chips even in Rosetta 2's x86 emulation .

... and because of activist investors, they're throwing that away.

Maybe it's the exposure to Chinese? I've heard that training models on code first helps, so I could see it. I've also heard hearsay that R1 is quite clever in Chinese, too.

The sad thing is that, from what I can tell, Intel doesn't have a true planned successor to Alder Lake-N. It really might be as bad a mistake as not having Intel Isreal's futher development of Pentium 3 would have been. (in oth

AMD was in critical trouble just ten years ago - if Zen 1 had failed AMD would have faced bankruptcy. Probably a good reason why they're so behind on the software side. So AMD going from that to 2-3x intel's market cap is just...

Someday this should be upgraded to an 8th or 9th gen core i7. ;)

Intel's graveyard, even before this year, is just about as big as Google's.

The current Broadcom (Avago) is literally not the Broadcom that RPi came from. Not that old-Broadcom was great, but...

They (probably) also had a chance to buy out A123 instead of letting it go to a Chinese company in bankruptcy, then they would have had control over LFP in general (word is CATL used a lot of ex-A123 industrial secres)

Yup... this was the plan, they published the plan, certain candidates denied it, and enough of the nation fell for/into it. We'll be about a quarter of the way to the Chinese Internet by 2029.

Gah, enforced enshittification with model deprecation is so annoying.

Yeah, moreso since that's the highest nvidia card this gen available with a sane power connector.

This card might've been forgivable with 16GB or a $149 MSRP, so of course they didn't do either...
