Can't argue with you there. There's a ton of cool projects that people have vibecoded, and exist in domains where the fact that it's possibly insecure/poorly optimised/unmaintainable by humans doesn't really m

I recently switched to a Minimal Phone with an e-ink screen, and it sucks (which is the point, obviously). One of the things that sucks is NFC. The payment terminals constantly have a hard time grabbing it, and when they do, they often th

A lot of their screencaps show an interface that screams Lisp Machine/Genera...I can't find any actual references on the site or in the docs, but the visual nod feels intentional. (disclaimer: I am not a developer, just a devops

I imagine it would...I haven't tried the core, but most of them maintain the original outputs over the VGA port. Even if, for some bizarre reason it didn't, you could just enable the vga_scaler and force it.

Dunno which variant you bought, but the QMTech mister clones on Ali Express are affordable, work perfectly well, and come with the expanded 128MB SDRAM expansion and analog I/O board bundled up in a convenient case. I have 2 of them,

I love this thing so much. It has such great cyberpunk vibes with those chunky expansion modules. I can imagine a pixel-art video game where you update your in-game computer's capabilities by acquiring and plugging in these blocks in

I switched to a Minimal Phone...it's terrible, and that's the point. The friction of everything being so clunky keeps me from picking it up and staring at it, it's unpleasant to look at and scroll through anything but text.

I wish that was the answer to all of these people setting their spouse, their grandmother, their boss loose with LLMs to build sites. It should just be acceptable to have a simple site that conveys information well, and then we wouldn&#x27

I can't think of a reason he should be exempt. Every billionaire is a billionaire "on paper".

Here's my solution: Make being a billionaire illegal. That's it. It's incumbent upon asset-holders to remain under the limit. It's up to them how close to the line they wish to tread. No one becomes a billionaire ethic

Bullshit...they aren't sharing them with the internet archive, and at least the inventory of the defunct bookstore might have ended up with a collector or something. These slop factories have a less sound business model than any given

Here's a multi-billion dollar artificial intelligence to do your work for you! One caveat, and it’s a real one : The AI is going to spew incomprehensible word-vomit that makes you feel like you're losing your grip on reality.

So a company with an wildly superior compression algorithm stumbling into a society-breaking AI isn't so far-fetched. Jesus...Silicon Valley really was ahead of its time. I mean, save for the part where the founders recognised the thr
