We made s390x builds of all our tools ( http://www.auxon.io ) for an early customer that insisted on running their org on a leased machine from IBM. It was actually a pretty good experience. It mostly just worked.

They're still common (except for alpha) platforms in some market segment specific corners of embedded development. So, maybe for those purposes? Though, the trend I'm seeing a lot of is greenfield projects just migrating their MCU

Now that the US has removed itself from the world stage, I think it's possible something useful about climate change can happen. Likely? Still no. But, possible? Yes, in a way that was never going to happen before. China and the EU are

They tariffed uninhabited land, countries that export nothing to the US, and countries for which the US has a trade surplus. All those circumstances also would have made the point moot... yet they all still made the list.

I've kind of wondered about this a bit too. The respective visual quality side of it that is. Especially in a context where you're actually playing a game. You're not just sitting there staring at side by side still frames lo

I love these breakdown writeups so much. I'm also hoping that Intel puts out an Arc A770 class upgrade in their B-series line-up. My workstation and my kids' playroom gaming computer both have A770's, and they've been re

We built a bunch of tools & technology for leveraging observability (docs.auxon.io) to do V&V, stress testing, auto root-cause analysis, etc. in clusters of embedded development (all of it built in Rust too :waves: ), since the same

In that taking those things seriously would have included: * More creative threat-modeling. * More effective prevention measures. * More vigorous mitigation & stonewalling attempts. * More rapid remediation & rejection of the intrus

The very fact that it's even possible to have this kind of thing happening unfettered, unconstrained, and unaccountable is evidence in and of itself that the US Govt. doesn't take its national security & secrets seriously thou

I'm not sure I'm understanding the relationship to what I said there. Is that example supposed to be an indication that the US Govt. does take its national security and secrets seriously?

I have literally no idea how this relates to what I said. Did you mean to reply to someone else?

by im_down_w_otp 2y ago
I guess so, but based on current events, it doesn't seem like the US Govt. has any secrets that it places any value on. Between a bunch of glorified interns being given access to anything & everything and a bunch of known compromis

That would still mean the resources required for training and maintaining these models would become more efficient/reduced over time, not increase forever. The market value of the AI supply-chain currently depends on these models havin

Agreed. Many noSQL-boom-era databases eventually bolted on a SQL-esque layer, but that was also because they were mostly also all targeting "enterprise database" use cases and customers who both expected that and whose use cases l

This happens with every inane hype-cycle. I suspect people don't particularly hate or despise LLMs per se. They're probably reacting mostly to "tech industry" boom-bust bullsh*tter/guru culture. Especially since the

Same. I keep trying to point out to people that the fact the US has pinned residential real estate as a bedrock growth investment asset necessarily precludes it from being affordable. It can't be both. The last time US residential real

VCs care. The way they make decisions has changed wildly in different ways multiple times within just the last 5 years. There’s a very good argument to be made that they shouldn’t care and that their investment theses should be more stable

Yep. That’s the version I run on my “Turbo Slab”. It’s always kind of amazing what a 33 MHz 68040 was capable of whenever I fire it up and fool around.

If I had to really try and pinpoint where my discomfort for this latest hypecycle is coming from, it's probably that I have this sense that the dynamic behind Gell-Mann Amnesia is being cynically exploited by the interests overselling

In all probability it's deceiving you the rest of the time as well. Based on what you've described here, you're trusting its expertise when you don't have much domain expertise of your own, but find it not to be particul

I'd also expect them not to be luddites, but rather subversive rejectors. This probably isn't an entirely apt example, but think people who use things like PiHole rather than people who never adopted the internet in the first plac

I think the author misattributed who the modern era punks would be. At least based on the described framework of what punk counter-culture was about and what it was countering. Given how much of the mainstream is organized around overwrough

There’s a System 7.1 Mac SE/30 sitting 2ft to my right with Word 5 on it. Send it to me. I’ve got you. Using a combination of LocalTalk and two other computers on that shelf I should get it up to Office 2001 in no time.

Could you just have them sign an NDA and pair with people on some non-trade-secret real issue that needs addressing? If you start by giving a little bit of context and then jump into some reasonable end of the backlog, then you get to see h
