I use Qwen 3.6 on a remote GPU that my work offers. Works fine. Slow and steady, works hard, gets the job done. Probably better at diagnosing than making new code, but whatever.

This is one of the clearest example of diminishing returns I've ever seen. It comes up everywhere. I wonder if this is a natural law, or emergent behavior of complex systems?

Too bad they didn't mention that while the cable is direct attach, the ends each have an EEPROM in them saying what the cable is. This EEPROM can be a source of immense frustration, if it's got the wrong data in it, or if both end

I just told a colleague no to a new dashboard she was proposing. In the process of explaining why, we realized that the automated system had a new interesting edge case that we could program it to investigate automatically and report - the
