This is not the reaction of someone trying to keep an open mind, especially given that this isn't your usual cup of tea. If you can get over your preconceived notions, I'd bet that you'd really enjoy this movie. It's ext

I don't think it's a hot take to say: give Kane Parsons the keys to the kingdom.

I'm a long-term "OG" Kane Pixels fan. I took a friend to see the opening night preview and we both loved it. Anyone not familiar with Kane - who was 16 when he started making his "found footage" films in Blender - t

I'd say we're on the same page with all of that. One thing I've noticed in my own behaviour is that the more tired I am, later in the day, the less rigorous I am about auditing what Opus suggests for me. This specific detail

Is cancer not normal? 40-45% of people will get cancer in their lives. It's estimated that 25-30% of people, globally, enjoy hip-hop. Cancer is 50% more common than hip-hop. Is hip-hop normal?

I appreciate this nuanced take. You've been added to my filter of people who have an opinion that bubbles to the top. I wish the Dems could have this conversation about their policies and messaging!

RP2350 and Pico 2 came out less than two years ago.

It's not a question of "unnecessary". You just don't like it when someone points out that you're making shallow statements and you don't even realize it. When you frame two MCUs intended for different purposes

This post reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad in the late 90s when I was mostly using VB6 and he was encouraging me to learn C++. Even back then, the syntax and ceremony of the language repulsed me, and my admittedly arrogant rep

Oh yeah? Remind me how many PIO channels does the C6 have? Also, could you confirm that the RP2350 consumes 2-3x less power when idling? If you have the contact details for any certification labs that don't charge extra for radio modul

Comparing an RP2350 to the ESP32 family (which is broad) is very much apples to oranges; they each have feature sets which make them ideal for completely different use cases.

Micro USB is relatively brittle and can only be inserted in one direction. It means you have to make sure you have the old cable for this one thing. There's no USB-PD and you can't do USB host mode. USB-C is the opposite of all th

The point is just blowing past you, friend. I don't need a Pico or any other 3rd party board. I drop SC-1511/12s packages on my PCBs as needed. What I am saying is that the reference board for an RP2350 should have a USB-C por

by peteforde 4mo ago
Not the point, though I appreciate folks listing links in an attempt to help. What I am saying is that we're well into 2026 and there's no good reason for RPi not to offer a USB-C version of the reference board for this MCU.

I am aware, thanks. I do think that you're missing my point, which is that we're significantly past the point in this wretched timeline where they should offer a USB-C version of the reference board for this MCU.

by peteforde 4mo ago
I have an unfair bias because I design PCBs as a significant part of my job, and switching out to USB on this board appears to be a non-issue. I have a Pico in front of me, and there's plenty of room there for a USB-C footprint and the

Pi's refusal to drop a USB-C on Pico due to cost increases is a terrible call IMO. I seriously cannot fathom being someone doing development who wouldn't pay $0.50 extra to purge the last micro USB from their desktop.

I think that is a reasoned and well-articulated reaction, thanks. No question that there are some players who need a good weekend in Vegas to make it across the chasm of sorrow.

> It won't be a total wreck. Honestly, I think it's very short-sighted to assume that all of this will be seen as any kind of wreck in the long term. Normies are still catching up and reacting to chat-based LLMs. HN types are f

While I don't actually disagree - to me, Gas Town sounds literally insane - I suspect that if you reframe his work to compare it against the cost of developing a new medication or chip fabrication technique, you can make a strong argum

Reality: the top nth percent of coders are seeing absurd, dramatic gains in productivity using LLMs. See: antirez, Simon Willison, Steve Yegge. The more experience you bring to the table, the more value you get from these tools. Look, about

I think it's probably a mistake to make a blanket statement that Claude gets every important thing wrong. It's one of those obviously untrue things that makes a skeptical reader question the validity of the rest of the article. Fo

My kneejerk reaction to reading this is to say something sarcastic and witty to refute it, but since I resemble this sentiment and haven't seen this line of thinking before... I have to concede that you've produced a novel argumen
