STM32 is great! > nontrivial applications Out of curiosity, where do you find that you’re hitting the limits of what it can handle?

There is a version of Thonny[1] designed for use with the Pico that is great for education. Raspberry Pi have some good resources on getting started[2]. If your target audience is school kids, you really can't go past the micro:bit and

To "yes, and..." you, the whole RP2040 microcontroller line is great and I would encourage folks to support the smaller maker/OSHW companies on Tindie[1] who use it. [1] https://www.tindie.com/search/?q=r

Feedback does scale if you’re willing to adjust the loss function. I like the Jason Fried-ism of: If something really matters, you’ll hear it again. If you have to write it down to remember it, it’s probably not important.

This makes me wonder what concessions Google were able to get out of Apple for access to Gemini.

I used Grok to successfully split a large 10K-line file of spaghetti code into multiple smaller well organised files. This was after giving the same task to Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini, all of which consistently failed. Grok certainly has it

What looks like stagnation to Steen is actually [1] Matz’s remarkable foresight that provided stability and developer happiness. Steen’s not wrong that Python evolved and Ruby moved slower, but he’s wrong to call Ruby stagnant or irrelevant

I'm reading that the US spends about $893 billion[1] on national defence and about $5.3 trillion on health care in 2024, with spending on track for roughly $5.6 trillion in 2025 [2][3]. These figures don't match my intuition... --

You’re right. I can’t think of anything else with that level of impact. Maybe we're all just taking things like statins or blood pressure drugs for granted, but I don’t think those have much effect on people who are already healthy...

In the past, high-end safety always worked its way down. ABS, airbags, and backup cameras all started out as luxuries and became standard. The real question is whether this new wave of sensor-driven safety will do the same, or if the econom

What's striking about "anti-ageing" research is how it keeps circling back to the same boring truths: don’t smoke, keep your weight down, move often, sleep properly, keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check, and go easy o

The real risk isn't that AI will be "wrong" too often, it's that it will be right often enough that humans stop practising the skill. Pilots lose manual flying proficiency with autopilot, drivers lose wayfinding sense wi
