I love the general backplane architecture, which gives it a look similar to Apple's canceled Jonathan project [0] [0]: https://512pixels.net/2024/03/apple-jonathan-modular-concept/

I guess this is a joke post, but it was pretty funny to click through to the article and be greeted with a popup that asks what type of pest control news you'd be most interested in receiving Edit: This appears to be a joke post becau

Tools like Cursor rely on the gym model—plenty of people will pay for a tier that they don't fully utilize. The heavy users are subsidized by the majority who may go months without using the tool.

Exactly, color me skeptical. I'd never heard of this app, but now there's a headline about it. Users are so numb to data breaches, it probably won't hurt them.

Cross-compiling is a totally different subject… I'm trying to make an apples-to-apples comparison. If you compile a lot of OSS C projects for the host architecture, you typically do not need multiple LLVMs or GCCs. Usually, the makefil

I think it's valuable for the leaders of a community to make it clear what kind of a community they're trying to build. If you think being anti-Nazi is like, "woke nonsense," then you know that the Gleam community is not

Being anti-nazi is not ideological.

I don't doubt it, but I don't think that situation is accepted as the default in C/C++ development. For the most part, I expect OSS to compile with my own clang.

You're getting a lot of comments along the lines of "Why don't you just ____," which only shows how Stockholmed the entire Python community is. With no other language are you expected to maintain several entirely differe

Yes, it is, although it's primarily a US journalistic convention. "Lede" is a publishing industry word referring to the most important leading detail of a story. It's spelled intentionally "incorrectly" to disa

The environmentalist in me loves the fact that LLM progress has mostly been focused on doing more with the same hardware, rather than horizontal scaling. I guess given GPU shortages that makes sense, but it really does feel like the value o

Man, busy day in the world of AI announcements! This looks coordinated with OpenAI, as it launches with `gpt-oss-20b` and `gpt-oss-120b`

It was ever thus. In each technological revolution—from the Industrial Revolution to personal computing revolution—the promise is that the technology will make work so efficient and productive that we can all work less. Unfortunately, it

You're completely discounting quality of execution, which in this case is everything. It's the whole ballgame. I had friends who were Palm Treo die-hards, and they dropped them unceremoniously in 2008 when they used an iPhone for

Three things to add: 1. Neither the Lisa nor Mac "copied" the Alto. They took inspiration, but again, the Lisa project began before the team ever visited Xerox. These ideas were in the air in SV, but no one had figured out how to

Palm Pilots and Blackberrys existed before the iPhone, so why don't they exist anymore? Why are their founders historical side notes? Because they didn't usher in the smartphone revolution. They just weren't good enough for t

This is how (checks notes) everything has always worked. In a large project such as introducing the first GUI for general use, you can't do everything yourself. If you're within a company, you hire people. You take inspiration f

Every browser renders HTML slightly differently, so you could render some arbitrary HTML into the canvas and then read out the pixels.

I'm fascinated by #5. As someone who goes out of my way to avoid Docker while realizing its importance, I would love to know the general format of your prompt.

To 99% of consumers in the US, kei trucks look like toys, so I'm not sure that's the best example. Honestly, if you look at the truck market, it's dominated by masculine designs like the F-150. Arguably this has created a gap

This rings true. Zuck wants to go down in the history books like Jobs—as a visionary who introduced technology that changed the world. He's not there yet, and he knows it. Jobs gave us GUIs and smartphones. Facebook is not even in th
