My kids are in the middle of their finals week. What a mess. Universities know nothing, Canvas claims to be in a "scheduled maintenance", and one Prof claims to "not have any copies of material offline" which seems prett

My father is in his 80’s, has poor hearing aids, but still goes out daily with his dSLR and Merlin to see what’s around him and he still gets great shots. I’m really happy Merlin exists.

If you use LLMs in lieu of searching Stack Overflow, you're going to go faster and be neither smarter nor dumber. If you're prompting for entire functions, I suspect it'll be a crutch you learn to rely on forever.

It’s not just the orders of magnitude difference in number of rounds fired; it’s the size and power of the rounds. SEALs don’t shoot soda cans with .22 rifles.

And yet several places do. “Menu reflects cash prices” and “tuition payment via credit card will be subject to a 3.5% fee” are 2 I got this week.

Would this have been written in C, asm, or something else? I suppose with Atari & Mac II both being Motorola processors the assembly would have been a direct lift except for any Apple-specific UI. My favorite part of the story was the l

Dune 2 is almost 3 hours long. Why shouldn’t it cost more than a 90 minute romcom?

https://www.craft.do on macOS is a great text+media notes app, but I still use Obsidian for pure-test use cases for some reason.

I like listening to The Great Courses on Audible. They’re long and interesting, but they’re nothing I’d take notes on, they’re not anything that would change my life. I have used credits on a few nonfiction books, gotten 1/4 in, and bo

Timely read; we’re in the process of replacing our $12k Thermador refrigerator 4 years after we bought it, and 6 months and a dozen trips by the repair guy.

I’ve used the blood oxygen sensor during bouts with Covid, while sleeping, and while sitting at a computer (“email apnea”). It’s an important part of the reason I own it. If Apple removes this sensor from my ultra 2, I hope I can get my mon

I verified verilog using the Vera language back in the day. The largest test benches would take 5s to compile to interpreted bytecode. Verification engineers rarely change the design, so keeping that part compiled is great for productivity.

I worked at a startup company that created a DSL to generate verilog. We had the designers do unit testing in the DSL but “sign-off” verification was still UVM w/generated verilog. When a hidden bug costs millions of dollars, you can’t

Awesome! When I was an undergraduate all I could tape out was a small wafer of capacitors and correlate theoretical vs silicon. Chisel is no doubt a developer velocity booster. And generating those components does help speed you along espec

These languages are fun. "Look ma, no verilog!" But the underlying problem with all of these DSLs is the fact that the EDA[0] industry interoperates on verilog. Period. Worse, at some point in the design cycle, post-synthesized ga
