Is copperhead related to this Copperbrain project? https://github.com/deadbringer17/Copperbrain They have similar names, seem to solve similar problems and both have first commit within a few days in July. One is Pytho

I worry about the accumulating debt of maintaining all this "free" code if (once?) the subscription honeymoon ends. Meanwhile I'm shipping tons of new features, upgrading outdated systems and delivering real value. But I do w

Language still matters because writing robust code in C requires discipline on many fronts, and LLMs will often do the minimum to get code running (as will most humans) unless prompted further. Rust protects you from some of these issues an

You can also push deployments to remote systems which is great for servers and headless devices like raspberry pis. I use colmena and deploy-rs on different projects because they have some nice features but you can also do it with bare nix.

Protothreads are amazing, but really expose you to a lot of subtle bugs. I would not recommend them for any new projects if something like async rust or an RTOS are options.

Here's the chat session - you can expand the thought process and see that it tried a few things (hands misaligned with the keyboard for example) before testing the Dvorak keyboard layout idea. https://chatgpt.com/share&

I switched to a candy-bar style dumb phone for a month and did something similar. My list was pretty much the same as the one in the article with a few small changes. The most jarring was probably maps - other things like email, messaging e

LLMs struggle more with embedded software due to the relative lack of examples in the training data compared to javascript etc. They also struggle more with visual reasoning tasks like the character example you provided. For your first task

Yes you're right. I'd assumed that tokio was used internally in the UI but from a cursory read it doesn't seem to be the case.

Could you elaborate on why using block_on wouldn't be an acceptable solution for users that want a blocking API?

I've seen Gemini Flash 2 mention "in the OCR text" when responding to VQA tasks which makes me question of they have a traditional OCR process mixed in the pipeline.

I wish remote build/deploy for Raspberry Pi was in a better state - it seems like a perfect fit for NixOS. I've got x86 servers running NixOS that are deployed using Colmena, but it seems to fall apart when I add cross compilation

Cars radios are battery powered so will continue to work during power outages, and large enough that adding an AM radio + antenna is not really an issue - unlike a mobile phone. Seems like a good way to ensure most of the population has acc

I've noticed Gemini exhibiting similar behaviour. It will start to answer, for example, a programming question - only to delete the answer and replace it with something along the lines of "I'm only a language model, I don&#x2

I suspect the average openssh-server user just uses it for remote terminal access and copying files. Reducing the attack surface by dropping features and outdated standards is certainly valuable.

I don't like sifting flour. I add the wet ingredients slowly to the dry and mix well while it's thick to a smooth consistency before slowly adding the rest of the wet ingredients.
