What? An opinion piece, written by a human, in 2026? Don't want to go into the details of the article, but to me it becomes ever more apparent that there is a clear divide between LLM and human written text.

Version 10-12 is 10-ish years ago. They switched to yearmonth (e.g. 2604) release names long ago. Let's just say things changed since then. There is also a difference between intuitive and familiar. I learned to CAD on Fusion 360 with

Good luck with that. NX is such a pain to use compared to other alternatives (commercial and free/open source). NX Open being even more painful because it's basically 90% guesswork.

I have some fond memories of getting into computers around 2000. Building PCs, installing Windows, re-installing Windows ever so often. At some point Windows just crashed and couldn't be brought back to life, straight up refused to be

Actually yes. It's been a while, but now that you mention that, that probably was the reason for somebody (me) bringing the reels to the cinemas for a single showing in the first place.

"buy twice" is one of those live advices I heard and adhere to since. It's basically the optimistic interpretation of "buy cheap, buy twice": When I consider getting into something I buy cheap first, the idea being

One of my student jobs was to transport film spools to theaters. They would arrive at my door in a box, I would walk them to the cinema on a small trolley and spend 2-3 hours in the projection rooms. The reels were spliced on site by a tech

Wouldn't be the first time that having nothing better to do (being in school) and dedication lead to amazing results.

"Back in the day" people were afraid that pupils would create CS (beta 6.5) maps of their schools. Gaussian Splatting would have been very convenient for that :-)

My last serious GPU programming was with OpenCL. And if my memory does not fail me the API was quite specific about copying and/or sharing memory on a shared memory system. I am pretty sure that my old 10th gen CPU/GPU combo has t

Yeah... We had those bulky TI Voyage 200 graphical calculators in school [1]. They could do everything the teachers could throw at us up to the point of having all but a few formulas build in. I would say that definitely shaped me in a way

I am always a bit baffled why Apple gets credited with this. Unified memory has been a thing for decades. I can still load the biggest models on my 10th gen Intel Core CPU and the integrated GPU can run inference. The difference being that

Can't confirm. We had students at university (18-20-ish) that had not used a mouse prior to our courses. That was at least 3-4 years ago now and not a single case.

My "only" experience here is designing ASICs for Neuromorphic Chips. We used sub-threshold exclusively for linearity and energy reduction. No standard cells for us

I think their "4-bit multiplier with a single transistor" bit is hinting at them using transistors in the sun-threshold regime.

Just wanted to say thanks one note time! We have been running Ardour 9 for a while now during band rehearsals. Currently 12 channels that we record and monitor in realtime with some effects on top.

Started a comment to write basically what you said. I've been commuting like that for five years. At the end I didn't bother trying anything productive anymore. Losing 2-3h per day commuting is not something I am gone miss anytime

Don't Github have emoji reactions? I would assume that those tie "PR" and "needs emojis" closely together.

> On the ground, we know that creating CLAUDE.md or cursorrules basically does nothing. I don't agree with this. LLMs will go out of their way to follow any instruction they find in their context. (E.g. i have "I love napkin ma

I still remember when Google (and Facebook?) used XMPP for their chat functions. You could log into any XMPP client and chat with people using Google infrastructure. Good times, I feel old now.

"two or three stones" sound huge. We are 20k vs 14k, iirc that does not justify a three stone handicap. Our games feel relatively close, it's just evident that he is always ahead.

Second this, if you have the time to assemble everything that is. On the plus side your Voron won't become obsolete as you can just upgrade it to the next version. I just upgraded my Voron 2.1 to have direct drive. Having build everyth
