It raises the question: what is a distro since many distros are customizations of other distros. What makes Ubuntu a distro and not just a customization of Debian? https://youtu.be/yIA4idIdY_k The video above is in inline w

Wouldn't be surprised if we lost free private repos because of the slopocalypse. Though most don't seem to be shy about sharing their slop with the world so I'm not sure if that will actually increase stability.

It was insane how much you could get done for a couple of dollars. The good times never last.

I run Ghostty and Claude Code on a work macbook and I haven't seen this yet. I actually used to have issues with run away memory leaks causing my computer to hang which often required a reboot to recover from. I haven't experience

If you drop a screenshot of a web page into something like Figma Make, you can get it to produce a strikingly close replica. I get that vibe from the screenshots. They are very similar but not exactly the same. That's probably also why

Well, the hacker group claims to have access to the Github source code according to the linked article. And apparently, one lucky buyer with at least $50,000 can also have access.

I bought a Thinkpad P16s with 64 GB of LPDDR5x ram in October 2024 for just over $1100. 64 GB of LPDDR5x will add $849 to the price of a Framework 13 Pro. Thats insane. I would love a future Framework 16 Pro but that will probably run $3500

No you can't do that on a kindle. They have a "send to kindle" feature that allows you to add non-Amazon purchased ebooks to your library. But that requires support from the backend (and an internet connection). I'm assu

For keyboards specifically, there are still community run group buys happening on the geekhack forum. It's both a lot more interesting and a lot more risky than Massdrop used to be in the sense that there is lots of stuff that even the

I don't think there is any incentive to do so right now because the open models aren't as good. The vast majority of businesses are going to just pay the extra cost for access to a frontier model. The model is what gives them a co

It appears that OpenAI has blessed third party harnesses. I know they officially support OpenCode and they have this on their developer portal: "Developers should code in the tools they prefer, whether that's Codex, OpenCode, Clin

I built a new desktop in 2023 and repurposed my old desktop for my daughter. The old desktop had a couple of smaller SSDs so I swapped them out for a 2TB Samsung SSD. Paid $99 on Amazon. The exact same SSD is $479 on Amazon today. It's

What gave you the impression that this was related to AI? Was it the 100+ Agent Skills? The Gemini CLI extension? Or the bundled MCP server?

I don't think they are going to collapse. But it was only a couple of years ago that many people thought OpenAI had a big (some thought insurmountable) lead in a race to dominate a winner take all markee. Some people did correctly stat

Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, etc have been able to collect large amounts of revenue from a global customer base so I don't think the assumption was that unreasonable. Obviously, China will protect its homegrown AI industry

Apple's core business is trapping users into their walled garden so they can rent seek. Whichever one you think is worse is really just a reflection of your own personal values. I value computing freedom above all.

Yeah, I suspect that a lot of the decline represented in the OP's graph (starting around early 2020) is actually discord and that LLMs weren't much of a factor until ChatGPT 3.5 which launched in 2022. LLMs have definitely acceler

Wifi 5 for an $80 router in 2026 (I mean we're almost there) is pretty disappointing. I get that its mostly going to be used on crappy hotel networks and the crappy hotel network will often be the bottleneck but $80 looks to be roughly

It was a partnership through a multiplayer service called Engage.

Yes it was! I just posted a comment about how amazing the warcraft 2 community was on AOL. Couldn't remember if they charged per minute or per hour so you just confirmed it for me. I just remember that some kids were racking up insane

AOL had an amazing warcraft 2 community. There was an online games service in the 90s called Engage and AOL had a partnership with them that allowed AOL users to play multiplayer games through the AOL service. There was a additional charge

For anyone actually concerned about this: the Galaxy XR uses an external battery pack with a long power cable just like the Vision Pro. The battery is not attached to the headset itself.

Sounds like a common 419 scammer tactic of making absurd claims in order to filter out people that might catch on to the scam.

Allowing Apple to have a veto on which features are allowed to be added to a browser is even more hostile to the web.

by nerdix 1y ago
And one of the browsers is maintained by an OS vendor that benefits from the lock-in that comes from native apps and rent seeking from their app store. I'm sure they would love to control the pace of browser innovation by just deciding

The models running on $50k GPUs will get better but the models running on commodity hardware will hit an inflection point where they are good enough for most use cases. If I had to guess I would say that's probably 10 or 15 years away

I didn't mean to imply that there was a winner or loser. Just that AMD was subsidizing it's GPUs with equity. I think there are logical reasons for both companies to agree to this deal. AMD is trying to break CUDA dominance. OpenA

The title didn't make this obvious (at least not to me) but it's OpenAI that has the option to buy 10% of AMD. Not the other way around. In case you're wondering how OpenAI could afford to buy 10% of AMD while they are hemorr
