The burden of proof should be with the beholder. Must be so easy to scream AI when you don’t want to read an article.

Either ollama or omlx, both are pretty dang performant. Omlx lets you run Claude code locally though as long as you bootstrap it with the right model

Excellent work, I love Apple hardware integration outside of the ecosystem!

Because uv is still beta software and doesn’t conform to 100% of the PEPs currently available due to that being a lot of work

I thoroughly enjoy uv, having used poetry and requirements.txt prior, but it does come with its faults in a large codebase. Admittedly, I don’t know whether they re due to uv’s infancy, or PEP restrictions. For example: 1. uv sync sho

OpenGL or Vulkan, you might be able to have some luck transpiling metal shaders to spirv-cross at a cursory look

Snap is another competitor in this space that has see-through displays via waveguides.

I agree with you until you bring foodbabe into this. She’s notorious for hand-picking things that meet the MAHA agenda. For example, the oats argument, yes there is a ton of crap in the ultra processed Quaker oats, but that’s an old recipe.

AFAIK newer ones come with the NACS charger, older ones you have to buy the adapter

This is a pretty weak argument. Especially since you write fact-checking with quotes. Not your facts, eh?

“A clear indicator” …he’s been dead for 13 years and Apple has 10x’d since then.

This device is considered “low-effort” AR, AVP is a VR device with passthrough which really only has basic capabilities for AR.

Lower latency, easier to place cells in public places due to a broader range of frequencies, better bandwidth. The lower latency part is what’s going to enable edge computing for AR/VR, autonomous driving (separate via V2V but related)

We’ve been using chisel, but SiFive’s creation tools mean you don’t have to write anything. Before we went the SiFive route, we were generating CPUs with rocket and getting frustrated when there was no documentation.

I work for a defense contractor and we’ve been using these in R&D for a little over a year. They seem promising and SiFive has been working to fix every bug we find. I’m encouraged about the future of RISC-V in aerospace.

Imo there’s not really a best book or resource other than buying a microcontroller and doing it yourself! Pick up a ARM Cortex-M4 development board either from TI or STM and reimplement their example code or driver code in assembly! You can

Let me be a little more explicit, software engineering is more than code. Software developers live, breathe, and puke software development. Software engineers, usually accredited, are systems engineers as well as software developers. Softwa

Software engineering is more than just software development. Writing requirements, drafting documentation, testing, verification, maintenance. I hate to be hypercritical, but five weeks of javascript doesn’t make you a software engineer.
