I'm not surprised they have to pay higher, since no amount of money could convince me to work towards human irrelevance, or BigAdTech. When I see this technology improve and free the lives of those whose salary is akin to slavery, then

A generation of under investment in energy production will create all kinds of government backed environmental propaganda. Incandescent bulbs = bad. Fossil fueled AI data centers = economy. If there was a true environmental motivation for

Twice my battery was flat. Now I just do a complete shutdown, since Asahi boots in ~30s (M1 Pro).

Right, but the cars here now have to have some kind of GPS tracker thing built in. And the Jeans are 1% elastacine? so that they fall to bits in the Sun after 6 months. I remember a pair of real denim jeans I picked up in the states that

I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and power of my second hand M1 Pro 32GB running Asahi & Qwen3:32B. It does all I need, and I dont mind the reading pace output, although I'd be tempted by M2 Ultra if the secondhand market h

ah, that sounds hopefull thanks, although I must have something configured wrong because it still complains no .git directory.

SimonW used to have more articles/guides on local LLM setup, at least until he got the big toys to play with, but well worth looking through his site. Although if you are in parts of Europe, the site is blocked at weekends, something

Kate is such a refreshing change. Super responsive and fast under Asahi. It's the best dev environment I've worked with in a very long time. A few niggles with the switch, like it seems to assume Git but I'm using Fossil.

Only takes a few clicks most days for the annoying captcha to trigger for me. I never complete it on principle, but maybe that's why it keeps coming back. Anyway the DDG html search site is next to useless now, and I'm fed up of

Interesting. I'm currently having great fun learning systems programming on the Allwinner A64, and never considered the option of building a board with one, assuming they are still available. Are you documentating your project somewh

>Personally, I'm on HN for the human conversation Agreed. It's hard enough dealing with the endless stream of LLM marketing stories, please lets at least try to keep the comments a little free of this 'I asked...' ma

Agreed. Brave to launch disposable tech with the current environmental awareness. e-waste in 12-15hours, when people are pushing for more and more for repairable devices just feels very out of touch.

The updated IGN website doesnt work properly for me. The old site was so much better, do you know if there is an alternative?

The PinePhone has 6 dip switches for this 1. modem, 2 Wifi/BT, 3. Mic 4, rear cam, 5. front cam, 6. headphone / serial port. They say it will stay in production for 2 more years, but a lot of the accessories (LoRa cover, keyboard

I used to enjoy clicking through to the ESA Sentinel images, but then they kinda dried up for a while, or it was very hit and miss for updates. It would be nice to have regular daily or weekly upload. Our planet is so beautiful, as many o

Thanks, I've been tempted, but wasnt sure if they work 'local only' and without app, and this sounds like it dials home? Anyway seems like a long wait list for suitable HDD will save my money for now. Plus I was a little mo

I was pleased to discover my old PinePhone allows this. It makes development much easier when having to swap the SD card every few minutes, and allows for simple power cycle via USB switch. What I cant figure out is how to detect power usa

Asahi Linux with Kate (editor) & Fossil (scm). - No idea why I wasted so much time switching away from macos. It feels like my computer belongs to me again. 'It just works better'

Not quite dead yet. For me the rise of LLMs and BigTech has helped me turn more away from it. The more I find Ads or AI injected into my life, the more accounts I close, or sites I ignore. I've now removed most of my BigTech 'f

I have to investigate this further. I bought a bunch of bluray UHD documentaries that I cant watch because my 4K TV is a 'monitor'. Which I only found out was a problem after also having to buy some expensive 4K HDMI cable which

Thanks. Well your post motivated me to knock off the rest of the I2C yesterday. Good luck with the rest of your project.

No thanks. Quite happy with my ConBee II and small collection of open hackable ZigBee devices thanks. Why would I want yet-another-standard with self-updating devices, using more power (strong cryptography), and closed to certified devices

That's quite a milestone and achievement, well done! Your current Features list reads far beyond hobby level! It certainly puts my own hobby phone OS to shame. I'm still working out touch screen driver, and I only have IBM&#x2

The curse of modern super bright LEDs. Add to that list; super bright red brake lights, and a new trend for animated turning lights / indicators. Looks like something we'd have installed as teenagers after watching Knight Rider.

A really great read. Although, I now feel like I 'need' a logic analyzer, looks fun! And I'm looking forward to the firmware analysis mentioned at the end.

Even if LLMs seem to have reached their limits, and are no longer on the feature path towards AGI, I have a fundamental (possibly irrational) dislike for anything labeled AI, just in case this does become a stepping stone towards AGI. On th
