Using a technology design to generate text forever is probably not the time saver we all wanted it to be.

the biggest problem is that most people in this space talking about model's performance were not good programmers to begin with and don't even know what good is.

Self-driving cars are fun because you never see competing SaaS products having a literal standoff in the street

Showing your work is much harder than doing it.

NVIDIA officially announced the 12GB version of their RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, and we're happy to share that we have a new Graphics Module for Framework Laptop 16 with it. This is our 3rd Graphics Module, and we're living up to the promise of graphics upgradeability in a laptop!

When people talk about optimization, I see why. This is so much memory to allocate to a launcher. They need to drop this down to 1/100th of this footprint. 2 G? Should be a few tens of MB at most in this day and age.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro is selling far above our forecast, and we've sold out of the first six batches already. Also nice validation of our approach, the Ubuntu configurations are outselling the Windows ones!

The top critical replies to Coder Girl here were "4 hours fixing audio drivers nobody asked about", "Installing Linux is a mess", and "sure if you don't like to game". I have been a Linux user since SlackWare in the mid 90s. I would have agreed with all three of those up until around a year ago. Here is the reality I have been experiencing now: 1) My livingroom gaming machine is now permanently Bazzite. I installed the default Bazzite distribution from a USB key with no modifications. It can run Steam in deck mode, so I can use it with my (Microsoft!) XBox controller, and I play almost exclusively Windows games on it, which run (shockingly) flawlessly in Proton. I have yet to encounter a single compatibility problem, although I am sure I would if I played competitive shooters since their anticheat kernel drivers are designed to prevent using it anywhere but on unaltered Windows distributions. Anticheat is really the only thing holding Linux back from being an immediate substitute for a Windows gaming machine. 2) My audio workstation is now also Bazzite, since I figured it was easier than maintaining two distros. Default install just worked, no drivers necessary, despite the equivalent Windows install needing both Yamaha and Behringer drivers to be installed manually to function properly. It "just worked" out of the box for audio as compared to the Windows equivalent, and has been rock solid - no drop outs, no crashes. I did not have to touch a single audio configuration option. I just installed Reaper and PianoTeq, and everything worked. 3) The only machine I've found so far that has trouble working out-of-the-box with Linux is a Microsoft Surface tablet. But I still got it to work, it just required me to manually install a kernel patch because support for things like the Surface touchscreen aren't built into Linux distros currently. Once I did install the patch manually, it works perfectly, and even has a touchscreen keyboard just like Windows does. So even Microsoft's own hardware can run Linux just fine, and it would even be turnkey if your Linux distro of choice decided to mainline the Surface driver repo. The bottom line is that people who think Linux is worse than Windows either haven't used it lately, or are not being honest about how bad Windows has become. Windows is circling the drain. Every update, it gets worse. The number of problems I regularly have to solve on our remaining Windows machines dwarf anything I have to do for Linux system maintenance. Windows had a good run, but Microsoft has obviously focused its resources on SaaS and cloud computing. They don't care about Windows anymore, and neither should you. The next decade is about transitioning to Linux everywhere.

We spent years and billions of dollars inserting a C compiler into a lossy hash table. Here’s how we spent two weeks getting it back out with a Markov process.

All these guys know that LLMs are just a lossy compression algorithm over the input corpus. WTF guys, we had a search engine, LLMs are not supposed to be a search engine like that.

Oh boy, YouTube Slopworld here we come.

This whole RAM pricing debacle is going to cause a complete collapse of the PC market that is going to be a trigger for the bubble popping.

my god you're suuuuch a piece of shit

So this idea is trash, but I know that the geniuses at Google and Facebook are trying to make this idea of a fully machine language generated internet a reality.

Had over 1,000 hours in New World when I quit back in 2023. It was rough back then. Awkward patches, tons of game and server destroying bugs, and weird communication from support and Amazon. Drove me and many others away sometimes permanently. I heard very good things about Nighthaven which is not what I was expecting. It was enough where I was going to hop back in and see if things were better. Check it out for myself and maybe stay a while again. With this much recent positivity around the game I'm surprised to see Amazon cut it short. Sad to see big ideas fail especially when things finally start turning around in their favor. Big corporate gaming is slow to adapt and bites itself in the ass far too often. Indies aren't even the future anymore they are the now. Games like BALL x PIT, Megabonk, Hades, Expedition 33, and more outpace even massive studios in both communication and iteration. You all have access to the tools to make any of these today. They are no longer locked in ivory towers behind investor money and corporate greed. You can make something to inspire, horrify, or entertain even if you have a day job to pay the bills and work on your passion on the side. You can do it. I believe in you as do many others. Don't stop creating things and don't stop pushing for your goals. When one falls, we continue. Go Make Games develop.games

If people aren't even going to bother writing out what the code should do, then maybe they shouldn't commit that code.

I have my hangups too, but not everything needs to be turned into an allegory for your hyperfocus.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Finally, I can make a Java-Script!
