I tried to hand-solder a Hirose .35-pitch connector onto a custom OSHPark board once. Let’s just say it was a humbling experience. Thanks to a generous friend, I learned the value of solder masks and owning a home reflow oven.

Respect to whoever can do this sort of thing, but life is too damn short and my eyesight and hands don’t need the abuse.

How you solder those without dropping a blob and causing a short is a mystery.

Don’t know about kids, but “Clifford, the Big Red Dog” sure traumatized Grandma.

Just checked. It’s up on Kanopy. Looks interesting.

For starting basic structure, have had good luck with Plottr. If there’s a complex timeline, Aeon Timeline is pretty handy. And once ready to write, Scrivener.

They’re propping each other up.

Somebody starts streaming VR porn on the same cell network. Latency drops to a second. Patient flatlines.

The future is here.

That was amazing! Watched the video with my Trackmania-crazy kid. I’ve played it a few times but I’m total crap at it. We couldn’t peel our eyes off the action. The first external shot of the track shows how insanely difficult it was going to be.

You still need a massive fleet of these to train those multi-billion parameter models.

On the invocation side, if you have a cloud SaaS service like ChatGPT, hosted Anthropic, or AWS Bedrock, these could answer questions quickly. But they cost a lot to operate at scale. I have a feeling the bean-counters are going to slow down the crazy overspending.

We’re heading into a world where edge computing is more cost and energy efficient to operate. It’s also more privacy-friendly. I’m more enthused about a running these models on our phones and in-home devices. There, the race will be for TOPS vs power savings.

Chocolate Stout beer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream (gently lowered – otherwise it’s all foam gushing about).

I take no credit. A deadhead, traveling beer blogger in a Winnebago (how he described himself) told me about it years ago.

Beer float.

That is actually kind of brilliant. Having to go through MFi and getting the Apple DRM chip into the manufacturing pipeline can be a real pain (and expensive).

With this scheme, they could also run all the wired on/off and volume control actions through Bluetooth AVRCP. Even have a Mic on the wire, so if a call comes in, switch to HFP to talk/manage the call.

Damn, that’s clever. Hats off to whoever came up with it.

Incidentally, there’s very little Apple can do to make this stop, unless they decide to break Bluetooth and third-party accessories.

If I had one, inside the septic tank with a snorkel.

“It also includes optimized support for Raspberry Pi SBCs to deliver enhanced performance and compatibility.”

I haven’t but my kid playing Osu! Lives and breathes the game. Used birthday gift money to buy a special three-button keyboard. Walks around all the time, tapping fingers on every surface.

How to give land more votes than people. Not long before election results are measured in number of acres.
