Re:DeepSeek just open-sourced its inference engine on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @10:53AM (#50167353)
Except this is also banned under the DHS order. The order bans "information technology products and services developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd", and more pressingly, "third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations".

Is this not the Steam Machine? Provides a console-like experience with its controller and SteamOS.
Those are all for MoE models. And I prefer measuring my tokens in t/s instead of s/t
How so? All 6 of the CVEs covered in the article did not actually exist when investigated

> Thinking that computer software must be exempt from that mess as a goal is just strange

Software is deterministic, it has been since its inception[0]. Why go from something objective/provable to something that does "strange things", when we already have former? It's like making bricks out of paper and declaring "actually, this is logical next step for bricks because stuff waves in the wind".

What if not?

> I do absolutely not want a "Well let's think jointly about this for a couple of minutes".

But why?

Most of my most fulfilling experiences in tech have come out sitting down and hashing out a problem with someone else (including with managers/leaders).

It sounds like a miserable org if I am not expected/allowed to have an actual back and forth conversation with my boss. If I'm employed to be on a team working on an aligned common goal, why would I not use that collective skill and experience to my fullest advantage?

Re:Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @05:07PM (#48376302)
95% of the people I interact with over email are on Gmail (or Outlook). Google/Microsoft still have those emails either way, even if I switch off.
Re:It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12 on Friday May 29, 2026 @04:18PM (#48328640)
This is the same reason I bought my Framework 13. For the same price/less could I have bought a nice MacBook? Yes, but Framework's mission is something I wanted to support and it's an exciting product. I'm still very happy with my purchase.
He's also invested billions of dollars in SpaceX and Tesla... which he regularly makes wild claims about that are untrue.
> I think my next printer will be mostly 3D printed

What you're looking for then is a Voron. They're the printers that Bambu was "inspired" by and are made with all off-the-shelf parts.

I really enjoyed building my Voron 2.4. I bought a kit that included all the wires pre-harnessed which made it much simpler to do.

Steam already supports 3rd-party controllers and VR headsets. SteamOS is available on several 3rd-party handhelds. What more do you need for "steam compatible hardware"?

What's the matter with this? It's a clean builder pattern, the response is returned directly from send. I've certainly seen uglier Java

At this point, there are more people taking notes on an iPad + Apple Pencil than on physical notebooks in my lectures
