If an app knocks on a tree and nobody is around…

Works today though. :shrug:

Apparently I'm blocked form a site I've never visited. Fun times.

If I'm reading this correctly it's two or threefold. Faster switching times, which both increases max speed and reduces power consumption. Avoids flaws due to silicon doping, presently we add ions to silicon to get P or N type junctions and they've found a way to get P type junctions using "2D Hole Gas" which is basically a thin layer of voids inside the bulk diamond crystal after treatment and avoids a category of flaws that affect silicon yields. Third, and this is speculation, but diamond has a way higher thermal conductivity and lower thermal expansion coefficient, so it can likely withstand higher temps and conduct heat away faster.

So this looks like it's based on VSCode instead of their typical engine. I have complex feelings about that. I actually like their engine.

BTW, what's "InnovationHub" it's mentioned but I can't find a good link or explanation.

Overall it just looks like an experimental direction for IDE dev. I'd prefer they leaned into native dev like Zed though.

I enjoy this quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

And I feel that sums up my feelings on AI this and that. Just as the wood and clay contain the sculpture within and it's the artist's duty and privilege to reveal that. So, is elegant software exposed from the conceptual mass, rather than built up.

The AI zeitgeist currently is 'how many features can I add' because we've tied self worth to work output instead of some other more personal or human rubric. AI will happily pile more and more and more code on your plate because it's a buffet. It's gone through reinforcement cycles guiding it to add whatever feature you ask. There is no training for elegance or careful considered design. Nobody is teaching this generation of LLM restraint.

The safest code is that which never runs. The most elegant feature is that which is not necessary.

I actually love watching this from a distance. It's very OG cyberpunk.

They have successfully deplatformed emulator projects from the larger project hosting providers like Github. But they have not stopped them. The real emulator projects have just circled the wagons and started self-hosting their build and dist infrastructure, running independent Forgejo instances, etc. There's still more churn in the community because of the risk profile, and now because of LLMs. But it's settling down and there are a couple stable Switch 1 projects. And actually, their recent DMCA carpet bombing removed a lot of the unsafe forks of emulators on places like Github. Likely leading to more people being directed to the real ones.

He's the mayor regardless of your feelings on the matter, and the Nicks are the sportsball team for the city he's mayor of. This isn't partisan thing just because he exists and is doing what mayors do. If he tried to gatekeep something for only his party, or ideology then it'd be partisan. But he didn't because it's a NY thing, not a partisan thing. See the difference?

I’m not using that term to describe a field of study over 80 years old.

You might as well try to unilaterally rename one of the Great Lakes.

Ion Fury uses a modified version of eDuke32 which can do software only rendering, and quite well, but defaults to GPU acceleration because Ion Fury uses the real time lighting.

That said, the Build Engine had software voxels in 1997. Which was pretty cool.
