there is not demand. sales prove this. there is no amount of antidotal evidence you can offer: small phones don't sell.

Free CI is what really is going to keep many on GitHub (Actions). Codeberg has Woodpecker CI requires a FOSS application to get approval to use limited free tier. CircleCI has a free tier also but doesn't look like official documentation for integrating with Forgejo.

Being able to produce x86_64/arm64 builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows for free is a minimum start to get movement to another provider IMHO. GitHub already does this.

"You can even get /dev/kvm inside a Linux VM on an M3 or later running macOS 15, which runs Firecracker unmodified."

I'm very confused why any SWE is on a M1 or M2 Mac. I've always gotten a new machine at $CORP every 2 years...

He's saying that shipping from the big western parts suppliers (Digikey, Mouser, Segger) costs a lot of money. When ordering from AliExpress or Crowd Supply he just gets the cheap postal rates which from China are free. It is very likely a good chunk of the overhead from western part suppliers has to do with export controls and risk aversion.

Aliexpress doesn't do any ID verification hassle. This is all an argument more about distribution and shipping. RISK-V is going to win because getting the parts is insanely cheap and without overhead.

The "fix" is probably Digikey, Mouser, and Segger need to just let buyers check a box where they assume all liability and parts are just thrown in the mail and forgot about - something aliexpress is great at doing.

Seems because of Supreme Court ruling practically every federal agency likely needs to be re-chartered to have the same structure as the Federal Reserve.

there is plenty of grunt work these smaller models can do. update dependencies, fix merge conflicts, write --help, markdown, or readme files for existing code. etc.

sometimes they fail but undo is just a "git restore" or if automated, rejecting a PR and having a better model take a crack at it.

When I was at Apple we never wanted or. We wanted all. If that push to use Chinese memory works out it will be great for us and Apple.

What kind of crazy names are they coming up with over in GNU land?

Robin Williams’ character literally says in his tangent that he will never know what it is like to be an orphan. He certainly cannot tell the 'kid' how he should feel because he read Oliver Twist. He's aware that the same applies to him.

I hope all this speculation comes true. Right now this ram crunch is ridiculous.

I wasn't at Princeton, but I remember blatant cheating going on and 'study groups' in CS classes that were mere passing around of completed code. (1997-2001)

I'd asked them what they expected would happen when they tried to get jobs or landed one. Like how do you fake work? They just said all jobs are group-based like their study group. (Keep in mind they were soliciting my code as their group was struggling to find solutions to assignments.)

The answer is a one of them works at a grocery store as a cashier, another one I saw now manages a bagel store (didn't know all of them). A waste of time, money, and effort to get a CS degree then just not be able to use it.

How many of these sex offenders bought this couch and live close to this brick factory in homes built in that time period?

Where is the source? I only see driver and application source.
