Palomides··on Raspberry Pi Pico 2 at 873.5MHz with 3.05V Core Abuse
it might actually be better to cool from the bottom, since the pads probably conduct heat better than the chip package material

I bet if you designed a custom board it could do a little better

Palomides··on Stoat removes all LLM-generated code following user criticism
why? I think having a stated policy on LLM use is increasingly unavoidable for FOSS projects
Palomides··on Stoat removes all LLM-generated code following user criticism
maybe? devs should weigh the feedback and decide what they think will best serve the project. open source is, especially, always in conversation with the community of both users and developers.
Palomides··on Stoat removes all LLM-generated code following user criticism
what if the users legitimately don't want AI written software?
Palomides··on Reliable 25 Gigabit Ethernet via Thunderbolt
you can get a 100Gb normal pcie card like a MCX416A for less than $100 if you're willing to flash them
Palomides··on Vitamin D and Omega-3 have a larger effect on depression than antidepressants
you could make a decision informed by actual information, i.e. your blood levels
Palomides··on Porting 100k lines from TypeScript to Rust using Claude Code in a month
I'm very skeptical, but this is also something that's easy to compare using the original as a reference implementation, right? providing lots of random input and fixing any disparities is a classic approach for rewriting/porting a system
Palomides··on Linux kernel framework for PCIe device emulation, in userspace
some ARM chips can do PCIe endpoint mode, and the kernel has support for pretending to be an nvme ssd https://docs.kernel.org/nvme/nvme-pci-endpoint-target.html
Palomides··on Porsche sold more electrified cars in Europe in 2025 than pure gas-powered cars
probably worth mentioning they discontinued the ICE Macan (and 718 Cayman/Boxster) in Europe?

also they put a dinky 2KWh battery in some 911s

Palomides··on "Anyone else out there vibe circuit-building?"
I think it's also that hardware costs are so easy to quantify compared to engineering labor and software dependency maintenance etc
Palomides··on Predicting OpenAI's ad strategy
mad men is fiction
Palomides··on The recurring dream of replacing developers
>every "no-code will replace developers" wave actually creates more developer jobs, not fewer

you mean "created", past tense. You're basically arguing it's impossible for technical improvements to reduce the number of programmers in the world, ever. The idea that only humans will ever be able to debug code or interpret non-technical user needs seems questionable to me.

Palomides··on The recurring dream of replacing developers
the infinite-fountain-of-software machine seems more likely to replace developers than previous innovations, and the people pushing the button will not be, in any current sense of the word, programming
Palomides··on Drone Hacking Part 1: Dumping Firmware and Bruteforcing ECC
you could compare with apple locking down iphones and parts, which I understand significantly reduced theft
Palomides··on I Built a 1 Petabyte Server from Scratch [video]
as an aside, backblaze has since switched to off the shelf supermicro systems
Palomides··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
why do you think a majority of bandcamp users want AI music?
Palomides··on Building a 25 Gbit/s workstation for the SCION Association
they aren't cheap, but noctua's latest 120mm fans are arguably as good as it gets, in quantifiable ways: https://www.hwcooling.net/en/noctua-nf-a12x25-g2-pwm-the-kin...
Palomides··on Sergey Brin's Unretirement
[flagged]
Palomides··on Web development is fun again
isn't it exactly the opposite? LLMs have killed the generalist, only specialists with very targeted skills have anything marketable
Palomides··on Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed in animal models? Study
>expect it to be everywhere within just a couple of years.

there are studies about this compound from a decade ago, kinda doubt it's going to be a breakthrough at this point

Palomides··on Adobe Photoshop 1.0 Source Code (1990)
unlike most FOSS, blender gets millions of dollars a year to support development
Palomides··on Autoland saves King Air, everyone reported safe
it kinda sucks, but with the constraints it's at least understandable. they wanted an extremely lightweight language with a bytecode VM which could be ported to whatever MCUs in 2015, while also strictly limiting the functionality for battery usage reasons (and, uh, product segmentation/limiting third party access).
Palomides··on What Does a Database for SSDs Look Like?
nope, linux python script that writes a little data and calls os.fsync
Palomides··on What Does a Database for SSDs Look Like?
I just tested the mediocre enterprise nvme I have sitting on my desk (micron 7400 pro), it does over 30000 fsyncs per second (over a thunderbolt adapter to my laptop, even)
Palomides··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
some of the platforms on that list are not supported well enough to say they actually have usable rust, e.g m68k
Palomides··on We Need to Die
by that logic things done during shorter lives are more valuable, so you should kill everyone as soon as possible to make their lives more meaningful

lotta people in this thread with anti-life beliefs

Palomides··on We Need to Die
that seems like a circular justification

if my body and mind were falling apart and all my friends/family went before me maybe I'd be ready... but I see that as a huge argument in favor of immortality since I want people I care about to be alive and healthy

Palomides··on We Need to Die
it's kinda weird that you think modern capitalism/mode of wealth is a harder problem to solve than literal immortality

I'll take eternal life even if Putin gets it, thanks

Palomides··on Covid-19 mRNA Vaccination and 4-Year All-Cause Mortality
doing a double blind study of a vaccine that seems to work very well for a potentially lethal disease seems morally questionable
Palomides··on Don't throw away your old PC–it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy
