buildbot··on DaVinci Resolve – Photo
There’s literally no concrete details in this; other than that they were inspired by the lomo cameras… Do you know what a 3D LUT is? Or color grading at all?
buildbot··on The future of everything is lies, I guess: Work
I love the analogy of AI coding as witchcraft! It’s very accurate to how working with these tools feels - At one point I was forced to invoke a “litany against stubbing” in a loop to make claude code actually implement a renode setup for some firmware. That worked really well.

It feels like hexing the technical interview come to real life ;)

An instagram filter is to a 3D lut as a PB&J sandwich is to a Michelin star meal...

Let alone the other things listed.

Wow, this looks incredible- Capture One has really not been innovating, is slow, the library can’t handle 40k raws, and with Lightroom, edits seem slightly worse.

The cinematic color grading seems super cool, can’t wait to give this a try.

buildbot··on Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it
Those do super fun things to slide numbering too sometimes, so you get 2 slide sixes, and no slide eight.
buildbot··on Android now stops you sharing your location in photos
I mean the serial number of the camera and possibly lens are included too…
buildbot··on Small Engines
Oh wow, I didn’t know he experienced two meltdowns in his life! Carter also visited 3 mile island during its meltdown when he was president.
buildbot··on Protect your shed
Hackaday is amazing - so many cool, inspiring ideas. It’s been around a very long time too.
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
They actually did! That was the lawyers advice :)
buildbot··on Floating point from scratch: Hard Mode
Super cool to tape out a nearly 500MHz systolic array!!! I wish sometimes I had gone far enough with my hardware education to be able to do more than simple FOGA designs.

A really cool thing to see would be the newer block scaled fp4/fp8 data types. Maybe for their next asic they can try it haha - https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.10537

buildbot··on Claude Code Down
Not that it is the best indicator, but downdector is showing many services with spikes at exactly the same time as Claude Codes issues began.
buildbot··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
I actually meant their multi gig service in general/this page - I know ziply quite well!

The 10G seems like a price/sanity sweet spot, 50G is really massive overkill, as tempting as it would be…

oooooo how did I miss this before
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
They are taking it in stride at least!
buildbot··on Show HN: A game where you build a GPU
100% agree - the way that you have the very subtle arrows on the transistor drains that show the actual current flow is really smart too. I struggled with visualizing the current flow in undergrad for an embarrassingly long time.
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
They are doing okay! And there is some legal actions possible, though not worth it in this case.
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
If your system is setup that way you likely have a better social safety net too?

And this person was removed before any probationary period, before they started, without cause.

Laying off employees by seniority is not the same level in my opinion.

buildbot··on Show HN: A game where you build a GPU
This would be such a good game for introducing students to digital technology! This is so fun! We just had to draw them by hand back in the dark ages of the 2010s.
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
In the USA at least sure. This was in a country with lightly better employment protections so it’s quite uncommon.
buildbot··on Jack Dorsey says Block employees now bring prototypes, not slides, to meetings
Block signed a friend of mine, they quit their other job, then block was like whoops layoffs including people like this person who hadn’t even started. Super unethical.
buildbot··on Update on the eBay Scam
Not the only scam on eBay these days - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47566523
buildbot··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
Empire earth slapped so hard. Both 1 and 2. Honestly now that I’m thinking about it, going to set aside some time this weekend and play it again!
buildbot··on Artemis computer running two instances of MS outlook; they can't figure out why
FYI Alpine: https://github.com/realpine/alpine Not Alpine Linux, too late to edit to clarify
buildbot··on Artemis computer running two instances of MS outlook; they can't figure out why
The entire point is to avoid an OS like windows; and an email client like Outlook?

Alpine & Linux?
buildbot··on Lemonade by AMD: a fast and open source local LLM server using GPU and NPU
It’s a community project supported and sponsored by AMD according to their GitHub; https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade

AMD employees work on it/have been making blog posts about it for a bit.

I long ago used arq backup with google drive as a target, and there’s something like 1-10 million little chunk files in that directory so it’s probably that…
buildbot··on Random numbers, Persian code: A mysterious signal transfixes radio sleuths
Random chance has a really good sense of humor!

Because the Google drive desktop app crashes as well :)
