I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

The rule of law has eroded. You have a convicted felon in office who has brushed away an impeachment and is in control of all branches of government. So what is next now?

I wouldn’t call it gaslighting or even hallucination, but just getting things mixed up. I described Bart Simpson and asked if it could tell me which character from which show I meant. There is a Gomer Pyle who appears in several episodes of the Simpsons and does have pointy hair. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t wear a helmet and bandana. But Gomer Pyle is also a figure in the Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle USMC, which aired in the 60s.

I know it’s not DeepSeek, but this is what I got out of the Reasoner V1 model in GPT4All (“Based on Qwen2.5-Coder 7B”). Use local models with care!

The USA in the find out phase. Absolutely no pity for the new government, but I feel really bad for the migrants caught up in this.

Fuck Train Sim World. They release regular updates even though all have exactly the same base gameplay. It’s a pain figuring out which DLC requires some other DLC, or if the DLC you got is still compatible with your version of the game, or gets improved, or which version of the game has what included.

Played it for a few hours because it’s a Suda51 game. And because it’s a Suda51 game it’s style over substance and waaay over the top. But in this case they style wasn’t enough to engage me the whole way through.

After some short bouts of Forza Horizon 4 and Dirt 5 I’m back at Final Fantasy XIII, hoping I can finish it sometime soon.

After comparing the sound quality of Amazon, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal, the dynamic range of Tidal really stood out - even in lowest quality. At that time, I read that Tidal had the highest payout to the artists. I also like that the service is partially owned by several artists.

The recommendations and feeds are really top notch, just the right mix of stuff I know and like and nice surprises. The “Daily Discovery” often explores a certain genre or mood. There are so many cool bands I’ve found - also from genres I don’t usually listen to. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service.

“He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist

So you’re saying that it’s progressive to use bitcoin as … money?

But this is not just any abacus, it’s one that calculates all the results at once. That is a disruptive leap forward in computing power.

Because quantum physics. A qubit isn’t 0 or 1, it’s both and everything in between. You get a result as a distribution, not as distinct values.

Qubits are represented as (for example) quantumly entangled electron spins. And due to the nature of quantum physics, they are not very stable, and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.

Granted, my knowledge of quantum computing is very hand-wavy.

Yeah he beat that horse to death but he has a point.
