- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
They would dominate because they make a good product that isn’t more expensive than it has to be. US car companies have discontinued most affordable options to try and force people to only buy larger, higher end vehicles that most people have no use for. Now they’re mad that international companies are willing to sell the products they refuse to.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 4 weeks ago:
Maybe the search engines should start crawling and indexing discord
- Comment on Google’s new AI video model Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
That’s about one egg per second
- Comment on Rust is Eating JavaScript 1 month ago:
What exactly are the hazards of shared memory and locks? The ownership system and the borrow checker do a pretty good job at enforcing correct usage, and if you are clever you can even guarantee no deadlocks (talk at rustconf 2024 about the fuchsia network stack).
- Comment on Nvidia's Arm-based PC chips for consumers to launch in September 2025, commercial to follow in 2026: Report 5 months ago:
More competition in for CPUs in laptops/desktops/servers is a good thing, especially if these can compete on efficiency.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 5 months ago:
If I could game on my MacBook Pro I already would be. There’s a decent library of games that can run but it’s a lot more work than a windows or Linux box if you want to venture beyond 64-bit native ports.

I’m the reverse. As I get older, all the things I used to consider deal breakers just don’t matter as much. I don’t really care about how upgradable or repairable the device is, I’m just gonna pay Apple for the upgrade and pay them again to fix it. Whenever I have to solve an issue on my gaming PC I get an inch closer to just throwing it out and buying whatever overpriced gaming laptop comes working out of the box.
- Comment on GitHub Copilot will support models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. 5 months ago:
Similar tools have been written that support locally hosted models if that’s what you mean.

Why? Your boss sure does
- Comment on WebStorm and Rider Are Now Free for Non-Commercial Use 5 months ago:
Yeah I think it varies by ecosystem. Java and C# have really good IDE support, made possible because those languages were designed in a way that made the jobs of IDEs simpler. For more dynamic languages like JS and Python, there’s less that an IDE can offer that isn’t easily provided as a plugin. For languages like Rust I think there is more potential for high IDE support, but up to this point I think text editors have dominated due to general preference and a lack of entrenched ecosystem support.

I think the line between these two categories is less defined than it once was. A well set up vscode environment is functionally very comparable to the equivalent jetbrains product. The difference mostly lies I think it how “out of the box” the set up is.
- Comment on Apple teases “week of announcements” about the Mac starting on Monday 5 months ago:
I see this sentiment repeated a lot, but what kinds of stability and quality issues are you experiencing? It seems similar to “back in the day everything was good but now it’s bad”.
