angled··on Court orders restart of all US offshore wind power construction
But what of the culture? For years now the art and music has felt like poor cousins to what is in the west, similar to what we see generated by AI now, and consumed be people doomscrolling on WeChat moments while they wait for their didi to deliver their food from the shop down the street.

Every time I visit SZ now it feels like the scooters are misrouted neurons firing in any which direction, with no respect for pedestrians, parking, or the rest of the city.

angled··on xAI joins SpaceX
But … but what if we had solar-powered AI SREs to fix the solar-powered AI satellites… /in space/?
angled··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
The completed original line up was

S 3 X Y

The C didn’t fit that, nor would a 2. Unless he’s aiming for a lineup of products that has you seeing someone next Tuesday.

Well, if you must…
angled··on IBM to acquire Confluent
The awe induced when standing in front of a brand new, kitted out x95 frame with all its drawers full and that special shade of IBM blue on everything is definitely something. Pull out the HMC and just think about how many decades of R&D and experience and tears went into the entire system.

foo@baz!quux, those were the days.
angled··on Cloudflare Radar: AI Insights
Market makers always win…

Peak giving-Matt—the-headspins would be if JS stepped and made the crawler market for India.

angled··on Survey: a third of senior developers say over half their code is AI-generated
I’ve arrived at something similar:

* brainstorm all the ideas, get Claude to write docs + code for all them, and then throw away the code

* ask it to develop architecture and design principles based on the contents of those docs

* get it to write a concise config spec doc that incorporates all the features, respects the architecture and design as appropriate

* iterate over that for a while until I get it into a state I like

* ask it to write an implementation plan for the config spec

* babysit it as I ask it to implement phase by phase of the implementation plan while adhering to the config spec

It’s a bit slower to than what I’d hoped originally, but it’s a lot better in terms of end result and gives me more opportunity to verify tests, tweak implementation, briefly segue or explore enhancements, etc.

angled··on StarDict sends X11 clipboard to remote servers
A great comment, but your brief mention of fetchmail brought back a flood of memories of .fetchmailrc’s and watching dots on screen as I downloaded my mail from POP3 servers over all sorts of horrible baud rate modems, before I sensibly switched to sending and retrieving my email via UUCP.
angled··on Coffeematic PC – A coffee maker computer that pumps hot coffee to the CPU
Then tokenise the mined crypto. The tokens can be represented by coffee beans. The beans are now magically valuable!

Digitally enhanced coffee as fungible tokens. “Decaf” for short. What could go wrong?

angled··on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders?
I keep a working iPhone 8 in a drawer for the same reason.
angled··on Chongqing, the Largest City – In Pictures
To me, it’s better to compare China with India. Similar populations, yet the effects of different systems of government are extremely obvious.
angled··on The booming, high-stakes arms race of airline safety videos
Wonder how much of the increase in quality of the safety video is due to the introduction of COS21.
angled··on Lynx is the oldest web browser still being maintained
Lynx was great, but w3m + gpm for mouse input + fb for graphics was a revelation.
angled··on TikTok goes dark in the US
Beijing understands very well how TikTok can be used. It’s been banned in Hong Kong since the 2019 protests.
angled··on Oracle Will Not Voluntarily Withdraw JavaScript Trademark
That press release and the list of partner companies are amazing. Marc Benioff was the listed press contact for Oracle!
angled··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
I wonder if these will be region-locked (eg, not for HK SAR).
angled··on Bill requiring US agencies to share source code with each other becomes law
Ideally, a body such as NIST would become the stewards of federal libraries that contractors are then compelled to use and improve. If the end goal is about cost efficiency more than any other ideal or objective, then that type of centralisation and reuse should be promoted and enforced.
angled··on Lfgss shutting down 16th March 2025 (day before Online Safety Act is enforced)
Just like our knees… we might have started as fg, but now ss, and soon our Phils will not be laced for the track but for our chairs. The fight is fading.

Loud pipes save lives…

angled··on Marshall Brain died hours after alleging retaliation at NC State
My thoughts exactly. It was all about campus real estate! A room with a view.
angled··on Are rotary mixers better?
HÖR use A&H mixers when people play vinyl on their YouTube channel. It’s very noticeable, especially for the proggy stuff!
angled··on Are rotary mixers better?
Is there anything that compares to their absolute dominance? Every one is using their CDJs these days. Occasionally people still break out the steel wheels but Pioneer seem to have completely captured the market.

One such school:

The kids that went there … some succeeded, some really struggled to adjust to other schools and environments.

angled··on Two never-before-seen tools, from same group, infect air-gapped devices
Absolutely.

Fibre for networking, PS/2 (with or without) adapters for keyboards and mice, and VGA for monitors.

as an example of what it's still like in some of those spaces, here's a product sheet for a cross-domain chat solution - the screenshot on the second page appears to be CDE. https://owlcyberdefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/20-OW...

angled··on In a first, Phoenix hits 100 straight days of 100-degree heat
They both sound like China 10-20 years ago.

China generally has permanent APEC blue now. Hope the US catches up!
