This will be my first Framework

Depending on how you treat it, it might also be your last. So far, Framework has offered upgrades to their existing customers so they don’t have to buy a completely new notebook to upgrade.



They are wrong. Theft means depriving someone of having something, and that’s not the case here. It’s more a “they’re taking our jobs” kind of situation.


Facts are not under copyright, only creative expression are. So, for example your randomly assigned phone number does not have copyright protection.



That’s not how research & development works. Nobody asks for a specific person there. Stuff just doesn’t get done.


I’d rejoin for double the wage I previously had. Need to build up an emergency fund for this precarious position.


It’s the confidence with which he sprouts his nonsense. People flock to confident personalities, because they must know a lot of things (presumably).


  • Improved autocomplete when programming
  • Recommendations for third party packages or protocols for programming or letting it list details for them, or comparing two competing implementations
  • Hints for my TTRPG stories (not so great for that, because it always uses very similar ideas)
  • Helping recalling a word I forgot by simply describing what I mean, same with phrases or proverbs

Location tracking and recording of all activity (voice, text messages). The FBI has admitted doing so during big events like protests.


The traditional separation is between individualist vs. social. Individualists value personal freedom over the prosperity of the community, while socials strife for welfare for everyone over personal life improvements.


A bartering LLM where the system prompt contains the worst deal it’s allowed to accept.


It’s not related to the left/right divide, this is the authoritarian/liberal axis.


The EU’s privacy laws don’t require a cookie dialog. It’d be legal and a way better user experience to make tracking opt-in and move the setting to some configuration menu somewhere else.



Federation isn’t something that can be added later. This has to be part of the protocol from the start.



Don’t forget politicians. Millionaires or Billionaires asking for money from the general population to fund the campaign so they can get the job.


Using a Large Language Model for image detection is peak human intelligence.




That’s equivalent to a parking fine for regular people. I know many people who would risk a parking fine if it means that they save a few minutes of searching for a parking spot.


You can buy just the motherboard of a Framework laptop and build something around that. There are even cases for them available to print.


RISC-V is exciting for chip manufacturers, not sure why end users should be. I personally don’t care whether the CPU in my system required the producer to pay a license fee.



It‘d have to be tailored to that car, but that’s all just CANBus and software.


Yes, and UX is bad in web applications. I‘m saying that as a web application developer.


1.6 Billions, and everybody wondered why they bought Weta Digital and what they want to do with it. Apparently they didn’t know as well.

They didn’t even kill competition with that move, they just dealt a major blow to the film industry.


I personally prefer to use such languages, but I often don’t have a choice for certain tech stacks.


It also took 6 years longer than everybody else to support WebGL2, and it’s the only browser without a working WebGPU implementation. It also has no timeline for wasm-gc, while Chrome already ships with it default enabled and Firefox will ship with it on the next release.


As a web developer, Safari needs to either die in a fire or be transferred to a company that actually cares. It’s more than half a decade behind everybody else.



Probably got cold feet because a few important people left as well.



Murphy should probably stay clear of windows and high-risk endeavors for the rest of his life.


Isn’t that the big difference between civil law (most of Europe) and common law (UK, US)? The former follows the spirit of the written laws (even including comments by the lawmakers), while the latter follows the letter of the law.


Here’s an example for that: Apple needed to ship an x86_64 emulator for the transition, but that’s slow and thus make the new machines appear much slower than their older Intel-based ones. So, what they did was to come up with their own private instructions that an emulator needs to greatly speed up its task and added them to the chip. Now, most people don’t even know whether they run native or emulated programs, because the difference in performance is so minimal.



That’s actually pretty impressive, given that he 10x overpaid for it.


Microsoft is actually pushing Windows on ARM right now, since their exclusivity deal with Qualcom expired. This is going to get interesting.
