JUST IN: Meta unveils Muse Charm, a Tamagotchi-style AI gadget designed to fit on a keychain, with Zuck calling it a “joyful little device.”

This is a solid deal... it's a 5090 FE as well.

I think it's because universities still do Computer Science. We don't need nowhere near that many computer scientists, and yet software engineering is taught almost nowhere. It makes total sense for CS - CS is basically the math, proof, and formal logic land of computing - where "how" it works doesn't matter, as you basically operate on imaginary math-world computers anyway. A computer scientist is not concerned with memory management, scheduling, and whatnot. They're working out a sort algorithm, an optimal concurrency model, or proving algorithms work. Maybe they will be concerned with scheduling if their work is strictly relating to scheduling. And even then, it's gonna be a math-land ideal scheduler, not any real situation. That's why I kinda find CS to be a mostly useless degree nowadays. Sure, it's useful if you want to be a scientist, but a software developer is the exact opposite of a scientist, they are an engineer, and 99% of people doing CS want to be the engineer.

🚨 OpenAI are now contributing to the Mac shortage OpenAI have apparently bought tens of thousands of Mac minis + Mac Studios for RL and computer use training Anthropic are mass renting Mac minis through AWS too At this point every decent piece of compute is just going to get eaten by AI labs, looks like a good time to buy

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to New York. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

Programming languages used in popular games .

If you have a Thunderbolt or USB4 eGPU and a Mac, today is the day you've been waiting for! Apple finally approved our driver for both AMD and NVIDIA. It's so easy to install now a Qwen could do it, then it can run that Qwen...

I hope the MacBook Neo finally humbles Microsoft. Windows has progressively gotten worse and worse over the years, just extreme levels of bloat and no significant improvement in terms of user experience. Somebody needs to give Microsoft a huge shock, force them to shut everything down and rebuild Windows from scratch.

NVIDIA’s CEO says OpenClaw did in 3 weeks what Linux took 30 years to achieve "OpenClaw is probably the single most important software release ever. If you look at its adoption, Linux took some 30 years to reach this level. OpenClaw, in what is it, 3 weeks, has now surpassed Linux. It is now the single most downloaded open-source software in history, and it took just 3 weeks."

Hey Apple, see how everyone loves the colors on the Neo and how the iPhone 17 Pro is selling really well? I have an idea for you, free of charge.

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel. Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/bu…
