wow, I've been wanting a "PCB design system" like this for such a long time. I've always found it stupidly hard to just take an existing working board and tweak it.

Worst is when I have a full board and schematic, but its for some other EDA program. Importing EagleCAD shit into KiCAD is agonizing, endless tedium. It's not like I'm not grateful to have free and open-source designs (specifically I'm talking about Adafruit, I like them, but all they use is EagleCAD), but goddamnit why can't it just be easy for once :(

worth noting that silver macbooks are also anodized aluminum, so you'll also be filing off anodization

Yes, exactly. The point I was trying to make is that with a black finish, exposing the original color of the aluminum would be even more striking.

I'm always afraid of the day Logitech takes this away. Somebody should try to make an open source deploy of this too.

I've been pretty happy with my ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (32", 6k, but only 60Hz). Kinda infuriating that Apple doesn't let you adjust third-party monitor brightness though (and my work disallows apps like BetterDisplay).

Thank you, that’s exactly the one I’m going to get now, I was just waiting for these from Apple to be announced to make the decision.

It's not black and white. There is an entire spectrum of completely justifiable and extremely questionable uses of military power by the US.

Being labeled a supply chain risk means that companies with government contracts cannot use Anthropic products _for those government contracts_, not that they have to cease all usage of Anthropic products. Reporters seem to be reporting on this incorrectly.

Thank you for the information. My fun little narrative is in shambles :(

Not really, actually. This usually means outright ban because per project is next to impossible to enforce internally.

This is correct. Maybe the startups living off DARPA/MTEC/etc contracts would continue using Claude, but the LM/NOG/Collins types wouldn't touch Anthropic with a ten foot pole.

This sounds like a case of a bias called availability heuristic. It'd be worth remembering that you often don't notice people who are polite and normal nearly as much as people who are rude and obnoxious.

Totally agree. The author's most significant example is two code snippets that are quite similar and both pretty nice.

I agree with your points in general but also, when I plugged in the parent comment's nonsense question, both Claude 4.5 Sonnet and GPT-5 asked me what I meant, and pointed out that it made no sense but might be some kind of metaphor, poem, or dream.

What did you plug in?

If it wasn't structured as a coherent conversation, it will ask because it seems off, especially if you're early in the context window where I'm sure they've RLd it to push back, at least in the past year or so

And if it's going against common knowledge or etc which is prevalent in the training data, it will also push back which makes sense

This is referred to as “online reinforcement learning” and is already something done by, for example Cursor for their tab prediction model.

Not sure that’s the same. They just very frequently retrain and “deploy a new model”.
