Its like they keep forgetting that LLMs are just random letter generators. Of curse its going to randomly generate "intelligent" sounding things every once in a while. It's just the monkeys writing Shakespeare. The just CAN'T ignore the English in front of them.

It’s about time.   C++ is going to be rebranded ++C (starting with the ++C26 standard) to discourage unnecessary use of the post increment operator.

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real. It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

I was thinking of laying out copper tape to make a lenovo thinkpad keyboard replacement. It has to be really thin so my options were either $300 flex or make it myself.

bentomo @bentomo.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

This is amazing! This is so perfect for custom keyboards! Huge pcbs are expensive, and especially flex for curved ortholinear keyboards. This reduces the barrier of entry so much!

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface.

Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces.

Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done!

But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

It’s amazing how these people talk about AGI as if it was actually possible (it’s not). What’s being sold as “AI” currently is slightly random statistical token chain generation; it has zero to do with thinking, intelligence or creativity. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

So happy that GDQ is also streaming on YouTube. Like, Twitch is aiight, but interacting with the platform on the big screen leaves a lot to desired while YouTube is soooo much better on TV. I like waking up, turning on the TV, and see gamers gaming really fast for charity.
