I found out my brother (9 y/o) is getting a laptop for Christmas (Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon - 16GB RAM). That means I will inevitably be asked to do setup sometime this week. I know the main thing he wants to do is make stop-motion animation videos, but he's not getting a dedicated GPU so Windows is not an option for video editing (or much else these days). What's the best distro for children to learn from? I looked into distros specifical....

The following script takes an email on stdin and constructs the associated lore.kernel.org link based on the email’s Message-ID header. The script copies the link to the Wayland clipboard and posts a notification. The escaping story is not perfect, but at least it is secure. (It only supports the most common characters in the message ID, but then it also can’t accidentally be misused for escaping shenanigans.) The script email-to-lo....

As AI generated content becomes the norm, I believe that human-generated content and raw thoughts and emotion will become more valuable. In many ways, I’d rather read a raw, unproduced, and scrappy blog post with grammatical mistakes over perfectly generated content that serves little value. – Armeet Singh Jatyani, Importance of Writing

Every machine serves a purpose. People need purpose. The temptation to become the machine is higher than ever. The promise of the machine is alluring. If I can just keep chugging forward, I will end up somewhere that is not here. If I can turn myself into a mechanism that takes input and consistently works towards some goal, I will make it. [..] You’re not a machine. You’re a person. Play to your strengths. Be sharp and strategic like ..

A friend recently asked me about restaurants in San Francisco and was shocked I’d never written about Foreign Cinema . Honestly? I was shocked too. It’s my favorite restaurant in the world. Yes, the world. And I travel to London, Paris, Mexico City…

Another entry in the Toy Optimizer series . A long, long time ago (two years!) CF Bolz-Tereick and I made a video about load/store forwarding and an accompanying GitHub Gist about load/store forwarding (also called load elimination) in the Toy Optimizer. I said I would write a blog post about it, but never found the time—it got lost amid a sea of large life changes. It’s a neat idea: do an abstract interpretation over the trace,....

I recently went back and read Ken Thompson’s lecture from the 1984 Turing Awards. The basic idea is well known, but still very interesting: even if you carefully audit a program’s source code and convince yourself it’s clean, that doesn’t mean the resulting binary can be trusted. If the compiler itself is compromised, it can silently inject malicious behavior during compilation, regardless of what the source says. Thompson even shows and ex....

Multiple people on the field expect AGI within the next 5 – 10 years. How will that affect our lives? It feels like it is worth pausing for a moment and wondering. This is speculative. I only hope it will make some readers annoyed enough to form their own thoughts. AGI won’t be selfish. Simply […]

I walked into a budget meeting expecting the usual spreadsheet tour: what went up, what went down, and where we should trim next year. We did that. But in the middle of the call, something else surfaced: we were debating how decisions should happen, not just what the numbers were. Someone suggested a simple rule: any spend above a threshold should go to a committee for approval. It was well-intentioned, practical, and it looked good o....

Here we are at the end of another year, so I will share again the two books I enjoyed the most. Before starting, here are the links to similar posts covering the previous years: This time, after thoughtful consideration, I finally included one Portuguese book. It may not be that interesting for an international audience, […]

Hi. Remember Me? I’m the guy that hasn’t blogged in all of 2025. Yeah, that guy. 2025 has been a huge year. I now own my own home. I have a shed to tear down, another shed to move. I fixed up one of my trucks. I bought a newer (2012) car. I got health … Continue reading The post New 3d Printer, A new BITX* Release, and it’s almost 2026 already! appeared first on MiscDotGeek .
