Mainly, a friendly and simple UI. Feedly looks like it hasn't gotten much love recently. Inoreader is too cluttered for my taste, though it has a feature set I can't match any time soon.

I have plenty of other ideas for what to build on top of it: offering an SDK and APIs so you can vibe-code the UI you want, a built-in podcast listener, using news from aggregated feeds to build a personalized AI feed. But the first step is to reach the Google Reader feature set minus social features.

The problem for ARM is that there are a dozen RISC-V companies implementing their business model.

You license ARM cores because you want a “custom” chip but do not want to start from scratch. You especially do not want to have to bootstrap a software ecosystem. When ARM had no competition, it is just a question of which ARM core you want.

Now, you can get the same thing from any RISC-V design house. Which means having real choice over the features you want. If ARM is just one of those RISC-V shops, how does ARM compete? By being the best? Not likely.

And, in the past, you could not totally outgrow ARM as they own the ISA. The Qualcomm lawsuit was an attempt to maintain tight control over this. With RISC-V, you can pack up and move your whole ecosystem elsewhere including taking it entirely in-house. This includes the ISA to an extent since anybody can add extensions.

Today, we are seeing RISC-V succeed where this flexibility matters most: in microcontrollers and in AI.

But as performance equalizes, volumes go up and costs come down, the use cases where ARM makes more sense dwindle.

That makes backwards compatibility the last real reason to use ARM. But does this matter on mobile where devices download the apps that match their arch? Not really. Does it matter in most embedded cases? Not really. Does it even matter in the server? More, but even there not as much as it used to. Does it matter for anything mostly GPU or NPU driven? No. So that leaves desktop and laptop. And, outside of Apple, ARM has not really built up anything to stay compatible with. RISC-V may have time to grow into that niche before being blocked.

We are going to exit 2026 with RISC-V chips that are fast enough. How fast will the costs come down? Perhaps a year or two?

What markets is ARM well positioned to continue its dominance in?

> The game has change. The ‘how’ we build it is easy. The ‘what’ we build is and always has been the hardest part of any SaaS or business.

This is what the promptfondlers don't want to admit: the how has been easy for a long time. This last, I dunno, 35 years or so, Visual Basic, Delphi, whatnot, producing code has been very easy. You don't need a fundamentally fascist probabilistic nightmare to do it. The hard problems are indeed is "what" to build and how we maintain it. There's only hype. There's no results. https://mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the-shovelware...

As for fascism, check https://blog.bgcarlisle.com/2025/05/16/a-plausible-scalable-... for example

> By “fascist” in this context, I mean that it is well suited to centralizing authority, eliminating checks on that authority and advancing an anti-science agenda.

Run a code review agent, and ask it to identify issues. For each issue, run multiple independent agents to perform independent verification of this issue. There will always be some that concur and some that disagree. But the probability distributions are vastly different for real issues vs hallucinations. If it is a real issue they are more likely to happen upon it. If it is a hallucination, they are more likely to discover the inconsistency on fresh examination.

This is NOT the same as asking “are you sure?” The sycophantic nature of LLMs would make them biased on that. But fresh agents with unbiased, detached framing in the prompt will show behavior that is probabilistically consistent with the underlying truth. Consistent enough for teasing out signal from noise with agent orchestration.

It's so weird to me that these folks don't just retire with a bag of money to a nice beach house and enjoy life. They're always seeming to meddle. And in doing so they take away our, and their peace. It's like they're troubled deeply and they need us to be also? Why can't they just not do demonstrably evil, deeply wrong things?

I need three new phones in close future for the family and I think I will go with Google Pixels and GrapheneOS. There is foldable phone available! It’s cheaper, I can deduct phones in full in the same year since the phones are <800€ before taxes (relevant probably only in Germany). And imho Apple’s premium promise is gone with glass design. Too many small errors.

No one is forcing you to hire formerly incarcerated nannies but you also aren’t entitled everyone’s life story. I also don’t think this is the issue you’re making it out to be. Anyone who has “gotten in trouble” with kids is on a registry. Violent offenders don’t have their records so easily expunged. I’m curious what this group is (and how big they are) that you’re afraid of.

I also think someone who has suffered a false accusation of that magnitude and fought to be exonerated shouldn’t be forced to suffer further.

Why are you assuming you'd have to do the work yourself?

This is a perfect use case for a new agent to query the old agent and get the details.

You could have OpenClaw summarize and export them into a format that the new one wants.

Maybe the new agents will be designed to be compatible with OpenClaw's style.

There is no reason to believe that you're locked in to something.

>are there nice recommended resources

I often wondered why people asks this in the age of LLMs, and I think i know why now.

When you ask this question, you are not asking for resources, you are asking for "what is a guide that I can just follow mindlessly without thinking that will enable me to do said thing"

You will never learn anything this way, or be anywhere decent at it.

If you actually want to learn, you have to be curious. And if you are curious, you are able to ask questions. And for questions, you have LLMs.

If you are still clueless on what questions to ask, then start by learning how to actually learn.

You mean the the case where he came to her door dressed like death with his face almost completely covered?

Pretty extreme bar your setting. I would think most people would agree it could still have extremely (and surprisingly) potent accuracy and still fail in this case. I wouldn't expect facial recognition to work in a case when there is little to no face to work with... if that guy came dressed like that to any airport or mall he would've been detained immediately.

The author seems to be complaining about the fact that you can't make a pet hobby project succeed purely out of technical excellence. First of all welcome to the club: musicians and artists and people of taste have long lived with the constant pain of watching the majority of people consume crap. Secondly: it's not true that products cannot succeed on the basis of pure technical excellence. Figma, TigerBeetle, and much software of the highest class have won the market on the basis of technical excellence, and it's the kind of thing amateurs with AI will never be able to build. You need to find an audience with a real problem and then produce a technically superior solution that an amateur with AI cannot.

A priori I am very suspicious of any magic diet claims that bring up “inflammation”. I know that chronic inflammation seems to be a major problem among western diets, but that’s exactly why it has become this unfalsifiable catch-all explanation for anyone who wants to sell you something. The seed oil people also smoothly switched to “inflammation” once it became clear there was no correlation between seed oil intake and obesity rates.

I recommend using AI, for example Claude Code Opus, and letting it guide you step by step through how it works and what you need to do. Make sure to use Plan Mode so Claude analyzes and explains the approach before jumping into execution.

I did this once to reverse engineer a free tool that no longer ran on Windows 11 and had no maintenance. I used Ghidra for the actual reverse engineering. Claude initially asked whether it might be illegal to reverse engineer software, but after I told him it was just for learning purposes, he guided me flawlessly. I think it's perfectly fine to do this for small, free software solutions that are no longer maintained.

Don't know if it's still this way, but I had the exact same experience with the XEPs a decade ago. Even message history is an extension, but at least it has broad support. File transfer was much harder to get right.

The servers (ejabberd included) also all defaulted to a simpler but less secure config, so I would've appreciated a writeup like this post back then.

There's no need to lose face to the vast majority of their customers, who don't read tech blogs or know who Siracusa is.

They can just boldy advance forwarded in a rearward direction and claim whatever they want about it. They've done it multiple times - every new iPhone and iOS has looked "the best and newest" and made the last one that looked the best and newest look old-hat.

The problem is they go from being at the center of everything outside x86-64 to just another RISC-V provider. And there will be dozens. And the market will not care so much as they succeed and fail as the ecosystem will not depend on the suppliers specifically. How does ARM stay at the top of that dog fight? It is a much bigger challenge than they have faced so far.

Why are shareholders less likely to veto a evil person in a company vs in a co-operative? I think in most cases, the evil person is likely to get vetoed but sometimes greed takes over, specially over period of years and decades.

I agree. You understand why I wrote this post. It's what I wanted to read 3 weeks ago. We're told "Use Diagnostics like the json stdlib module!" but then you realize the json module is way too simplistic for a complicated application.

But also, I'm sure this method has flaws and can be greatly improved, so hopefully we can come to the right solution.

It's a good argument. Canned UI and pre designed user interactions are already done for. We can't sit around and think of what a user might want to do or how to present that. Those concepts have to be fluid and chosen by the user.

While agents that can book a hair appointment are interesting, that's more of a workaround than the kind of UI I think we're going for. The visual appearance of the software itself must change dynamically according not only to the task but to the user's preferences. This is something we haven't seen demonstrated yet.

Reinforcement learning is not done with random data found on the internet; it's done with curated high-quality labeled datasets. Although there have been approaches that try to apply reinforcement learning to pre-training[1] (to learn in an unsupervised way a predict-the-next-sentence objective), as far as I know it doesn't scale.

Like the user clicks a button, now widget a1 » a1.3 » a1.3.2 » a1.3.2.2 should be in an "open state", while widget b1 » b1.2 » b1.2.1 needs to be in "disabled state" and widget c3 » c4 » c5 shows a status message.

> My claim is that if they could have sold that inventory at a profit, they would have.

That's utterly incorrect. They don't just want profits - that would be easy to obtain by sending the merchandise to an outlet - they want high profits in a way that maintains high profits in the future too. Any discount "cheapens" the brand by giving customers the expectation of low(er) prices in the future.

You should be able to do that via DNS SRV entries.

_xmpp-client._tcp.domain.tld. TTL IN SRV priority weight port target
_xmpps-client._tcp.domain.tld. TTL IN SRV priority weight port target

example:
_xmpp-client._tcp.not-my-domain.com. 3599 IN SRV 5 0 5222 jabber.my-domain.com.

You could also build a reverse proxy setup. Then you wouldn't need the keys to the SSL certs. But that is probably overkill to run at your client: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Tech_pages/XEP-0368

I don't think I have seen a client complain about the cert being for jabber.my-domain.com
Which one is giving trouble there?

Society does a poor job of assessing the degree of crime. It's too binary for people: You're either a criminal or not. There are too many employers who would look at a 40 year old sitting in front of them applying for a job, search his criminal record, find he stole a candy bar when he was 15, and declare him to be "a criminal" ineligible for employment.

Transparency always loses.

Shutting down the only working database is the proof point that perfect is the enemy of good.

Of course, this gives cover to the "well, we're working on something better" and "AI companies are evil"

Fine, shut it down AFTER that better thing is finally in prod (as if).

And if the data was already leaked because you didn't do your due diligence and didn't have a good contract, that's on you. It's out there now anyway.

And, really, what's the issue with AI finally having good citations? Are we really going to try to pretend that AI isn't now permanently embedded in the legal system and that lawyers won't use AI to write extremely formulaic filings?

This is either bureaucracy doing what it does, or an actual conspiracy to shut down external access to public court records. It doesn't actually matter which: what matters is that this needs to be overturned immediately.

You can ask Opus 4.6 to do a task and leave it running for 30min or more to attempt one-shooting it. Imagine doing this with three agents in parallel in three separate work trees. Then spin up a new agent to decide which approach of the three is best on the merits. Repeat this analysis in fresh contexts and sample until there is clear consensus on one. If no consensus after N runs, reframe to provide directions for a 4th attempt. Continue until a clear winning approach is found.

This is one example of an orchestration workflow. There are others.

a couple years ago it felt like the iPhone just worked. currently, it's so buggy i can't ignore it. some of these which i encounter every day:
- screen is dimmed when unlocked, then after a minute or so, goes to normal brightness
- touch screen does not work when receiving calls, so i can't answer. same for alarms, where i have to use the volume buttons to snooze the alarm, then touch starts working so i can manually clear it
- alarms not going off, or just being silent. so many time's i've woken up next to my phone being completely silent with the alarm interface being active
- keyboard not appearing sometimes causing layout issues
- using reduced transparency in Apple Music causes a huge empty area to appear in the bottom bar where the dynamic (?) "current song playing" appears
- rearranging icons on the home screen feel like it's a 50/50 chance moving the icon actually succeeds. the other half of the times, the icon just returns to where ever it was before
- re-arranging the control center do not register, or actions are delayed and makes it so un-intuitive what is going on

some design things which are intended which annoy me so much are:
- plugging in a charger will force show you the battery, so you can't use your phone for a few seconds
- hold and dragging the keyboard spacebar to move the cursor has some delay until the keyboard returns to normal, and tapping the spacebar again (when i need to place a spacebar) resets the delay

iMessage and AirDrop is so convenient, and the integration with AirPods is super clean. i would really like to continue using iPhone, but every day i feel somewhat depressed over how laggy iOS is :(

Okay, and? Do you think the fact that neighbors having their own expansionist ambitions is somehow a “gotcha”? And given the whole Greater Israel plan, do you seriously think that Israel would have even allowed this to happen?

Now, back to the present day. Palestinians live under a system of occupation and blockade and recently genocide. This is not a just situation. It is also not sustainable without continued repression and use of force. There is no way that Israel will be welcomed into the wider ME under this regime.

What does an AI degree provide? Is it really different than majoring in CS? AI has been pretty standard in CS undergrad programs AFAIK. At least in high school it seems that AI curricula is just learning to use LLMs and understand a few concepts. That does bring value at a society level but I am not sure if this makes sense as an undergrad degree (if that is what they are only teaching).

It takes a certain personality to continue hoarding wealth even when you know that it comes from exploiting others. The reason why they can't just not do demonstrably evil things is that they have relied on doing evil things to get to where they are.

Answering questions in the positive is a simple kind of bias that basically all LLMs have. Frankly if you are going to train on human data you will see this bias because its everywhere.

LLMs have another related bias though, which is a bit more subtle and easy to trip up on, which is that if you give options A or B, and then reorder it so it is B or A, the result may change. And I don't mean change randomly the distribution of the outcomes will likely change significantly.

> If the new factory can make a billion drives but they only have 2 of those futures contracts sold (that is 200k drives) they don't build the factory.

But the AI companies are flush with cash and trying to buy everything, right? Why wouldn't they buy up as many futures contracts as the fab company needs to justify more fabs?

> Every year a few farmers realize they are contracted to deliver more grain than they have in their bins and so have to buy some grain from someone else (often at a loss) just to deliver it.

This is most commonly because they had a bad crop and had sold a futures contract for X bushels expecting to grow 2X but 75% of the crop failed and they only have 0.5X.

Semiconductor fab yields aren't as susceptible to how much it will rain next year and the companies generally have a pretty good idea of what their yields are for a given process node.

Not a paid post but a bunch of generalities with no specifics. C1 is by far the worse of the bunch in the banking sector. C1 now openly engages in stack ranking and has absolutely destroyed employee morale, all due to hiring ex Amazon directors.

For any future workers, be highly forewarned that if ex Amazon leadership enters your company their number one goal becomes inducing mass misery to magically raise the share price. It'll never work because they are coming from a company that has a massive unregulated monopoly (or oligopoly if you want to be technical) that is able to subsidize poor business ideas indefinitely. They mistake working in this environment as having competence so be warned: they will fuck everything up, collect massive bonuses, and you'll be collecting unemployment soon enough under their guidance.

I built a tool that scans AI platforms with buyer questions relevant to your domain and shows you whether they mention you or not.

Enter your domain, it generates queries based on your space, sends them to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI, then scores you out of 100 based on how often you show up in the responses.

The part I think is actually useful: it doesn't just tell you the problem. It shows you which queries you're missing from, why, and gives you fix pages (structured content designed to be citable by LLMs) and weekly action plans.
