The Poketomo. As a sensible parent of two teenage kids, my first thought was, "About time I taught them firmware hacking."

Changing people's quotes violates Ars TOC. Don't do it again, thanks.

The omnipresent nature of mobile/cell phones have proved aliens/UFOs/Loch Ness monster/your hot girl/boyfriend do not exit. Anyone claiming otherwise is a gullible idiot. Douglas Adams once famously underestimated distance when he said "Space is big. Really big". Interstellar travel ain't gonna...

I have at work. He thinks everyone should have one. "To do what?" "Run agentic AI". "To do what?" "I've got a meeting to run to, great chat, Koolraap..." EDIT: But back to the topic. Kind of cool, useful for a streaming box? I'm still waiting for AI to do something useful with upscaling...

No can do, all my xboxen controllers only have ABXY.

I'm the same as Dave, software engineer. I feel exactly the same way as him, I have to adapt or I'll be out. I've done it multiple times in the 30 years I've been working. 4GL, Thin Client, Fat Client, Thin Client again, Fat Client again, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, SQL, no-SQL, that internet thing...

My opinion is nobody should lose their job over this. Very clearly many people disagree. Last time I lost my poop at Ars, was, well if you can be bothered go through my post history and look for Edward Snowden, and IIRC Ken disagreed with me. I'm a 50-something year old software engineer and AI...

My 2c. Any author at Ars that needs a hug, you can have one from me. I hope you'll be back. I love your work. I've definitely lost my poop at an Ars' article or two over the years, very firmly, very rudely. This one, well... for me it's more a warning sign. AI is a thing. It's changing...

No matter how bad AI is, it's still going to produce a better result than Highlander 2 (theatrical release).

The Cerebras’ Wafer Scale Engine 3 is huge!

Makes sense for Microsoft to keep their options open given Intel hasn't been delivering on their fabrication promises for what, a decade? Also x64 is the high-end of the CPU price curve, you'd want to make sure your OS can run on el cheapo ARM SOCs. Sigh. All software has bugs. Software...

Nah, I reckon we all should get excited by this piece of science news. Have you looked at other stories on the Ars homepage? All together: Woo! Totally intentionally explosions!

Somewhere in the Ninth Circle of Hell... no wait, Nirvana, dammit where was it again? Anyway, somewhere beyond this mortal realm is the Library of Unfinished Series, choose poorly in this life and you may get to visit and be forced to read them.

The only 8K content I've seen is demo reels in shops, and it did look really better than 4K from a distance -- I find those distance charts don't match reality, to me higher res does look better even if you're "too far" away. Having said that I wouldn't want an 8K TV, mostly because I don't have...

The article says Yeah... that's a good reminder to remove all that debug logging I've uh... my colleague... has running in far too many containers in prod , uh I mean, isolated test environments. And, as usual, I'll happily say to anyone who's ever said, "Linux can't get viruses": nyah, nyah...

Dude, the White House is so many orders of magnitude beyond your plan it's just silly.

@Kyle Orland what the heck? Are you trolling us? EDIT: AI is a toaster. Don't take shit from a toaster.

Sigh... I'll take one for the team and bite. You'll let me back into the tree house afterwards, okay? Junk food, and obesity is a (cough) huge issue. If the nutjob in charge takes meaningful action and lasting action against junk food that would be a long overdue positive step for health. Very...

Anyone care to define an equation that defines how often we should expect to see Articles leading with this here on Ars?

Dusfud how long you been working? 10 years tops?
