based on the graphics i have always kind of assumed MAGI was some kinda Tandem-like three-way lockstep voting thing

correction: when the cool kids talk about "Uncle Ted", they are NOT referring to Ted Nelson – inventor of hypertext and founder of Project Xanadu.

funny to think about a far future where anthropic is a large, mature, boring public company and its founders' belief in the imminent machine god is a bit of funny trivia like wk kellogg believing bran stopped masturbation

this is lucky because the github merge queue still feels approximately half finished

it's pretty weird that GitHub/Microsoft decided to call it "Copilot" when "Autopilot" was *right there*

it's honesty a little weird to me to see people who are hostile to ai in art and writing, but openly advocating it for things like code

it kinda feels like a value judgement, "this isn't worth my time" or maybe perhaps "it's cool to exploit people writing code but art is where i draw the line"

- $2500+ of enterprise IT infrastructure

I've said it before but I feel it bears repeating: the rise of chatGPT and similar systems is largely due to two things:

1) the decline of approachable computers and learning material

2) the failure of researchers and developers to address pragmatics and practicality

nothing quite like some artisanal hand-crafted 100%-human-written code

Oxide plans new rack attack with Zen 5 CPUs, DDR5 : Oxide says AMD’s Turin EPYCs are coming, switch revamp under review, more open hardware in the works

it’s nice to see @oxide.computer written up like this in The Register, a publication that still reminds me of a time when people still loved computers: www.theregister.com/2026/02/13/w...

If you have ever struggled with a server whose bios won't netboot because there's a misconfiguration on the switch, or the Ethernet cable is not coded right for the speed of the server's card (because your vendor silently
"upgraded" you to 25 Gbit because they were out of 10 Gbit cards), and then when it does boot, it is thermally throttled because it's tiny fans happen to be blowing in the one spot where your electrician tied a bundle of electric cables 10 cm thick, and then once you get the thermal throttling problem solved, you find out your version of IPMItool is incompatible with some stupid extension your server vendor defaulted to "on",, then you might understand why Oxide is a good deal.
If you idea of installing a server is "terraform", you're not going to get it.
