Ngl the weird UI bugs made me think it must be made by AI, either that or the developer has very skewed frontend skills where gradients are fancy but sliders & interactions are broken.

100%. Whoever did this UI thing, first, would get rich, if Anthropic et al. had to pay for the use of his border-radius, gradient and paddings

Yeah, this is LLM like 99%. Still neat, but ffs just go through a few more testing cycles with it before going live.

I am actually going to guess that this is in fact unfortunately not an LLM. I have been made a few audio webpages and don’t think a lot of these mistakes would have been made, even though the model can’t hear :^)

look at inspect source. the comments like

    <!-- EXACT setup from working simple-test.html -->

    <!-- Chiptune3 now loaded via Vite build system -->
are pretty stark llmisms. also the random emojis in front of the duplicate and triplicate "Browse Music" links, the corny tagline in the footer, yeah nah. if this was made by human hands, it could only have been as elaborate satire. bad/inexperienced human code does not look like this.

> <!-- EXACT setup from working simple-test.html -->

All LLM-kind would be vastly improved if the words "exact" and "brilliant" were nerfed to hell in their pre-training weights or even just removed from their training distributions entirely. Virtually nothing outside of mathematics is "exact", and virtually nothing outside of colors should be described as "brilliant".


Also basic functionality not working paired with awkward and vaguely nonsensical phrasing - search, show all, "Showing tracks from all groups.", queue all -> "No songs found in this group." And that paired with some otherwise relatively sophisticated techniques involved in the basic functionality.

LLMs are on occasion like a kid that can do a standing double backward somersault, but can't walk. It's the same tell you'll have in discussions online. Somebody will spew out extremely esoteric (and accurate) knowledge/concepts, but then demonstrate a complete misunderstanding (or lack of knowledge) of basic concepts in the exact same domain.


invest 20 more minutes?

nah, that's an entire 10 episode rewatch if this libertine vibe coder's agentic engineering pipeline holds! ... shit, mostly ads, if only the dude went through a few more testing cycles ... nah, that's enough time for some auto-research into the psycho-linguistic consequences of getting The Trump voted for president after the whitest black presidency in the history of the world, forever!


> Chips?

Only ST, NXP, Nexperia, Osram, and a bunch more obscure ones. It's not a boom, but it's far from a wasteland


Infineon as well, but all those EU semi companies mostly make cheap low margin chips that more or less compete with the commodity chips of China and Taiwan but not with the IP from the US or even Israel who designs and sometimes also makes mostly high margin CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, switching fabric, cellular modems, etc stuff that the EU uses and imports a lot but has no domestic players in.

In that regard yes, the EU semi industry is kind of a wasteland, considering how big the EU and how small its semi industry is.


Inject some adversarial priming as is in actual usage, and you can probably get that number to >=95%


Our experience with Lenz is that forcing a multi-step process, incl. adversarial debates, helps improve the verdicts.


Because if you go down the callstack eventually you won't get the await keyword anymore; you'll get the actual 'waiters' and 'wakers' which define your scheduling


Yeah. The OS handles scheduling and preemption so it’s done for you rather than a call in the stack.


Except there is little cooling or power in space, depending on your position in orbit you could only have one of those at a time.


military/industrial customers want this for tactical operations fully discreet low latency compute that integrates with there existing space hardware so the ability to run drones, and meatbots from space, with low hardware requirements on the ground, but with lets say 1000~2000 users max, power users, but not that many. so batteries, heat sinks,he refrigeration radiators, on a sattelite fleet. they have been trialing this for years and are pitching putting ALL of the military compute in space, no more dirty civilian hands on there toys


I saw Musk discussing that and his main argument in favour is there's unlimited solar power whereas on earth there are a lot of power constraints.


Sure, in the same way that there is unlimited solar power on earth.

There are orbits with 24/7 or near-24/7 sunlight - but those are very undesirable if you want a low-latency data link back to Earth. Just like you can get 24/7 sunlight on the North / South Pole - but they are still pretty bad locations for a data center.

LEO orbits like those used by Starlink have far better connectivity, but about the same sunlight exposure as the surface as the planet will be between you and the sun about half the time.

Also, power is the easy part. Cooling is far harder.


I think they mean that a non-observant visitor cannot tell the difference between both situations


Wouldn't be surprised if they have their own internal PBX system with a SIP trunk


Sigh. VoIP makes everything less interesting.


That sucks, but also probably the best vindication for their strategy; any other mcu and you just wouldn't know.


Always a bit jarring to see a devboard stacked on an otherwise neat board. Looks promising though.


I've seen commercial products that use socketed devboards inside. If anything, it's just an indication that the hobbyist and professional spaces are slowly converging.


A UPS-style grid connected inverter (with phase balancing) would be significantly more complicated by also significantly more useful. More in the critical/specialized part category, rather than near-commodity (like MPPT/BMS)
