the Glasgow Interface Explorer project's new LLM policy:

We do not accept contributions where code was generated partly or in whole using LLMs. These tools are designed to be extractive and place an unreasonable burden on OSS maintainers, both on the level of individual pull requests and for the ecosystem as a whole. If you didn’t bother writing it, we won’t bother reading.

for your consideration: two git aliases that are very useful for debugging CI workflows

[alias]
oops = commit --amend --no-edit
yolo = "!yolo() { git add "$*"; git oops; git push -f; }; yolo"

thanks to AI demand, Lattice cannot make enough FPGAs to fulfill orders on iCE40's (and probably ECP5's) with less than a year of lead time. this is likely to cause supply chain issues for Glasgow revD

  • https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/ai-chip-boom-sparks-bt-substrate-materials-shortage-tsmcs-huge-demand-causes-supply-disruptions-for-nand-flash-controllers-ssds
  • https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20250527PD236.html

words cannot describe my contempt for this shit, and my disdain for anyone still pushing it

(there is no shortage or supply chain issues with the silicon itself. rather, the problem here is the resin used to make a part of the packaging. in theory it would be possible to just glue a die to the PCB and bond it out during assembly, in practice this would be prohibitively expensive as far as I know)

i've been seeing "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE / THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION" image a lot lately and i've come to queston it

sure, a computer cannot be held accountable. but a computer can have properties that are much more valuable than "can be held accountable" (which has happened so little with corporate management that i'm not sure it's even a relevant question anymore): it can be verifiably transparent, and it can be modified in a predictable manner.

try doing that with a CEO's brain! (i mean, i would try, no claims about success though)

now of course i say "can" because the most recent movement in computing is to completely negate those two important properties

the SI people are right and everybody doing it otherwise is wrong; you should never use the "K", "M", etc unit prefixes to mean factor of 1024. sure, with small enough sizes you can usually ignore it. but scale it up and you quickly run into trouble

check out how many juicy bits it has

you can turn the memory scrambler on and off! it even tells you the seed it has on, i think, this specific boot?

IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good!

here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening:

  • you don't need a bouncer (friggin finally)
  • there are moblie clients that work well
  • you can see backlog when joining a channel
  • you can browse chat history
  • you can connect from multiple devices with one account and nickname
  • if you disconnect, your nickname is still present in a channel you joined, marked as away
  • you can highlight or DM people who are away and they'll see your message when they join (without crutches like MemoServ)
  • there is a "last read message" marker and it is synchronized between multiple connections
  • messages have identifiers (and server timestamps) and replies can be tagged with the message you're replying to
  • messages can be redacted (for moderation)
  • you don't need to deal with fussy nonsense like NickServ authorization, ghosting, or such; connect with your username and password and that's it
  • there are typing notifiers, if you want them
  • there are message reactions, if you want them

here's the things it does not offer:

  • image, video, or file uploads (actively worked on: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/562)
  • stickers
  • complex onboarding tools

caveat: since IRCv3 is a true extension of IRCv2, the features listed above work if they're supported by both the server and the client. in my onboarding experience so far, people do not find it difficult to find a suitable client, but your mileage may vary. on the flipside, legacy clients will work just fine.

unexpectly, i realized that IRCv3 can completely replace Matrix rooms for my own group chat purposes, and i'm probably not going to set up any Matrix homeservers again; it's just not worth it and frankly I should instead put that effort into coming up with a file upload IRCv3 extension or something

oh wow, IRCv3 is like... actually good software. with features real people want, like "chat history stored on the server and loaded on demand" and "multiple logins under the same username"

you no longer need a bouncer or use one of those funny nickname|m nicks if you run irc on your phone! you can just do it, like in every other chat software lol
