a lot of people dont realise the MS military is still using claude, the only good, clean models are the open source, open weight ones

US military reportedly used Claude in Iran strikes despite Trump’s ban

Trump calls Anthropic a ‘Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about’

Thinking about programmers losing their coding skills because of their reliance on AI tools made me wonder if there was some other industry where heavy automation led to concerns over loss of skills. And yes, there is: airplane pilots.

They train manual flight maneuvers regularly to preserve pilot skills, because when the automation fails is precisely when you need a skilled operator.

Check out VRHI, a great Vulkan RHI inspired by bgfx, based off NvRHI built by an ex-Khronos member

ASCII characters are not pixels: a deep dive into ASCII rendering

A look at how I used shape vectors to achieve sharp, high-quality ASCII rendering.

it makes objects safe to pass to multiple threads by default and less thought about passing the "handle" around, but still, idk if I like paying the atomic overheads all the time

I've noticed most rust libraries have their objects as "handles" where they wrap the internal impl in an Arc<> (C++ shared_ptr)

Not sure if I like this design...
