@eff.org On X you posted that you were leaving the platform, but there was no explanation of why. Have you posted an explanation elsewhere? I could not find one on your website.

Wading Through AI episode 2 is now up! In it, @DemetriSpanos and I discuss the recent Anthropic announcement about building a C compiler with "parallel Claudes", and how to properly assess AI announcements in general. www.computerenhance.com/p/making-sen...

I'm doing a new discussion series with Demetri Spanos on emerging AI topics. Ironically, the series art was made by hand by Anna Rettberg without generative AI :) First episode is available now: www.computerenhance.com/p/should-you...

The founder of both Twitter and this site, and the new owner of Twitter (X), have decided artists do not deserve the same right to make a living as people who make physical goods.

Testing Substack streaming for Computer Enhance subscribers at open.substack.com/live-stream/... if you'd like to help test the setup!

I have completely replaced File Explorer with FilePilot in daily use. That's probably the fastest I've ever permanently switched a bread-and-butter tool like this. FilePilot beta is more polished than most people's finished products :) filepilot.tech

I recently had the honor of interviewing Zen’s chief architect Mike Clark! I tried to fit in as many microarchitecture questions as I could, including x64 vs ARM ISA power efficiency, 4k vs larger page sizes, 64-byte cache lines, scatter/gather and more: www.computerenhance.com/p/an-intervi...

🧵This past weekend I tabled at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social, and there were a lot of people asking for Meow the Infinite: Book 3. I haven't posted much about it, so here is some information for everyone waiting for the final book!

I do one speaking engagement every year. For 2025, I will be traveling to Sweden for the inaugural Better Software Conference. This is the first time I'll be speaking in Europe, and I look forward to saying hello to folks whom I've so far only ever met on-line.

Testing Bluesky again - still underwhelming. The notifications tab does not work reliably. I click on it, and most of the notifications are missing. I have to expand and contract the top "collapse" list, and then all of a sudden, the replies (which are not part of that list!) magically appear.

One of the most important improvements to Twitter/X for me was the removal of the length limit, so you could convey more complicated information when necessary. Having just arrived here, I am disappointed to see that BlueSky is capped to 300 characters :(
