A helpful early adopter put the ballistics-engine CLI through rigorous real-world testing, validating the physics solver and then testing a brand new ML-enhanced online mode - with surprising results.
In the rush to apply machine learning to everything, we've lost sight of a critical principle: physics works. This post explores why ML should provide small, bounded corrections to physics models rather than replacing them entirely—and what happens when we ignore this principle.
A practical guide to running vLLM on AMD GPUs using Docker and ROCm, then connecting it to Continue.dev's cn CLI for AI-assisted coding.
A detailed look at commissioning a custom PCB design through Fiverr, including costs, communication, deliverables, and lessons learned from getting an Arduino Giga R1 shield designed.
A comprehensive guide to setting up Qwen3-TTS on AMD's Strix Halo platform with ROCm, including a complete blog-to-speech pipeline for generating AI narrations of written content.
A detailed look at Steve Ciarcia's 1981 classic "Build Your Own Z80 Computer" - a foundational text that taught a generation of hobbyists how to construct microcomputers from scratch.
The complete history of Infocom, creators of Zork - from MIT hackers to gaming legends to corporate acquisition. How a group of programmers created an empire of words, and what happened when it all fell apart.
A complete guide to running CP/M 2.2 on real Z80 hardware using the RetroShield, 8bitforce KDRAM2560 DRAM shield, and software SPI SD card storage. Play Zork on authentic silicon!
How the plummeting cost of computation led to exponentially more computing, not less—Jevons' Paradox applied to silicon.
