Apparently Substack's RSS feeds are a disaster, according to Manton Reece, who I trust on things like this. I'll have to take a look.

The MeLE Overclock4C is a nearly pocket-sized desktop computer with an Intel Alder Lake-N processor that’s been pushed to allow better sustained performance by increasing the power limits. After launching the original MeLe Overclock4C with an Intel N95 processor in 2023, MeLe followed up this summer with a version sporting an Intel N100 chip. Now the company […]

OpenWrt is a free and open source, Linux-based operating system designed for routers and other networking applications. While it’s most often used as an aftermarket replacement for the firmware that comes pre-installed on a router, earlier this year the OpenWrt team announced it was partnering with Banana Pi to design and sell the first router […]

I don’t seem like I’d be much of a skiier, do I? (I do not.) But here I am, doing skiing. It’s very (very) popular in Bend, Oregon because of the proximity to Mt. Bachelor (and to a lesser degree Hoodoo) and the outdoor lifestyle vibes here. People you know will be downhill skiing in […]

I liked this: People have too inflated sense of what it means to “ask an AI” about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of “asking an AI”, think of it more as “asking the average data labeler” on the internet. … But Continue Reading

Everybody loves to hate Frequently Asked Questions, or FAQs. More often than not, technical writers pale and stagger at the sight of hefty, unsorted FAQs, as if they were beholding a writhing mass of primal chaos. Others value their pragmatic qualities: FAQs, they say, lower the bar to contribution and are good fuel for LLMs and search engines. My opinion is that FAQs pose a problem only when there’s no strategy around their usage.

I wasn't clear enough yesterday. We're losing the word "podcast" very quickly. It's coming to mean video interviews on YouTube. Our only hope is upgrading the open platform in a way that stimulates the imagination of creators, and there's no time to waste.

Hey everyone!
This is the list of all the changes we’ve done to our projects during the month of November.
Our website has a new look! The illustrated algae-eared rabbit nav helped solve the problem of navigating on mobile. We added a lot of information to this wiki over the years, creating separate portals for its evergrowing content was inevitable, we hope you like the re-design. Some of the content has shifted, and we’ve simplified many of the pages.
A couple of folks on Merveilles got together recently and made a Diablo Tribute tape. A limited run of physical cassettes are currently in production, but in the meantime the tribute album is available to download on Bandcamp.
Next month on December 6th, Devine will share the stage with Iszoloscope, Oddie(Orphx) & Creature at Foufounes Electriques in Montréal as part of AMP Industrial Events. Then on the 7th, we will both(remotely) present a summary of all the interesting analog communication schemes that inspired and found their way into Rabbit Waves and Wiktopher for Iterations 2024 organized by Creative Coding Utrecht.
Devine’s talk for Handmade Seattle 2024 entitled A Shining Palace Built Upon the Sand was released online(YouTube), we also released the written transcript.
Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike we had to close the sale of stickers in our store, we’ll let you know once we resume operations (this also applies to Patreon supporters, we’ll ship perks your way as soon as we can).
Book Club: This month we are still reading The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.
