+1 the Polestar dealer in Lisle has some good deals on lightly used Polestar 3s. Can also lease fairly well.

I think you caught me on this one…
Why the obsession with Diet Coke? FAQ Wednesday #1
Technical empathy is absolutely core to what makes marketing possible at @oxide.computer - couldn’t have said it better myself
Also it’s not available on work plans so this shouldn’t be a business/IT concern unless you’re avoiding paying for your employee’s Claude subscriptions.
Dispatch with computer use (and maybe chrome) disabled seems fine actually. Cowork go grab data from various connectors and build a spreadsheet to analyze them and slides to summarize seems totally normal and good.
Yeah it comes off like “Google says…” and implies a lack of oversight/verification
Shout out @benleonard.bsky.social for the eye candy on the refreshed @oxide.computer website
Yes, just needs to be replaced to continue making future updates to the switch configuration
SAS expanders give me the creeps
Screenshot of a GitHub pull request review approval. User david-crespo approves the changes with the comment: “Checked it further, I think it’s good. Congratulations, you have been promoted to website engineer. Your raise of $0 will be processed shortly.” followed by a note about a CI job not running, suspecting GitHub is to blame.
Used Claude Code to fix a small but impactful problem in how the @oxide.computer website presented our FAQ Friday posts. Enjoyed proposing a solution rather than only writing up an issue that would add to a real engineer’s already full plate.
Because the marketing VP forced them to
Oxide x Noctua collab when?
Big “I told you so” energy from me on this one. Discord has always been corrosive to the internet.

You look at them and understand that a real computer company builds our own real, tangible hardware. It’s not just an idea anymore, an incredible team has brought their ideas into the real world. Wanted to make sure to thank Sean for bringing that to life in his photos. www.seangelbaugh.com

They’re in the press release, in our investors’ galleries, and in presentations our sales team puts together. They’re grounded in the reality of a startup; they’re real photos of real pre-production hardware that’s had a long life being shipped around the country to trade shows and customer demos.
The photo of our next-gen @oxide.computer compute sled in our Series C announcement is Sean Gelbaugh’s work. He spent a short window in our office with minimal direction and came back with images we’ve now used everywhere. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...
We raised a $200M Series C, now we're putting it to work.
New compute sleds with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs are coming. We're also working with Xsight Labs on next-gen switch silicon with a fully open instruction set architecture (ISA).
The Register has the details: buff.ly/6ghM2b6
Thrilled to share that we have closed our $200M Series C.
Thank you to Thomas Tull's US Innovative Technology Fund for leading this round, along with Eclipse, Riot Ventures, Jane Street, Intel Capital, Counterpart, Friends and Family Capital and all of our additional investors.

Most accurate description of CEVA I’ve read. This is why I order all my toilets on the Costco app.
Good conversation with Tony Fadell on where AI in products is BS and where it can practically improve concrete product experiences - are you building a product to enable AI or are you solving a human problem?

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.
The next could be you.
What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.
This is personal — to every one of us.
It will never get old seeing my boss post that I’ve gotten a raise, and it’s happened a few times now!
Usually when I meet someone who is excited about AI but uses ChatGPT, they’ve never heard of Claude or Anthropic.
“Stop telling people to use LLMs” seems like it would be mostly (only?) concerning coming from management in the context of a job. Though I suppose that means it could have better parallel construction with the “stop telling people not to use LLMs” rule.
Except from RFD banning LLM mandates
There was already a “no one can be told to use LLMs” rule in the RFD, perhaps you haven’t had a chance to read it yet?
That was quick
