The newest ESP32 can actually run Linux, and it's getting uncomfortably close to a Raspberry Pi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Espressif has a new ESP32, the ESP32-S31, and that ESP32 comes with a gigabit Ethernet MAC, a USB 2.0 High-Speed host controller, an SD card interface with two slots, and a camera input. It's a pretty standard set of features for a Linux single-board computer, but a rather strange list of things to find on a microcontroller. I've spent a lot of time with microcontrollers, and it's typical to find a couple of cores, a small amount of RAM, GPIO pins, and maybe Wi-Fi on one. Something more advanced
I gave Qwen 3.8 27B a reverse-engineering job I assumed needed a frontier model, and it finished in 30 minutes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Qwen 3.8 27B was one of the most highly-anticipated open-weights releases that I've seen in a long time, and like many others, I immediately got to work testing it out and playing with it when it dropped. I'm running it on a single Lenovo ThinkStation PGX, the compact workstation built on Nvidia's GB10 Grace Blackwell chip, packing 128 GB of unified memory and 273 GB/s of bandwidth. Out of the box, it manages a fairly dull 15 to 30 tokens a second, but with an SGLang, NVFP4, and DFlash2 speculat
Japan tried to build an operating system for the entire world, then the US government intervened (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a version of computing history where the desktop OS that won wasn't Windows. Not because the alternative was Unix-based or because Apple pulled off something different, but because an operating system designed at the University of Tokyo in 1984 was ambitious enough to try to replace the file system with a hypermedia document model, run on a custom Japanese CPU architecture, and encode 1.5 million characters, only to have a US trade report single it out as an unfair trade barrier in 1989.
