Why I Won't Use AI

Posted on June 17, 2025 If you are a programmer in 2025 you have likely been pressured into adopting generative artificial intelligence tools into your workflow. Maybe you have already been ordered to. You have probably wondered if next year will be the year that you will be replaced with an AI. Or maybe in the next five years. Weren’t we supposed to be replaced already? I do not doubt that people using these tools enjoy using them. If you are one of those folks this post isn’t aimed to, “yuck

Why AI hardware needs to be open

Now it’s mounting a powerful second act, joined by a wave of AI open-source enthusiasts. This time around the stakes are higher, and we need to give it the support it never had. In 2024 the AI leader Hugging Face developed an open-source platform for AI robots, which already has 3,500+ robot data sets and draws thousands of participants from every continent to join giant hackathons. Raspberry Pi went public on the London Stock Exchange for $700 million. After a hiatus, Maker Faire came back; th

Scrappy - make little apps for you and your friends

Software is important to people. Most of us spend our workdays in front of computers. We use the computer in our pocket tens if not hundreds of times every day. The apps we use are almost exclusively mass-market, sold on an app-store, made for thousands if not millions of users. Or they are enterprise apps that are custom-built for hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there isn’t really any equivalent of home-made software — apps made lovingly by you for your friends and family. Apps that aren

'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified. Cue the unimaginative plot, vapid characters and uninspired cinematography, and that is the bulk of these money-making ploys. But the How to Train Your Dragon remake from DreamWorks, in theaters now, admittedly left me awestruck. I went to see the live-action remake of this beloved 2010 film over the weekend and was anxious about whether it would ma

Using `make` to compile C programs

I have never been a C programmer but every so often I need to compile a C/C++ program from source. This has been kind of a struggle for me: for a long time, my approach was basically “install the dependencies, run make , if it doesn’t work, either try to find a binary someone has compiled or give up”. “Hope someone else has compiled it” worked pretty well when I was running Linux but since I’ve been using a Mac for the last couple of years I’ve been running into more situations where I have to

Nintendo Switch 2 Review: Price, Specs, Availability

Switch 2: Switch Harder. Sure, that's a glib summation of one of the most eagerly anticipated games console launches of all time, but it is, nevertheless, apt. The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years. In short, it elevates, hones, and polishes almost every facet of the original Switch to deliver what is almost its ultimate form. The similarities are apparent from the moment you open

The Fujifilm X-E5 is basically an interchangeable lens X100VI

If you have ever looked at the X100VI said to yourself, "Man, I wish Fujifilm would just make an interchangeable lens version of this camera," consider your request answered.

Show HN: Eyesite – Experimental website combining computer vision and web design

Angular 16: Key Features and Best Practices for Modern Development

Introduction So, Angular 16 dropped in late 2023, and honestly, it feels like a pretty big jump forward for anyone building serious, enterprise-level apps. It’s not like they threw everything out the window – it still has that core Angular reliability and the ability to handle really big projects. But what they did add is pretty cool: better ways to catch those annoying type errors early on, some genuinely useful new bits and pieces in the Angular CDK, and a bunch of performance tweaks that sho

Make-A-Wish is auctioning off the chance to become an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6

In a nutshell: Bethesda has remained mostly radio silent regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 development since announcing the project in 2018. The silence ended on Monday when the studio revealed it would be developing an NPC based on the winner of an auction to benefit charity. In a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Bethesda has agreed to "immortalize" one fan as an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6. As part of a charity event, the chance isn't free.
