Everyone's been talking about Nvidia’s GPUs. Meanwhile, Lisa Su has discreetly turned AMD into a chipmaking phenom -- and she's out for Nvidia's blood.

The latest @wired.com Big Interview is an excellent, excellent read.

Lisa Su Runs AMD—and Is Out for Nvidia’s Blood
While everyone else has been talking about Nvidia’s GPUs, Lisa Su has discreetly turned AMD into a chipmaking phenom. And as the US-China tech war rages, she’s at the center of it all.

How are people publishing ClojureScript libraries that need JS dependencies these days?

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways?

There's a traditional differentiator in software engineers between those who are great at debugging - and those who find it tough.

This is not a relative quality judgement - we've all seen developers who are perhaps not great at debugging produce fantastic work, innovative and creative.

@dazld.bsky.social demos using Sombra from inside #claudecode to create a new collection, save content to it, and then use all that context to get instant feedback on your project. #vibecoding #ai

Ever wanted to supercharge Claude Code with blog posts, articles and documentation?

Build collections in Sombra and access them directly in your prompt via Remote MCP - don't rely on baseline training data, and tell it _exactly_ what you need, for any language.

This is just a *taste* of what the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—under construction for ten years and hosting an 8.4 m-diameter mirror and the largest CCD camera ever built—is going to give us.

The first-look pictures have just dropped, and this is one of them.

Was a busy week, but have added a bunch of new features.
sombra.so Sombra @sombra.so · Jun 20
New features abound!

- Fixed compatibility with The Browser Company's Arc and Dia browsers. This was a rabbit hole, but we got there!
- User supplied notes - add your own notes when creating saves, see these across MCP and Dropbox
- Added a new context menu option

It still amazes me to see new applications in 2025 going with password authentication as their default, first option.

Friends - please stop.

Use 2FA, federated logins, and - only if you really, really have to - passwords as a last resort.

Long form fascinating read on the importance of creativity and inspiration, and the rebalancing away from raw productivity. I'm exploring similar ideas with my new project, and it's reassuring to see not on my own.

Arc's decision to not fully support chrome APIs (and worse, silently failing) but at same time pretend to be Chrome in their UA is baffling.

The workarounds from a service worker are truly horrific. Querying tabs and then detecting a possible CSS variable is awful, awful.

Debugging cross browser issues 2025 style - Arc has a weird incompatibility with Chrome extensions where the popup doesn't show if there's a "sidepanel" entry in the manifest! Turns out the simplest fix is just to remove it - BUT WHY!?

We've launched a new feature on our MCP integration - a new dynamic collection that's composed of the ten most recently artifacts that you've collected, but haven't placed into a collection yet.

Try it out and let us know what you think - sombra is 100% free and unlocked across all features ootb!

I've been busy! I built this to solve a personal itch - namely how to organise and collect web content, including private data, and make it available to AI clients such as Claude Desktop.

The stack is Clojure, Datomic and TypeScript - a potent combination.
sombra.so Sombra @sombra.so · Jun 11
We're up and live! Sombra is now publicly available.

Turn your web browsing into an AI-ready knowledge base. Save any page as searchable markdown, organize into collections, and connect directly to Claude Desktop via MCP.

Ken Liu's translation of the last book in the Three Body problem is fantastic. I do wonder what the second book would have been like if he had also done the translation duties there.

If you didn’t know, wired subscriptions cost less than a fancy coffee for a whole year.

It’s a no brainer to subscribe. If you want two fancy coffees I’m sure they wouldn’t complain 🫶
People have been asking how they can pay *more money* for @wired.com -- a lovely question to get! So we've created an option for Superfans to pay a higher price for a subscription.

Subscriptions make WIRED's journalism sustainable for the long haul. We're grateful for that support.

I'm in the market for a new role - fully remote from the EU, full stack!

If I can stay in the #clojure world, that would be amazing - but open to doing node/JS/TS/Python or mashups of all the above. Happy place is small, high-trust, high-skill teams, with a strong partnership with product folks.
