Intel and AMD have flipped places. AMD used to be all about the technology, while Intel focused on fluff. Now, Intel is all tech, and AMD is all fluff.
Based on AMD’s CES 2026 presentation, it appears that AMD is no longer interested in competing with Intel.
Instead, the messaging seems almost entirely focused on NVIDIA. What’s puzzling is that much of it feels more like marketing fluff, albeit very polished and visually impressive.

Both Dell and Samsung have introduced new laptops powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 - Dell XPS and Samsung Galaxy Book6.
Some interesting developments and similarities stand out:
- Neither offers a discrete GPU (Nvidia 50##) option anymore.

If you’re wondering why RAM prices are so high, well... NVIDIA’s Vera CPU has 1.5 TB of system memory that is 1.2 TB/s LPDDR5x.

Ever since karpathy decided to become a “vibe coder” and started using Claude Code to control his appliances, social media has been about 80% Claude Code.
In other news, people are now stitching together different AI tools rather than writing code.

I just found out that I can use Google Antigravity IDE with Claude Opus 4.5. It gives me a 2-million-token context window, and the usage limit resets every five hours.
Nice!
Nice!
I upgraded to Google AI Pro after realizing that I’d only be paying an extra $7.
Google AI Pro: $ 19.99
minus Google Home Premium Standard: $ 10.00
minus Google One 200GB: $ 2.99
equals $ 7.00

Does anybody do this - if so, any feedback?

This makes sense. Both 2027 and 2028 will be miserable for him. He may even be impeached a few more times as well. Might as well switch the country, so he can be El Presidente for life.

where good ideas come from (for coding agents) by Sunil Pai
He wanted a better map for coding agent, so he used steven johnson’s where good ideas come from as a rubric, the seven patterns that reliably produce interesting ideas, and tried applying it to coding agents:

Is Canggu, Bali worth it for a short-term stay focused on exercise and good food?
My one and only visit to Bali was a major disappointment. I was expecting a tropical paradise, but it isn’t one; instead, it felt more like Cancun for Australians, with beaches that were neither as pretty nor as clean

Trump invading a foreign nation and forcibly removing its leader is WRONG.
That said, Nicolás Maduro is responsible for immense suffering in Venezuela: millions of Venezuelans have been harmed under his rule, and he has impoverished what should be one of the region’s most prosperous countries.
