I started watching Person of Interest and it's brought back memories of the early 2010s, including tech forums and online communities. The show has aged remarkably well despite being 15 years old.
The Peter Principle suggests people are promoted until they reach incompetence, but career pressure can lead them to take on more tasks and risk losing their job. This creates a situation where individuals may become "imposters," pretending competence while actually doing dirty work or sabotaging others to advance their careers.
This project demonstrates that a 64 GB CPU can run large MoE models, such as 284B DeepSeek-V4-Flash and 30B Nemotron-3.5-A3B, at full context using zero GPUs.
The author has retired Claude Code as their main coding harness due to frustrations with its features and stability. They're now using Pi, a more stable and customizable alternative that offers better performance and user experience.
The author has developed a text rendering technique for the RP2350 microcontroller board, using bitmap fonts and a "just-in-time" (JIT) compiler to generate optimized code. The JIT compiler runs under 100µs before scanout of the video line, making it suitable for real-time applications like racing-the-beam rendering.
