Popular video games
This is fun: List of best-selling video game franchises. Also good: List of longest-running video game franchises. Before I read the first list my sense of perspective was all off. I certainly hadn’t realised how seriously Mario had nailed it.

The Bitter Lesson
Another one for the archives: The Bitter Lesson. This is an article about how Moore’s Law continues to outdo AI researchers. I thought this was “bitter pill”, but it’s actually “bitter lesson”. (But now I can search for either! :P)
Related: History of artificial neural networks.
Auditors
This is just for the record. (So I can find it later, if it turns out that I want to.)
Mentioned here: KeePassXC Audit Report.
Why you shouldn’t water cool your PC
I watched this video a while back, and was trying to find it today in my blog, but it wasn’t here. But now it is! Why you shouldn’t water cool your PC.
Sourcegraph
Heard about Sourcegraph today. Haven’t actually used it. Seems like the big use case I’d be interested in is code search.
PCPartPicker
ClockworkPi uConsole
This is interesting: ClockworkPi uConsole.
Vicuna
There’s some pretty interesting stuff happening out there: Vicuna: An Open-Source Chatbot Impressing GPT-4 with 90%* ChatGPT Quality.
Using RP2040 PIO to drive a poorly-designed display
