    It’s 2026, do you even need a full keyboard anymore? This year’s badge is a three-key USB macro pad with only the keys that matter for Al-assisted programming: Y, 2, and Enter. Yes, allow it. Always allow. Submit. You’ve just approved every suggestion, every file edit, every tool call.

    Congratulations, you’re a 10x engineer now! This year’s badge is built around a PIC16F1455 with USB-C HID. The board lights up with 25 addressable RB LEDs 22 side-mount SK6812s for edge glow and 3 WS2812B per-key backlights. Kailh hot-swap sockets let you bring your own switches. Now that you’re the most productive person at your company, you can focus on enjoying the conference!


  • Right every time data centers are talked about they say how many jobs they are creating.

    But they never mention that the majority of jobs are temporary migrate labor in construction roles.

    Once it’s built there is basically no one there. I imagine they create less jobs than regular warehousing since they at least need forklift operators and schedules etc.

    A data center is just a computer the size of a building how many people does it take to physically run the place. Don’t really hear much about this.

    Especially since the entire selling point of ai in general is to eliminate jobs.











  • I will start by saying that of course you shouldn’t do anything you are not comfortable with doing. Especially if you are going to be leaving it unsupervised.

    On the raspberry pi the headers allow you to insert wires directly into the board. Those are I/O pin headers, the black blocks with the holes.

    As the simplest option you would just strips the ends of the wires to get the bare copper and push them into the holes.

    Simple example tutorial on raspberry pi site.

    Next best would be pins that you can crimp onto the wire. Pinch it to the wire with pliers doesn’t have to be too fancy just needs to fit snug in the holes so it doesn’t come loose. You can actually purchase wire that have these pins attached. You can find them by searching for bread board jumper wires as an example.

    Keep in mind that the raspberry pi board is limited to 5v on the output so unless you plan on adding secondary power you are limited in your LED selection based on the output voltage of the pi board.
