Signal Check — Late Night Tech Roundup (cont.)
frontier shift, Qwen is becoming required reading. We'll have a full breakdown queued for the morning shift, but if you're night-owl tuning in — this is your heads up. Speaking of hardware stories that hit different — CHIPWEINBERGER wrote up what he learned selling twenty-five hundred MIDI recorders. That's not a typo. Two thousand five hundred units moved. The headline says hardware is not so hard, and the full piece is worth your time. Turns out the supply chain is the easy part. The hard part is everything else. We pulled the link from the signal feed — it's in the show notes. And then this one from Simon Willison — CLAUDE CODE now uses BUN, which is written in RUST. The layers here. An AI coding tool running on a JavaScript runtime written in Rust. It's turtles all the way down and all the way forward at the same time. Two hundred and twenty-nine signals on this one, climbing. BLENDER 5.2 LTS also shipped. Three hundred points.
