I am following Raku and Zig from afar, and they both share similarities in that both languages are "optimized for fun" in a way, so no surprize that they come together. Zig focus on compilation speed and give developers control (e

The design was driven by regulations that limited to total length of the truck but not specifically the trailer. Smaller tractor, bigger trailer, more carrying capacity, more profit. Sure, visibility is shite, but if it is legal, they will

From my experience, if a LLM starts repeating itself, it means it has given you everything it could, if you get anything new, it will most likely be a hallucination. So consider these frustrating interactions as the LLM way of saying "

Or be convincing to a LLM. Humans reading code is so "legacy"...

I don't think it has much to do with legality. For me the biggest problem is authenticity. On most of the decentralized P2P networks of that time is that you never know what you are getting. Look for some Disney movie, get porn. Very c

For some of the tests, they removed a few tiles before launch, presumably to test that. Starship did fine.

If it was indeed the original script, the reason they changed to batteries is maybe not because "some exec" is an idiot, but because it worked better from a storytelling perspective. Even if treating people as batteries doesn&#x27

Voice commands may be a valuable feature. This thing has limited input: no keyboard, small non-touchscreen. In addition, it is meant to be wired, which means it may end up in an inconvenient position. Also, the SoC they are using has a NPU,

It looks like a completely different product, not an evolution of the Flipper Zero. The main focus here seems to be networking, not Radio/IR/etc... In fact it doesn't even have these features. They could be added but that wou

Git doesn't have an extension system because it works differently from Mercurial in that regard. Mercurial is more monolithic, and is based on python, writing an extension means writing a bit of python and telling Mercurial to integrat

It is another common argument, but again trading a problem for a much harder one. If politicians ban datacenter construction projects, do you think they will take kindly of the process of building them in space? Rockets are really bad from

It is certainly not easy or cheap, but doing it in space is harder and more expensive.

Compute in space is doable, we already send plenty of computers up there, technologically, it is not even a challenge. It just doesn't make sense economically, even with Starship, it is making things harder for no good reason. Starlink

It is a common argument when sizecoding is discussed. "You say it is 64k, but I need a multi-gigabyte OS to run it...". 35MB can't hardly be called sizecoding, but that's the same idea. It is true, but besides the point

I have a hard time believing that Mythos found the only remaining Curl vulnerability. It is possible, but highly improbable. And it is not overkill, the proof is that it found that vulnerability. It is like saying the new version of some st

To me, it is a very good data point. Curl uses all sorts of tools, including AI tools to find bugs. These tools, according to the article found hundreds of bugs including a dozen CVE. Mythos found one vulnerability. It means the Mythos is j

Rust is not alone to compile slowly. And yes, there are reasons, but if you want to pick a language to fit the Turbo Pascal vibes, that's not it. Zig and Go would probably be better modern languages for this. Also "Turbo Zig"
