That twitter thread is brigaded by a blue-mark army of Elon fans who seem confident this was done by Biden administration. Now something off topic: I wonder if blue checkmark ratio can be used to determine the political direction of a threa

"can you slice your changes into smaller pieces?" You don't send a huge patch to a project as a first time contributor. I am sure sigrok would benefit from your improvements, but sometimes the maintainer has a busy life outsi

Some Teslas don't have the sensor hardware and the compute power to do road-safe FSD. This is something Tesla engineers learned the hard way. Things may change in the future as we make advances in computing and AI, but right now it is

I think the jury is still out on the development time. Sure, once you get your code to compile things may go faster. But getting there is not always easy.

First time I see xcancel. Seems to be faster than the x-thread thing. Has it been around for a long time?

For certain things, Rust is painfully slow with no real benefits. We are starting to learn where we should and should not use Rust. If you ask me, Rust is becoming the new Ada. Update: when I wrote slow, I meant development pace, not runtim

The advertisers budget is a fix amount. The more to this guy, the less remains for others. Even if advertiser money was infinite, existence of bot listeners can reduce the "value" of each played ad.

Last time we discussed this, someone basically searched for phrases such as "certainly I can do X for you" and assumed that meant GPT was used. HN noticed that many of the accused papers actually predated openai. Hope this researc

I recall EV drivers end up in more accidents. This may in fact be due to the higher acceleration. There is a reason EV insurance is that much more expensive than ICE.

Explicitly forbidden by Apple ToS. You mention any of that and your app will be rejected.

I think this is an invalid comparison. 1. Steam is voluntary, you are free to instead use gog, epic, whatever or maybe buy physical boxes from the devs. 2. PC games these days can be huge. The hosting cost alone will be significant. 3. Valv

This will kill your ssd performance and eventually also kill your ssd since it will interfere with wear-leveling.

Probably a significant number of HN readers have done something like this at one point. IIRC there is a MIT course where you do a modern Unix clone in one semester. There is an ocean between that and being an expert in Linux internals. Oh,

I think he is wrong on two accounts: 1. While the Linux guy mentioned here is not a great politician and his rant was pathetic, his technical argument was sane. You can put months into creating the perfect data model for your Rust implement

And you know why this crap will continue? Because you guys will go on twitter to discuss this.

New starup idea: build an AI that generates slidedecks with exactly the buzzword soup VCs are looking for this week. Obviously using reinforcement learning :)

My long dev session conversations are full of backtracking. This cannot be good for LLM performance.

These seem rather long. Do they count against my tokens for each conversation? One thing I have been missing in both chatgpt and Claude is the ability to exclude some part of the conversation or branch into two parts, in order to reduce the

Even further back, someone claimed that a three letter agency had paid some developer to introduce backdoor to openbsd (or possibly openssh). Theo did not belive this and publicly disputed these claim and even revealed the name of the whist

IIRC, 64-bit ARM can do 4K, 16K, 64K and 2M pages. But there are some special rules for the last one. https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/64d5f38f4a92140...

Can someone explain those numbers to me? 5-10% performance boost sounds huge. Wouldn't we have much larger TLBd if page walk was really this expensive? On the other hand 9% increase in memory usage also sounds huge. How did this affect

I think you are misunderstanding my message. This should never be the norm. But when the work is challenging and non-trivial something like this happens once in a while.

I don't know, but let me hypothesise. When you work with complex stuff, there will always be one or two urgent meetings where the caller doesn't have time or the data to set up a proper agenda. A meeting invite saying "oh shi

"I tell my reports to decline meeting requests unless the invitations include an agenda and a clear goal." We have a team that works this way 100% of the time, assuming the invitation is not coming from higher management. They are

This may sound reasonable, but the world is not black and white. If we turn every quick question into a complete meeting with agenda and whatnot, the organisation will become extremly bureaucratic. And at some point people will start making

"throwing some spare change in FreeBSDs direction is worthwhile" But that could only last for one year maximum. Because Netflix cancels anything good after a year.
