Ok, so you’re saying it’s “technically correct?” Practically speaking, I’d argue that a compiler assuming uninitialized stack or heap memory is always equal to some arbitrary convenient constant is obviously incorrect, actively harmful, and

They seemed to have replaced Mega Bloks with Legos, not skyscraper building materials.

It’s a shame this isn’t the default.

Agree that just being hand-written doesn’t imply quality, but based on my priors, if something obviously looks like vibe-code it’s probably low quality. Most of the vibe-code I’ve seen so far appears functional to the point that people will

Why doesn’t linux just add a kconfig that enables TCP_NODELAY system wide? It could be enabled by default on modern distros.

Published a minimal version and added a link! This implements everything I mentioned except for static linking, so YMMV depending on your C/CXX toolchain and installed packages.

I have a python script [0] which builds and statically links my toolbox (fish, neovim, tmux, rg/fd/sd, etc.) into a self contained —-prefix which can be rsynced to any machine. It has an activate script which sets PATH, XDG_CONFIG

No idea what this vibe code is doing, but two processes on the same machine can always share a mapping, though maybe your PL of choice is incapable. There aren’t many libraries that make it easy either. If it’s not two processes on the same

27us and 1us are both an eternity and definitely not SOTA for IPC. The fastest possible way to do IPC is with a shared memory resident SPSC queue. The actual (one-way cross-core) latency on modern CPUs varies by quite a lot [0], but a good

Could you say more about which extensions you’re referring to? I’ve often heard this take, but found details vague and practical comparisons hard to find.

In my experience it’s common for large intro level classes. While I personally never liked these policies, I do think it’s beneficial to the average student to incentivize attendance. Think 18 year olds who aren’t able to self regulate or f

I was curious and read through the paper you linked. Here's my shot at rational thinking. A few things stood out: 1. Arbitrary prior In the peer-review notes on p.26, a reviewer questions the basis of their bayesian prior: "they n

I am not invoking magic. When proper controls are added, the effect disappears. That is probabilistic evidence against the claim, not proof of anything. Just the outcome of repeated tests. No one is appealing to authority. The experiments a

The “Telepathy Tapes” aren’t new information. They repeat a setup already tested under controlled conditions: facilitators know the answers and guide participants through non-telepathic cues, usually without realizing it. When those cues ar

Ritualistic “magical thinking” stays the same regardless of outcomes or new information. Science does the exact opposite - predictive power determines what’s true. Nobody said your alien hypothesis is impossible; just that it’s highly impla

There’s nothing compelling and original about the twitter UX compared to all the clones. Pretty much across the board it’s just posting short messages and following others. The entire value of a social media platform is in the network. Accu

Me too, and I’m planning the same upgrade. Always wanted to downsize but 60Hz was a deal breaker for me. Been using 120-144Hz+ displays exclusively since the VG248QE in 2013. I was quite surprised to see this entire thread full of HN users

Neat! Which spherical harmonics descriptor are you using, and what does your in-house TB dataset cover? What do you plan to do with any matches you find?
