This is exactly the reason Anthropic's call to slow down A.I. development will fail. Shareholders will be loath to accept that the company loses its lead and a commensurate sharp decline in the company's share price. Moreover, it

I hate VS Code (even though I use it regularly on Linux Mint) because it's basically "File Focused" not "Project Focused" or "Solution Focused." Yeah, I know that it can read Visual Studio Projects and Sol

I would say it already is. But it takes time for all software to be rewritten in Rust.

To me this sounds very welcome. I'm continually scanning and skipping over any HN articles concerning A.I. and LLMs. Having a site (or even a setting in HN) that does this for me is great!

I'm using .NET so I at least have the advantage of being able to use the same programming language on both platforms. I can even share code between the two.

No it isn't. What's transforming the military-industrial complex are the wars in Ukraine and Iran which have shown that cheap drones can totally defeat a much larger and more advanced military force. The road we've taken wher

A little late, isn't it? .NET has had this for over 20 years (pre-compile).

Probably some A.I.-enabled version control system. I mean, everything has A.I. in it these days, right? Yawn!

I'm totally disgusted that my Visual Studio 2022 instance uses 2 Gigabytes (!!) of RAM to run. What the hell is it doing that it's using that kind of memory? How about those morons solving that first before moving towards Rust. An

Some deployments can be AOT compiled (ASP.NET, mobile), others (like WinForms, WPF) cannot. That makes it confusing and fickle since not all language features work with AOT. Microsoft needs to choose for AOT Full Monty and leave the CLR beh

That grin will soon be wiped off their faces when Linux Mint takes over the desktop and wipes another one or two Trillion dollars off their market cap.

I'm personally a big fan of garbage collected languages. It's just unfortunate that Microsoft chose C# not to be Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiled but running on a virtual machine like Java (after which it was modeled after). Alas, tha

The service wouldn't be illegal because companies can store customer data and even use that information for marketing and advertising purposes. They just can't sell or share it with anyone else.

There are dozens of TV manufacturers in China and the competition is intense. I'm hoping that one manufacturer will come up with the USP to make a TV that doesn't spy on you, doesn't show ads and uses secure software like a m

The Koreans are taking a huge risk destroying the trust they've built over the last 30 years with this incessant spying and adware. Both LG and Samsung are engaged in this and it could open the door to Chinese rivals like TCL and HiVis

Companies are totally blind to the fact that A.I. is a complete turn-off to many customers. Not having / using A.I. may even become a unique selling point in the future.

I assume Microsoft would be able to rewrite the monolithic Windows kernel to a microkernel. So far, they haven't but it wouldn't surprise me if they experiment on Azure with a custom microkernel version of Windows. Linus Torvalds

Or we could just dump Linux and Windows and switch to a microkernel operating system, which is much more secure. These endless patching cycles are simply not going to work in the long run. Operating systems get orphaned all the time, especi

It also implies that Google,Meta and others can't put trackers on other people's websites. That kills about 99% of all tracking on the internet. Foreign companies would also be banned from placing trackers to close any loopholes.
